**Kythereia:** Well pull up a bar stoll, get comfy, have a few beers, and some of us might actually look pretty good, too! šŸ˜‰ I am happy to announce (I donā€™t know how I managed to forget this yesterday)that I am a Beer Baby! Yes, my mother, a lifetime bowler on the Anheuser-Busch Bowling League, came home one Thursady night after a particularly good evening of bowling _and beer_, and was ā€œin the mood.ā€ Nine months later, I entered the world. ---

On the other hand, I heard on the radio this morning that their [url=ā€œ[http://www.anheuserworldselect.com/index.html](http://www.anheuserworldselect.com/index.html)ā€] Anheuser World Select has performed well in the test market and is going national. This is by far their hoppiest and best beer. No, really, itā€™s actually a good, all barley malt no rice Pils. Iā€™m actually excited that the worldā€™s largest brewer is brewing good mass market beer again. ---

Iā€™ve always liked Michelob, and their Amber Bock isnā€™t bad at all (for an American domestic; the real German stuff still blows it away). ---

My wife **loves** World Beer. I view it as a step in the right direction, since her previous favorite ā€œbeerā€ was Bud Light. :eek: That is good news. Now we wonā€™t have to drive to the next town to buy her fix. ---

> [@SPOOFE](#): > > I, too, love beer. Whether Iā€™m downing something pricey from some European hamlet with a name that I couldnā€™t ever hope to pronounce, or if Iā€™m sitting in a back alley downing a forty of Mickeyā€™s, itā€™s all tasty. Heineken (fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!), Modelo, Rolling Rock, Newcastle, Arrogant Bastard, Sierra Nevadaā€¦ So a particular friend of mine always tells me Rolling Rock is horse piss. But I really like it. It is the beer for me, and Iā€™m so a wine person. Tell me itā€™s not horse piss!! ---

Do you drink it? Do you like it? Then screw your friend. He (and others) may make fun of you, but you like it, and thatā€™s all that counts. Just be willing to try other beers, as well. Yes, I am a beer geek, but Rolling Rock is my ā€œgo-toā€ beer on a hot summer day. šŸ˜ƒ ---

> [@YellowTail](#): > > Iā€™m partial to Fat Tire these days. A lovely medium ale. Itā€™s brewed here in Colorado. Can you guys get it? Iā€™ve seen it for sale in Missouri.

Some of my favorites not mentioned yet: Uff-da Bock, [New Glarus Brewing Company](http://www.newglarusbrewing.com/), New Glarus, Wisconsin; actually, every beer Iā€™ve tried by them is good Trois Pistoles, [Unibroue Brewing Company](http://www.unibroue.com/english.cfm), Quebec (havenā€™t had a bad beer by them either for that matter) Dirty Bastard Ale, Founders Brewery, Michigan Immort Ale, [Dogfish Head Brewery](http://www.dogfish.com/), Deleware I tend to go toward darker, maltier beers (and ones with higher alcohol contents). ---
