We drink Yuengling, Rolling Rock (that may change, Bud bought them out...which just is the pits).

We normally will split a glass of the local brews when out....nothing seems to be consistant though.

A-B bought Rolling Rock?!?!? Say it ain't so!

That is just sad.

Sigh....we had gone to a few Rolling Rock Town Fairs.....great concerts.....good solid beer (that didn't give either Ron or myself bad headaches as some do).....now it just is another marketing tool.

***heavy sigh***

That is terrible. Yet ANOTHER reason to hate Budweiser.

(j/k)

Yuengling is my preferred "mass-produced"
Sam Adams is my usual "micro-brew"
Anchor Steam Christmas is the best bottled domestic I've ever tasted.
My favorite is the one in my hand. ("Come to Daddy...")

Yah. I'm with ya.
Sammie probably puts out more than a Case-Western freshman on homecoming weekend. But their recipe started out as a micro, whereas Yuengling started out as a mass-pro. Interesting occurence of reality setting in.

Here's my top 3 in no particular order (and all brewed in Pennsylvania!)

East End Brewing's Blackstrap Stout

Being a beer geek, I could come up with at least another half-dozen. but these are the current faves.

oh yeah... now, if you could just arrange to ship a couple sixers to KW...

Leinie's Sunset Wheat (http://www.leinies.com) for me./

Actually all their beers are good.

Miller bought them, at Leinie's request, in order to stay afloat and give them a larger distribution network. They still don't have distributors in every state so it is hard to get it west of the MIss.

Mary Popins and Nanny Mc Phee

Cold...

Stone IPA
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA

In which country?



Bahamas


Jamaica


Honduras


Mexico

A tie between Smuttynose, Harpoon, and Sam Adams (and yes Sam Adams is not a microbrew).

Ha!
Good one, El.
We forget that BN is a multinational concern.
(Creeky's favorite domestic might be my favorite import...)
btw - anybody had a Molson Brador lately? It was good beer twenty years ago when it was only available as an import.

Labatt's seems to be considered domestic here, that has to be my favorite super common (around here) beer.

Yuengling's great, but I don't think they sell it in Michigan.

Fat Tire out of Colorado Springs was the first beer I actually liked, but it's been so long since I've had one that I can't remember what it tasted like.

I love Rogue Hazelnut, but only on tap.

(I did snicker bravedave!)

Cold

Shiner Dunkelweizen , the Old '97 is good....

Mrs. TR is pretty domestic. I'll take her
