If you had to be another dwellar who would it be?

[Undertoad]

Yes. If there is less than 2.2% it cannot be called beer.

Meet Victory Brewing Co's "Twelve". 12% abv.

It will Fuck You Up. And it will be Mighty Tasty while it does!

[ZenGum]

Ah, a minimum strength. A much better idea.

12! Dats some strong stuff!

Beers here range from "light" <2%, through "mid-strength" 2-4%, to "full bodied" 4+%. Most are in the 4.5 to 6% range, although Coopers Vintage is a very drinkable 7.5%.

[SteveDallas]

AFAIK this is not true.

But some places have a limit on what % is allowed to be sold in grocery stores and such. The stronger ones are available, but only in liquor stores along with the hard stuff.

About 2/3rds of American beer drinkers prefer the standard American lager, while the rest of us say that's like sex in a canoe, and drink heartier, bigger-tasting stuff.

The ever-popular Bud family:

5.0% Budweiser
5.0% Bud Dry
4.2% Bud Light
5.5% Bud Ice
4.1% Bud Ice Light
4.3% Bud Select
4.2% Busch Light

Sex in a canoe? Um.....

Anyway, when I think of Australian beer, the first thing that comes to mind is Foster's. Which isn't bad, but I suspect there's better stuff out there.

I'll drink Bud usually, but if I want to splurge I go for something like Newcastle or Michelob Amber Bock.

[lookout123]

Guinness, mmmmm.
Harp, mmmm
Red Stripe, mmm. good for the beach, beyotch.

[Cicero]

Pilau is the obvious choice here, I think. Those snausages sound awesome! (and the tarts)

[Aliantha]

fosters is the stuff we sell to you lot in the US. Not too many aussies will touch it with a barge pole...unless they're really desperate. For example, if that's all that's left in the esky.

I had to wait for someone to ask, you see.

[squirell nutkin]

Where the F are you Homber?
we have Budweiser der konig auf beers which is, despite it's clarity, 5.5% and some of the nutkins drink Spaten which is 7.6% and then there is Samichlaus which is 14%.
But in Utah all bets are off...

speaking of beer

I like the wheat beers/flavored fancy pumpkin ale and apple cider beer if I am going to drink one.

There is an american beer that is black ale. It's quite a stout one I can't remember the name. I don't drink that one because I am a light weight.

I can't stand Fosters and Guinness and bud.

Corona tastes like a Miller of which I like along with Michelob.

I can't tolerate beers much because of the yeast. The yeast gives me a headache right off.

[SteveDallas]

I'm fond of a good wheat beer. But I really haven't had any beer, except for maybe a couple at a party, in years. I've been strictly on the hard stuff.

[jinx]

I like a nice girly "flavored beer". It's not really beer at all, but that's what it says it is on the label. It's the cheese food product* of beer.






* contains no real cheese

People go apeshit over Shiner and Fat Tire around here. Those two and Dos Equis are practically all you ever see. Is that stuff even available in other states?

[xoxoxoBruce]

Known as the "Little brewery in Shiner," the Spoetzl Brewery is an American brewery located in Shiner, Texas that is wholly owned by the Gambrinus Company. The brewery is most well known for producing Shiner Bock, a dark German/Czech-style beer that is now distributed in 41 states.

New Belgium Brewing Company is a regional brewery located in Fort Collins, Colorado. In 2006, it produced approximately 436,000 barrels of its various labels. Fat Tire, an Amber ale, is the company's flagship beer.
Before 2006, New Belgium distributed in only 15 states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Colorado). In Spring 2006, the brewery began to distribute some of their beers in other markets. For example, bottles of Fat Tire distributed in Chicago claim "Chicago Inaugural: The 1st Fat Tire Ale served (legally) in the second city." In June of 2007 Fat Tire, Skinny Dip (New Belgium's Summer seasonal), 1554 and Mothership Organic Wit became available in Illinois in 6 packs of 12 ounce bottles. By the summer of 2007, New Belgium expanded distribution again to include select areas of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Minnesota metro area and Iowa. As of July 2008, Fat Tire is also served in Tennessee.
