I'm kind of partial to Ninkasi and Hop valley. I'm a big IPA guy.

Im glad, from most of everything else Ive read/ heard Id get along well with Aussies except that Fosters its definitely horse pizz in a can. One of the few brews that I dont enjoy.

The best I have ever tasted was Amstel--not the light, but the regular.
I have only seen it one time, in one store.
Of the American beer, Bud Ice is my favorite.

Then you need to try them and pass your "informed" opinion along? Damn sure I would condemn the beers mentioned here, unless I had tried them. I knew I would get an empiricist answer to my post. My statement was not a finding of fact, as my disclaimer indicated. It was a prediction, and a prediction I'll stand by. If I do find the beers in question I will try them, and if I am wrong I will say so.

I've only had 4 Aussie beers. XXXX and James Boag were pretty good as I recall. Coopers....I wasn't impressed, but there is always the possibility it was just bad from it's long trip/shelf.
Fosters is obviously their Budweiser and I had the misfortune recently of trying Fosters Premium Ale. It was just not good and to top it off they add caramel color to get the color. Sacrilege.

One of my favorites! I agree with you on Hopslam too. For nearly over the top hops, Hopslam is a good choice.

I figure if a beer was made before the Civil War, and is still being made today close to its original form as distance allows, it must at least be fair to middlin'.
Schlitz I'd tend to agree, but it still hasn't worked it's way out west yet. I'm still getting frowns on shipping liquids.....anyone have an idea without breaking the damn bank or breaking some laws?

Fosters its definitely horse pizz in a can That may infringe on a Coors Light patent.

Coors Light and any Keystone have to be about the moldiest tasting stuff ever. Of course Hindlicken always smells like a skunk whenever someone dares open one.
Best to have beer IN at least the country of origin....

Fresh Heineken isn't too nasty. The problem is getting one that isn't light struck.
I don't spend any time looking for it since it isn't competitive flavor wise at its price point, and I generally don't care for beers that come in at the price point where Heineken would be flavor competitive.

That would have to be free..... and cold. REALLY! I thought we were talkin' beer here. passing ,even on a cold & free can of coors lite ...would make u a better/bigger man in my book...but free & cold beer is hard to pass.

Good Gawd, that stuff ain't right! I have found myself wishing that Leinies would make an IPA and that they would make their light beer more available.

You can ship beer. At least companies do, I got a 12 pack of international beers for Christmas from my SIL. The company was in California.

Our dorm coke machine had Heineken cans when I was stationed in Germany. 45 cents as opposed to 35 cents for Coke, Sprite etc. God bless AAFES. Was great in a pinch when you ran out of real beer...nothing like a beer machine 40 feet from your room.
