Not much of a drinker either, but if I do have the occasional beer, I usually try to grab either a Guiness, DAB, or Okocim.

For those that list Bud or Coors as their favorite beers:



Favorite: Kostrizer

But I can only get that at specialty pubs so I usually purchase Newcastle, Heineken, or miller high life

Guinness goes down so damn smooth, which is perhaps my favorite trait about it. It doesn't have the best aftertaste compared to other beers, but I like the texture. I actually don't think it's bitter at all (and no, I don't drink scotch or whiskey) - I may be crazy for thinking this, but I also always get the feeling I'm drinking chocolate milk whenever I'm downing Guinness!

EDIT: Oh man, no wonder why you think Guinness is bitter - because Corona and Dos Equis are your favorites! Those beers are so light I can down 5 22's and feel just a little buzzed. My woman and her girlfriends love Corona and Dos Equis primarily because of this lightness.

We drink Amstel/Heineken in the pubs here. But Warsteiner/Corona/Erdinger is possible too. They have BAVARIA shit in our football stadium

The Amsterdam Arena(Ajax) footballstadium has a contract with Grolsch, not even Heineken. I like Grolsch though.

I'm a beerguy so it doesn't matter:
I don't have an alcohol problem if there's enough beer

What are we talking about...widely available beers, I'm guessing?

Throw in another vote for Paulaner Hefeweissbier. A decent mass produced wheat beer. Weissbier in general =

I also like Spaten Optimator and Ayinger Celebrator. (yes, Bavarian! ) I like the doppelbock style in general.

Guinness absolutely must be had on draught. The bottled stuff is a poor alternative. Guinness is drinkable and enjoyable on draught.

Sam Adams and Yuengling are generally decent, among others.

Corona is piss water for girls. Sorry.

Oh, and I'm not a big fan of Warsteiner. There are significantly better beers to be had all over Germany.

The difference is not big. In fact, personally it's almost the same to me. You still get some head and the texture is similar when drinking from the bottle. Perhaps that rocket widget inside the bottle really helps.

The big American beers remind me of lightly scented carbonated water. All I taste is the carbonation.

Favourite beers:

1. Duvel (Bel.)
2. Corsendonk (Bel.)
3. Swamp Fox IPA (USA)
4. Heineken (Hol) - but only when its fresh, which is rarely
5. Guiness Draft - yes, it is smoooth.

I had it on tap in Ireland. Very malty. However, I seem to recall the bottled drink being extremely bitter...

Maybe it's just been too long since I've tried it either way.

Same here. Czech beer is IMO the best in the world. Sorry, Germany, Belgium, UK. You guys are good, but not quite as good.

Here is an American beer that I want to try. The Russian River Brewing Company always does very, very well in critics' lists: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/863/7971/
