I like traditional German and Belgian dark beers, pilsners, microbrew crafted ales and Scottish ales. Here in San Diego we have some kickass brew places like Yardhouse, Kaiserhoff, and Gordon Biersche just to name a few. On a happy hour, nothing beats a nice couple of ales and a hot pretzel or bratwurst sandwich followed by a walk to the beach !

Look at the poll standings. All of the above are drunk by 16-30 year olds,Beer is sour and it is to much for a young lad to handle.All the above are sweet to the taste and are not beer as far as a british beer drinker is concerned. Potter.
And beer should come in pretty bottles for women. It should come in little molded cut glass decanters with a crystal nob on top instead of a bottle cap. And it should have a bow on the neck.

I cant believe Kronenborg hasn't been mentioned! You lot haven't lived.
Come to think of it the Czech beer "Boheme" has to be the best beer in the world.
There the company that Budweiser basically stole their idea from and have as a result been in a legal dispute for over 100 years.
Here's an article, and if you like a beer every now and again try this, and then you won't even consider buying the other crap listed above this post!!!
Seriously...it's that good

Tesco has waded into the most hotly disputed arena of the beer world with the launch of an own-label lager from the Czech Republic's Ceské Budejovice - home of Budweiser Budvar and its 100-year-old, worldwide legal battle against Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser.
Boheme 1795 is a pilsner brewed by Budejovicky Mestansky Pivovar, the oldest brewery in the city, which started brewing in 1795 and produced the original Budweiser in 1802.
The brewery was forced to give up its trademark rights under Communism, but in 1989 was once more granted the right to use the term Budweiser in the Czech domestic market. It still uses the same recipe and brewing methods as it did two centuries ago - making it the manufacturer of the "original" beer from the region, according to Tesco.
Beer & cider senior buying manager Andrew Carpenter said: "We recognised that the Czech Republic is perhaps the premium beer-producing nation in the world, with a history of brewing that goes back hundreds of years. With Boheme 1795, we have produced an affordable but truly authentic Budejovicke Pivo which has outstanding quality and flavour that will surprise and delight customers."
Budejovicke Pivo, which means beer from Ceské Budejovice - Budweiser in German - is a Protected Geographical Indication under EU law. But Tesco has chosen a different name for the beer in a bid to stay out of the legal battle that has been waged between Anheuser-Busch and Budvar for more than a century.
Denis Cox, spokesman for Budweiser Budvar, commented: "We at Budvar should be grateful for the existence of this brewery, because it was only because of it that the Budweiser Budvar brewery came into existence in the first place in 1895. The reason? The Czech community in Ceské Budejovice so disliked the beer brewed at the German-owned Mestansky brewery that they decided to build their own brewery.
I don't drink any longer, but when I did I would drink Heineken or Killians Red to tie a load on and a seasonal Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic to enjoy.
