This Buds for Sale.
 
$46 billion! Are the makers of Stella Artois going to be the new owners of Busch and Bud?

Either way, they'll still make crappy beer. I know some people like Stella, but I still think it's piss.

Really? I quite like Stella Artois. I think this would be a fantastic step forward for ANY american beer company.

I realized he other day I just don't like beer.

Heineken is probably the best I've had, but I would prefer a good whiskey or rum any day. Beer is just watered down grossness. :\

Don't to mention you need to drink a ton of it to have any effect (if that's what you're going for), and that's just going to make you fat. And the people I know that drink will chug about 10 beers in an hour to get drunk.

It seems much more logical to do a few shots instead.

That's pretty much exactly how I felt about beer for the first two years in college. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I'd go to parties and be handed a PBR, Miller High Life, or Genessee Cream Ale..all very cheap and not tasty beers...Only untill I actually tried some good microbrews did I discover that beer could be delicious and not just "watered down grossness."

Still, in college, because my main goal was to be kind of drunk, I usually stuck to $11 handles of Bourbon or Vodka, or huge cheap jugs of wine. Beer took too long...

Becks and Yanjing are my favourite beers.

Tell me about it... When I first started drinking, the list included Bud Light, Natural Light, Ice House, Pabst, Heineken, etc... None of which could be classified as anything close to tasty...
Blue Moon is the only decent, readily-available beer I've had...

I've yet to find a reliable source of bottled microbrew beers here in Arlington, but there is a bar that features a rotating lineup of all kinds of quality stuff on tap... And that's where you wanna be...
But you can't take the bar with you to private social gatherings!

As for hard liquor... I really can't stomach it in social situations...
Screwdrivers maybe...
But I'm slowly working my way through different varieties on a rare, stay-at-home-not-looking-to-get-wasted basis... Currently a bottle of Elijah Craig 12-year Bourbon occupies a slot on my DVD shelf...
It isssss... interesting...

I sure hope not...

St. Louis does not need this.

Your taste of beer can also change over the years. Six years ago I liked Grolsch (I don't think you have it there), it's a bit more expensive pint. Now I prefer a cheap brand, or one which is a bit more tasty and less bitter.

Heineken is decent. :) Do you have any other Dutch beers?

We have Grolsch here , bunch of other stuff too. So many.....

Grolsch is tasty and the sealing machanism is both ingenious and fun.

You mean this mechanism?



Yeah it's nice. Really nice for when you're making beer yourself.

Didn't know you had Grolsch. How about Amstel? Bavaria? Alfa? I don't really like those. One of my favorites is Hertog Jan.
