When we were in London a few years back, we ducked into pretty cheesy pub to get out of the rain. I was fascinated by the taps for perhaps a dozen British Isles beers with which I was unfamiliar. When I asked the young bartender for a recommendation, he said "Stella."

Either he was a dumbbell, or he heard my American accent and figured me for a dumbbell who wanted the closest thing to Bud Light.

Had this the other day for the first time.
Three Philosophers. I didn't like it at all. I don't get the appeal here.

7% alcohol though.

Shiner Bock is some vile shit. I have no idea how it has managed to carve out a place for itself as a popular "craft beer," because it tastes like sweaty taint. It can make a decent BBQ sauce though. ("it" meaning Shiner Bock; I've never tried to make a BBQ sauce from taint sweat . . . but drop me a line if your birthday is coming up)

Heineken is nasty piss-water, but it's convenient for profiling when you're out on the town.

There aren't any domestic macros that I enjoy, but I generally don't find one more offensive than another.

Among the respected craft brews, I just can't get into Dogfish Head Shelter Pale Ale.

Fuck this bear. He's an asshole.



I really don't like that bear.

Dude, that's not bad stuff at all.
Not by any means.

Bought a six pack of Steinlager earlier this year. There's a Chills song about this beer, a song they wrote in the hope of getting free bottles and glasses of it. Well, I like this song. A lot. And I love The Chills. So I decided to give Steinlager a shot, figuring it must be good if the mighty Martin Phillips penned a song about it.

Boy, was I disappointed.

Sure, it didn't taste so great, but more unsettling was the fact that drinking Steinlager felt like a nonexperience. A nonexperience I paid nearly ten bucks for.

This is a weird. Lots of people love this stuff, I always feel like there must be something wrong with me, but it makes me thirsty and it goes beyond pleasantly hoppy into some sort of sad empty bitter experience. Love the label, though.

I just had Gubernija Grand 95 Extra Lager. "The Ninja." It's from Lithuania.

This shit is horrible. It starts with a heavy rubbing alcohol flavor, moving to old corn syrup, with a dead mouse finish.

Every malt liquor I've had is better than this. Every home brew I've ever had is better than this. This shit will make a man Straight Edge.

And this is bad, you say?

Wait, I misread "old corn syrup" as "cough syrup." Old corn syrup DOES sound gross.
