I had three on the list: Bell’s Two Hearted IPA, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and the old grand pappy, the World Champ since 1840, Guiness!

Several years ago, they changed the shape of Guinness bottles. I swear that when they did that, they also changed what was inside. It just didn't taste as good as it used to.

Guinness is the only beer that tastes as good (better) from a can than the bottle. The can has the nitrogen release ball that actually works and makes a noticeable improvement.

Draught is still king.

According to Wikipedia, Pabst is currently brewing Rainier beer in Irwindale, CA, and shipped more in 2023 than any year since they bought Rainier in 1999.

I moved from Oregon to Arizona in 1985. I don’t know if Rainier is sold here, but I haven’t looked for it either. Maybe I will next time I go to the store.

I have 0 beers logged from this brewery. Shame on me, their brews are in my wheelhouse of favorites. Might have to make a road-trip to NC (NC is a center of good craft breweries). No distribution for Red Oak in the Keys.

Thanks!

Nowadays I enjoy wheat beers.

According to Wikipedia, Pabst is currently brewing Rainier beer in Irwindale, CA, and shipped more in 2023 than any year since they bought Rainier in 1999.

Where are they shipping it to? I haven't seen a can of Rainier in a quarter century.

The brewery in question is near the intersection of the 605 and 210 freeways.

I like Genny , I mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with stout, very tasty! And inexpensive.

Where are they shipping it to?

You know, they forgot to tell me. Careless of them.

We like the Sierra Nevada and we drink a lot of Guiness. We tried the left hand milk stout nitro but there are others far superior in our local liquor store.

There’s a cherry chocolate stout that’s incredible. But I can’t think of the name of it and an expresso stout that’s really tasty. We drink a lot of Blue Moon and Shock Top.

One thing you find out very quickly when you go to Ireland is that most people drink Murphy’s. We drank Business the first day and then Murphy’s the rest of the trip. Occasionally you can find it in the liquor stores.

"My favorite beer is Yuengling, an old classic PA beer"
Same here! Yuengling Traditional Lager Original Amber Beer. America's Oldest Brewery.
Have a bottle standing in front of me that I'm going to have with lunch.

[Noumenon]

I like a crisp IPA on the front porch after mowing the front acre on a hot summer’s day.

[Tommy Revolts]

Yuengling is a good one. Had a few when I was in Nashville.
Can't get them here in Phoenix.

I also like Shiner Light Blonde and for a beach/pool beer their
Shiner Sea Salt and Lime. Their dark beer, Shiner Bock, is really good too.

[PJ-Comix]

Yup! I remember those Pearl Beers redesigned as generic beer. I read an article that they were one and the same and after that I drank mainly Pearl (generic) beer.

[PJ-Comix]

Brahma Beer is not listed? It sounds like beer from India but in fact it is Brazilian beer. Very popular down there. You can get at at Brazilian Steakhouses here in the states. My wife and I both agreed that it is the BEST beer we’ve had in the past few years. And now I might go to a Brazilian market to pick up a case of Brahma.

[Pilsner]

Guinness is one most highly overrated beers that I have ever had.

Draft Guinness, in Ireland, is wonderful stuff. Guinness in this country, draft or canned, varies from OK to not very good. Guinness from Nigeria, which is, or was, actually a thing, is foul.

It sounds pretentious, but it is true — draft Guinness, drank in Dublin, or Belfast, is wonderful. Don’t judge it until you have had it there.

[Woodman]

I’m not sure I even remember what a Genny tastes like, haven’t had on in about 40 years. I’ve become much more of a Lager and IPA fan over the years.

[Libloather]

Pearl Beers redesigned as generic beer.

Generic light beer - $1.50. Pearl Light - $2.50. Saved an awful lot of dollars.

[Billthedrill]

Took me through some mighty lean times.

The brand is also alluded to in Luis Valdez's play Los Vendidos in reference to the kinds of foods, drinks, and drugs on which the Mexican Johnny Pachuco model runs: "You can keep Johnny running on hamburgers, Taco Bell tacos, Lucky Lager beer, Thunderbird wine, yesca. . ." (Valdez)

Never heard of it until today.
