Let’s not get crazy. Nobody should ever drink a Coors Light for any reason.
Do you know why Coors Light is better than Coors?
Because there’s less of it?
Because if you have to drink piss, you want it watered down as much as possible.
LOL
Yep, and my beer is usually always the one that’s full.
IMO Stella is on a whole different level than Heineken.
Better or worse?
ETA: Serious question. While I’ve never had them side-by-side (and side-by-side comparisons do yield surprising results sometimes), I consider them about equal in terms of quality, and I’ve had Stella in Leuven. Of course, the one or two times I was in Belgium was before I discovered the magical myriad of styles of Belgian beer. :smack:
Stone makes SEVERAL world class IPA’s… their current Cali-Belgique IPA is quite tastey though IMHO it does not drink like an IPA.
The OP is like asking "who is THE most beautiful person in the world;As has already been stated, there is NO definitive answer.
I enjoy many of the aforementioned selections, and also despise a few too. Boddington’s and Smithwicks are both considered “world class” yet they are not my “cup of tea”. I’m a HopHead! That being said I also get a taste for a good Stout/Imperial Stout on occasion. There are also times when only a pale lager will do the trick.
I second Bell’s HopSlam…this year was especially tasty. I also came to note Torpedo by Sierra Nevada and Shift (pale lager) from New Belgium.
Life is too short to drink bad beer!
ymmv
The best beer in the world is whichever one I can currently afford. Recently it has been Natty Ice. 
If I had the money to chose from a wider range, though, I have had a fondness for New Glarus Coffee Stout (a seasonal beer), Schells Blonde Dopplebock from New Ulm, Minnesota (I don’t even know if they brew this anymore, but it was also seasonal.), and Guiness Stout pulled from a tap in London - (because I never had the opportunity to taste it in Dublin).
30 years ago, I had the single best beer I ever tasted. I had been on a semester in England and had become used to warm beer, even though I am American and grew up on cold beer. After the Semester, we toured Europe. The first stop was Paris. We got in late the first night and my friends and I went for a walk. Our Hostel was “non-drinking” and located across the road from an insane asylum. After walking 4 blocks, the first place that looked friendly was a “patisserie”. We had no idea what that was, but decided to check it out.
They had beer on tap. Cool! I raised my index finger and said: “un beir sil voux plait”. The server/bartender/barrista/whatever gave me two ice cold Stella Artois.
After drinking warm beer for 4+ months, I was in heaven. Stella is the single best beer I ever tasted.
As for ordering one beer and getting two - I was told later that many people in Paris start counting with their thumbs. I don’t know if this is true. I just know that I would have been happy to pay for one cold beer at the price I paid for two!
You’re entitled to your opinion but I’m not getting ‘a whole different level’. I mean - they’re obviously different chemical compounds and all, they’re not identical, but that said, they’re both pretty much inoffensive middle of the road mainstream lagers marketed to and enjoyed by giant audiences. After 80 posts of people extolling the virtues of beers with a lot of strong tastes while bashing mainstream beers such as Heineken, I think you’re barking up the wrong tree asking about “Stella love”.
Actually, there’s a pretty good listing of middle-of-the-road beers in this thread. Maybe not all mainstream lagers a la Bud, but it’s not all hop-heavy or malt-heavy or funky Belgians in here, either. I mean we got Shiner Bock, Carslberg, Pilsner Urquell, Budvar, Yuengling, Sam Adams, Anchor Steam, and Scrimshaw Pilsner all on the first page. They might not be macro lagers, but they’re pretty much all beers that are safe to bring to a party for macrolager beer drinkers. MAYBEEE Shiner Bock is the odd duck there, but all those are inoffensive, middle-of-the-road beers.
The most profound beer drinking experience I have had was miller lite. Four of us were out mountain bike riding and after about 3 hours we were returning to the car. Two guys in a two wheel drive small pickup had gotten the truck stuck in the ditch beside the road. There were in luck because it turns out that four college guys can push/lift a small pickup out of a ditch and we were in luck because they had a cooler full of beer and ice. So we each got a couple of really cold beers at the end of a hot dusty ride. That was over 20 years ago and I still remember just how damn good those beers were.
Of late I am really getting tired of way over hopped IPAs I remember liking IPAs about 15 or 20 years ago but now they are pretty much undrinkable to me. People talk about the Stone beers as really good but I find them way over hopped.
My favorite beer of late is Alesmith X. I am not sure how available it is outside of Southern California but last year the papers had articles about how they secured funding for an expansion so maybe it can be found elsewhere.
If I have to pick just one, this is the one.
No, La Fin Du Monde
True!
Guinness is really a unique beer. As you said there are a lot of beers to choose from, it’s just a matter of personal preference 
My GF and I stayed at The Bull (home of the Coniston Brewery) in Coniston for a few days a couple years ago. They had their full range of beers on including the current Champion Beer of Britain, No. 9 Barley Wine.
There’s a naming convention that American brewers have started using that really gets on my tits - using the word “Imperial” for anything that’s just really strong, as in Imperial IPA. The word “Imperial” was first applied to stouts and porters brewed specifically for export to the Russian Imperial Court. I’ve moaned about this here before, and I know it’s a losing battle, but to me the word “Imperial” should ONLY be applied to stouts and porters.
Applause.
On the Coniston and Bluebird theme, that would either be the perfect or worst tipple to have whilst watching this recent BBC program on the life of Donald Campbell (link here only for UK dopers)
No doubt, I when I drank a bottle of it in Amsterdam I was quite surprised that it didn’t make me gag. But I picked one out because I like to drink the local brew wherever I go. I thought that maybe my taste buds were off due to the “coffee” I had earlier; but now I see that many other people noticed this too. Tried it again when I got back to the state and it went back to be a beer that taste like ass to me (and not a nice ass at that).
Well considering (and yes I know what this will do to my credibility :D) I also enjoy Michelob Ultra when low carbing, I am probably out of my element in these discussions.
I abdicate and will lurk this thread henceforth
