Guinness is of course a stout, if you like the style I'd recommend trying other stouts. Also look into trying porters, the style is similar. I've heard hate from beer snobs but I actually like Guinness for what it is. You can do better though. Also, some stouts (especially Imperial stouts) will probably be too much for you at first and may turn you off to the style.

Recommendations:
Sierra Nevada Stout
Sierra Nevada Porter
Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro
Black Butte Porter
Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout

These should be relatively easy to find, moderately priced, and fairly inoffensive to new stout drinkers.

I hope I can someday travel to Europe to try all of your regional beers. Like I said my opinion of European beer is tarnished because most of the stuff is skunked to shit and old by the time I buy it. I'd also imagine we are getting the really good stuff imported over here, just the big name beers. We've got tons of regional delicious craft brews here that you guys don't get, I'm sure you guys have the same thing going on.

For sure sure, but I think the movement started in the US. We didnt use have that many microbreweries actually, but now we have 138 and more are coming. Many of those are really small though, like 1 or 2 guys brewing and bottling it themselves(filling them up manually even) and only selling to a select few pubs and restaurants.

Alright now I can reply. From what I've heard I was expecting some absolute undrinkable swill. It isn't bad at all, in fact I can barely taste anything. Its like cold carbonated water with a very faint corn and malt flavor. I'm enjoying it, for what it is. It isn't good either though, its just tasteless and easy to drink. I can see why so many people who aren't into craft beer drink this stuff, its beer for people who don't want to taste any beer and just get drunk for cheap.

Honestly I'm not a beer snob. I would like to be rich enough to only ever buy the good stuff but I'm not so don't look down on cheap stuff. Hell I drink PBR, Old Milwaukee and Modelo on the reg. But Bud Light is just disgusting. The last time I drank it was at a game since that's all they had. I honestly thought about getting a pepsi instead.

Bud/Miller/Coors Lite/Light can go fuck themselves.

Exactly.

Bud light tastes like absolutely nothing. If there's a generic can marked "beer" in some form of media I assume it would be full of bud light.

Also
>Bud light
>Cheap
If you ever do the math on canned beer versus kegs, or versus other types of alcohol, you wanna basically kill yaself. Canned/bottled beer is at such a premium.

Meh, it seemed really cheap. I think I paid like $1.80 for it, pocket change really. I have no problems paying $10+ for a bomber of some glorious beer, to me the $1.80 was practically giving it away. It tasted like San Peligrino water and didn't even touch the glory of those expensive bombers, but goddamn it was pretty OK for being less than $2.

why does bud light stay carbonated so long as opposed to craft and import alternatives?

I'm drinking bud light that was poured (and refrigerated) 3 hours ago. It's from a draft as you might have guessed from the context of the question.

Craft beer doesn't stay carbonated this long.

Riddle me that, batman.

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 22 23:54:12 2013 No.4890735 >>4890700 Because it has more carbon dioxide in it. You're technically paying for more gas than actual product which is probably another reason why budlight can be manufactured for cheaper.

Man, bud light is the only beer I just refuse to drink. It tastes like the can it comes in I guess because its so light? But Ill drink coors light occasionally and its not as bad. My favorite beer besides the ridiculous shit i make myself has got to be Third Shift and Shiner Boc as a second.

I found a really nice recipe that's similar to eggnog - similar spices, added sugar, etc. - but uses beer instead of liquor. The problem is it calls for blonde/golden ale, I'm a beer noob, and while I live in a state that's great for micro and craft brews (NC) I don't live close by to anything.

What would you guys recommend that's readily available in most grocery stores?

If you don't mind a smokey flavour, try to get your hands on anything made by Aecht Schkenkerla. Their beers are generally pretty solid, and their rauchbier urbock is truly excellent. If you can imagine a thick, full mouthfeel, a malty, smokey aroma, a roasty, dry, somewhat salty, smoked malt flavour all in a perfect balance, that's Aech Schlenkerla's Rauchbier Urbock. It's like a campfire in your mouth screaming for porcine treats on the side. This thing might just be in your comfort-zone.
