I read your comment over 3 minutes ago and I am still chuckling. That’s probably going to be the funniest thing I read all day.

Flight is a newer light beer, if you like light beer, from Yuengling. It's fantastic. Best light beer I have ever had.

And, on a side note, Yuengling's owner loves Trump and the constitution so the leftists were all over them trying to boycott.

I live near a very large military base, and because of that we have a German store in town. I can get every kind of German import you can imagine, with all the food to match up with it!

I typically just pick some big assortment of cans and just try them out. Otherwise a guaranteed beer is Bitburger.

I see that the silly IPA fad is still hanging tough. Though before the COVID I noticed that bars were starting to offer a greater variety of beers than when IPA was all the rage.

A fancy beer is a cheap way of giving yourself a treat.

It’s the male version of buying a new tube of lipstick.

Mary Kay Cosmetics has worked this angle for decades. You can’t afford a trip, but you can afford some new makeup.

I see quite a few of my faves on the list - including Sierra Nevada Pale Ale at #1 and their Hazy Little Thing at #9.

This one isn’t on the list, but when I’m in the mood for something lighter I reach for Longboard Lager from Kona Brewing. It’s sort of like Budweiser with an enjoyable flavor... so, not really like Budweiser, I guess.

Q: What does Bud Light have in common with making love on the beach?
A: It’s f**king close to water.

Molson Export was my favorite. Bud was my staple. It’s all the devil’s water now (to me).

“A beer is a beer. Who cares?”

Reminds me of an old joke...

The CEOs of Miller, Coors, Budweiser, Pabst, and Guiness were in a meeting and they all decide to go to lunch.

The waitress comes to take the drink order The CEO of Budweiser ordered a Bud. The CEO of Coors orders a Coors. The CEO of Miller orders a Miller and so on.

The CEO of Guiness orders a Coke. The other CEOs ask, “what, you are not ordering a beer?”

To which he replied, “ Well if none of you are going to”.

I like a good IPA. But IPA’s are played out, and very few of them are good anymore. I’ve had a few that tasted like Pine-Sol.

IMO the best ale that is still affordable is Chimay Blue and Red. It's brewed by some cool monks.

OMG, I'm all IPA'd out.

I used to love IPAs, the hoppier the better. Now, I'm sort of IPA'd out, too. I like the poll's choice of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. That's my speed these days. I used to love their Torpedo IPA.

Here's hoping.

Who new that a beer whose only attribute was that it was hopped up enough to survive a sailboat trip to India would catch all the hipsters' fancy.
