A Different Kind of Asshole
Colt 45 and Olde English 800. Yes, I'm deeply ashamed of myself but I can only drink alcohol if it is sweetened.

A Different Kind of Asshole
I've never been able to acquire the taste for beer. I've tried dozens of different kinds. I don't think I've made it through a full beer. I have tried many times but never got past about 3 quarters of a beer before I poor out the rest.
The taste is so appalling, Even the smell makes me nauseous.

For me, Coconut Porter by the Maui Brewing Company tops the list. A few local microbrews follow close behind.
If I had to choose from a mass produced, I am diggin' the Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and Sam Adams Cream Stout.

official beer of the NHL!!
My favourite beer eh? Well, I can't choose. There's so many delicious ones out there. I try to try new ones all the time. One brewery in particular I'm interested in is the Howe Sound brewery. They make a very nice nut brown ale. Also really like their IPA and Bitter.
Going back to the lager argument... yes, I'm a prick, I know... you're all idiots. Why did no one bring up the ingredients in lagers and ales?
What Tachyon drinks is ale, beer brewed with top-fermenting yeast. Lager is brewed with yeast that ferments at the bottom. Aside from a few other ingredient changes--different types of barley used, different hops--there's no difference between making the "different" drinks. Saying lager is not beer is like saying that red wine is not wine because it uses a different kind of grape than white wine.
And this is actually the first time I've heard ale referred to as beer and not lager. I've heard the reverse before. An old New Yorker article from the late 40s describes a bar as having two kinds of Montreal beer and one Montreal ale.
Anyway, registering on the Budweiser thing, I actually don't mind Bud, but that may have something to do with that I rarely have it sober. In fact, I'm positive it has to do with the fact I rarely have it sober.

Back in the days when I was a drinker, I would have told you that Warsteiner Premium Dunkel was a beverage that came from the heavens above, and tasted like beer should be made in no other way.
Now that those days are behind me, however, I just grab a bottle of Kaliber once in a while. O'Doul's Amber isn't half-bad, either.

I only tend to drink guiness on St Paddys Day.
Truth be told though, I don't drink anymore, at least not unless it's a special occasion like a Birthday or wedding.
I used to go out drinking 4 nights a week and get legless, ah the good old days.
Me too! I don't drink unless it's a special occasion like a weekday or a weekend.
One of my favourites is Credit Amber Ale which is a little microbrew sold just down the street from my buddy's place in Missisauga.
As for more mass-market fare, I like Steamwhistle and Moosehead.
The draft award goes to Rickard's Red.
And when money is an object (which is more often than not) I go with Molson Export.

Tried a pint of this last night, and it was fine beer. Some of the smoothest and best I've had.
