Thinking about all the beer's I've drank over the past 30yrs.
Domestic only, no desinger, aka Sam Adams or Lite B.S.

Hamms
Budweiser
Miller High life
Schlitz
Old Style
Rolling Rock
Old Chicago
Sthrohs
Coors
Hubers
Buckhorn
Grain Belt
Meister Brau
Leienkugels
Point
Falstaff
PBR

I'm not sure any of those are beer.

In more ways than one

Budweiser isn't domestic. Owned by In-Bev based in Belgium so anything made by them isn't domestic either.

Miller isn't domestic. Owned by SABMiller based in the United Kingdom so anything made by them isn't domestic either.

Coors isn't domestic. Owned by Molson Coors based in Canada so anything made by them isn't domestic either.

You izzzzzz beery smart

OP didn't state that his Budweiser/Miller/Coors consumption was pre-buy out. Assumed he didn't realize that Budweiser isn't "murican".

Hey, When it comes to Cheese-heads and Beer, You best be specific.

You guys are messing up this thread. If you don't fix it now this thread will die on the vine. Cut and paste the list in front of your post, so others can add to it as it goes on, and on, and on, and on . . .

I don't drink very much very often so I don't have to rationalize saving money by drinking beer that belongs back in the horse it came from.

Sam Adams varieties (Winter Lager, Cream Stout, others) have been my favorites for a long time. Last summer one of my gal friends introduced me to Shock Top. It goes damn good with her style of cooking.

Quityer bitchin. Those beers are brewed in the US of A. With all the blather about jobs being shipped out of country, you ought to be glad for these.

Most domestic US beer is hardly beer at all, but it's all that lots of poor souls know. And there are some pretty darn good ones, too. Sam Adams, Yuengling, Shiner and several more breweries turn out beers that would stand up to the best anywhere.

You've missed the most famous cowboy beer of all - Keystone.

Not all that I've drank but the ones I choose to drink today...

Blue Moon
Sierra Nevada
Summit

Way, waaayyyy back there was Olympia.....

Didn't know there was any other than PBR and Utica Club.

I wasn't bitching - just stating that if a person REALLY wants domestic, it's not Bud/Miller/Coors if they hold the same standard to their beer as they do their truck. Remember for most you can't buy a Toyota, even if it is made in the USA because the money goes back to Japan - remember?

Here's a list (for those interested) of the World Beer Cup for 2012. WBC 2012

Note - lots of American brewed beers on there that are winning in Euro/regional traditional styles.

American breweries and craft breweries specifically make the best beer in the world IMO. The US isn't constrained to one style - we do other styles better than the places where they were invented in many instances.

All I asked was about beers's from one's drinking past. Not who the [bleep] took over the brewing right's etc.
It's no wonder why past members quit this web site.

Too many to remember but some I would prefer to forget...

I'm sure some more forgotten.....

Damn Hawk!

atta boy hawk!

Y'all forgot the one that tastes like hot dog piss smells.

Billy Beer.

Gunner

All borrowed....

Before my time, thank God!

And Schaeffer. [barf]

Gunner

Someone already mentioned it.

Ooops, missed it.

Gunner

Mine too legally, but Dad took me out on the porch at 14 years and taught me to drink beer, I was doing pretty good till he threw down a pack of marlboros and a zippo. LOL

Gunner

Forgot Hy-Vee Regal and Regal Light....and Hiland Lager, but I think its Schells crap....

The only good beers that I've had in the past 10 years have been craft beers. I especially like the Porters, Barley Wines, and Abby Ales. American pilsners are like water.

Aaah, the old "get 'em sick and he'll think twice" trick.

Dad bought me a can of Cope when I was six, "fer huntin'".

I chew a can a day. Quit for a year, started agin'....

Dads...

Well When I started drinking beer, when I was old enough to Rolling Rock was what I drank, Then when I when to Texas to Flight School I drank Coors, Now I don't drink much of anything, never was much of a drinker, but when I do, I like Sam Adams, Blue Moon, Alaska Amber when I am up in Alaska. But mostly I would just rather have a cup of tea. Funny thing is that my father was a Distiller. And he once owned the only Still in CT.

Pappy said, I know yer gonna do it so drink up, know how much ya can handle, then maybe you wont get out and kill someone or yerself.

I sure as chit dont smoke cigs. LOL

Gunner

LOL GMSemel, same here, I may drink 3/4 times a year, but will drink like a dehydrated fish again at the 24HR Boar hunt this spring.

Gunner

Me either.


Forgot Blue Poon/Fat Tire....Yuck! Dirge!

Blue Poon sounds like something that would cause a Flat/Fat Tire.

Gunner

New Glarus (more taphandles in WI than Bud and sold more than Michelob - consider it a major)
PBR
Schlitz
Sam Adams

Bunch of "domestics" that aren't anymore and a bunch of imports as well

Had my first beer at about age 8. A Bud, IIRC. Knocked me silly. Been silly enough since then to drink a lot more, too.

Have had all those on the first list way up there, and maybe that many more again. Enjoyed most of them, wanted to forget a few but haven't been able to, unfortunately. Among the worst were the rusty pallets of hot Carling Black Label they had for us in 'Nam, and that horrible stuff called Genesee in upstate New York.

Other sad examples
Pearl
Keystone
Falstaff

None of them hold a candle for awful compared to the genuine Vietnamese "33" beer, though. It actually had formaldehyde listed in the ingredients.

I like beer. Alot. Ive tried many,many varieties, and I m not one to put down what another likes. My absolute favorite is Sam Adams Oktoberfest. For like a dessert type, Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout. Massive quantity, Molson Canadien.
The answer to the original, oh God, my Grandpa kept Kingsbury on the porch, we drank it very young. We also drank Schmidt, Goebels, Walters, Rhinelander,Buckhorn, Peoples,.... I m getting a head ache just thinkin about all that crap. There are many more

No one quits this place, they just get run off for being mean....

Oh my it's Bom-de-bom, you didn't hit the ole Pink Palace out by Phan Rang I hope?

I like Keystone, 30 stones, $18.00. The best part about Keystone and Coors or Coors Light is 12 of them fit tight in a tall .50 cal ammo Can, where as normal shaped cans you can only get in 10

Makes sense, the best part of those beers certainly wouldn't be flavor.

I've probably had at least 95% of the beers listed on this thread plus some more. I'm mostly Norwegian and like most Norskis have never met a beer I couldn't drink--though some are preferred over others.

Back when I was 20 or so and living in South Dakota there used to be a REALLY cheap beer brewed in Minnesota called Cold Springs. You could buy a 12-pack of 11-ounce bottles for about the same price as a 6-pack of Schmidt. Didn't usually do that unless times were tough, but it beat no beer at all.

These days I'm kind of an IPA snob--unless there's no IPA.

If I must go cheap I'll take a Miller High Life, as cold as I can get it.

There are beers I'd skip, even if free. Heineken Light is one, genuinely bad beer.

Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA is pretty tough to beat.

Lot of flavor and it gets you where you want to go.

Steve

Torpedo is a real good one.

Yeah, I really like Torpedo too.

There's a local small-brew IPA that's real good too called Tumbleweed. As a matter of fact I'm drinking one right now.

I'm about to crack open a Full Sail IPA.

Full Sail works too....

Oops, I'm out of that one. Had to settle for a Newcastle Winter IPA. Not really an IPA to my palate, but an interesting variation on Newcastle.

Please explain a winter IPA!

My understanding is that IPA originated because the extra hops helped keep it from spoiling in the hot weather of India during the Raj.

Do we still have the "Buy a Whiny Poster a New Bib" fund in play.

....I think "whodat" just spit up on himself.

GTC

THAT is some FINE brew,....isn't it ?

GTC

I thought most all beers tasted relatively close to the same, that is until I hoisted a pint at the Guinness factory in Dublin last spring.

That was a BEER awakening.

Gunner

Fresh Guinness on draft is something.

Believe it or not I had it for the first time in an Irish pub in Sondheim, Norway 15 years ago. It ain't far across the North Sea between Ireland and Norway, as the Vikings proved many centuries ago.

There are some other fine Irish stouts, though not as many as there used to be due to the Guinness domination. I liked Beamish a lot as well.

Somebody in Newcastle marketing must have decided IPA was the name to use since it is hopped more than their usual product. It's a very slightly zippier version of their brown ale, not even on the same hop planet with Torpedo.

I have a couple of real hop blasts I didn't feel like tangling with tonight, Bridgeport Hop Czar and Sierra Nevada Hoptimum. The hop rates on these are in the 85 and 100 IBU class respectively. For reference, Torpedo is in the mid sixties.

Is Lucky Logger still around? I used to drink a bunch of that when i was younger..Now for a cheap beer its Hamms or PBR.

I'm still testing scotch tho mathman..gotta say i was rolling pretty happy with re breast. my latest one.

It certainly is MD, I enjoyed several more pints with every meal [cept breakfast] during my stay.

Gunner

Yeah, he's usually down in the optics forum wanting to wrassle someone in his underwear.






Sorry man, just being goofy. LOL

Gunner

Here in Oregon the craft brewers are making IPA's out of everything. Sometimes I think having so many hop farms within 50 miles of Portland has skewed local beer development toward "hey, how many more hops can we get into this brew?"

Sorta - they did do that and that's what became called IPA but extra hopped beer like that wasn't the only beer being sent to India.

Also realize that any modern IPA isn't even remotely close to what a historical IPA would taste like. Just to grab one, say Bell's Two Hearted - they're not sending it on a ship for months at a time in vastly swinging temp and humidity before it gets to you.

How we drink and taste modern IPAs - they're MUCH younger than the historical IPA - hell, we're running them thru hopbacks, or Randallizers right there on the bar for people. Just didn't happen "back then".

The above, plus Old German, Old Style, Iron City, Schaefer, Columbia, Olympia, Great Basin, Wasatch, Deschutes.

Rick ain't got enough bandwidth..

I have never attended one, but the title of this thread is what I would expect a topic of discussion at a Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

If you consider Sam Adams "designer beer" I'm not sure there's any hope for you.

Did anyone mention "Billy Beer"?

Wow. All these domestic brews and no one mentions beer from the oldest and largest American brewery.

Yuengling

Their all right up there with "Orbit" or "Billy" Beer! The scraping of the bottom the barrel......

Sometimes I think the whole USA is not owned by us.

I think domestic could apply to the terrain in which you currently find yourself deployed.I'm surprised no one mentioned"Ba Muoi Ba", "33".BTW,anybody remember "Hop'n Gator"?

How about "Shiner",or "Abita"?

One thing I didn't see mentioned was malt liquor. It's beer ... sort of.

Old English 800
Colt 45
Mickey Big Mouths
Schlitz Malt Liquor




I know I've drank others but it's been so long ago that I can't remember them.

PBR = Domestic bliss

Yuengling or Sam Adams make a good substitute in a pinch.

Noooo kidding. I can tolerate, maybe even like their Black
Lager, and Octoberfest - but my favorite style this time of
year is dopplebock. Bought a 4 pack of SA Imperial double bock awhile back, GAAAAH! How could anyone miss a style so
badly? Tasted like some kind of really bad cough syrup.
The "Wee Heavy" was only slightly more tolerable.
