Re: Beer!!!

There was a time when all I would drink was "green bottle, skunky, Canadian" beer. My favorites back in the day were Molson Golden and Moosehead. Then I went through a phase where all I would drink was "mexican" based, Corona with lime. A friend of mine is a brew master, so I have also had my share of exotic, homemade concoctions.

Nowadays I keep it simple and I dont drink to impress anyone, I just drink for the pure enjoyment. I have acquired a taste for good old American made, Bud Select. When given a choice of any beer available, I keep going back to the "King of beers", Budweiser. :drinkers:

Don't you mean Magners ;)

I've found a nice beer recently "Hoegaarden" white beer. It tastes like medicine at first then after 1/2 way through it's beautifull. It's €5 a pint though.

No problem, I'll bring a few pint bottles for you :)

Magners is Bulmers btw. Only in Ireland it's called Bulmers, there was some copyright issues when using the Bulmers name outside Ireland.

So, what you're telling me is I should have been looking for Magners the whole time, and not Bulmers? Maybe I can find it stateside...go ahead and bring a few pints just in case :)

@ Darkstar

I have an Arrogant Bastard shirt (your avatar) that says "Fizzy yellow beer is for wussies" or something like that. I haven't worn it in a while and I cracked up when I saw it. Ironically, usually when I drink beer I drink Bud Light, Corona, Heineken, etc. :drinkers:

I am only a casual beer drinker myself, but if I had to choose one, it would most likely be a Coors Light or a Labatt Blue :)
