Getting drunk off blue moon is laughable......thats the kind of beer you drink a a few of and move on to the next beverage. Its too sweet.

mirror pond pale ale from dechutes brewery, a very tasty beverage with enough kick to get the job done.

In my early drinking days I used to drink this shit called Molson XXX. It had 7% alcohol and it fucked you up good but tasted like bad cough medicine.

Not sure if they still have it but if they do stay away.

i can't believe how many people have said blue moon.  i'm shocked really.  it is a wheat beer, and not even the best wheat beer at the bar.  i personally think that blue moon is very very .

Why hasn't anyone just listed the standard euro beers?  they are all good...

Harp, Bass, Stella, Pilsner Urquell, Heine, Smithwicks, Peroni, Becks,

or just get some of the other mass produced "micro" brews... Anchor Steam, Magic Hat, Brooklyn, Sierra Nevada

I like the asians too... sapporo, tsingtao, kirin, and more...

Thank you.  Blue Moon sucks.  I can't believe it got popular.  It's just a fad, like anything else.  Back when I was bartending, the distributors tried to push it on us, it didn't fly, no one liked it and it was pulled in about a month.  Then, 5 or 6 years later I move to Las Vegas and see it's popular and find out it's popular all over....huh??  I don't get it.

Gunners- I agree with all the other beers you listed as well.  Hieneken was the first beer I mentioned in the earlier post.

W hile we all love the taste of beer, it's the alcohol content thats responsible for beers standing in most societies. Its the alcohol content of beer that makes it the number one social lubricant.

     The alcohol content of beer is generally denoted by the "percent alcohol by volume", or % ABV. "Percent alcohol by wieght", % ABW, could also be used. It's easy to convert between them. ABW = 0.8 × ABV.

     Beer's alcohol content varies between about 3% ABV to about 12% ABV. However there are some outliers. "Low alcohol beer", also known as "non-alcoholic beer" contains less than 1% ABV. The strongest beer ever made was the Hair of the Dog Brewing Company's barley wine named "Dave", which was 29% ABV.

     The type of beer plays a large role in the alcohol content. While it's not exact, if you know the type of beer you can generally estimate how much alcohol you will be imbibing.

     This is an important skill to have. For instance if you go to a pub and all your friends are drinking pale ales, and you start ordering barleywines; if you try to keep up with them, you might not make it out of the pub without being carried. The following chart will help in these situations:


%ABV
Lager4 - 5
Pilsner Lager3 - 6
Wheat (Weissbier)4 - 5
Porter4 - 5
Bitter (ESB)3 - 7
IPA (India Pale Ale)5 - 7
Stout5 - 10
Double (Dubbel)6.5 - 9
Tripel (Trippel, Triple)7.5 - 9.5
Barleywine8 - 12

I thought of this thread tonight... visited my sister and my brother-in-law, they always have beer but never drink it so I got 2 six packs from em!  What a selection too!!

2 of each...

Miller Lite
Leinenkugels Summer Shandy
Blue Moon
Dos Equis
Sierra Nevada
Yuengling



I drank one of each (minus the miller) tonight while enjoying the Chicago + Over game.  I don't know what I enjoyed more... making $1800 while sitting on my ass watching a great hockey game, or the BEER!  Beer heaven!!!

Summer Shandy - yummy, but pretty sweet... lemony...VERY refreshing
Blue Moon - an old fav of mine, but Im sorta tired of the wheat ales as a whole
Dos Equis - I have had this before and enjoyed it very much, but I was blown away tonight for some reason... part of it might be because I was very thirsty and it was the first one but DAMN that is some great beer!  Not a lot of flavor or complexity, but it is more refreshing than water itself.  Very crisp, clean taste, doesn't have a strong 'beery' taste but at the same time it doesn't seem watery and isn't pissy.
Yuengling - a local classic.  great lager.

Yum!

Was that a "streetcar named desire" reference?

The big boy American brewing companies all capped all their regular beer at 5% about seven years ago.  As in Anheuser-Busch, Miller Brewing Co, Coors Brewing Co..all their regular, non-light beer is 5% alcohol.  Before that, it varied.  Why they got together and changed all at once, only they know (I could guess).  The alcohol content of light varieties of their beers still varies.

GL with the getting hammered thing ...but make sure after success, while still very drunk, come back here and give us a full report.


Heineken...fuck that shit...Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!

I had about 10 pints of Smithwicks last night, it seemed to do the trick.


Oh, and for all you wankers, it's pronounced "Smit-icks".

I don't know what all the angst is re. Blue Moon.  I'll drink that in a second on a 90+ degree humid day....nothing more refreshing....except maybe a Leinie Summer Shandy. 
 
I also love Guiness, Becks, Bass, etc. 
 
I think it's hilarious....all the testosterone surrounding beer.  What does it matter what someone likes.  You don't like asparagus....I love it.  It's no different here.  So it's 5% instead of 6%....you drink 10 rather then 9. 
 
I even drink Sam Adams Cherry Wheat in the summer....sorry, but it's 35 times more refreshing after a few hours on the boat in the sun then a Guiness is.  And I'm not apologizing for it.

And I've drank a case of beer in a day before so it's not like I haven't put a few back in my day.
