It’s the “wine of the grain.” Ben Franklin said, “Beer is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.”
The best beer I’ve ever had was home-made by friends who really got into it, with all sorts of recipes and such. They joined a local home-brew organization, and they LOVED the meetings. They said the meetings always started out very serious and organized, then rapidly deteriorated for some reason.
My favorite is Shiner Bock.... but a few German dark varieties are providing stiff competition. Beer is great with Mexican food and with steak, and especially at the beach on a hot summer day. The best “beer” book is Steinbeck’s “Cannery Row” – the main character, Doc, enjoyed nursing a bit of beer during his every waking hour. I wish I had a job which would allow that.
But I have to work hard for a living. As they say, “Life isn’t all beer and skittles.” Why, I haven’t had a skittle in YEARS.

Becks, Carlsberg Export, Kronebourg 1664 & Staroprammen are my favs but they are lighter beers.
Have been known to dabble with John Smiths & Boddingtons also ;-)

The first beer I have been drinking, was one of the best. I liked it immediately.
I tend to go for the more “blond” beers.
Guinness is not really my cup of tea [or beer:) ]
In the Netherlands I always have Amstel.

Amstel is good, Grolsch on the other hand is not, i hate that stuff ;-)

I don’t drink too much beer really. Find it fills me up too quick. I’ll have 3-4 pints then move onto vodka and coke & vodka and red bull, depending how tired I am!

“You can’t beat a Bud! :)”
agrees with ally.

I can’t describe what I think of Bud on here cos there might be children watching! ;-)
ally77 said on March 23, 2006 15:07:
I don’t know when I first tried Bud, I think I was about 16!!! and I just kind of stuck with it, but I’ll drink anything really..... I really wanna go to Holland one day for one of these 2 pinters they do! :) imagine that on a nice Summers day! :)

ally77 said on March 23, 2006 19:24:

Finaly a topic i can relate to! ;-)
When I was in Germany last year I tried a few different beers, no idea what their names were but there was one real dark one that was almost like tar, it was weird!
I prefer lighter beers personaly, never even thought of brewing my own......now theres a thought.....VixzterBeer
