Re: Best beers
Is the OP out of his mind? There are two types of beers:
1) Good beers that taste really good. Newcastle. Dogfish head. Guiness. Sam Smiths.
2) Beers that are good enough to slam back with your buddies. Beers that are cheaper so you can easily order rounds with your friends. Beers that are light so you don't feel like you're drinking anything heavy. These are the OP's top beers.
I drink both kinds. I'll order up a round of bud or drink some dosXX with a burrito. But if I "drink beer" I am certainly sticking to #1. Who says "damned, this bud light SURE is a tasty beer. Wow?"
It's true that bud and some other domestic beers are popular in Europe. I think that's because:
1) you can drink a lot of them
2) they're foreign, and hence cooler.
3) budweiser has spent zillions marketing them to tap into the global market.
People in Australia laugh at you if you mention Fosters. But Fosters markets heavily over here, so I'm sure there are people who say, "Damn, this aussie beer sure is delicious. Pass me another."
