Thanks!!! You did me no favours by reminding me of what a good drink that was! FWIW, I have started tracking down (InBev UK, subsidiary of InterBrew) why it is no longer on sale and, more importantly, how I can get hold of it again. I shall keep you informed of any progress.
Thanks again - NOT.

Man, not while I'm drinking coffee... Not that I disagree mind you.

They are slowly expanding. I heard they opened a second brewery (actually bought it) in Florida. Their strategy is to get incredible market saturation someplace and then slowly expand. If they are there then they are there. If not you can't find it.

It might be the same as Grand Premier .... not sure, I always aim for the blue label. There is also red and blanc (white) ... Red is darn good too. Lot of folks like blanc as well.
I also like Shiner Bock for regular easy going beer ...

Did a little search, it seems the Grande Reserve is the blue label stuff, Premiere is the red. I prefer the blue, but the red is good too. Never tried the white. I'll have to check it out.
Can't say I really care for Shiner Bock. Think I'd rather suck on a sweaty toe.

lol sorry mate!
Many a summer nice has passed away outside in my favourite bar drinking a fair few bottles of Stella Dry.... but I'm sure I haven't seen it since around '95.... not that that should detract from your hunt good sir! Track away and keep me informed.....
Ah, a beer thread! I like:
Shiner Bock
Abita
Negra Modelo
Boddington's
Heineken Dark
Corona w/ lime - if I'm drinking at the beach
I really want to try Stella Artois, but I haven't been able to find it in my area.

Shamus said:I don't know of any beers made in the US. Outside the US, I would say Guiness. I spose Guiness is sold in the US, so in some ways it counts to the thread.
I've never been a huge Guiness fan, but I've had it in bottles in the U.S. and on the tap in the U.K. and can say without fear of contradiction that Guiness is bottles is not Guiness. It's the right color, but that's about all.
Since this thread has shifted to include non-U.S. brews, I'll add the most memorable beer I've had in the U.K.: Ind Coope's Burton Ale. An altogether serious beer.

Agreed 100000%.
Guinness is only good on-tap. Anything else is not worth the money.
I'd take a warm Pabst over a Guinness in the bottle..."rocket widget" or not.
devilot said:ARGH! Thanks for saying that; I hate it when people look at me like I'm insane when I say it's not a bear.
I hate it too, some people are just plain stupid.
I have to add Maisels Weiss (spelling?) to the list - we had it at the restaurant where I worked at our skifields and me and the bartender got stuck into them one night when it was a bit quiet in the restaurant (for free of course, nobody else was buying them so we took it upon ourselves to deplete the stock - it wasn't the first of many, many drunk nights waiting tables in a 4 and a half star restaurant. My last night I drank 8 double vodka, lime and cranberries before I'd finished my shift and because it was a public holiday at the end of the season there wasn't much work to do and I was getting paid $38 an hour to get pissed. I miss that job...

Indeed, Guinness on tap, done by someone who knows what he's doing is the best beer ever. So Guinness is my vote.
But in bottles, ugh.
Guinness is actually decent coming out of a can though, for a strange reason.
