beer thread!

[Mars Man]

Although there is some truth in several of the claims made, it is also true that since the thread is not about 'abuse' or 'alcoholism,' it might be a very friendly thing to let us know which beers you enjoy!

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

Paul, if you wish to talk about this idea of alcholism in Japan more, please start a new thread. You made your point here, but this is the beer thread, not the alcoholism thread.

And in that vein, my favorite beers:

American: Leinenkugel's Red
Japanese: Yebisu and Suntory Malts
Sri Lankan: Lion
Mexican: Corona

 

[Paul Houghty]

Yes I see. Point taken. Thanks.

Some beers I enjoy in moderation with the boys when we get together for a friendly chat of a Saturday evening after the busy University week is over:
Kirin
Sapporo
Asahi
Suntory

I've tried Sapporo from the store and in a sushi bar. It was very bitter for me. All bitter beers taste the same to me. Coors, bud, miller.Bleh.

When I was in Japan I was a fan of Kirin Gold. It wasn't as bitter as Sapporo as far as my tastebuds were concerned.

Here in Canada I am not a huge beer drinker contrary to the stereotypical image of beer-swilling, moose-riding, hockey-playing, wooly-hat wearing Canadians you may have. I'm more of a red wine guy.

HOWEVER...

SteamWhistle
Creemore
Keiths Pale

and.. shamefully.. Molson Export, affectionately referred to as simply 'Ex' in most bars, are among my favourites. Ex is more of my 'pounding' beer, the kind you just knock back in order to get drunk. For patio sipping I generally prefer the pale ales, cream ales and light beers, not a fan of the darks and bitters.
