I’ll join the masses by detesting HeinieCan. And Guiness, Give me a nice bottle of [Chimay](http://www.chimay.com/) any day. Or be patriotic and give me all three - red, white and blue 🙂 ---

Just keep the following away from me and we’ll be fine… Budweiser Michelob Coors Miller (any and all types) I’ll just be over here with my Seirra Nevada, thank you very much. ---

> [@](#): > > Coors Light is apparently for folks who don’t like beer. I _so_ agree with this. I’ll buy it if it’s cheap, but I get no enjoyment out of it. It’s got the consistancy of water and tastes like popcorn. Both the bst and worst part is you can guzzle it easily and not fill up, but you actually _have_ to guzzle it to get a buzz. ---

IANABC (Beer Connoisseur) However, Corona, Coors and Pilsner are among those on my nasty list. Choice #1: Brewsters Micro Brewery makes an excellent Honey Ale (Seasonal). Amazing. Choice #2: Sleeman’s Cream Ale. Yummy. ---

IMO! Nasty beers: Bass ale (I know, I know) Bud (or any of it’s variations except Michelob, a passable cheap beer) Coors (or any of it’s variations except Killians red, one of the better cheap macrobrews) Heineken green (the dark sits heavy in the stomach, but it is good) Any of the “trendy” cranberry-fruity seasonal things, when offered one my response is “no thanks I wanted beer” Petes wicked whatever (f\*%k Pete) Preferred beers: Schneider weisse original (wheat beer at it’s best) Grolsch unclviny ---

Sierra Nevada is on my worst list. But, I’d still drink it over the domestic Buds and Millers and Coors. Ick. ---

Guinness. What’s the deal? How the hell did Guinness get to be the best selling (in some places, only) stout on earth? There are about 5 stouts better that I can name, just off the top of my head! It’s not a bad beer, per se. But it’s so flavorless and boring. Bah! I can’t drink porters or doppelbocks, either. I’m more of a hophead than a malt person, I guess. Too sweet, and not in a good way. It’s that cough syrupy sweetness that you get from the malt that bothers me. Give me a Victory Hopdevil, Harpoon IPA, Ipswich Ale, or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale any day of the week. And Victory’s Prima Pils is a spectacular lager. ---

Molson just tastes so bad. I think of it as a beer teens drink just to get drunk. ---

Miller Lite. Gah! All through college it was popular and would infest keg parties. I like High Life just fine but that Lite crap isn’t fit for man nor breast. Steinlager, Guiness, Chimay and Alaskan Amber? Now you’re talking! ---

Oddly enough, Negra Modelo means “brand of dark beer”. ---

So far, the only beer I _couldn’t_ drink is a batch of homebrew ESB that went bad. I’d still rather try to force it down than drink Coors Light. Corona is only slightly ahead of “Dreded Number Eight” on the Shit Beer List. ---

Beck’s. Very very popular here in Deutschland but it leaves a foul taste in my mouth. My favourite German beer is a little obscurity called Rothaus Tannen Zäpfle, although overall I think the Belgians and Czechs brew the best stuff. ---

Michelob Ultra…for Christ’s sakes, if you’re that damn worried about carbs, then don’t drink beer and spoil it for the rest of us! (Needless to say, I’m no big fan of the Atkins Diet) ---

Ohh, and if someone said I could only have one beer for the rest of my life, it would probably be Rochefort 10, though any good craft beer would make my day. ---

I just plain do not enjoy Sam Adams lager. There’s something about it that leaves a soapy taste in my mouth. And I don’t like the Beatles, either.
