It always amuses me when Americans try to tell people what makes a good beer, and then in the same breath openly admit that their country makes nothing but horse-piss.

My country makes crap lager, but we do quite well with ale and bitter... sorry about Mild, I don't know what we were thinking. Sorry.

This is urine beer-- Steel Reserve High Gravity 211.  We should weaponize this stuff to drop over trenches.

Hahaha... let me get this straight.  You're giving WFS shit because of a beer's name and image on the label, and you can't handle a steel reserve?  No offense, but it's just malt liquor.  The 40 of choice, for cheap.  You haven't lived until you've partied after a 40oz of this stuff.

Beers, I'll drink whatever.  I've yet to find one that makes me feel like it's "my" beer.

Hard alcohol, yes disarrono/amaretto = delicious. Mixed with 151 is tops.

151 shots by themselves are killer too.  Hits you hard and fast, and leaves that nice burning feeling in your chest.

I hear that Pie.  About the same with beer as I haven't found one that I would drink religiously   Although I have to admit Newcastle Brown Ale normally would be my choice.  I prefer hard alcohol, normally keeping a bottle of Stoli or if I'm poor Smirnoff blue (100 proof rather than normal 80 proof vodka).  A good whiskey or scotch would be fine as well.

I will NEVER become a memory...

mmm, just tried a German Lager, much better then that Belgian shit.

"It always amuses me when Americans try to tell people what makes a good beer, and then in the same breath openly admit that their country makes nothing but horse-piss."

We make some good beer too.  Our stouts are great, and Sam Adams takes medals over there.  It's just that our worst is the worst in the world, so you can't say a beer is piss until you've had American beers.

"mmm, just tried a German Lager, much better then that Belgian shit."

Thats just wrong

I wouldn't call that living.

The Yell,

Seeing as you prefer beers than can be used for mass consumption during sport matches I suggest the following Dutch beers;

1. Hertog Jan
2. Grolsch
3. Heineken
4. Amstel

Those are pretty decent and whilst looked down upon by most Belgians (Elitist bastards that they are) will get you through a sporting match.

I only see Steel Reserve 211 in a 24 oz can, never a bottle.   

Grolsch is pretty good ice cold.  But those are pricey.  Besides I prefer dark beers, stouts and porters.

I've had Delirium Tremens, but usually at the end of the evening so my taste buds are numbed anyhow.  Then we stagger off to a movie theater and see something crappy while we sober up.  Cops in our state can nab you on a DUI for sitting in your car drunk.

"WFS, we all have our tastes. Heineken, budeweiser and other taste just fine to me. I'm not a picky little twat to the point where it has to be perfect. I'm a man FFS, if it tastes semi decent and can get me drunk, I'm a happy camper.
(and WFS, my tolerance to alcohol is amazing. I'm sure I could knock back a few of those sissy beers and be just skippy tongue)"

Years of practice and experience tells me that heavy belgian beers are something you have to adapt to, even if you know your way around boozing. I'd say, get them, and drink them, you'll notice they're not like the beers you know..
But the point is that beer isn't just to get drunk on, but that it tastes a lot better. Wasn't the point of the whole bloody thread to list the best ones? Then you just pointed out that I was right. You don't really care about the taste, as long as it gets you drunk....

sign of a mindstate of a teenage kid.

Your tastebuds must've undergone great torture then.

"WFS - I love the taste of Heineken. = think it is by far one of the best beers I have ever tried, I was merely pointing out that if a beer tastes semi decent and can get one drunk, I am happy."

Then you have no right to criticize the beers I listed, like you did. Nor could you argue that Heineken or whatever piss you listed is better then others (especially those french ones), filistine X(
