I was wondering if anyone was going to say "Miller Lite". Taste great less filling. I admire you guys wqho drink Adams and all the rest of the beers that have come out in the last 20 years, my stomach can't take them not stand them. |

Miller Lite is pretty good and it's refreshing. I can drink Lite or Bud when doing stuff around the house or yard and neither fill me up if I have a few. I like Bud but refuse to drink Bud Light and I like Lite but can't stand regular Miller or Genuine draft.
If I'm out at a restaurant or bar and don't plan on drinking more than a couple, I would rather go with something more filling and with more flavor. |

PBR gets a bad rap and they sell 'em for a $1 at the avenue in Brighton on Sat. Night. Rolling Rock is pretty bad, my old roomate used
And I was basically raised on that schlitz, not that I will touch that stuff anymore. And yes, icehouse is still made, far more common in the south though.

Raven, There are actually a Lot of good beers on the market. The Micro brew revolution really got brewing good beer into the mainstream.
30 years ago you had pilsners....as far as the eye could see, and that was about it. ocassional Guinness would pop up.
Good beer back then was St. Pauli Girl or Heineken.
Now you can go in a liqour store or "Packy" and get Porters, Stouts, Ales, Lagers, Heffewiezens, IPA's, ESB's, Belgian Abby Ales, Barley Wines. The list goes on and on. Beers with Fruit (Raspberry Wheat, Strawberry Blonde), Beers with Chocolate (Chocolate Stouts) , Beers with Honey (Honey Wheat), Beers with Maple Syrup (Maple Porters), beers with Vegetables (Pumpkin Ales, Chili Pilsner ).
There is a smorgasboard of good and great beers out there now.
You want a taste treat for fall...have a Black and Tan made with Guiness and Post Road (or any other) Pumpkin Ale....  |

I don't like pumpkin flavored anything, but a friend got me to try a pumpkin ale at a local place with a huge beer selection last year. I really liked it, especially the cinamon flavor. It's perfect for this time of year. In fact, I'm going to meet the same friend tomorrow and I'll probably have a couple.
On a side note, the place where I usually go does a thing called "beer flights". It's a take off on wine flights, which apparently are pretty popular with the wine crowd.
You get four small glasses, each with 4 ounces of a different beer in it. You get to try a total of 36 beers over the course of time. They have everything from seasonals, largers, pilsners, bocks, Japanese beers, etc.. This is something to be done in multiple sittings for obvious reasons, but it's a great way to try different types of beer. The good looking bartenders at this place don't hurt either.  |

Boy Salty...you brought back a lot of hazy memories with those 2! First in our dorm to sneak a beer ball in (Catholic college....yeah right!) Then we "procured" a water fire extinguisher...emptied it, filled with Heffenreffer (green death) pumped it up and brought a new meaning to "Keg Stand"!!! Ahhh the memories of a .9 gpa freshman year! |

Haffenreffer was the beer that gave you the best bang for the buck
Your buzz never seemed to go away when you were drinking those...stayed with you for hours.
Bad choice if your planning on sneaking past the parents that night.....Got me nailed in high school

DAMN straight Kev. I can remember many a night with a 6pack of them nice fat green bottles. I wish I was still that young. 4 Haffenreffers and chase it with a 5th of Southern Comfort. I thought my name was RALPH a few times after that just stone drunk 
The matz beer balls were the best. We always got a few of them for the dorm at Wentworth. Man did we have some wild times. We'd go hunting down all the Simmons chicks

Molson, Heiniken, Becks, Grolsh = crap, watery beer to me, no better than bud
Bass is good, but there are a hell of alot of better options out there
Its all personal taste.
In the end, if I'm trying to market Bud Light, drinkability is probably the best thing i can come up with. They know that noone is looking forward to that pint of BL at the end of the day - BL's target market is looking forward to that 6 or 12 pack of BL at the end of the day.
Light beers in general are kind of a scam to begin with (and fighting over who has the lowest carbs is even more of a joke - alcohol has a worse effect on weight gain than a few carbs). Drink alot of beer (light or heavy) and your going to end up fat and unhealthy - I know that from experience. Have a beer here and there, weather heavy or light, and its actually good for you.

You're absolutely right as far as personal preference being the deciding factor but IMHO the last word I would use to discribe Molson, Heiniken, Becks or Grolsh would be watery  |

I love the beer and yard work stuff. Looking forward to that part of being a home owner.
I think my yard work beers are going to be Harpoon IPA and Sam Adams.
What are you supposed to drink when you shovel? I'm thinking Guiness.

Geez Kev, that brings back memories. "Green Death" as we called it. Remember the puzzles under the cap? I could only get them after having a few. Anybody remember Knickerbocker? Best cheap beers I remember were PBRs and Piels ($6 a case at Pease AFB when I was at UNH in mid 80s). That's $0.25 per beer. WOW
Of course, now I prefer Siera Nevade Pale Ale or similar. A 6-pack is plenty of that stuff vs 12 to 24 of the light american lagers. |

Right now, I'm wrapping myself around a coupla Sam Adams Boston Ales. Damn those guys are good! Their Octoberfest is a work of art. Bud has "Drinkability"? Not any more.

The Boston lager seems to get all the attention the Boston Ale is definitely my favorite from Sam Adams.
As for Budweiser, it's certainly not my first choice, but I've found it's really temperature sensitive. Somehow they're a lot better when they've been on ice for a while versus coming out of a fridge. Those 5 to 7 degrees seem to really make a difference. Or maybe it's just something I've tricked myself into believing... |

Some brewpubs do these beer dinners where you pay something like $35 a person and get a 4 course meal where each cours is paired with a pint that goes with it. Not a bad deal for $35-$40
Where's the place you usually go?

That sounds good. I'll have the mac n' cheese kids meal with a Magic Hat #9.
I usually go to the Stoneforge Grill in Easton. They also have locations in Raynham, Plymouth and Foxboro. Very good food and 36 beers on tap, along with about 50 different bottles. |

I used to shovel with a flask of Southern Comfort in the coat pocket. Now, I have my driveway plowed and only have to shovel the walkway, so not much of a reason to drink.
This is really gonna make me sound like a Nancy boy, but I love Peppermint Schnapps in hot cocoa or Godiva White Chocolate liquor in my coffee when I'm outside playing in the snow with my son.
