For some reason I don’t like Guinness very much out of the bottle either…but I do believe that is a slightly different Guinness (Extra Stout).
Boddington’s is badass. :-D Do a half and half with Guinness…it’s great.
After gaining back the 20 pounds I lost last year, I have had to give up my beloved Newcastle in exchange for lower calorie brews…
Becks Light is the lowest calorie beer I can find, 67 calories per bottle… but you might as well drink water (it is the most bland beer I have ever tasted).
I settled instead on Sam Adams Light… removing about 1/3 of the calories that I drink…
Not a bad brew. And damn fine for a light beer!

Agreed, if you like to actually taste beer, then Sam Light is a great choice
I think it is funny they call Sam Adam Light a light beer. I would have laughed if I hadn’t already known I was drinking light beer. Tasty stuff.
My new roomie is very fond of Newcastle, so it’s growing on me again. But I turned her on to Delirium Tremens last night, so it’s all good. :)
Beer can be a four letter word, too
ask a guy the morning after
Well, yeah, if you ask him before he’s had his Bloody Beer!
@Der:
How bout’ Boddington’s from Engand. The beer with the shakers in the can.
Great stuff, but you have to sell your left nut to be able to afford it.
True, its about $1.50 a can here

Please tell me that Delirium Tremens is also the name of a Drink/Band/video game/tv show . . . otherwise she needs to be in a hospital (or at least loaded up with valium and thiamine).
And are you non-Canadians still talking about beer? That’s kind of like a group of Cubans discussing optimizing one’s stock portfolio, no?

That’s steep, but still cheaper than here.
I try to keep it to a dollar a beer, unless its a barley-wine style like Serria Nevada Big Foot…

Ouch!

Sometimes words hurt Tim…
Wait…
The folks who’s claims to fame are Heineken and Moosehead are busting OUR chops on discussing beer :?

It’s probably the best tasting beer (and maybe the worst named) I’ve ever had.

Heineken is Canadian now? And Moosehead ain’t bad at all…
That is an unusual name for a beer to say the least, and last I knew Heineken was Dutch. Not a big fan of Moosehead, but I’ve had worse.
I think we used to steal Moosehead from the corner store when we were like 15. The guy never chased us probably because he could’nt sell the stuff anyway. A long time ago it was, but I remember we liked it. But we also drank O.E. 1800, so what did we know.
Sorry, I meant Labatts.
:roll:
The only “blue” beer I drink is PBR baby, Red Neck, White socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer!
OE in a brown bag brings back memories. :lol:
