I used to drink Country Club Malt Liquor when I used to drink.

PostSubject: Beer Yum!   Tue Sep 30, 2008 2:49 pm

I look for four things in beer listed in order of importance:
1. Cost (since getting married & having children my wallet has shrunk)
2. Carb content (since passing my 30's the mid section started growing somehow)
3. Taste (Nicotene hasent killed my taste buds completly)
4. Alchohol content (what more can i say)

So in trying to balance these criteria somehow I have settled on:
(insert drumroll)
Budweiser Select

Maynard, I wish I could help you but I have never been much of a beer drinker. I am a brown whiskey drinker. I do like an occasional stout or very dark beer.

Maybe you could try some of those non-alcohol beers, I don't know. Muster up enough will power to cut back. Drink 3 instead of 6-8. ????

Maynard,
I started drinking Bud Select for that reason, It's got fewer carbs than "real" beer and carbs are the real enemy. I also started alternating; beer one night Rum the next (Rum has 0 carbs). My fav. Rum is Sailor Jerry's Spiced, I have it on ice with water. Helps me sleep like a baby. My weaknes is eating snacks while drinking, I always want crackers or chips or nuts or something to chew on while sipping a beer or Rum.

Maynard, you're telling us you know you have a problem, and you're asking for help. Words of wisdom and advice from people who don't know you and don't know the challenges you face daily aren't likely to solve your problem. I'm no expert but I was told excessive drinking is a symptom of another underlying problem in your life. I'd visit a minister, pastor, rabbi, or priest, and have a conversation with him or her. They most likely will see things from a different perspective than yours and offer some help, or advice, or steer you in the right direction,,,,and you may make another friend in the process.

There are so many that I enjoy but if I had to drink just one for the rest of my life it would be Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. It's good any time of the year.

Red Hook out of Seattle makes some good beers, I enjoy their Ballard's Bitter and some new stuff called Hammer ale. Since coming to the Bay Area I've been drinking alot of Liberty.

In the summer I really like Weissbier, especially Franziskaner, and Erdinger Kristal (a filtered hefeweizen), thought the latter can't be found on tap in the US, to my knowledge.

I have a New Old Favorite if that make sense.
I watched Clint Eastwoods movie Gran Torino recently and in it his character drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. So while browsing the beer isle a while back I decided to try it (for the first time), and damn it was pretty good beer, cheap too.
