Favorite is Sam Adams. Leinenkugel Creamy Dark, regular, and red are also favorites. Also like Guiness and Killians. For a cheap domestic, its regular Budweiser. I also just discovered Shock Top, it is a very tasty spiced beer.

I just don't like lite/light beer. It tastes like crap and actually makes me sick worse than any kind of alcohol. Sam Adams Light is not bad though.

Not a big fan of fruit beers either, but the Leiny's Weiss line is pretty decent.

Motel Beer.
My wife works as a maid whatever she brings home LOL. Usually save the cans for marinating ribs or brisket. My favorite though would have to be Singha from Thailand.

Here are some of my favorites:

Leinenkugel's Honey Weiss
Blue Moon
Grain Belt Premium
Corona w/ real lime

Haha, so true. I'm a big fan of shizzngigglze honey berry lager myself

Budweiser, what else?

Oh, I forgot about Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark (thanks for the reminder!)... but you have to try and find it on tap. Incredible!

Sam Adams
Heineken(spent some time in germany and besides german beer, this seemed to be the popular beer)
The two strongest beers I have had have been from Spain and Canada. I think the one from spain was 12% alcohol or something.

Is Leinenkugel a regional beer? I've never heard of it.

My beer of the moment is Newcastle...and even more appealing in a frosty mug!!

I do like almost any beer though...Except for most fruit beers.

Its brewed in Chipewa Falls, WI. I'm not sure if its nationally distributed though. I'm guessing its mainly available in the Midwest.

Since Miller Lite bought it, I think they've spread out quiet a bit. Maybe not to the coasts quiet yet.

Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark

Sounds tasty! I'll have to put it on my list.

My friends and I get together and have Oktoberfest in late September or early October. We have many brews to taste and German and Austrian food to eat. Some beer is home brewed while others are from Germany, Japan, the United States, Canada, or just about any place that makes beer, and that includes many places.

We used to do it every year, but now we only do it once every few years. that's really too bad, because it has always been a good time.

We do have a wine fest from time to time, but that can get expensive. It is a good opportunity to find some good cheap wines as well. One never knows what will show up uncorked at the table.

Ever had Charles Shaw? They sell it at Trader Joe's (couple locations in the cities, lots around me in Chicago) for $2 or $3 a bottle, hence the nickname
"two buck chuck". It's not in the same class as truly great (and expensive) wines, but it's pretty good, especially when you consider it's priced similar to Boone's Farm and Franzia.

However, not all expensive wines are that great. I have found that people buy the expensive wines when they want to impress someone that they are having over. When they don't do this they usually buy the cheaper stuff.

Maybe enjoying wine and beer is something that comes with age.

I can't stand any beer I've ever tried. It just doesn't taste good. Wine is pretty much the same though it's certainly more tolerable than beer.
