Leine's are great. I like most beer, even the cheap watery ones. I got into Grain Belt over the past couple years. Every time I go back to Minnesota I pick some up. I can't stand Coors though. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.
Is it safe to say that every single popular beer...stinks?

I do like Becks!!
This weekend I am going to have to hit some of the more specialty stores and see what I can find.
Yes, Grain Belt, Leines and Old Style are all very drinkable and common to see around these parts.

Originally posted by victoryredchevyWhat!? No mention of Rolling Rock?! Now this stuff is a quality brew. It's an extra pale ale. Almost looks clear. Brewed by Latrobe Brewery in St. Louis. It's about 7 bucks a six pack around here, but it's worth it. What a clean and smooth beer!

i think becks is overrated, though im an ale man. all those german lagers are pretty much the same to me.

"Is it safe to say that every single popular beer...stinks?"
Yes. Part of the series: Simple Answers to Simple Questions.
That said, a four-banger of Bud Dry pints (under $3 in St Louis) sometimes hits the spot at the end of a hot day that didn't begin with you thinking you'd want a drink oncet you got home.
Summers in the midwest do lead you to understand why a bunch of German braumeisters who knew better would tend to begin brewing watery lagers, exclusively. I think the diabetic-sugarpiss flavor didn't get introduced before war rationing began, though.
Speaking of which -- tool77: Schlafly's, "St Louis' second biggest brewery," sometimes throws off a variety of lager based exclusively on corn. As a switch up, it's really not bad. Tastes like breakfast cereal.

Has anyone here ever tried Triple Karmelite (I think that's how it's spelled).
I bought one at some specialty beer/wine tasting lounge type place in Santa Cruz. They guy insisted it was worth the 10$ per bottle price tag because it was voted the world best and most deliciouse beer.
I tried it and it was absolutely amazing, but I have yet to be able to find it sold anywhere in a store.
Has anyone else tried this extravegant jesus-like beer?

bumped in hopes that the original poster will come back with his new hooker and shareGrant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......
I've been wrong lots of times. Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

as i CA native i gotta rep Lost Coast Brewery. my personal favorite of theirs is Downtown Brown... so if you like brown ales give this stuff a shot.
also, Spaten Optimator is one of my favorites. dopplebock with 7.6% abv MMMMMM.
nearly all lagers taste the same to me... bland and flavorless. i'd rather spend my money on something with more flavor profiles.

We mostly drink Shiner. I have been drinking the Bock since the late 80's. They have a lot of other varieties now though and I like them all. We normally get the family reunion 12 pack. 2 each of Bock, Blonde, Black Lager, Hefeweizen, Light, and one other, Used to be Kosmos Reserve, but lately, they have been putting the Old Time Alt in there.
If we are going cheap, we stick with Lone Star.
