do you prefer shorts?

 

[Trufflehound]

Tuppers' Hop Pocket IPA is quite drinkable if you can find it.

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

Shiner brewery in Texas produce some very quaffable beers.

Not in this weather

That's the other thing about the US - their shorts measures are massive. A couple of whiskies and you're singing A Scottish Soldier in a Glaswegian accent; half a dozen, and you're doing Krankies' impersonations.

That's the other thing about the US - their shorts measures are massive.

But if you want a full-sized pint, go to an Irish bar, otherwise you get a 16-fl.oz "pint".

US beers

not always, I've managed to find bars that do 22oz "pints" too.

As for beers, the bog standard Sam Adams is ok, Sam Adams seasonals are better (and stronger).

Heartland brewery in NY is great too

Drink your own urine. It will taste far better, and will probably contain more alcohol, than most of the brews that the yanks pass off as "beer".

When have you drunk my urine in order to make that comparison. Did I charge you?

I think it was a Monty Python joke - American beer is like making love in a canoe...f***ing close to water

Sam Adams

Stay away from anything commercial, such as miller or bud. (bud is the worst beer ever, who thinks up Bud Select......0 carbs, 0 calaries,0 taste. Why not just put a pink label on it and give it to girls?)

However, a lot of micro brews are fairly decent, as is some of the "imported" (normally from canadia) beers, which normally carry a european label, such as foster or heine.

Most bars will carry stella......its been a god send!

 

[Tiptop24]

oh, and Sam Adams light is the best light beer for flavor and taste.

 

[Eggman]

Hmm, Sam Adams.
