Default I\'m a beer newb.

I know there was that huge beer thread the other day, which was quite entertaining. Unfortunately I had no idea what the hell anyone was talking about as far as what kind of beers are what. I bought "moose drool" which was a brown ale (i don't know WTF that means) and a few people recommended it so I figured it would be good. Anyways I thought it was gross, so i'm going to tell you my likes and maybe you guys can tell me others that I might like? Don't be too harsh. I'm still new to alcohol.

I like Rolling Rock and Corona alot. I had a regular old Budweiser once and it was ok. Oh, also Fat Tire is ok.

I don't like Moose Drool, Killian's Red, or that Henry Weinards sh[/i]it. Also Natural Ice is gross.

Thanks.

The beers you don't like have more flavor.

You should do fine with all of the mainstreem beers, such as Bud, Miller, Coors. I prefer miller lite over bud, so try that. Natty is basically a lower quality form of Bud. Milwaulkee's Best (also known as "Beast") is even worse than Natty.

You won't like Guiness, and probably not Heniken (sp?).

Corona is my favorite too.

Since you mostly like the flavorless beer, I'd recommend moving on to some sort of better pilsener or a wheat beer. I can't really make any more specific recommendations than that for those styles, but ratebeer.com is a good place to start.

Cool thanks for the replies. I'll check that website out. I suppose as I drink more the other stuff will become more appealing but for now I just don't really like it.

The guy loves Corona, teaching him to spell would be a disservice to humanity.

Try Harp. Then move on to Spaten Pils(ner). Those are both great beers that are in the same vein as, but a step up from, the beers you listed. Both should also be readily available anywhere in the states.

The problem is your in america and americans can't make good beer.... you want some BUDVAR, Kronenburg, Hoegarrdaan,
6X and if you can get actual Stella then thats good (but not the normal wifebeater they sell in the pubs).....

If you think Rolling Rock and Corona are good and Fat Tire is just OK, you have very, very pedestrian taste. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Fat Tire is a very good product, though to my taste, not quite the equal of Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada. Red Tail, or Harpoon IPA.

Bud, Miller, etc. are all dog pi$$. Of all the Mexican beers I've tried, Corona is the worst by far. Quite tasteless.

Molson & Moosehead are crap. When in Canada I drink Keith's.
