    If you think Blue Moon is good, Fat Tire will blow your mind. I think it's good stuff- I mean there's worlds better out there but it's still better than a lot of beer out there.

    Tonight I learned Summit's Winter Lager looks jet black like a stout and is delicious on tap. I brought a six-pack of their Great Northern Porter down to my parents' place this week and my dad was a big fan of it. I like how they are well established in the area but haven't become complacent.

    If you're looking for good American beers I can't recommend Lost Coast Great White enough. Seemingly no one has heard of it, but everyone I've gotten to try it has loved it.

    Currently drinking a bourbon county brand stout my friend gave me. Shit tastes like bourbon and beer was just sloshed together and at 14.9% is probably pushing the boundaries where a stout can be strong and still taste good. I practically have to choke this thing down.

    Super high ABV beers can be good, but from my experience anything more than 9% taste more like alcoholic syrup. I've had Avery's double beast and the rest of Avery's high ABV series, and while flavorful for a sip, its hard to drink a whole 12 ounces. For me, anything more than 8% is just hard to drink. I'd rather drink 3 5% beers, than one 15% beer.

    If thats your thing though, Avery's Hog Heaven is nice and so it The Reverend.

    I agree, I really don't get it how some beers at 10% can seem a whole lot stronger than a red wine at 13.5%. I'm into darker, heavier beers around 5-7% but the barleywines and stuff lose my interest.

    Molson XXX is some of the most vile crap I've ever tasted. If you're going for cheap and strong why not drink liquor.

    I forget... It it you guys who measure it by alcoholic volume and us by content percentage? I know it makes USA beers look less strong by comparison when really they are barely less.

    A great Molson XXX review from Beer Advocate


    It's a fine day for Malt Likkapalooza VI. The sun is up, the birds are chirping and my palate is all set for whatever these two bad boys have it store. Molson XXX is the home can today. It must be the XXX that makes popping the tab feel a little illicit, like sneaking into a peep show. I've had too many malt liquors to expect much excitement, but who knows, this one could be the best of the lot. There's only one way to find out.

    Slightly more orange than amber; the darker of these two and one of the darker malt liquors that I've seen. The three finger cap is dirtier white than Rockman's and has a fraction more character. It's also the stickier of the two, as evidenced by the impressive amount of lace. This is an attractive beer, no two ways about it.

    XXX's nose is on the pleasant side, and that's even taking style into consideration. It has a sweet graininess, a mild fruitiness and a floral hoppiness that I don't mind a bit. Interestingly, there's very little alcohol noted. An amazing feat.

    This is a better than decent malt liquor. It's sweeter, more floral hoppy, more refined and less boozy than the vast majority of its competitors, Rockman included. Alcohol is clearly noted on my second and third swallows, so I won't get too carried away. What's a malt liquor without the flavor of alcohol? I'm impressed with this one, relatively speaking.

    As is often the case, the mouthfeels are virtually indistinguishable. Both from each other and from the rest of the world's malt liquors. It favors full over medium and has neither too much nor too little carbonation. It isn't great, but then I can't think how it could be improved either.

    I'm not as thrilled with Molson XXX as I get deeper into the can. In other words, as it begins to warm up. The same changes are occuring in Rockman High Gravity, though, so this beer stays comfortably ahead in the race for the Malt Likkapalooza crown. Kudos to Molson on a hard fought victory.

    Those are a lot of words and I'm sure when I'm less drunk I will squint hard and read rhem but it took approx one sip of yhat vile, putrid, shit-stain, cancerous, abomination of heavn and earth degreaser to keep my opinion in stone.

    To be fair I haven't had it in a decade and it might just be I had some good times with it in school that makes it seem better than it was. I do know that I prefered it to Mickey's.


    That said I'll stick by the Molson Canadian, I like that beer a lot, just can't find it down here.

    Molson Canadian is a good post hockey beer. Hell sometimes I buy a sixer of it. Some people drink Miller, Bud, my cheap beer is Molson.

    It's here in Michigan along with Labatt Blue/Blue Light. I saw shitloads at Meijer. Along with a 65 year old woman wearing a Swastika medallion/necklace like she won it at the Olympics. That was a new one.

    Oh I know its in Michigan, having spent my first 24 years there is where I learned to like it. Now in NC its hard to find, Art Pope most likely outlawed it.

    Is MGD cheap in the States, or are you talking about the other Miller beer that shalt noteth by named?

    Snd I hate to re-trummpet early, but Bud..... That's a magic bullet mystery. IT'S PEE. Why??? How many "cheap beers" are more palatable, lke a billion?

    MURICA. As long as there's Clydesdales and flags blowing in the commercials you would drink brew fermented innside a hobo 's asscrack.

    EDIT: just so you know I know who Art Pope is and I charge you to beat him too dath with a tube socck filled with deck screws

    Crown, aren't you the guy who said he drinks Zima? I thought we agreed you aren't allowed to have opinion about beer.

    Hey Crown, aren't you the handsome douchebag who uses sarcasm?l

    Why yes, all those things. Sol and Zima? Are you fucking kidding me? Do I have tits? Not with guns to my family's heads would I drink that vaginal discharge from a hooker.

    I've never seen pictures of you so I don't feel like I can adequately answer that question. I'm not addressing the next sentence because it's really gross.
