    Sure Belgium has a wide collection of fruitbeers but at least they taste and look like beers.

    I have 2 very strict rules about my beer:
    1. If you need to drink ice and ice cold to be able to enjoy it, then it isn't worth drinking (I'm looking at you Heiniken).
    2. If the beer starts to resemble an alcopop instead of real beer, then it isn't worth drinking.

    Also,

    3. Beer should not have bubbles fighting to float to the top. Any bubbles that appear should be the result of fermentation, not added later with carbonation.
    4. Beer should have a small head. I've paid for the beer, not the foam dammit. If I want to drink air, I can do so for free without pouring it into a glass.
    5. If you're only drinking it to get drunk, it isn't worth drinking. Beer should be an interesting, not throwaway drink, whatever its ABV. Really weak beers generally aren't worth drinking, not because of their low ABV, but because little care has gone into their making, and they taste bland.

    No idea.

    I just enjoy the flavor of the beer. I'm not nearly a connoisseur on the this type of stuff. I basically drink what tastes good. (beer... I don't drink wine coolers or such)

    How do you enjoy the flavor? Beer flavor is far inferior to that of wine, as a general rule.

    And I'm not counting wine coolers. That kool-aid doesn't count as alcohol in my book.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Stella is beer for people who can't find proper beer.

    Of the ones that are commonly available in the pubs I frequent, Spitfire, Old Peculier, Abbot Ale, Broadside. Then there are others that supplement the usuals, and I usually try some of those as well, although I don't remember their names. Some of those beers don't work of course, but there's a good variety, and I enjoy trying unfamiliar beers.

    It really depends on the wine and the beer.

    And I'm not counting wine coolers. That kool-aid doesn't count as alcohol in my book.
    I'm glad you aren't a chick.
