Add Magic Hat to that excellent list. I’m partial to their #9.

I am sober so I no longer drink but when I did I would enjoy an nice dark ale. Not everyone is a fan of the watered down back swill. haha. I can’t blame her. As much as I think she is a fantastic singer, I hope she isn’t overdoing the beer. She’s a bit hefty and already battle voice overuse injuries so she needs to take excellent care of herself.

Sounds like she’s one Pabst Blue Ribbon away from being White Trash in Trouble!

Sierra Nevada has “Old Chico Wheat” that is lager-like but has sooooooo much more flavor than a Bud/Miller/Coors.

I highly recommend it.

Cheers,

I dislike beer snobs, any variety, any nationality. I really dislike beer snobs.

She should be singing all the James Bond songs from now on. I miss the Shirley Bassey treatment to those themes.

Poseur. There’s no discernable difference between “Stella Artois” and Miller High Life.

For those of you lucky enough to live near big metro areas, I've been enjoying the brewhouse restaurant beers such as BJs Brewhouse, DuClaw's, Gordon Biersch, Stoudt's Brewing and Fox Valley Brewers. Here in Wisconsin, we have many microbrews to choose from as well. New Glarus and Sand Creek are very nice.

There are a lot of great American beers out there. Bud, Miller, and others of their ilk are not very good.

Since she is being such a anti American idiot I think they should throw a couple of six packs of Kroger Cost Cutter beer in her bus and watch the fireworks.

This full blooded patriotic American says that American beer sucks.

Except for some microbrews and some smaller regional brews the beer in this country seems like it is soda-pop made of grain and water with a little alcohol thrown in to make it worth the effort it takes to choke it down.

If she is touring all over the country, how is she supposed to know what is a good local brew? Better to play it safe.

I am partial to good German dopple bocks and schwarzbiers myself. (Try a Spaten Optimator sometime if you want to see what real beer tastes like.)

She is losing out on her wine list, though. I am not a wine person but those who are tell me that there are some very fine California wines, and some excellent NY wines.

But all in all I see no reason to take offense at her requirements.

But, she did insult California so I’ll give her a pass.

She is not worthy.

Personally I prefer (or used to, when I lived close enough to Paso Robles) Firestone Double Barrel Ale, IF it is on tap. The bottles are not the same. I'd swear it's a different beer...
