I don't mind a wheat beer, I just don't like the orange flavor that Hoegaarden has (orange peel and corriander is used to flavor it).

Personally, I like Leffe Blonde, Warsteiner, Palm, Brand (not available in the US yet) and have enjoy good German beers that I tried while over there years ago.

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]:| Beer is supposed to be bitter stupid. Order a tequila sunrise or Fruli if you want something sweet.WhiteKnight77

So a Jamacian, Dutch, Australian and a couple of Canadian beers are American swill? I am sure that the respective brewers of those beers will be glad to hear that.

I went to a bar and a girl ordered me a drink but I requested a straw so its easier to swallow (its pretty bitter). The girl was looking at me weird all I said was its a lot easier to drink

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"]You are wrong and and all beer is bitter. There is nothing bitter about a Belgian Trippel or a Porter. All most mainstream Americans know though is the yellow, fizzy industrial stuff that has no complexity or flavor outside of bland bitterness. (Bud, Miller, Coors, Molson, Red Stripe, PBR, Labatt, Fosters, Heineken, etc, etc, etc.) Some are getting better though. Now if we could only get them away from the fake craft stuff like Blue Moon, Shock Top and Leinenkugels.Murderstyle75

Have you ever been to Holland? I have seen the Dutch drink Heineken. Heineken does not have any breweries in the US so yes, it is imported, even if from a bewery in Mexico and it is still brewed according to the way it is brewed in The Netherlands.

At one time, any beer that was imported into the US was regulated to 3.2% alcohol. Regulations have changed some over the years to allow stronger beers to be imported into the US from other countries, hence the explosion of different beers into the US. I remember when Heineken was considered p***water compared to US brands due to that fact. US beers were stronger. Working for a brewing company lets one learn much about policies regarding alcohol. Knowing someone who was part owner of a small local brewery also helps. They have some pretty good beers.

Only if it's a silly straw.

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] They are foreign imports marketed to Americans. People in those countries don't generally drink that shit and it is all classified as American Adjunct Lager. Red Stripe is not a Jamican beer. Only brewed there. And for the record, Molson & Coors is the exact same company. You guys are fools for marketing campaigns and the catchy story on the bottle. Even with other crappy popular styles. Do you really think American Guinness is brewed in Dublin Ireland like real Guinness? Its made in Ontario Canada by Labatt. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/221/6 http://www.molsoncoors.com/en/Index.aspx http://beeradvocate.com/beer/style/38Murderstyle75

[QUOTE="chaoscougar1"] How many do you know?chaoscougar1

I don't see the point in throwing anecdotal evidence around.  But I think I can safely assume that there is at least one woman in the roughly 3.5 billion on the planet who has, at some point, consumed beer through a straw.  

Yeah
You're approach is much better

I knew a girl that always drank hers "on the rocks"

it was rare for people to make a comment but she did get looks sometimes when she asked for ice cubes in her beer.

This guy truly knows his shit. 

I wish there was more good craft beer in America. Thankfully, we do at least have Sierra Nevada. And I live right up the road from the brewery. Place has a sweet restaurant, and a bar that serves like a dozen beers they make there, that they don't bottle, and are only available at the brewery bar/restaurant. Love that place.

That is unusual. I would have said that I went to the dentist and had my teeth cleaned or something. Atleast you're honest...bitches love honesty.

I don't get drunk faster drinking beer with a straw though.stonecold611

[QUOTE="m25105"]Man up and drink from the bottle.Murderstyle75

If proper glasses are available for the beer being drunk (as in different glasses for each particular beer), it is one thing, but if I am going camping or to a party, I am not carrying glasses with me that could end up broken. My Heineken Extra Cold glass is different than my Palm glass which is different from my Brand glass which is different from my Westmalle Trappist and Emelisse glasses. Even my pilsner glasses are different from the others. Most people do not have the right glasses for beer. I would rather drink my beer from a brown bottle than a can any day, or a plastic cup. Aluminum imparts a taste into beer. 

And yes, I know all about how light interacts with beer and how it can get skunky. 

How is this thread still going? I think we all know the can is the definitive way to dispense beer into your mouth.

The only time a straw is OK with beer is if you're wearing one of those Foam-Dome hats.

[QUOTE="coolbeans90"]

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] True and even cigarettes have health benefits. I think the big problem though is all the nasty chemicals the government allows into our cigarettes as well as some they force into our cigarettes. http://www.livescience.com/15115-5-health-benefits-smoking-disease.htmlMurderstyle75

That is some pretty shoddy statistical analysis.

Man up and drink...no straw.
