I know what you mean, I'm one of those whackos that actually like Budweiser....call me crazy but to me it tastes like "beer". I like a good mico brew everyone once in a while, but after a long week of working sometimes I just want to knock back a bunch, and for that Molson, Bud, and LaBatt are my go to. Miller when I'm poor - which is often now adays.

Best: Bud Ice (I like this beer a lot for some unknown reason, maybe it has something to do with the penguin)

Best for drinking lots and lots: Bud Light or Michelob Ultra

Worst: Schaeffer's, Rhinelander, A lot of Micro brews because they all seem to have a terrible aftertaste, and I am required by local law to say any Miller product.


Beers people haven't tried possibly: Ray Hill's-the brewers were giving free samples at Mike Shannon's before a Cardinal game and I thought it was pretty damn good.

If you really want to support Ireland, get a half and half - Harp and Guinness - none of that English crap on their holiday!

I brought up Half-and-Halfs on the first page of this thread -- glad they resurfaced... so good.

Actually I did mean half and half after reading the post about the difference between a half and half and black and tan, I guess I had them backwards because I do go with Guiness and Harp's

Lived in Saint Louis for a couple years, very heavy Bud product oriented. One of my neighbors who worked in marketing at AB would not let us order anything but when we went out, I hate being held hostage. The only place I've ever been that sells beer at Little League baseball games.

Wanna confuse your bartender? Order one of these variations and watch his head spin:

Half and half - Stout and lager (especially Harp Lager)

Black and White - Stout with any light colored beer.

Black and Blue - Stout with Blue Moon Belgian White, or stout and blueberry ale, Guinness and Pabst Blue Ribbon, Guinness and Labatt Blue. Typically, this refers to any variation of stout coupled with blueberry-flavored ales or brands with the name "Blue" in them.

Black & Sam - Guinness stout and Sam Adam's Boston Lager (also called a Patriot Pint or Boston Half & Half)

Black and Orange - Stout and pumpkin ale (Also known as a "Black & Blumpkin", or a "Black-O-Blumpkin")

Black Sap - Stout and Sapporo

All Irish Black & Tan a.k.a. Pint of Special a.k.a Blacksmith - Guinness Stout and Smithwick's Irish Ale

Pint of Special - Similar to the all Irish Black and Tan served mostly in the west of Ireland. Made with more than 75% Smithwick's topped up with a Guinness head

Garnet and Black - Guinness and Killian's Irish Red. This is a regional variation in South Carolina, named after the school colors of the University of South Carolina.

Old Dirty Englishman - Half Guinness and half Tetley's

Sweet Black and Tan - Sweetheart Stout and any light ale (e.g., 70 or 80 shilling)

Philadelphia Black & Tan - Half Guinness Stout and half Yuengling Lager

Black & Gold - Half Guinness Stout and half hard cider (e.g., Westons or Woodchuck). Sometimes referred to as a Snakebite. When made specifically with Woodchuck Cider it is also called a Stout Woody

Black Christmas (or Kwanzaa) - Guinness draught over Christmas Ale.

Black & Red - Half chocolate stout over half raspberry or cherry lambic

Black & Red - Half Guinness and half Red Stripe

Black Hoe - Half Guinness and half Hoegaarden.

Thistle & Shamrock - Beamish & McEwan’s

Irish American - Half Guinness and half Budweiser.

Irish Canadian - Half Guinness and half Molson Canadian

Black Castle - Half Guinness and half Newcastle Brown Ale.

San Patricios - Half Guinness and half any Mexican beer (Corona, Pacifico, Dos Equis, Negro Modelo)

Black Tire - Half Guinness and half New Belgium Fat Tire

I know they're all the rage right now (out west especially), but I really don't like New Belgium beers. Fat Tire especially. Something I just don't get - its half-way between an American style beer and a Belgian beer, and 100% not good. Taste like someone was trying to brew a Belgian, gave up, and then stirred it with a branch.

Couple points:
1) not only does my brother work for them, but so did my grandfather, uncle, great aunt, and my cousin even worked in the gift shop for a summer. My brother is the same way about not wanting people to order non-AB (though he isnt militant about it), but since they make such good beer it is not a problem (and they have a hand in more beers than people realize such as Carona, Bass, Grolsch, and many others)
2) Of course we sell beer at little league games, how else is a parent going to get the courage to curse out a 16 year old umpire

The only ones I saw missing was a snakebite (guiness and woochuck cider (or any hard cider I guess)) and a belgian waffle (guiness and Blue Moon)

I've tried it a few years ago, was available at the "Beer Store" in Ontario.............don't know if they still carry it. Can't remember what is was like.

How could I forget Rhinelander...that stuff is gawdawful. I think a 12 pack of bottles was like $4 something when I was in college. Tried it once and decided just to spend the extra dough and get something halfway decent.

Buddy of mine from England said Stella is a great one... Anyone had this? Anything you could compare it to?

As a parent I had to work an evening in the beer stand, $1.20 20 ounce drafts, $3.50 a pitcher, had to kick the parents out late on a Friday night, they would have stayed until dawn!!

Stella is much better in Europe than in bottles in North America.

As it is pretty much in any European country. Especially Germany, with their purity laws prohibiting many of the preservatives used in exported beer.

Instead of starting "The Chicken Wing Thread"........I thought I would build on this thread, as a way a finding out which foods, you like to eat along with drinking beer.

So you had to kick yourself out? That's hardcore my friend.


- Sabrefan44

The real kick is they don't let you drink until everyone is gone, so this was out of necessity!

I may have to leave work right now and get a beer and some wings. I frickin dying here.
