[Misfit23]

Modelo, Corona, and High Life... PBR gets a mention because it's my preferred cheap beer of choice here.

 

[Prutfis]

Becks and Heineken if the originals. Don´t know if the US has their own crappier versions like with Budweiser..

American beer is like having sex in a canoe. It´s fucking close to water..

 

[I Eat Cabbage & Potatoes]

Budweiser, coors and Guinness

Nothing better than on super hot summer day on the river or at the lake and going to the cooler and fishing through half ice, half ice cold water and getting a super cold Budweiser. Or any American domestic really.

 

[S for Stuka]

Always hated beer.

Hard liquor is always 1000x better.

American macro breweries are pretty awful, the only two beers that are good on that list are Sam Adam’s and Guinness. Blue moon isn’t a terrible wheat so that was my third choice
American craft breweries are consistently rated the best in the world, I’m lucky enough to be able to go to Treehouse frequently.

Yeah craft/micro breweries have really done wonders for quality beer.

I don't drink much beer anymore but in my younger days, I drank enough Pabst to float a battleship. I'm surprised to see the Pabst label claiming the 5.9% alcohol. American beers used to be limited to 5.5% alcohol. Anything over that had to be sold as malt liquor. Some states only allowed 3.2% alcohol beer to be sold in grocery stores and bars with the lower class license. You had to go to liquor stores to get the good beer. Pabst consistently was tested at 5.9% in Beer magazine tests. I knew it was higher in alcohol content because we would occasionally leave beer in an unheated garage on a cold winter night. Budweiser and Schlitz would freeze but Pabst didn't. I guess they dropped that 5.5% limit due to lobbying from the craft beer industry.

Coors all day and some the next morning for the hangover
maybe it's the Denver in me but I do genuinely enjoy a Coors

American Beck's is brewed in the US, not in Bremen.German Beck's is pretty shit too (Compared to other German Pilseners)

Budweiser and Budweiser Budvar (From the City of Budweis in Bohemia) are 2 completely different Breweries who've tussled over the naming rights.

 

[KOQ24]

Sam Adams and Guinness are easily the best out of that List.

Heineken is a dumbed-down Lager but drinkable when fresh and cold from a can on a hot day.

 

[Long Dark Blues]

From that list:

1.) Sam Adams
2.) MGD
3.) Heineken

 

[drstrangelov]

I’m going Stella, Heineken, Budweiser. Budweiser mostly for nostalgia, I drank it pretty heavily from age 14-25.

 

[Via Heeto]

Came to vote red dog and icehouse, but they aren't on the list

 

[Simple Southerner]

Blue moon
Heineken
Budweiser

Shiner. Nuff said

The worst German brewed pilsner is still better than the best american (mass produced stuff from the big names)..

Yes, america made their own shittier budweisers... (not that Budvar is all that good compared to other Czech pilsners.)

Always hated beer.

Hard liquor is always 1000x better.

And 1000x more likely to give you liver failure.

bud light

 

[Morning Star]

Of those went Stella, Blue Moon, and Modelo. Would have put Pacifico over all 3 if it was listed.
