Anyone try it yet? Its fairly new so my dad picked up a 6-pack last week and I'm finally getting to try one with dinner and its actually not bad at all. I absolutely hate regular Budweiser but this actually tastes decent. I'm not very good at comparing beers but I can already tell you I think its better then Yuengling.

I'm washing down Sausage & peppers. Delicious

Wasn't Budwiser sold to a company in Japan? Now they came out with American Ale. Hmmmmmmmm.

I think I'll stick to Microbrews.

Yuengling Lager is the main staple beer for me. Inexpensive, readily available, and still rather tastey.

If I want to get fancy, I usually move on to the medium sized breweries like Dogfish Head, Brooklyn, and others. A steak and a 90min IPA Dogfish is a good meal in my eyes :)

Like Mike said. I dont think that you have much room to talk about great tasting beer.

mmmmm blue moon

Bingo. I am now hooked on Sam Adams Oktoberfest, but Im also loving the Hevienfeaorjlerjlajrr beer that SA has put out.

Right now:
#1: Sam Adams Oktoberfest
#2: Blue Moon
#3: Sam Adams Hefivenfiver whatever it is.
#4: Yuengling
#5: Heiny, but Im usually a mess with that

Summer Ale from SA is also good, but Blue Moon jumps to 1st in the summer. Nice cold one, sitting on the porch of Ron's Pub in a rocking chair with Blair, watching the West End Carshow...awesome.

You have got to be kidding me. That is the most vile **** I've ever tasted and I have a rep for drinking everything short of paint thinner.

Rogue. PA micro beer.

NJSPEEDER

Rogue is a pretty good small capacity brewery. Since i tend to think of specialty and micro brews more in terms of being a part of a meal, it isn't something that fits specifically in. The Rogues are more of mood beers than meal beers. Yes, something to sit down and enjoy, but not something that commands a burger, or a steak, or a good pasta.

I agree, and I am not sure whether I could down one and eat a meal.

Yuengling is my usual, along with New Castle on occasion. However I recently had some of the River Horse beers at their oktoberfest...they were amazing. Long Trail is another favorite of mine, blackberry wheat is some great stuff on a hot summer day! I did the Long Trail and Harpoon brewery tours in Vermont this year, and they have some really good stuff.

I've been drinking Hazed and Infused from Boulder Beer at the MillHill Saloon in Trenton recently and it's pretty dam good. They also got their hands on a couple kegs of Wolaver's Oatmeal Stout and it's really tasty. It's made by Otter Creek in VT. But it's pretty strong around 8% I think.

I tried it years ago when they had the NJ Microbrews at the arena in Trenton. There are some good brews made here in NJ. I can't remember their beer though.

They have a few good ones. I usually get their wheat beer with dinner when I'm there.

Nahhh, it's just that you are new to drinking... I went through my fancy beer phase 20 years ago. Bud is like classic rock, you stray away from it for a while but you always end up back where it all began, drinking Bud and listening to good classic rock! :-)
