Best beers in America?

[Hoss]

It's not bad, Blue Moon. More flavor than Corona or Bud or Coors or whatever other mass produced beer I can think of. Now where did I put that Zima?

You sir, have just fallen out of favor...

Although I'm pretty sure you're jesting...

I'm headed to choose between the three Marshall offerings I have in the fridage (Atlas IPA, Sundown Wheat, or Arrowhead Pale Ale).  Decisions, decisions...

Tough life.

Choose the Arrowhead. Atlas is just an average IPA at best and the Sundown is your ordinary run of the mill coriander summer brew, nothing special.

Uh, I'll choose what I like, thank you very much.  And Sundown is actually my favorite of all his core offerings.  My favorite seasonal is still Big Jamoke.  Although I have not tried Oktoberfest yet, I'll wait for that seasonal to arrive in September to try it.

But the Arrowhead is quite drinkable.  When I want to give someone a sample of Marshall to try, I give them Sundown.  Never done me wrong yet.

About the Zima, yes. I do actually have a bottle around here somewhere, though I wouldn't drink it even if my other option was thirsting to death. I didn't pay for it, mind you.

I wasn't joking about Blue Moon, though. It's not half bad. Neither is Killians on tap, for that matter. Killians is terrible in a bottle, though. On tap it's almost fruity and is very smooth. In a bottle it tastes more like Old Milwaukee. Yuengling and St. Pauli Girl are also half-decent for mass produced beers. Before moving to Tulsa, there wasn't a lot in the craft brew category available in the local liquor stores. Also, I'm pretty much obligated to take something my clients distribute when they're paying, so I have to know these things.

You, chasing the dollar?  How disappointing.

What, you thought I forage for food?

I first tried Killian's Irish Red at J.J.'s Pizza Stop in Norman when I was in college. I've always liked it because it reminds me of my college days. 

I honestly don't know how you can make a top 50 list that anyone would really agree with.  I can't even tell you my top five beers because I can't narrow my favorites down to five.  It really depends on my mood, what I'm doing, what time of the year it is ect.

.....just my two cents...

I think my biggest problem is that I'm just plain poor.  90% of the time that I can afford a beer, all I can afford is a domestic.  Of the other 10% of the time, 9% of it something like Corona falls into the catagory of what I can afford. That final 1% that I can afford to try something new comes along so infrequently that I haven't been able to try enough of the other stuff to figure out if I like any of it.  Of course I could just skip the Corona and try something new and not pay very much more, but those times that I do have it I can usually only have one, and I really feel like relaxing with something I enjoy, and I have no idea what of the other things I will, so don't want to chance it on those occasions. 

Oh, and for the record, Bud is the only domestic (mass produced that is) that I can stand.  If I can avoid it I don't even do Bud Light.

I just thought you had high enough principles to politely decline a beer you didn't want.

I totally understand that "He who owns the jet gets to pick the beer".

It would have to be a terrible beer (maybe two year old MGD in a can?) for me to choose "no beer" over "beer," especially when it's free beer.
