“Normal” beer is watered, carbonated piss. I’m still debating if I should be offended by the mention of plain Moretti in this thread. Moretti makes some special editions that are worth it, like those dedicated to some Italian regions. Their regular beer is terrible.

Even Leffe is on a wholly different level compared to the cheap supermarket brands.
There’s so many worthy beers that I couldn’t make a top 10 if you payed me to do it. Going around in Italy and trying out some local brands you’re guaranteed to find some excellent beers, just like it is for wine.

You leave me and my cheap 12pack Moretti's alone, if it's ice cold it's drinkable

This is my go-to beer but I couldn't be arsed driving down to the decent offies down the road from me to pick up a load

A one two punch of terrible beer, Moretti and then Sam Smith's?! That's a pub chain I refuse to go in as the beer is so foul. Most be about ten years since I visited one, however. Has it improved?

Sorry to be someone else pouring scorn on Morretti. I do hate it though.

The stranglehold Moretti and Peroni has on Italian restaurants means I'll drink wine even if I fancy beer quite often.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Bitburger is my jam.

My weapon of choice:

I only drink beer when I'm in Germany.

I need to try this fine looking drink

It's funny you should say Germany too, the last beer I had was actually in Düsseldorf during the news years event. That was great fun.

I ain't defending Moretti's beer, it's drinkable and that's it's only quality but I will fight you outside over Sam Smiths

 

[M1chl]

As a Czech, I like pretty much (liked, no longer drinks) liked all alcohol, but not beer, which is sacrilige to say here

 

[22:22:22]

Would you be drunk?

And ofcourse I can drink some of the better tasting normal beers.

It's like can you eat a supermarket pizza after having one at a pizzeria.

But I'd rather not.

No hyperbolic snobbery here

Sorry, but I'd rather drink Moretti than Sam Smith's, based on the couple of times it's been my misfortune to drink it.

For a "normal" beer, I always like a Miller High Life but only in the glass bottle.
Perfect on hot days and you just want something that isn't too heavy.

I don't get the hate for IPAs. Great Lakes Brewery does seasonal double IPAs and right now is my favorite of them: Lake Erie Monster!

 

[Fart Knight]

Always knew you were drunk playing firefight

 

[22:22:22]

Although I'm playing stalker. That's a Dual Sense.

Firefight is just around the corner

 

[simpatico]

Juicy IPAs are where it's at for my tastes. Rhinegiest Juicy Truth is my current number 1.

[Davey Cakes]

I don't really enjoy the Budweisers of the world, but I do have simple taste. Any Sam Adams seasonal is good to me, or any Belgian white or wheat ale, really. ABV 6% or below. I can drink IPAs but don't like them.

 

[AJUMP23]

Seems appropriate.

 

[SubZero_Wins]

I smoke marijuana more than I used to drink, But Sam Adams and Miller Genuine Draft are good for when I crave beer

 

[Rayderism]

To me, there is only cheap beer and over-priced beer. All beer tastes nasty, it's just that some are nastier than others. The trick is to find the cheapest one that tastes the least nasty to your palette. Buying over-priced beer is literally just pissing your money away. The cheapest stuff is all I need.

 

[John Bilbo]

Guinness is pretty fucking great. Also a good IPA is great too. And wheat beer is yummy.

 

[JCK75]

Yea I've become quite a beer snob, I don't drink to get drunk only to enjoy what I'm drinking so I'll pass on a beer if they don't have anything that appeals to me.
