steel city or steel something from pittsburg was the worst followed closely by macensens XXX and the origional breckinridge ips(the 471 small batch they make now is my fav ipa but god was their origional recipie awful).

look, pal, yer talkin' to a hamsterhead who used to judge the quality of beer by how much it cost per can (or quart or 40-pounder, whatever was de rigeur for the day).

or mad dog or colt 45 or mickeys..........ahhh highschool and mickeys mondays.[8|]

Gotta love the Mickey's Big Mouth Stingers.

Vietnamese used to (maybe they still do) whip up some washtub swill we called "Colt 45" and sell it to us when we couldn't get the real stuff (which wasn't very often). "Colt 45 numbah 10" we used to tell 'em. "Budweiser numbah 1."

[bobogoboom]

we still drink mickeys from time to time when the mood hits.

Bobo, I would think a Texas man like you would be a fan of Lone Star. 6th street in Austin didn't have tap water, just Lone Star[:D].

yeah but i disowned lone star once they stopped brewing it in texas. my dad used to work at the perl brewery in san antonio where they brewed lone star and pearl. now it's brewed in new york or somewhere like that. now austin just replaced lone star with shiner bock.

[anarchyintheuk]

Lone Star and Pearl are kinda repulsive. Shiner is pretty much your last hope in Texas.

[thegreatwent]

Ach, Lone Star brewed in NY! That is soooo not right. Of course the last time I had one on 6th street Stevie Ray Vaughan was still doing shows there.[8|]

Britains and americans talking about beer is like the chinese talking about democracy and human rights  [:D]

Mea Culpa. Like the old Monty Python skit asks "How is American beer like making love in a canoe? They are both F*%&#*^@ close to water!"

BTW many American Macro brews were created by German immigrants. [:D]

[m10bob]

True beer is made of of four ingredients.
1.Malt
2.Barley
3.Hops
4.Water


If your brew has anything else, it is no longer "beer".
Bud has rice and all kinds of cheap cereal grains.


Sorry, Michelob is worse.

And now you know the reason why the were expulsed [:D] No,honestly, I believe that the beer culture in the USA is the same as in germany, when it comes down to the small breweries. And after all, it is all a question about personal taste.

@bobogoboom Of course we have, Becks e.g. or some very cheap beers like Sternburger (20 Bottle of half a liter for 5 €= 3 Dollars about), a headache is programmed for the next day, even if you drink only one of it.
Guess I have no problems drinking stout or a very dark and heavy beer at over 100 degrees (have to calculate what it is in Celsius, but sounds a bit warmer than 30 degrees Cel.) I have a problem drinking those beers at all, I come from northern germany (Anglia the region is called, or Angeln in german) and we do only drink Pilsner. Ok, we drink high percentage clear stuff too, but only at breakfast So you can hunt me down with all these southern german beers. The only other good beers come from Budweiser or Pilsner, the Czechs know how to brew beer too .


Btw, wasn`t the Quote : What have sex on the beach and american beer have in common?

So true... sorry guys... but I remember being once with my Dad on a ship (he's an 2nd engineer) and when in Duluth some dock workers came and wanted to exhxnage 3 crates of some sort of American beer for a one crate of Polish one and well it did not work out [:D] German beer, Polish beer, Czech beer, Netherland's beer, Finnish beer whatsoever we say NO!

Whisky, Tequila! Uno accidente! [:D]

Most of the German beers I enjoyed were from the south while I was in Bavaria. When I went somewhat north to Koln I found mostly wines and ciders. Someday I hope to get to Hamburg and enjoy some of the seafood and wines served there. Additionally I would like to visit the maritime museum there.

As said above , for me it is Flensburger, but there are others, mostly known is Holsten, but you also have Astra (not good) and Ditmarscher and many small brews. Of note is the brew made in Schleswig (near the old viking settlement Haithabu) called Asgaard (They say they are brewing it following the old viking art). It tastes sweet and the typical northern german beers taste herb. Best is alway, to visit a local pub with a brewerie, amybe more expensive, but it is worth it.
