Shiner (minus there light), Carona, Bud, Lone Star, and Keystone
Climate thingie, those are refreshing beers.
Yall just don’t know nothing about beer! (Bier)
Lemur! Try Murphy’s Stout! It beats Guinness IMO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphys_(beer)
And what the heck is this Belgian bilge water? It’s the byproduct of draft horses!
I’m sorry but if you want good beer you’re going to have to get a good Bavarian Beer…a real one.
Right now it is Lent and the time of good strong beer. Double and Triple Bock Beers. They are a meal in a drink.
Heck, here they have more types of beer than any place else has brands. And no additives!
I don’t even think it is legal here to sell some of the polluted crap that passes for beer in some other places.
Our little local store must have 50 or 60 brands and those are just the local ones…Then there are the special ones that are hard to get…
Most of that other stuff is a waste of good hops!![]()

I've had Murphy's, and it's good stuff. Don't forget I live in Wisconsin, a land of beer, with little breweries everywhere. That's not to mention the great stuff coming out of Chicago with Goose Island beer and all of that.
But when I really, really need a beer, I always come back to my true love.
Murphy's is 'ok', though Beamish is preferable to Murphy's and Guinness IMHO. The only decent Guinness is the stuff actually brewed in Dublin. The British stuff has the consistency of ditch water - though all Guinness has quite a mass produced flavour, with a metallic after taste and a free headache.
The problem with Irish beverages as a whole at the moment is that they've been going through a tacky spin offs marketing phase. There are several different versions of Bailey's, which in my opinion has cheapened it's image even further and there are a few versions of Guinness such as "Extra Cold" and of Beamish (Beamish Red).
Personally I would prefer a common run of the mill bottled English Ale (i.e. Fuller's, Badger, Wychwood etc) to some of the slop that is passed off as stout these days.

Bud, Miller, Coors, PBR are all standbys. Sam Adams and Bass Ale are good too. Colt 45 is vastly under appreciated. They used to market it to country clubs! Smooth and creamy, yum.
I agree, can only get it in cans here, which isn't the same nor as good.
Beer? Heh, whatever I can get my grubby fingers on. If I have money I'll buy Peroni, Bavaria, Sol Cervesa. But, mostly I don't and Aussie beer ain't the best, so I stick to Cooper's Pale Ale or Toohey's Pils mixed with whiskey.

One of my best lads is from Dublin. I liked the way he said that he loves Austria since it has one of the best beers in the world and all those people liking Guinness are just fakers.
So I went out and visited him in Dublin and, yeah he was right. Guinness sucks, Austrian beer is awesome. I still hate Austria as a country though.
I'm actually a german wheatbeer (weizenbier) drinker; nothing beats a german Franziskaner - period; but austria has some damn good beer. Wieselburger, Stiegl, Muraurer, and so on. Hell yes!
As far as I am concerned with american beer, let me quote the Pythons: "American beer is like sex on a canoe -close to water."
PS: I wrote this post under the influence of 3 fine Erdinger beer, so don't blame me for posting weird stuff.
I like beer but have never been able to drink a lot of it because I feel like a zeppelin after a few, and prefer not to have to run to the restroom every 20 minutes.
I usually enjoy a beer after a shot or two. Since my spirit of choice is usually tequila (not Cuervo, *shivers*), I will most often drink a Mexican beer--preferably Dos Equis if it's available, Corona with lime if not (arguably no longer a true Mexican beer, but I was drinking it long before it became popular and old habits die hard).
If I drink beer by itself, it's usually Guinness. A good part of my heritage is Irish, and it's a hearty, flavorful brew. I'll also drink it on the occasions that I decide to drink whiskey instead of tequila.
I have never liked most American beer, nor do I favor Asian varieties. Sam Adams and Sapporo are exceptions. Canada puts out some good beer, and of course, Europe has a wide variety of very fine beer. I can take or leave most Australian varieties.
I don't drink much of anything nowadays though. Just haven't been in the mood.

Canadian beer is water, and american beer is watered piss.
And I'm not even overreacting. I've tried any kind of Canadian beer available in Ontario (because honestly, beer is the cheapest way to get drunk, if you can afford to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes later in the night), and believe me, I tried hard to think "okay, this one isn't that bad".
8 months later, I still long for Belgium, Irish or German beer.
And don't get me started on american beers. Deer holy molly, people have to wait 21 years to drink that ?
I wondered that too when I lived there. And then you see people drinking Bud light and you ask them if they are blind and ignorant?And don't get me started on american beers. Deer holy molly, people have to wait 21 years to drink that ?
Light beer is a crime.
(I'd agree though that some american beer are decent, like Sam Adams.)

Alright, here I have to agree Shiner is DECENT.
My favorite is without a doubt the German/Belgian Beers (Paulaner, Becks, etc.).
I'm really not a fan of any American beer, but I do sympathize with the types you name because of the cost...and I know you're not always drinking for the taste![]()
I'm Belgian, need I say more?
In all honesty, when it comes to pils I also like german and Tchech pils.

Try to find Allagash. The stuff rivals Chimay as a good Belgian beer, but it's from Maine, a bit cheaper and they have even started making their own styles of beer rather than sorta copying Belgian styles, though to be fair it's hard to say that their inventions really deviate from the Belgian tradition that much.
