Ahh finally, the beer topic!
In the United States, most of our beer really sucks. The cheap "kiddie" beer(which I find disgusting) must be kept as cold as possible. Served warm, you feel like you are drinking pee. Probably about the same taste, but I'm not entirely willing to find out at the moment.
Around here, there is a great beer called "Shiner Bock." It's a good beer from the Spoetzl brewery in Shiner, TX (I think the population is just under 1,000). It's a damn good dark beer, but to me is more on the light end of that spectrum. Shiner makes several other types of beer, none that I have tried yet. It is appartenly distributed in 41 states, but I know when I'm in West Virginia I sure can't find it anywhere. But West of the Mississippi, I've found Yuengling lager to be pretty OK. Drinkable, anyhow. Coors, Budlight, Milwaukee's best, Pabst, etc are all unacceptable beers unless served damn near frozen. But Shiner and Yuengling both were pretty good even warm. But there is something very good about a cold beer. After a hot day of work outside on the car(Hell, who am I kidding? More like WHILE working on the car) there is nothing like a nice cold beer to cool you off.
Has anyone here ever had "Bigfoot Ale?" Its a pretty strong, but drinkable beer. It's supposed to be, in essential, 2 beers in one bottle. As for Canadian beer, I've heard alot of hype(from Canadians) about Molson beer, but I was very dissapointed after drinking it. Not nearly as good as Shiner, or other lagers I've had around the U.S.
