This thread was an enjoyable read.....thanks for posting. I no longer drink, but being Irish, when I did, I did it with gusto. As my Uncle Tom use to say, "There's no such thing as bad booze, just some's better than others." Interestingly, the only thing he drank was Chivas Regal Scotch. I like my beers like I like my corals....if it has a fancy-pants name, I'm not interested.

@WVNed 's answer.....cold! That's the truth. The worst tasting rot gut beer you can find.....chill it, and it tastes like gold....the colder, the better. The sign of a good beer is one you can drink at room temperature and it still tastes like more. That said, the best of this type of beer, and I believe a bit out of favor because of price and all the fancy-pants beers, is good old Pabst Blue Ribbon. Please, try it. One of the finest Pilsners there is to be had.
I also enjoyed Ballantine Ale.....don't know if it's still being brewed, but very much enjoyed back in the 70's/80's while my wife worked on the picture puzzles under the cap.
I enjoy a slow poured Guinness as well, but more for special occasions, where it's maybe one or two beers. I couldn't drink that as an everyday beer.
And lastly, and one of my favorites of recent times, came from the oldest brewery in the USA......Yuengling Lager! Always tasted like more.
