Beer, whats yours?

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I think I've tried about all of them at one time or another. I figure Schlitz is one the worst; tastes bad and had a bad effect, on me at least. The guy who named it had a lisp, Schlitz is not what he was trying to say. Corona beer from Mexico is, to me, the worst tasting beer, but has become very popular in this area. I used to be a Bud drinker for many years. I wish I could remember the name of the large mouth bottles of cheap beer I bought when I spent the school year of 1971-72 at Northwestern University just north of Chicago. On one trip to Alaska, I noticed some posted prices for a "case" of beer that didn't look much more than Dallas prices, so I asked for a case, and that's when I learned that a Canadian "case" was 12 while our case was 24. Soo I got 2 cases and asked the guy to just mix up the different brands. So I had several brands of beer and a couple brands of Ale, and they all tasted about the same to me.

But that's all long ago in the past. Now the only beer I've bought for several years is a Texas beer; Shiner bock in the long neck bottles, and the only time I drink one is when I get hot mowing the yard and sit down on patio and have one. So a 12 pack will last more than a year.:laughing:

Shiner Bock is awesome beer.

lol,

I've found that on the occasion that I drink a few (4 or 5) beers of a different brand, bad things happen the next day, like a hangover or worse. I try to avoid that if possible.

After I stopped smoking,I didn't feel near as bad the following day. Do you smoke or is it possible second hand smoke is responsible for your day after problem?

Aaahaa, We have a winner. Blatz was never seen down here, but that's what I drank for the 9 month school year at Northwestern University.

 

[MossRoad]

Blatz was a very good lighter beer.

Some Blatz advertising trivia, too. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread...

For me it depends on the time of year and temperature. I'm not much of a drinker but like a beer on occasion. If it's hot then I like something on the lighter side. I find if I've been doing yard work and I'm boiling, a Corona or Dos Equis really hits the spot.

In winter, or when it's cooler, I like the darker heavier beers. I've always been a fan of trying new beers and supporting the little guys so if I'm traveling then I'll try the local micro brews and have found many different ones that I've liked. Lots of good talent out there in the micro brews
