One of the better light swiling style american lights. I brew beer,
and have for many years, have even taken classes, but I'm sure that
Harry knows much more about the subject than I.

----------------------------------

IMO, the best tasting American beer that came out of the microbrewery crowd
is Samuel Adams Lager. *Very similar to some of the good, German,
full-bodied beers. *Even the "light" version isn't bad, although it has more
calories than most other "regular" beers.

Second best American beer, although not originating from a microbrewery, is
"Amberboch", *an Anheuser-Busch product. *Not available everywhere, the
draft version is much better than the bottled.

Unfortunately, I finally hit the age where I can't drink either anymore.
Too heavy. *An occasional Coors Light is about all I can handle now.

When I drink a beer, I drink a Mexican beer. I just like the taste of
the Mexican brews. I also like Peroni and once in a while, a Heineken.- Hide quoted text -

Heineken is almost as bad as Miller light! Beeradvocate rates it a C-
whereas miller light is a D
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/81/246
Peroni gets a C, I like most people that like beer and know beer just
don't care for skunky tastes.

Mass produced Mexican beer is as thrilling as mass produced American
beer.

What does your site say about Pilsner Urquell, which was my favorite mass
produced beer while in Europe.

I like Urquell pretty well, personally. What can be bad about a beer
that hasn't changed since the 1400's! What is very cool about brewing
is that I can buy the very yeast that they've been propagating since
the beginning! The pros give it a B, which is very good, they are a
hard bunch to please!

What popped up at that site was Peroni Nastro Azzurro.

Try some of Redhook's offerings, really good beer!

My last beer was in Dec, '87.

I'm allergic to alcoholic.

I'm supposed to take seriously a bunch of anonymous guys who rate the
brewskis they drink? :} These guys aren't the Robert Mondavis of the
brew business, and I have no idea what you are, other than an
obstreperous a**hole.

Drink up.

Anonymous? Pimpp is no more anonymous than Loogypicker.
I thought my Hacker-Pschor Wiess Brau was as weird a name of beer

I wonder how consistent some of these off-the-wall brews are.

I sort of got a kick out of that beeradvocate.com site. * Just because they
like a particular beer does not mean you will like it.

Heck, I like MGD and Bud Light. * I could care less about what someone else
says about it as all that matters to me is my taste in beer.- Hide quoted text -

Yes, I thoroughly realize that you and Harry know more than anyone
about any given subject.

Anonymous?? Are you serious? Harry, I thought you knew everything
about anything! They are at the forefront of Zymurgy, for your
information. Zymurgy is just as much of an art and science as wine
making. Now how about the deal I tried to make to you? Why not quit
being whiny and man up? Or would you rather act like a little child
and call me some more names? I'm sure others here would like to see
your lobster boat also!

Well, they are consistent enough after the recipes are finalized. When
brewing, changing one little thing can change the taste entirely, even
a different type of yeast. But, Harry thinks it's all just throwing
stuff in a bathtub and getting beer.

I am afraid that if I discovered a decent tasting light beer, I'd end up
missing the Sams too much, slide back to it and gain all the weight that I
lost back. It's hard enough as it is. Nope. Gotta stay away from beer.
And food. And snacks. What a miserable way to live .....

I rarely drink, but when out and want a good beer with either Mexican food
or Pizza, I like Negro Modelo the best. Do not really care for most pale
ales. Years ago, use to get a headache from drinking even one Oly or
Miller. When in Sydney, Australia and having a Tooth's old (very good dark
beer) and old guy looked at the beer and said "Tooth's old, good beer."
Pointed at another table and said "Tooth's new, give you a headache".
Tooths new looked like most American beers. Pale color. Best microbrew I
ever had was the Haines, Alaska Brewery and their Porter.

I thought that was called "gin?", but I would think you'd have to ad
some "little Debbie" or "Lux" to get the suds.
