need suggestions on a new beer to try to replace my usual

[toey]

i want something that tastes similar

My shameful admission: I drink Coors Light

*waits for the bombarding of meanies to crash several beer bottles over my head*

[Lilyhoney]

1. Replace with

anything that is not beer.

[WeRQ4U]

2. Buy a goat........let it piss in your mouth.

:P

Actually, I would maybe go with something light, but with more taste. Where do you live?

[LynneSin]

3. OH GOD

:spray:

[toey]

5. indianapolis

[WeRQ4U]

16. Ok, look for craft beers that you can get in that area.

How about SUmmit, Three Floyds, Kalamazoo, Leinenkugels, Boulevard etc.

WHy don't you try a wheat beer like Boulevard? I think you might like it. It's less hoppy and bitter than West Coast beers and IPA's. And Hefs usually go down really easily.

Word of warning though, some Wheat Beers still have shit suspended in them and are really cloudy, but don't worry about it. They taste good and it's not liek you have to chew them.

4. Coors Light? Drink a Perrier and then hit yourself between the eyes

with a ball-peen hammer.

Seriously, there are so many other beers out there that are so much better. But you have to like the taste of beer. If you do, I can name several "gateway" beers.

[toey]

6. i don't much care for the taste of beer...that's my problem

i drink it cuz its cheaper than most other alcoholic drinks

[calico1]

24. Do you like wine?

You can get a pretty decent one that won't break the bank.

[toey]

26. wine...let's just say i drank a box if it on my 21st b-day

and leave it at that

[calico1]

27. Yuk. Boxed wines are junk.

No wonder you don't have fond memories. Don't ever buy something from a box.

[toey]

28. hey, it was my first real drinking experience

what can i say? i've tried several more, but there's that distinct taste of all of them that make me wanna earl

[calico1]

33. What about Mike's hard lemonade or something

like that? They are around the same price as beer but don't taste like beer.

[toey]

36. too sweet...makes me feel like i have no enamel left on my teeth

[anarch]

7. Pabst Blue Ribbon n/t

[toey]

10. you've got to be f***ing kidding me

not going there...i'm looking for serious suggestions here

[anarch]

14. I like PBR!

But I also like Miller High Life, and I'll drink Budweiser. I'm not much of a light beer drinker...

How about Corona Light? Or maybe Amstel?

God, I am torturing myself, 'cause I'm having to abstain from alcohol right now, I gotta stop....

[toey]

18. abstaining from any vice sucks...i'll try to stop the torture

[anarch]

25. aw, it's OK...at least I can live vicariously

And just for the hell of it, here is my list of all-time favorite shitty, cheap beers:

1. PBR
2. Miller High Life
3. Schlitz
4. Strohs
5. Iron City (used to be about $6.00 a case at the local store)
6. Yuengling Lager
7. Lone Star
8. National Bohemian
9. Mickey's (I guess that's a "malt liquor", but whatever)
10. Olympia ("It's Water")

[driver8]

50. I like PBR, too! I drank enough of it in college to last me a lifetime.

As Dennis Hopper says in the movie Blue Velvet, "Heineken, fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

[seemunkee]

8. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Anchor Steam, Pilsner Urquell or Stella Artois
All tasty brews without to unusuall of flavors that might put off mild beer drinkers.

[EOTE]

44. Pilsner Urquell..... droooooool

Fantastic brew that is. I was introduced to it a few years ago and look for it anytime I make a run, very tasty stuff. I'm also really fond of Special Export (there are several varieties of Special X, I prefer the Cameroonian type). If hard lemonades turn you off and you want something like beer, but not hoppy, I'd suggest Hornsby's Cider. Not too sweet and not too bitter, very refreshing and much better than Mike's or any of those other alcoholic fruit punches.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Corona. La cerveza mas fina.

[toey]

11. with or w/o lime? light or regular?

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Light. Either with or without. I prefer with.

[toey]

15. i will give that one a try tonight...going to a dem meetup after work

a guy gave me shit at last month's meeting and i've been trying to find something good to drink

[mac56]

47. "Corona" is Spanish for "Coors Light".

nm

[flvegan]

13. Miller High Life. That tastes like shit, too.

An ideal replacement.

[toey]

17. maybe i should have said...tastes similar or better than

any suggestions in that category?

[huskerlaw]

19. Schlitz

I hear it tastes quite a bit like goat piss...errr...Coors Light.

[anarch]

20. ah, yes, Schlitz..."the Beer that Made Milwaukee Vomit" n/t

[petronius]

21. Keystone Light worked well back in high school

it goes really well with Reese's peanut butter cups...

[trackfan]

22. Water is about the closest thing

Or Bud Light.

[Initech]

23. Pacifico, my bottled beer of choice!

I drink that when I'm at bars that dont serve Sierra Nevada.

[leftofthedial]

29. Busch Lite

if you want to keep drinking tasteless swill.

Otherwise, step up to something a bit more schmecklich.

Bass Pale Ale (English)
New Belgium Fat Tire (Colorado)
Pilsner Urquell (Czech)
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (California)

Finding one you like is half the fun.

[toey]

31. i can't even say schmecklich

i would agree that finding one is half the fun...but BUYING several that i can't stand, will not get me drunk dammit
lol

[jandrok]

30. I dunno....why don't you switch to BEER?

I suggest a nice hookup with something light and refreshing like a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. That's a good gateway beer. Or maybe a nice Sammy Adams.

[kwassa]

32. Old Milwaukee

It is probably $4.99 a case.

[toey]

34. I really meant, beer in general is cheaper to drink...

and that fru fru drink stuff is too sweet and whiskey, etc are not good for me. so if i want to get drunk, i need beer...now looking for a 'good' beer

[Tikki]

35. Labatt has a sensational.....

Blue Light...

I am not sure if they make it any more...can't find it in So Cal...





Tikki

[toey]

37. i think i've seen that, i'll definitely keep it in mind

thanks

[kwassa]

38. Guiness Stout tastes just like Coors Light

Give that a try!

[kwassa]

39. I burped and duped my post

[toey]

40. what have you been drinking?

[kwassa]

43. Guiness, er, Coors Light?

[enigami]

41. that's easy, may as well drink water n/t

[Done]

42. Samuel Adams, doesn't taste like coors, taste like beer.

[SIU_Blue]

45. Berghoff's

is delicious, also, Corona...mmm...

[TrogL]

46. Buffalo N.Y. tap water

Cat piss comes a close second

[Parche]

48. new beer

HEINEKEN
HEINEKEN
HEINEKEN

[sendero]

49. We call that..

... "scared water". You can replace it with just about anything, but beer-wisif you are used to that you probably won't really like real beer. You need to work youself up to it :)
