    Red Stripe beer from Jamaica is pretty good. I was surprised when I first tasted it.

    Has anyone here ever tried it?

    You drink lager!

    LAGER!

    Beer is a living thing. You can't bottle it or can it or chill it. It comes from a big barrel, is tepid, alive for a few days then it dies. You can kill it, sterilise it and bottle it, but then it's lager. We, the noble Brits, drink it before this stage, which is why we are so entertaining. Hic.

    LAGER!

    Englishman. Sheesh.

    Any beer made by a fat Belgian monk tastes superior to me. Guiness rules. Not a fan of popular American beer but I do like small breweries here that make good stuff.

    People may claim to have a favorite beer, but throw a beer tasting party sometime and see which beer wins. I've done this before and it's fun.

    Buy a bunch of those cheap plastic glasses and have everyone bring two brands of their favorite beer. Pour samples for everyone to taste and have them rate the beer from 1 to 5. Of course, don't tell them what brand they're drinking. At the end of the tasting, if you're still sober enough to add, tally the score and see who won.

    In three tastings I've done the same beer won every time. Heineken. Which surprised everybody.

    There are thousands of different "micro-brews" here in the U.S. All kinds of different types. Too many to taste them all.

    As several peole have pointed out, 'beer' is a little too wide a term...

    You have lagers, bitters, stouts, ales, plus gawd knows what else.

    As far as lager goes, then I would say Grolsch is the best, better to my taste than any main American or Canadian lager, although I have to claim ignorance of microkegs et. al. English lager is piss-water. Australian and Kiwi lagers are okay... but I've been through the entire range of lager I can get here in Holland, and Grolsch is my fave taste-wise. I hate weak insipid beers, like Sol, or Rolling Rock, and find dishwater tastes better than Michelob.

    As far as bitter goes, I think Theakston's Old Peculiar comes to mind, but there are loads of lesser known brands that could excel this.

    Rightly or wrongly, I class a lot of darker Belgian and Dutch beers as ales. Dvel is just fine, but Wetmallier (sp?) Tripple is very fine indeed. Never got into English ales, as the dress-sense of ale drinkers and their apparent inability to deal with facial hair (I worked behind a bar and you CAN tell what people are going to drink) always put me off.

    As for stout or porter, I have a slight preferance for Murphy's over Guiness.
