Favorite Non-Macro Brews
What's your favorite non-Macro brew? For those that don't know what a macro brew is, it's basically any beer you've seen on a commercial (Miller Lite, Bud, Heineken, Corona, etc...).
Sample non-Macro brews would include microbrews and imports (if you live in the US). Oh, my top 5 are: Fullers ESB, Bells Expedition Stout, Rochefort 10, Weistenphaner Dunkel, and ...... Pilsner Urquell. Anyone who says Bud Light, Coors, etc... will be shot for not reading directions.

I am confused. Could you not say ; "What is your favorite Micro Brew and express a more accurate title? [/ QUOTE ] It looks like he wanted to include imports. I'd consider Guinness, Dos Equis and the like macros, but he specifically allowed imports. Any of Stone's brews are incredible. Weihenstephaner's hefeweizen (weizen) is the bet I've managed to find in the states (I lived in southern Germany for a while). Still not as good as real, bavarian weizen, but pretty good. Fat Tire is decent, but I agree that they have much better beers. The Blue Paddle Pils and their Trippel are both very good.

Guinness(as long as it's in Ireland...not in US), [/ QUOTE ] Is there something to this, as I really liked it when I was in Europe, but here it has a funky after-taste? I just assumed it was me.

I think the export they make for the US is about the same as Ireland, it's just a better drinking experience over in Ireland, no?????

Guinness(as long as it's in Ireland...not in US), [/ QUOTE ] That really isn't true anymore in my opinion. I think it was because Guiness uses nitrogen rather than co2 for carbonation, but so many US bars with guiness have nitrogen for the taps now. I specifically drank only guiness before going to ireland to see if there really was a difference, and noticed none (~2 years ago)

[/ QUOTE ] Guinness made for U.S. export is very different.It has preservitives and a higher alcohol content.
