Northerner came good for me ... the end of the story

[lxskllr]

What s it with light beer? It tastes like piss and doesn't have less alcohol or if it does it's negligible, is it the calories?

It's for people who don't like beer, and don't want their buddies getting on their ass for drinking Zima, or whatever the chick "beer" of the day is. I'll drink cheap beer, and I'll even drink traditional(lightish) American lager, but light beer isn't worth the effort. It tastes like bad sparkling water, and I'd rather have good sparkling water, which I can get for the same price.

I bought a six of bud light not too long ago and realised why it was only £3! It's nasty shit!

I have to say that if I want to drink beer - I'll drink a nice chewy one!

If I want to quench my thirst then water is great!

I wish people would stop inventing things to solve problems that aren't there!

Yea, Bud Light's pretty bad. A cheapish beer I like around here is Dundees Honey Brown. It's less than $6 a 6 pack, and it dark and flavorful; a bit on the sweet side. I used to like Rolling Rock. It had an unusual grassy taste that went well with summer, and had a stylish painted label bottle. That got bought by Anheuser Busch, which in turn got bought by InBev which has atrocious corporate policies, and have no problem ruining a product to get more money. I won't buy their products, and suggest everyone do likewise, and avoid them. Here's the wall of shame with the brands they've bought, and in many cases ruined...

Wow I knew they were big but I had no idea how big. They've bought up a huge percentage of breweries up here. Luckily my regular beer isn't one of theirs.

I prefer sam adams or any of the micro-brews they have at the bar i go to for german club every week.

I'm fond of George Killian's Irish Red. Has anyone tried it?

I dont mind Sam Adams, but for me kohlsch beer is the best if going for Pilsner, bit for ale I have found a micro brewery just 1 mile from my house and their stuff is amazing!

They own Boddingtons?! That's annoying
Fortunately the beer scene is pretty good here and there's plenty to choose from.

Bro.....its made by Coors (read the back label)......Basically it's Coors lite........ with food coloring

[Snusdog]

For me.......it's an authentic Abby beer, Guinness , or a German offering

New Castle isn't bad.......What's its following like in England?

[Snusdog]

I remember getting some English produced tea back in the day at a local mart here in town......I thought I was living large.....until my friends from the UK told me it was swill and that they only sent the colonies the sticks and stems from the real stuff......

now I find out they are piping Benny Hill out of the country out of spite for the rest of us

......so I can't wait to hear how drinking New Castle is like paying top dollar for the English version of PBR

sigh.......at least there are the French......whose national past time is to remind our British mockers....... that they are indeed Cretans......with no sense of style, wine, or cosine......In turn......... in the grand chain of national snobbery......we at least have Canada.......so that's something

[trebli]

Are you sure about that Dog?


BREWING PROCESS
Killian’s Irish Red derives its distinctive red-amber color and taste from a special caramel malt that has been roasted at a high temperature longer and more slowly than most malts. There are no coloring agents or artificial additives used in brewing Killian’s. The brew is known for its rich amber color and thick, creamy head.


BREWERY HISTORY
This beer’s name comes from the last member of a brewer dynasty, the Killian, owner of the ‘Mill Park Brewery’ in Enniscorthy, county of Wexford in Ireland. MillerCoors Brewing produces Killian’s in the United States. MillerCoors uses the Killian’s recipes and same tradition of slow-roasting four traditional ale malts to give it a rich flavor and deep chestnut brown color.

I still don't like Killians, and I'm suspicious of their origin story. For a beer allegedly originated in the land of great ales, it tastes suspiciously like American lager. Of course there were the abominations of Harp and Guinness Gold, so what do I know? I'd like to think they were specifically crafted for the American market, but maybe the Irish can make crap too.

[Frosted]

Never heard of Killians
