Was in the mood to have some Coors Light with some chicken burgers I got from Sams' Club. The nearby 7-11 didn't have any single cans available so I got a couple 25oz cans of Michelob Light instead. Manage to drink both cans while watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Re: The Beer Thread
I tend to drink Coors Light with alternates to Bud Light or Michelob (which was my original choice back in my college days).
I do find that Coors Light pairs well with steaks.

Re: The Beer Thread
The Belgians brew better than Americans anyway. Heck, just about everybody brews better than Americans - the requirements of providing a standard flavor that withstands long-haul shipping has led the major American brewers to emasculate taste. A friend from Venezuela calls it "peess-water." (You may have to imagine his accent here.)
N.B.: I am not speaking of the American microbrewers here, but the biggies we all know, Anheuser-Busch, Coors, etc.

Re: The Beer Thread
It bothers me a little when foreign companies buy our good stuff. When they buy our crap, as has happened here, I say fine!

Stella Artweiser?
Almost, as Anheuser-Busch has agreed to a $52 BILLION buyout by Belgian mega-brewer InBev.
Story
(AP) Brewer InBev SA said Monday it will buy U.S. rival Anheuser-Busch for $52 billion to create the world's largest brewer.
The deal sees control over America's largest brewer move overseas as it forms the fourth-largest consumer product company under the name of Anheuser-Busch InBev.
InBev promises that the takeover will help global best seller Budweiser expand into emerging markets like China, Russia and Brazil, generating large profits as costs rise and revenue from beer sales in North America and Europe fall flat.

This is mostly done for the US so that it can be labeled as an "Import" even though it is not from the original country plus beer from Canada and Mexico is not taxed due to NAFTA results in more competitive pricing versus US brands.

Although it should be noted that even beers exported from it's original country may be crafted differently to appeal to taste or laws in other markets.Last edited by Ninja; May 22, 2008, 10:20 PM.

Re: The Beer Thread
If I am drinking beer, it is either going to be a Guinness, Boddingtons, or New Castle. I am not a beer snob, but domestic brews don't do "it" for me, and too much carbonation is a killer. I wish i could find Oranjaboom more, I love that for a lighter beer.
I like the variety of micro brews that are readily available nowaday, seems like the sky is the limit. I am a fan of all the Sierra Nevada brews, the ESB brews, and magic 8 brew.

Re: The Beer Thread
If it says it's brewed an bottled in Canada, I can't think of any reason to believe otherwise. The US label stuff is put there because the beer is being sold in the United States. If you look at a lot of import brews, you'll see that the labels have all the US bottle-tax info on them, too.

What should I believe as far as alcohol content?

Re: The Beer Thread
the night we flew to portland, we went a christmas party at eric's friend's house. we brought a bottle of budweiser brew master's private reserve (see a pic, description and reviews here) to share. it was a prize eric won at his work's christmas party "dirty santa" game. it comes corked like a champagne bottle, so i feared that maybe it was gonna be gimmicky. we were all surprised at how much it tasted like newcastle for an A-B product. finish was a little different. too bad a lot of the crowd at the party are "canoe beer" drinkers. we couldn't finish the bottle so we we happily gave it to the only other person who truly appreciated it--a friend of eric's who had spent part of 2007 in iraq.
