Not surprising, given the awful taste. I grew up in Bayern and the Pfalz, the name I remember is from living in Veitshöchheim.

With very limited exceptions, you can forego the qualifier "light" in that statement. Almost nothing that we brew deserves to be called "beer." Certainly none of the major labels do....

Some of them drink Radlers, a beer-lemonade mix.

We got this last summer and believe me it's no very good.

That's not a radler.

:facepalm:

That store even sells a real radler ... if fact you owe all of Bavaria and apology for even suggesting that Coors :lol: could be a proper beer, never mind a proper radler, which is even more difficult.

You want to start with the basics although this one is with grapefruit instead of lemonade

Please, tell me you'll never drink a Coors product again, as you have some many good Canadian beers to choose from :D

They were giving samples at the grocerie store this summer when you bought a minimum of 70$, that's how I got to taste it.
I swear I never drank coors products before that and never will again.

That's why I stock up on Yuengling when I drive back to Philadelphia to visit family. Leienkuegel from Wisconsin is pretty good too.

LoL I'm glad your back, you make me laugh just about every day!

Yuengling, really? I can get half a dozen better beers than that at the local 7-11.

Also, in defense of American beer, here's one of my favorites:

Gotta agree that some of the American microbrews are quite good.

Now all you need are some good looking women, a few Maße and some Dirndls in unison and you've got a party going ....

Really!

The only thing I remember of West Coast Beer is the "Running of the Raniers" and the "Raaaaaaanieeeer" whine of a motorcycle, on TV ads of the late 70's. I even had an inflatable "Goodbeer Blimp" with a Ranier Can for a gondola which I got when I went to a bicycle club meeting at the Ranier brewery in 1979 or 1980. Beer didn't taste so great but the promotions were memorable.

I LOVE Yuenglings! Definitely not for the hop-head but a damn fine easy-drinking beer.

There's really nothing like it 'round here. I guess back before the Weinhardt's sellout we had that but, since then... Well, I guess Full Sail Session is in the same vein, but I still like Yuenglings better.

I approve of Yuengling. My ex-wife went to PSU and I drank a fair bit of it.

That's what I was thinking...Yuengling, Weinhardt's, Rainier...all the appearance of a microbrew without all that pesky flavor. ;)

The regional brewers do seem a bit too infatuated with hops at the moment though. I like something with a bit more malt, but it's hard to find among the ocean of IPA's.

I had a few Lagunitas Brown Shuggas during a recent visit to San Jose. It's a very tasty beer. I didn't take note of the 9.9% ABV until it was too late. Fortunately, I had walked to the bar.

I presume that's Pennsylvania State University (or something), not Portland State University :)

If you're going to spell it out like that it's The Pennsylvania State University.

I went twice this year! My favorite photo is this one:

A table of Koreans was really hitting it ... she out drank her man and stood may 150cm/5ft (at most with heels.)

She didn't make it much longer after the full Maß

Best pic I could find in 20 sec of googling of that beer lady from "The Producers"

marnepup 11-29-12 01:42 PM

yuengling....meh. Leinie's okay, though...but not as good as another Wisconsin brewery, New Glarus. Their main beer, Spotted Cow, is bad, but Fat Squirrel Ale is fantastic, for an ale. I like a dry Pilsener best, followed by Lager.
