Heck, I drink more root beer now than I did when I was 14. We already had a stash of frosty adult beverages stashed away for those post-game conferences. anyone remember the first Coors cans that had the button you pushed to open the top? Those frosty cold ones were cool. And, of course, thanks to Adolph and sons, I had a fabulous collection of ring tabs/pop tops long b4 I graduated HS.

For a second there, I thought you were referring to beer. Oh, wait a minute, you meant ADOLPHUS as in Busch! Nevermind.

For a second there, I thought you both were referring to beer.

However, you know what swill like Coors and AB and Miller remind me of? It reminds me of making love in a boat. Why, you may ask. Because it is f*****g near water!

Please don't tell me about Lone Sludge

I vote that Milwaukee's Best be banned from using said name. As a native of Milwaukee, which is Algonquin for "the good land," I can personally vouch that Milwaukee's Best is actually Milwaukee's worst.

Sprecher, on the other hand, IS the best beer made in Milwaukee, and I'm a proud partaker of this delicious, frothy beverage.

And for those who are not of age, they may try Sprecher's fine root beer, which is equally delicious.

No. I drink beer. Real beer.

Some offerings from up your way would include beers by Dogfish Head (their Indian Brown Ale and 60 Minute IPA are exceptional), Victory Brewing is nearby, makers of two of my favorite beers on the planet, the Hop Devil and the Prima Pils. There is Brooklyn Brewery as well.

Some good beer that has a national distribution network that you should be able to buy in your neck of the woods include Sam Adams, Avery, Stone, Sierra Nevada, Pyramid, and many others. If you can't find any of them, you can always turn to the import section for Young's. Fuller's, Samuel Smith's, Czechvar...etc.

Like I said, I drink beer, not watered down yellow fizzy stuff.

Well, since we have managed to keep this thread OT...

If anyone makes it to the Twin Cities area, make sure you find a pub that sells Summit Pale Ale. Great stuff.

Dogfish Head is a local beer (DE). I believe Victory is also local (Downingtown, PA) http://www.victorybeer.com/home.html

You can keep the IPAs. Have never been a fan. I don't believe most brewers understand the recipe.

I drink Guiness when I can find it. It might interest you to know that if you are buying Guiness in the US, you are buying an AB product. I prefer the Guiness Extra Stout. Beemish isn't bad either. I prefer microbrews which stay traditional and NOT try to recreate beer. My "dinner table" beer has been Michelob for over 35 years.

You know, my old roommate and I are, by all accounts, beer snobs. We not only admit it, we're proud of it. We went to a bar one night, and we ordered Guinness. The waitress told us that they were all out, and one could probably swear we looked like we had just been told our parents were killed in a firey accident.

Then, she tells us that we might want to try a new brew called "Amber Bock," but never told us the brewery. We shrugged our shoulders, and we ordered two. After taking a sip, we were quite impressed. Smooth, delicious, nice aroma, not bad at all. After ordering our second round, we both glance up at the screen to see an Amber Bock commercial.... By Michelob!

Talk about a comeback, Michelob. Very tasty.

Don't know where you get your info from on beer, but it is not as concise as your rules knowledge of ASA softball. Guinness (two "n"s), is owned and distributed world wide by the Guinness Bass Company, and the USA distributor for this company is C2 Inc. All kegs of Guinness come straight from the St. James Gate Brewery to the US. The Draught Stout and Extra Stout are contract brewed for North America in InBev's Labatt Breweries. InBev and AB are fierce competitors in trying to control the world's beer market, (2 and 1 respectively), so I hardly doubt there is collusion between these two giants of the beer world.

Clear Beer is nasty (includes Coors, any Miller incarnation, Lone Star, Old Milwaukee's Beast, Bud (Ice, Lite, Dry, etc), etc.

Start with Guinness at the top and work your way down in darkness, stopping at around Newcastle... the one exception being that I can stomach is Sam Adams, and that only in moderation if no real beer is around.

I've sampled local brews in, besides the USA (too many states to list), Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, Canada, the UK, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Austria, Germany (north, south, and east), Japan, and India.

My favorite beer of all is British Bitter (the so-called "real beer" (cask) variety - meaning unpasteurized). "Bitter" is an ale. And my favorite from among those locally brewed bitters is Pedigree Bitter. You can get Marston's Pedigree Bitter bottled for wider distribution (even export, so you can probably find it in the USA), but that is not cask beer - it has been pasteurized, and it is not as good IMO.
