nothing too exotic, by that i mean beer that can mostly be found in a well stocked liquor store. There's a nice liquor store right down the street that is a pretty good size.
I usually just drink blue moon, I'm not a huge drinker but i want to try something different.
taste isn't all that important as long as it doesn't taste like feces, alch % is also important.
just looking for a 6 pack. Don't care if it's a "manly" drink or not either, but Smirnoff Ice gives me a little bit of a stomach ache
any suggestions :confusedshrug:

i can't drink more than one blue moon / other wheat beer without feeling like garbage.
if you like wheat beer you should try leinenkugel sunset wheat.
GOAT beer when accounting for calorie to alcohol percentage ratio is miller lite.

That's probably the weirdest way of judging beer I've ever seen.

I've been really broke recently so I had to pick cheap beer, saw a 12 pack of PBR for $9 so I bought it...huge mistake, I was reminded why I don't drink pbr, taste like utter sh1t.
Anyhow, Stella Artois tastes really good, Dos XX with a couple limes inside is one of my go-to beers.
Oak Creek walnut or something like that taste hella good, its brewed locally here in arizona though.

i used to be a bud light drinker and switched to miller lite years ago. After reading about how healthy guinness was I was curious as to what beer had the highest alcohol content to the lowest calories. Some of those ultra light beers are only like 3% alcohol.
Anyways surprisingly miller lite was like a top 4 for the ratio. Makes me like delicious miller lite more knowing its such a healthy option :oldlol:

im a pretty unhealthy guy when it comes to eating but when i wanna drink a ton of beers i don't wanna feel like I swallowed a brick. It's more about the "less filling" aspect i guess.

I would say the "filling aspect" has more to do with the carbonation of the beer than it has with its calory count, but maybe that's just me.

you burp that out. I can only drink a few heavy beers at a time before feeling like sh*t. Light beer? I can probably finish an 18 pack and feel fine in the morning.
Usually nowadays if im trying to get drunk i mainly drink whiskey with a couple of beers here and there. But back in my student days i was all about the beer.

I see. I never had that problem myself. I don't think I've ever tried one of those light beers, and I don't ever intend to.

Miller lite, coors light, bud light, yuengling light, all the normal light beers are fine.
I tried some of that miller 64 and it was straight up gross. Like a shittier version of natty. I think that's been the only "ultra light" i've tried.

It really depends what you like. I am a stout drinker and tend to rely on Old Rasputin Imperial Stout (a solid Cali drink). If you want a nice beer without too much malt or hop characteristic, I suggest a nice pilsner (american lagers are basically crappy pilsners or at least rooted in that tradition) such as Mama's Lil Pils by Oskar Blues (CO brewery)

most of the calories in drinks is from the alcohol. Sure, there are some sugars and starches in beer, but alcohol has twice the caloric content by gram to carbs and proteins (8 kcal/gr vs 4). If you want the best ratio, you should drink liquor straight. All calories are from alcohol.

I very rarely drink beer these days but I almost always get some type of porter. My fallback is usually the Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald. OP, you can prob find that almost anywhere and its easy on the stomach.

so many great recommendations! still not sure, I've never even tried Dos Equis, Heineken, Stoned IPA, or anything like that ( I know i'm a noob when it comes to drinking)
a 6 pack usually gets me to the level i'd like to be for a night of just watching basketball.
will make my decision soon.
p.s. anybody have a beer they think goes good with smoke?

Longboard pale ale. its not a heavy beer, so ive always felt that it goes good with a nice sativa.

No idea if it's up for grabs in the US, but La Chouffe (Belgian beer) is the best beer ever. In fact, nearly every beer from Belgium is good. Heineken on the other hand is like ditch water.

Coopers Pale Ale?

Are you a wheat beer fan? Otherwise for mainstream I like Sam Adams. Although If your beer store imports canadian beers I'd look into Unibroue

You can never go wrong with Young's Chocolate Stout if you want full flavor.
Otherwise, I could drink 10 or 12 Corona's and be happy

I remember when I was 19 and thought coors light was better than bud light. They all basically taste the same dude.
Shitty beer like miller/bud/coors light shouldn't even be mentioned in a beer recommendation thread.
That shit is really only appropriate tailgating and at the beach.

If you can get your hands on some Moosehead (preferably canned) you'll thank me afterwards im sure. That's my go-to Lager and has been for well over a decade now...
