Hey I was reading this article on beers. It had a list of the top 20 brews in the country. I was wondering if anyone has tried any of them. Here is the list. I know not everyone on this site likes beer and may have some objective thoughts about it that I would appreciate not being shared in this journal. For those who do enjoy a fine tasting beer and enjoy sitting around the campfire, football game, the BBQ or just have a good night on the town with some friends, please share some thoughts.

Well yeah. Corona is good with a lime on the side or something. It would be cool if they had some kind of creamy dark Mexican beer. Anyone know of one. Perhaps a version of Tequiza dark or Corona dark.

Mike, if you're ever out here, we'll take you and Katie to this AWESOME place about 30 minutes north of us.....if you don't like beer now, you will after going to this restaurant. I LOVE it!!! (And I'm not a beer fan either, but they have a beer for every person's tastebuds.)

black and tan

thatdarngirl #7.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I'm so glad you just said that. When discussing some Irish revolution (Tinser can probably explain what it had to do with Black and Tans) it was normal for people in my history class to shout out "Black and Tan." I'm sure you all care.
