Green Bottles Are Dangerous
Pilsner Urquell has done a better job than Beck's in designing their six-pack bottles. Beck's maintains the traditional "caddy" style cardboard containers which are vulnerable to "light spoilage" (aka skunkiness). Wish I had a nickel for every Beck's I've lost....:@ - Now PK - on the other hand, having learned what not to do from Beck's - offers a six-pack like a birdhouse with six chimneys. Very light-proof efficient cardboard carrying case.
Pilsner Urquell is winning me over - One pint at a time.\\

Pilsner Urquel was voted best beer in the world in the late 70's. It's a Chek beer, right?
Any ice cold beer is great if you are chasing a shot of Scotch. Amen.;)
I'll have to try it. Back home, we drank tons of "Sagres" particularly around "festa" time. (I'm half Portuguese)
Coopers pale ale, fermented in the bottle the only way to go
chronic
old and in the way
I don't drink much anymore, but when I did, and after trying hundreds of different beers, stouts and ales (literally hundreds, since I worked for a beverage dealer who specialized in imports and micro-brewery beers, all of which we tried as they came in the door) the best ever was, and probably still is, Chimay red label. When people would ask for a recommendation, I would always suggest Chimay and offer a personal (meaning out of my pocket) money-back guarantee. Not one person ever took me up on it. The best. Hands down.
Chimay is indeed good; albeit a tad pricey. Funny how my beer tastes have changed over the years. Fraternity beer in the early 1980s: Busch. Horrible, but not Budweiser, which tastes like a dead dog's bunghole and gives you a worse headache than having screwed one.
After I landed a job, I worshipped Bass. Back in those days, Bass was actually very good. The quality has slipped considerably since. Then, on to Guinness and Murphy's "Good from the Wood." Then, on to Sam Adams Boston Lager, and now, full circle, I actually really like Miller Genuine Draft.
I'm an idiot, aren't I?

Bridgeport IPA, but only in Portland Or. It doesn't travel well, for some reason; I've got it in LA at BevMo and it's lost its characteristic flavor.
When I've been broke, the go-to move is to get a 12 of Miller, chill it to near-freezing, and slam them down one after the other with a Camel Filter chaser.

Lately, I'v been switching between Pabst and Old Style. I like any kind of beer, and I'm always willing to try something new. If your'e ever in Milwaukee, check out the Landmark, they have an excellent selection of both bottles and taps.
ok, If you guys ever in Mexico, please ask for this one :
Killian's Irish Red
FOSTERS MATE!
Contemplating tomorrow
As he lifted the glass
to his lips
contemplating tomorrow,
today was growing
fainter and fainter
and he lowered
his empty glass
to the bar.

You have hit on two of my very favorites there. Great taste. Samuel Smith Taddy Porter right up in there too. Also like Indica IPA and Carlsberg Elephant. Lately have been switching between two quite good IPAs called Kashmir and Long Hammer, the latter made by Red Hook. (Not usually crazy about Red Hook products but this one is different ... nice, bitter hopsy IPA.)

Yeah, I grew up in St. Paul, which most people think of as encased in ice year-round. It is encased in ice, but only for 6 months of the year, The other six months it's 98 degrees and 80% humidity, with swarms of mosquitoes blocking out the sun. Biblical, I tell ya. And they wonder why there's a bar on every corner.
So I try to remember how fortunate i am to be in the dry heat now. But somehow it isn't very comforting. At least we're not in Iraq wearing 50 pounds of body armor.

Always remember, the heat is theraputic and it makes the beer taste better. I recall drinking like 15 or 20 beers on a very hot day while working with a sculpture class and I didn't even have a buzz. The hot air just sucked the alcohol right out of the can....and to think many Europeans drink their beer warm.
I thought we couldn't afford to buy any body armor for our troops.;)
Man, I was in duluth a couple of summers ago for some art instruction. I had to literally run from the car to the studio and back to the car every day and evening. never saw anything like it! we had a ton of mosquito's in michigan, even called them our state bird, but damn I've never seen anything like the swarms in Minnesota. just unreal!!

You want to know what's worse?
No-see-ums. . .
At least you can see the fucking mosquitoes.
With no-see-ums at less than an
1/8th of an inch long it's like. . .
. . . huh? Shit. There's blood dripping down my legs!
