Those houses around his are HUGE
[quote]So after all that drinking, what was Milkovisch's favorite brand? "Whatever was on sale," Guevara says. "All beer was great. He enjoyed it all."[/quote] confirmed keystone light house

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;41682707]All beer tastes like piss[/QUOTE] No. American beer tastes like piss after pissing in a half-full waterbottle. European beer tastes like you pissed the bottle full.
pbr is better than guinness prove me wrong
[QUOTE=butre;41682760]pbr is better than guinness prove me wrong[/QUOTE] Comparison is moot, pbr is mineral water, guinness is slightly liquid bread.
[QUOTE=butre;41682760]pbr is better than guinness prove me wrong[/QUOTE] Now, you're just trying to get a rise
Mariestad is my favourite beer, i had your american budweiser and all that, tastes like water.
I wonder how much I could get from ripping the fence off and inserting all the cans into one of those bottle/can recycling doodads you see in malls.
I don't understand why so many people like Heineken. It's like the Foster's of Europe. More people in this world need to try some Kozel.
[QUOTE=qwerty000;41682572]Those houses around his are HUGE[/QUOTE] It's hard to tell but they look like apartments.
There's only one kind of beer I like and that's chilled beer.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;41682707]All beer tastes like piss[/QUOTE] Are you 12
I live 15 minutes from it and i've actually been there it was kinda underwhelming
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;41693969]Are you 12[/QUOTE] "he doesn't like beer, he must be 12" yeah ok man
[QUOTE=Samiam22;41694008]"he doesn't like beer, he must be 12" yeah ok man[/QUOTE] To say that all beer tastes like piss is a bold statement. Do you know how many types of beer there are?
[QUOTE=breakyourfac;41693969]Are you 12[/QUOTE] I'm 19 (drinking age o Canada) and I can confirm that beer tastes like piss.

American beer is shit though Its like a commonly known fact outside of america [editline]3rd August 2013[/editline] Its super weak as well
[QUOTE=Riller;41682718]No. [B]Mass produced[/B] American beer tastes like piss after pissing in a half-full waterbottle. European beer tastes like you pissed the bottle full.[/QUOTE] ftfy. My state (Michigan) just had a city in it named 'beery city USA' (grand rapids) because in my state we have an explosion of microbrewery's popping up. There are some amazing beers coming out of America, and more specifically Michigan.

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;41694057]I'm 19 (drinking age o Canada) and I can confirm that beer tastes like piss.[/QUOTE] Drinking age changes depending on which province your in, its 18 in Alberta
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;41682707]All beer tastes like piss[/QUOTE] Beer is an acquired taste. Don't disregard something as your tastes may change too.

But there are thousands of microbrews that can be found in the united states that are delicious. I love anything by Port Brewing, Green Flash, Iron Fist, just to name a few.
oh god another "i don't drink because all beer is bad, i've tried coors, it's all bad" thread try craft beer or something that costs you the entirety of your wallet and return again, beer can be fantastic, the mass-produced stuff is usually nasty. it's like saying even the finest hamburger made of perfectly-ground kobe beef patties and the freshest tomatoes is inherently bad because it's a hamburger. you're an idiot if you think so. beer can be delicious.
Why did I not predict this would become the "my alcohol preferences > yours" thread
