Re: A Canadian Joke
The only mass produced american beer I'll drink is Miller High Life...because as a crappy beer, it's got more charm then any of the others. Hell, it's the champagne of beers!
Bud, MGD, Killians, Icehouse, Red Dog, etc....I don't let that junk down my gullet.
The only other beer I drink that's mass-produced in the US is guinness.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Have you guys tried Red Hook? Now that ACTUALLY does taste like feet.

Re: A Canadian Joke
For all the joking, I sometimes like a beer that tastes like feet, or musty old basements, or however you want to describe it.
You drink three coronas and all you taste is water, sometimes a hella stinky beer...like bass or harp, will really kick your taste buds back into shape.

Re: A Canadian Joke
American beers have developed a bit of a renaissance in the past decade, largely due to microbrews. I can remember 20 years ago that some friends and I set a goal to try every beer made or imported to the US. At the time it was possibly realistic. Now it's impossible. There are an incredible amount of quality regional beers. I don't drink any of the mass produced beers (Bud, Coors, Miller, etc) because I don't really like them very much. I drink beer now because of the tastes. I had a different agenda in my younger days. A case of Piels was less than 4 bucks.
You also have a few quality beers in the midlle ground, like Sam Adams. It's a decent ale, but no longer a microbrew. Out here there are two good sized local breweries that do well, and have a quality line. One is New Belgium who brew Fat Tire. It's too smooth for my taste, but it does have a lot of flavor. Another is Breckenridge whose biggest seller is Avalanche Ale. Again, it's not the best Ale I've ever had, but it's miles above a national brand in taste. And it's comparable in price to big imports like Heineken or Corona, which (imho) are overrated.
Now I look at beer like many people look at wine. I prefer different types and brands in different situations. I love stouts, but I would never drink one on a beach or playing golf. Those events require something like a Blue Moon or Celis wheat beer. A Sam Adams Triple Bock is good for sipping, but I dare you to pound one. If I had one complaint about American beer it is their inability to produce a stout with both the flavor, body and smoothness of a Murphy's, Beamish or Guinness. Sometimes they get 2, but not 3. If anybody disagrees let me know. I'd be happy to do more research.
We do Okay here in the states with beer. But just like I wouldn't recommend anyone buying a DVX that lists for 2500 bucks, I stay away from beer that costs 12 bucks and come in a "suitcase"
