Beer!

I still need to try the irish red.

I bought a sixer of Black Lager again.

That will go great with my pot roast.

On our trip to Europe I had some Belgian Beer I liked and recently had Sam Adams Coastal Wheat that I really liked. I'm not a beer drinker per se, more of a social drinker at gatherings, so I'm trying to find things I can enjoy while at a party.

I drink stuff if I like the taste - the mainstreams just taste like water to me...

Guys, I've learnt that you can get Carlsberg Elephant Beer in America these days - It's a strong one, 7,2% ABV and comes in 33 cl bottles (I think that's what you Americans call "11,2 oz") - Pick up a six pack if you can, their about 7 dollars a' pack (at least that's what the american guy on youtube said) - Now, it's not my favourite (that honor goes to Albani's Giraffe!) danish beer, but it's still great, and way better than the piss you Americans usually drink - Hope the imported version stays true to the original!

When I used to live in Indiana, we had this really cool chain of liquor stores called Big Red Liquors. I knew that Lars & the boys used to drink Carlsberg Elephant Beer, so since I was a fan boy, I knew that it would have to be my new beer of choice (this goes back almost 20 years). This place had a really nice import selection, and wouldn't you know it, they carried the beer. I probably drank that stuff for a good couple years, before I moved onto something else.

I will agree with you as it pertains to the piss beer most Americans drink, that is unless you spend a few bucks on some really good micro brews. I'll pit many of those against what is produced around the world.

Yessss! It's here again!!!

I got Yuengling Black and Tan for the hurricane

I miss the old Black and Tan. Good stuff.

I knew Pumpkin Ale was due out soon but I'm psyched that I could pick up a sixer on my birthday.

Nothing like good beer at a great price! I paid 7.99 for my Pumpkin Ale but believe me, it's worth it!

Yep! Schlaflys is one of the most respected microbrewers in the area.

This stuff is so good that I decided to forego my plans to order a Sicilian style deep dish pizza for my birthday so I could afford the calorie intake of this beer.

Carlsberg Elephant is, in my experience, not too hard to come by in America (or, at least, Minnesota and Wisconsin). I think it's pretty good.

Had a glass of Paulaner's Salvator (doppel bock) tonight. That is up there as one of my favorite beers.

I was surprisd how good that "Shock Top" brand of beer is... I got a case for about $6 at Target once.

I've seen that but I've never tried it. Guess I need to check it out.

But that won't happen until Schlafly's Pumpkin Ale disappears again so don't hold your breath.

well it might disappear fast

Shlafly's Pumpkin Ale usually hangs around until a week after Halloween. I'll be stocking up on it again this year like I always do.

It's only available in Missouri and Illinois as far as I know.

we should do a beer exchange!

Drinking a lot of Hurricane's land Keystone Ice lately, when you're a poor college student it kind of hard to get the good stuff

I can relate to that. I drank some major swill back in the day including Red, White & Blue and the dreaded Kroger generic "BEER" in the yellow can.

Luckily since living in a college town, They have large quantities of the stuff for dirt cheap. I can get a 30 pack of the Ice for 11 bucks.
