I keep BuschLight in the fridge. Its my everyday beer. If I go out, I order BudLight.
If its free, then its doesn’t matter. I cannot drink MillerLite, and have to force down NaturalLight.

Some people like the malts and lagers and microbrews. I never liked them.

I would ask you what your favorite wine was but it would sound like jibberish to me.
Cigars...thats a different story. I only smoke one or two cigars a week but WILL NOT skimp. I hate cheap cigars.

“I keep BuschLight in the fridge. Its my everyday beer. If I go out, I order BudLight.

- When it comes to best selling American beers, I prefer (ordinary) Miller to (ordinary) Bud. Tastes more of beer to me.

To be perfectly honest, I agree with the mainstream European attitude that Bud is very close to water (no offense).

Here in Sweden, the products of American micro breweries and other American alternatives to Bud are pretty popular. If a Swede ever tells you American beers are not comparable to North European beers, that person is probably not much of a beer drinker. Your breweries are gaining ground over here.

“I would ask you what your favorite wine was but it would sound like jibberish to me.”

- Have you ever

1. Tasted a really ‘exclusive wine’, not just an expensive one?

2. Been instructed on how to drink it?

I don’t mean to sound snobbish, but there really is this great misconception in the area of wine in our galaxy.

Most wines are plain waste of money (or close to it), especially several ones in the price range of $20-100. But there sure are exceptions.

If you bother; trust your local wine dealer and listen to what he has to say.

“Cigars...thats a different story. I only smoke one or two cigars a week but WILL NOT skimp. I hate cheap cigars.”

- I don’t smoke, meaning I do smoke, but only once in a decade or so.

So far, I’ve tried cigarettes three times in my life. Don’t think I’ll ever have a cigarette again.

On the other hand, I’ve tried a nice cigar once. Great experience, but for some reason I feel like I don’t need it in my life. But maybe I ought to reconsider.

Regards.

My favorite beer of all time is the Gordon Biersch Blonde Boch. It is very strong, very smooth, and very good with food. It is one of the few beers I can drink with a meal.

As for cigars, my favorite, every day, affordable smoke is the 420’s that I order from Cuban Crafters. They don’t travel well, so if you ever do order any, let them sit in your humidor for a couple weeks to stabilize. Also, very smooth, very nice, mild to medium body, and almost nutty flavor.

Aside from that, my primary beer of choice in my hometown (because Gordon Biersch is not available here) is Vailima. It is the lager that is brewed in Western Samoa and imported into American Samoa. And like a lot of real lagers, it can be something of an acquired taste.
