US beer is crap

[OCC-402]

damn you canadians! you and your good hockey players and copious amounts of pot, ACCEPT YOUR PLACE AS THE 51ST STATE OF AMERICA! WE WANT YOUR OIL AND YOUR WOMEN AND WILL TAKE THEM BOTH WITH OUR LARGE AMERICAN PENISES!!

[Iceberg]

OCC-402, what "large American Penises"?

You guys drink 3.2% alc/vol beer. How the heck do you guys have large penises if you drink so sissy beer?

Ice,

Gonna have to disagree with you here. There are only a few places in the US that have 3.2 beer (the entire state of Utah is the only place that comes to mind, but I know there are other places in the south). Here in Wisconsin we have some great local breweries (forget Miller, its pisswater) that are as good as any beer, anywhere! :)

Many people aroung the world agree with me! Here's my favorite beer (Spotted Cow, yummmmmm!):

And here are some of the awards the brewery has received:

If we know anything in Wisconsin, its beer (and brats)! ;)

[Cman]

Only thing I know about Wisconsin is anything I've seen on That 70's Show :lol:

Also you like to wear cheese on your head.

[mindido]

CMan,

Can't say that I've ever really watched that show. The only thing that I know about it is that their lead in song is by a band I used to roadie for a long time ago. And they're from just south of the border in Illinois.

And yes, we do wear cheeseheads occasionally. Mainly during Packer games but occasionally when we're flying in small planes (they provide great head protection in the event of a crash).

And if you ever get the chance, you've gotta try that Spotted Cow. Really good stuff.

Mindido's right about the beer (much to my chagrin)...I went to Wyoming all set to harass them there cowboys about drinking water which they call beer (3.2) and it's the same as here...Except! Even with the exchange rate on our dollar (and what you would expect to be import taxes into the States), a twelve pack was about two bucks less than here!...oh well, Canadian beer still tastes better anyway :D

Now on to another point...

Just go and vote!

Shoot I know that one. I don't think it was Churchill Red Horse...but I don't have the answer. Lemme check on that one.

Red Horse,

You aren't talking about Coors are you? I hope not, that stuff is even worse than Miller! If so, I may need to reevaluate some of the good things I've heard about Canadian beer. :)

[Cman]

I actually don't mind Coors. Its what I normally drink when I'm in the US and "have to" drink American beer. They are affiliated with Molson now (merger or something), so I kind of feel like less of a traitor that way haha

[mindido]

CMan,

Coors??? Ugh. That stuff really is like drinking water. The only beer I can think of that is worse is the stuff they make in New Orleans (or at least used to), sorry, can't remember what its called off hand. Gonna have to get you some really good beer.

[Cman]

LOL don't worry, we have lots of good beer up here. I don't need any. I never drink non-canadian beer while at home ;)

[mindido]

CMan,

Well, I don't know? I'm a bit concerned if you really like that Coors stuff. We may need to get you a good education on really good beers. :)

[Red Horse]

Mindido,
Sorry, what I meant was that they had proper 5% and up beer like the norm is here in Canada...I was under the misconception that pretty much all beer in the States was 3.2% :D

Red Horse,

Oh, OK. There are a few places that have that 3.2 crap but thankfully, they are few and far between. Quite a few years ago I was in Utah and drank some 3.2 Heineken (which I normally really like), man, that was really bad.

Actually Red Horse pretty much all beer in the States is 6%. In some states, you can buy that 3.2 crap in the grocery stores on days or during hours they aren't supposed to sell the real stuff. Weird I know, but this is the country of Prohibition ya know....

[mbblue27]

Canada's drinking and gambling age is 19 and that kicks ass
I went to Casino Windsor last friday and hit for $750 on a slot machine while silly drunk:)

I'll be turning 21 in 2 weeks though so I won't have much need for canada after that

Ha! Grocery stores?...and the corner store?...Forget Prohibition, we still have ONLY the Beer Store and the LCBO (Ontario liquor store) where you can buy it (because we Canucks can't be trusted to maybe get a six pack without permission from the government...on our own buying adult beverages we might get, god forbid, impolite or something...)

[der_ht]

LOL


DRINKING AGE IN GERMANY IS SIXTEEN (16)

[Got H22?]

I really do hate a lot of the beer that comes from.....well.....a lot of places....but mainly anything that is lower than 5.9% because its just not my style. Ill drinik just about anything ice brewed or anything thats a heavy malt beverage like 211 or Hurricane....Yeah, they taste like shit but it takes a lot less to get drunk....plus you can get that shit cheap and in large quantities.....But if im just sippin on beer ill take a Miller High Life anyday.....You can have your Samuel Adams and your Budweiser Select but who are you fooling, under it all its the same ingredients and that same asstastic taste......

[tommyboy]

For those who claim American beer is for pussies, I challenge you to drink a 12 pack of Steel Reserve 211. I myself, have long realized that if you are drinking to get drunk, sipping on a cold brew is not the way to go (whether it's "pussy" american beer, or crappy canadian beer). This is why I, and other hoosiers like myself choose to drop a shot of whisky in our beers (aka "boilermakers"). But you Canucks, with your gay marriage and what not, probably dont know anything about that. GO USA!

[Gibson]

Right. Some of us support gay marriage, so we obviously know nothing about mixed drink.

Sipping beer will get anyone drunk; it just depends on how fast you sip.

Manitoba and Quebec, I think. As if regulations have ever stopped minors from getting booze anyway.
