best beer?

Quick question: What is it with North Americans and beer in cans?

I saw so many beer in cans while I was there, cans were more expensive than bottles. Beer from a can tastes like arse, it needs to be drunk from:

- a glass
- a bottle
- a keg tap
- a tube attached to a funnel held aloft by some means (we had a 30 foot long beer bong at Uni).



Not a can, cans are gross, they make the beer taste all metallic.

Lately I've developed a bit of a taste for James Squire's Amber Ale and Porter.

Pottsville. Yuengliing comes from Pottsville, PA. Which is quite farmish.

Magic Hat comes from Vermont.

Heh. Where'd that M come from?!? I meant to say "by far."


But I guess it does make sense.

If you're in Milwaukee try Sprecher's. i especially like Special Amber although they are all great. Try the brewery tour, however, you'll need a designated driver

PS It's great at Summerfest!

Another vote for Black Sheep, also Theakstons, Timothy Taylors, Pedigree (all UK)

On a hot day a Carlton Crown Lager (Aussie).

I hate to one-up you, but I can do worse. Old Milwaukee LIGHT, in a plastic cup.

Why is it that beer tastes even worse in a plastic cup????

Courage Directors Bitter?

Directors is currently one of the guest ales down at one of our local taverns. Had a pint of it a little earlier this evening, and very pleasant it was too.

Plus, as a bonus, our other local still has Deuchars IPA on as a guest.

Because it goes flat and warm even quicker in a plastic cup than a nicely frozen beer glass or cold glass bottle. One of the reasons I hate those jumbo cups at football games... but since I have a cup from each stadium, I have to have one

Ah that brings back memories of High School...

Strongbow, not a beer I know.

Strongbow is awesome. Though its harder to find here. I loved it last summer going to an off license and getting a 2 litter bottle of the stuff. Another good non-beer drink going into summer would be Pimms.

If it wasn't in cans what would big drunk guys smash against their heads?

and Kudos on the Beer Bong thats impressive

No luck about it at all, my friend – just careful pub selection on our part.
