I wouldn’t drink Corona if you gave it to me free. Not because it’s bad, I have no idea, I just don’t drink yellow beer. Most american beer absolutely sucks, I won’t touch it, especially “light” beer, never heard much good about Corona so I never had any interest in trying it. When I was a drinker, it was always bottled Miller. Tried Lite once, spit it out and got a real beer. Nasty...

I’m very partial to dark beer, usually german. My favorites are Newcastle Brown Ale, which is from England, and Spaten Optimator, from Munich, Germany. Paulaner also makes a good dark one, can’t remember the name of it.

I’ve tried a few others that were pretty good, but those are the two I usually look for the 3 or 4 times a year I want to have a beer, Newcastle and Spaten.. Now if you can ever find genuine Christmas beer, or Oktoberfest, those are really good, but made only there, and only available at those times, rarely if ever found in the US of A.

I once also had a Budweiser from the original factory in Chechoslovakia.

Problem I have around here is nobody will sell a single, I have to get a 6 pack, which is expensive, so I usually only do that once, maybe twice a year, and it takes me over a week to polish off all 6.

Guiness Stout is not bad, and Lowenbrau and Heineken both make a pretty decent dark beer, but both are almost impossible to find around here. I was getting Lowenbrau dark in the Houston area 30 years ago a lot, now it seems to be gone. Heere, I can find Heineken yellow, but not dark. Still good beeer, but it can’t touch a nice dark one.

Newcastle was my favorite, before not being able to drink. I keep thinking I would try some of the non-alcoholic beer.

Spaten Optimator is the bomb! Paulaner Salvatore too
