At a world brewing convention in the States, the CEOs of various brewing organizations retired to the bar at the end of each day's conference.
Bruce, CEO of Fosters, shouted to the Barman: "In 'Strylya, we make the best bladdy beer in the world, so pour me a bladdy Fosters, mate."
Bob, CEO of Budweiser, calls out next: "In the States, we brew the finest beers of the world, and I make the king of them all, gimme a Bud."
Hans steps up next: "In Germany ve invented das beer, ferdamt. Give me ein Becks, ya ist der real King of beers, danke."
Paddy, CEO of Guinness, steps forward: "Barman, would ya give me a diet coke with ice and lemon. ?Tanks."
The others stare at him in stunned silence, amazement written all over their faces.
Eventually Bruce asks: "Are you not going to have a Guinness, Pat?"
Paddy replies "Well, if you fookin' pansies aren't drinkin', then neither am I!

Cr@p, I agree with rednekk, Guiness is the only real beer you have on your list. A few of those others have some redeeming qualities, and others try to pass themselves off as beer. You need the "other" category.
My favorite beer is Paradise Brewing Company "Winter Ale".

Definitely put me down for other!
Corona is OK sometimes, but I don't see Killians Irish Red, or Negra Modelo, or Amber Bock - all of which are currently in my beer fridge!

is my favorite lager. .

is my favorite ale.

Love Guinness. The cans with the little nitrogen cartridge are much better than the bottles. I never order it in a bar unless it's around St. Paddy's Day or it is an Irish bar. The kegs sit too long because most people don't like it.
Does anyone remember the promotion Guinness would have? Win a Pub in Ireland contest! You had to write a 50 word or less 'essay' on a topic they chose. .the top 10 would go to Ireland to compete in pub games, another essay and the 'perfect pour'. (It takes 3 min to pour the perfect pint. .and the contestant would have to entertain the judges while they waited for the beer). The winner would get a pub in Ireland complete with it's customers and an apartment upstairs!!

I'm not a beer snob so as long as it's cold, and preferably on someone else's tab, I'll drink it.

"I'm from Milwaukie
and I ought to know
it's good old Blatz Beer
where ever you go.
Kegs, cans and bottles
all taste the same.
The three best are one beer
Blatz is the name"

HA!

Not crazy about the beer. . but they do have GREAT commercials!
Unlike that Corona ad. I don't get it. . Our beer is so crappy you can use it to balance a mirror??
