CMiller 1 #1 August 3, 2006 Being relatively new, my "achievements" are happening rather quickly, and so therefore, are my trips to buy beer. The rules state Labatt or Corona only, however I'd like to try to suprise everybody with something new. Not being much of a beer connoisseur, I don't want to run the risk of an UNPLEASANT suprise. I need some recomendations. Money is mostly no object. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guinness_fr 0 #14 August 3, 2006 Yeah! Guinness!! and plenty of it to make up for all the times when people bring tasteless stuff!!! I've been to quite a few DZ (France and US) and I have always been the only to bring Guinness, hence my nickname. Of course I usually also bring something else as not so many people (at least here in France) drink that kind of beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

selbbub78 0 #18 August 3, 2006 Growing up outside of buffalo, and visiting Frontier Skydivers I think Labatts is a good choice. Another GREAT choice would be Molsen. I know those guys would like that!!!

pirana 0 #20 August 3, 2006 QuoteThe rules state Labatt or Corona only, however I'd like to try to suprise everybody with something new. Rather narrow-minded consumers you're dealing with to actually have a rule stipulating only 2 kinds of beer. They are both palatable - though Corona is primarily a marketing success, pretty mediocre stuff. LaBatt is a rung up from there, but neither would cause a respectable beer snob to stop in their tracks. Bring them some Grolsch or Newcastle Brown Ale. There are plenty of high quality brews from medium size and microbreweries, but the ones mentioned are both at the top of my list of beers that are available almost anywhere. p.s. - If it's your money being spent - you get to make the rules on what kind of beer to buy. That being said, common courtesy says you do not show up with Blatz, Busch, Bud, PBR, Coors, or any of the other myriad of choices of sweet, nearly tasteless, piss-water swill that most breweries try to pass off as beer. Sure, somebody will probably drink it, . . . eventually. But then again, a starving person will eat dog poop and mud if that's what it takes to stay alive." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would be surprised how many people actually PREFER crappy beer to good beer. The Brewpub near my house makes great craft beer of many different varieties. It's $3.00 per pint. A bottle of crappo Miller Lite or Bud Lite costs $3.25 at the same bar. Yet you go in there on the weekends & see how many people are paying the extra quarter for the privelege of drinking the shitty Lite beer. I can't understand it myself.

Find some exotic microbrew, bring some and try it out. If the folks don't like it, take Katiebear's advice.
