Some of my favorite beers are also wheat beers, I love me some wheat beer..

This week when we head out on vacation we are actually going to go on a trek to find some Yuengling in Tennessee. I've heard it's good but it's not available everywhere so I want to give it a try.

The only beers I am not fond of are dark stouts never been a fan really.

The Yeungling flow in PA is endless

Personally I'm a huge fan of Victory beers, which is in Downingtown, PA. I'm sure none of you have heard of it, but if you ever get a chance. It's a delightful micro brew.

I'm in Ireland on business currently -- they have a bottled "Guinness Black Lager" which I've never seen in the states. Not your traditional Guinness at all; tastes like Boston Lager (one of my fav's). Anyone seen this in the U.S.?

Yes. They sell it in the Socialist State of Maryland.

I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

Tried something called LandShark yesterday, it was actually pretty good. I like it when my beer doesn't taste like pisswater, but I can drink cheap stuff depending on my mood.

It is pretty decent, little pricey for such a light beer imo though.

...anyway.

I found a place locally that sells Sink The Bismarck! & Tactile Nuclear Penguin.

My wallet got super light. Anyone who is seriously in to beer like a wine snob is in to wine you must seek out these beers. They aren't easy to find in the States.

Yep, because going broke buying alcohol is a totally reasonable thing to do. I don't get drunk very often anymore since i'm no longer a kid, but if I do I'd rather do it off a $6 case of Genny Cream Ale than a $15.00 case of Sam Adam's. It's more practical. I don't know why you'd want to get tanked on good beer anyways, the whole point of good beer is to enjoy it, not get wrecked and puke it all back up.

Oh. See, I don't have that problem. When I get drunk, *IF* I get drunk, I do not puke. I do not suffer from hangovers. And I can drink so much that I am no longer speaking English (allegedly it comes out as utter gibberish, like the Sims) but can still use all of my motor functions.

Yeah this. Those who know me in person on this forum in person can attest to the fact I never drink cheap beer ever. (Or to the fact I'm always drinking beer) Its simple, not all cheap beer is bad, but why would I want to drink something not as good as I can afford? And that has the sort of flavor I enjoy?

To each his own I guess, but if a beer is $6 a case (unless you confused on how many are in a case, because if its 12oz bottles its 24) I'm not going near it.

I can attest to this

Don't get me wrong, I don't drink cheap beer very often but I also don't get drunk very often. Usually I drink 2 or 3 and call it a day. Usually with dinner or when I'm watching sports. But if I know I'm going to be drinking that heavily, I'd rather drink something cheaper. Half the reason is because the more expensive beers seem to fill me up faster and it just becomes an issue of not being able to get it down fast enough without feeling sick.

Cheap beer goes down easy, some of those other heavier beers that taste good just seem to give me gut rot if I drink them too fast. Very filling.

Age has a good amount to do with this.

Lets face it, some of us have nights where were just tryin to party and get drunk. What we drink is irrelevant as long as it gets you there.

Don't get me wrong, I love good beer. But it really depends on my mood.

I don't see the point in playing beer pong with really good beer. Seems like a waste honestly.

Yeah that. I'm not using my Post Road Pumpkin Ale to play Asshole. I'm using cheap shit.

I don't get drunk on cheap beer. I can literally drink two cases of MGD and not feel a thing (except the urge to take a huge fucking piss). It is physiologically impossible for me. Between weight, body mass index, and metabolism (and also the fact that for fourteen-fifteen years I've had nothing but real beer), it would probably take a couple hundred bucks worth of shitty beer.
