I'm going to buy beer. What beer should I get?

[maveric]

Poll question: I'm going to buy beer. What beer should I get?

[anarch]

1. Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!

Actually, I'll go ahead and recommend some Samuel Smith...but it depends how much filthy lucre you have, and what you're in the mood for.

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. If you're talking about the Samuel Smith lager, it's good stuff...

Definitely preferable to Heineken, IMO.

[anarch]

10. I like the pale ale and a couple of the stouts, too

depending on my mood. That stuff is all pretty expensive, though.

[Twillig]

2. There's such a thing as "Firestone ale?"

Huh.

Is there--


A Goodyear Lager?

A Pirelli Pils?

5. Schell's makes a Firebrick beer

Edit: Here is Firestone Ale

7. Looks delicious.

I stick to the local products here in Oregon. Deschutes, http://www.bridgeportbrew.com/bp-brewery.html">Bridgeport or Rogue

[CatholicEdHead]

3. If you were anywhere close to Wisconsin I would say Spotted Cow

but you cannot get that outside of Wisconsin.

[htuttle]

9. Just had some of that a few week ago

Spotted Cow is a darned good ale, but a bit light for my tastes.

I still prefer Guinness Extra Stout (especially with a shot of John Jameson's finest uisce beatha on the side).

4. Sierra Nevada has a great IPA.

[driver8]

6. They sure do!! One of the best!! Just my opinion... n/t

[htuttle]

11. Just make sure you can't see any light through it

If you can find Capital Brewery's Nosferatu (probably WI region only), Founders Imperial Stout (MI), or Founder's Breakfast Stout (MI), I guarantee it will be worth your while (and your money). Just don't bother to eat dinner first -- the stouts will fill you up enough. :beer:

But of the choices you have listed, I have to recommend the Guinness.

[CatholicEdHead]

12. I will look for Nosferatu tomorrow

The store I go to does stock some Capital Brewery beer.

13. XX Bitter

Nice and hoppy! :9

[tibbir]

14. Actually, Bud Light

[patsimae]

15. I have to agree

Nothing like a nice cold Bud Lite. In a bottle.

[htuttle]

17. FECK! ARSE! PISSWATER!!

[XemaSab]

16. Either go with Chico's finest (Sierra Nevada)

or Lost Coast's Downtown Brown.

Or anything from the Mendocino Brewing Company.

What can I say? I like the local stuff! :D

[non sociopath skin]

18. Oh, Sam Adams for sure. Or Pete's Wicked Ale if you can get it.

The thought of them makes me almost willing to brave four hours in line at a US airport for interrogation by the Neocon KGB (aka Homeland Security) again ... but not quite ...:mad:

19. Your list has Dos Equis, but not Corona.

I heartily approve! ;)

[Guava Jelly]

20. budwieser donates heavily to republicans

so avoid it when possible

[patsimae]

22. Oh crap

I mostly drink wine anyway but when I'm in the mood for a beer it really hits the spot.

[tyedyeto]

21. Fat Tire, if you enjoy reds

[Capn Sunshine]

27. I second that

best beer out there at the moment.

[Roon]

28. Here! Here!!

When I am looking for something special to drink, I turn to Fat Tire!

[bigwillq]

23. Heineken is my fave

so that would be my choice! :beer:

[Xipe Totec]

24. Labatt Blue, in the 24 Oz cans

Good, no nonsense Canadian beer. At a buck fifty a can, you can't beat it.

And I see that I missed that choice in the poll, so I went for 'other'.

Shows what two cans of the brain will do to your stuff.

[speedoo]

25. I've been enjoying Corona a lot recently.

I may have to move to Mexico. It's gotta be cheaper there.

[politicat]

26. Moose Drool! Moose Drool! Moose Drool!

Big Sky Brewery's Brown Ale.

[Blue Belle]

29. Bridgeport IPA

If I were going to buy beer tonight, that's the one I would choose. :)

[Cobalt Violet]

30. Root or Birch Beer.

And it's better for the liver.
