The Beer (and other elixirs) Thread

I thought having a thread deadicated to Beer (and beer related stories) would be a good idea. 

enough said.


I LOVE BEER, and that's an understatment. I don't drink as much (or as often) as I used to, I don't drink to get drunk (that's just  a happy coincidence), I never drink (more than a couple of beers) and drive, however I rarely pass an opportunity to have a cold one. I like all kinds of beers, but my favorites are the dark ones, bitter and with a strong taste.

I would like to know about the good beers of your side of the world, which are your favorites and whatever stories you'd like to share.

I won't even try to make a rank because that'd be impossible and probably would lead me to madness, but I'll mention some of the ones I like the most

Victoria (Mexican)
Choppe (Mexican
Bohemia(Mexican)
Negra Modelo (Mexican)
Cucapah Obscura (Mexican micro brewery)
Lowenbrau (German)
Heineken (Netherland)
Steel Reserve 211 (USA)
Bavaria (Netherland)
Foster's (Australia or England; depends how you see it)
Samuel Adams Imperial Stout (USA) I've tried it twice it was great but a bit overwhelming

I've drinking different varieties of Angry Orchard hard ciders.

Angry Orchard is awesome.  Arguably one of, if not the, best hard cider companies out there.  Their summer Cider is fantastic.

I concur. Angry Orchard is amazing.

Just had a Spanish Beer known as a Daura Marzen.  I found it very good.  Rather malty, but good.

The Green Apple Angry Orchard is my favorite.

I can't believe I am going to say this, but I have tried Coors Light for the first time...

And I actually like it a lot.  It and Yeungling Light are the only light beers I can actually say that I enjoy for taste.

Coors light has barely any more flavor than carbonated water.

That may be so, but it is less foamy and sudsy tasting then Bud Light.  Most of the time when I have something from AB-InBev, outside of Blue Moon, it has a sudsy aftertaste which is gross. And I usually avoid light beer like the plague and go straight for Guinness or Murphy's (or something similar), but considering how I am packing on some poundage as of late and am not willing to drop beer entirely for a while, I am stuck in light beer hell.  So if I am going to go for a light beer, might as well be the one that is the least offensive.  For me, that somehow managed to be Coors Light.

I am not saying it's my first choice Mikey.  It is not even among my top choices.  Hell, I would choose malt liquor over light beer any day of the week (except for Four Loko, that **** is gross) . But if I were stuck on an island in the middle of the Pacific with no chance of getting help and I had nothing to drink outside of light beer and the ocean water, I am going to gladly drink the light beer.
