I've been told that people who drinks Foster's get made fun of. Blech what a sh!tty beer....but it's only $1.00 at the Orlando Ale House, so I've had a good amount.

If you are paying $1.00 for Fosters you are paying too much. One of the worst beers to come out of Australia, way too commercial and tasteless. I know of only one person in Australia that likes Foster's, and he hardly ever drinks beer.......

Has anybody tried Amber Rock?

Stuff I tried and liked:
Shiner Bock - probably my favorite
Sam Adam's Ocotoberfest
Sunshine Wheat Beer
Bass Pale Ale
Miller High Life
Grolsch - when not skunked
Boulevard Wheat

Stuff I tried and disliked:
Dead Guy Ale
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - that stuff is vile
Harp
Dos Eques Amber

Looking for recommendations, or hell just list your favs and tell me if you think I will like them.

Beer!

Sounds like you like beers that emphasize malt over hops. Stick with German light lagers, English Bitter, ESB (Extra Special Bitter), and Belgians. Stay away from West Coast Pale/IPA.

Bodington's Pub Ale is a good ale along with Young's ESB. Fat Tire is a decent Belgian. Coors makes two poor excuses for "real" beer - Blue Moon (Belgian Wit) and Killian's Irish Red...neither are good examples of the real deal. Hoogarden White is a better Belgian Wit and Boulevard Irish Red is a good example of a red. You'll probably like any weiss bier (German wheat). Erdinger is the best I've had so far but Paulaner and Spaten are also good.

Some of you people have HORRIBLE taste in beer, especially those that said they like Heineken. I'm glad you bought into the hype that it's a "premium" beer. Talk to someone from Germany; Heineken in Germany is like Natural Light or PBR here.

/end rant

Now, as for good beers, the only way to find out is to start trying them all. I used to hate Guiness with a passion until I tried some heavier beers and got used to them. Guiness wasn't such a shock then. The best beers are:

Guiness
Hoegarden (almost sweet, but a very interesting beer)
Boulevard (any kind)
Paulaner

Those are the only beers I buy on a regular basis. I have never gained an appreciation for Fat Tire, but to each his own.

Hey broon, thanks for the info. Killian's Irish Red (from a bottle) was one of the first I tried. I wasn't impressed with it, but I will pick up some Boulevard Irish Red next time I get the chance (I'm in Missouri, Boulevard is everywhere here).

Where in Missouri? I'm in KC. Unfortunately Boulevard Irish Red is only available around St Pat's day. Their Nutcracker should be available soon and would be worthy.

Mmmm beer.

Sam Adams Cream Stout
Sam Adams Boston Ale
Killian's
Amberbock
Fat Tire
Guiness
Shinerbock
Schlafly Pale Ale (since you're in Mo)
Blue Moon (don't be too scared if they serve it with an orange slice)

And a side note...I think Boddington's is some of the worst beer I've had. It was completely flat and tasted to me like a Natty Light opened 3 days ago. Everyone's taste is different though....more Boddington's for those who do like it I guess!

McEwans Pale Ale

Negra Modelo (Dark)
Carlsberg Hof (Probably hard to find in US)
Tuborg Green (Probably hard to find too)

I wouldn't put anything made by Bud/Miller/Coors (Killians, Amberbock, Blue Moon) in the same class as the others you listed. The big three will use a style as part of the name but it really doesn't represent that style. Schlafly is only available in the Eastern part of the state (I've never found it West of Columbia).

Very true...there are different classes of beer in this list. I just included them all because here in St. Louis, it's pretty hard to get good beer at alot of places. The obviously lower classes of beer in this list are the choices I make when the others just aren't available.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Spaten and Becks both make a good Oktoberfest.

Also try Asahi Super Dry as a first beer sometime.....
Boddington's Pub Ale
Warsteiner
Warsteiner Dunkel
Skullsplitter
Marzen
Kirin
Tecate
Red Hook ESB, IPA, Blondie....all good.

There are MANY more beers...I'm just too lazy to type out my choices.

I'm in Columbia. My roommate bought some Schalfly the other day, so I'm going to have to try it.

Molson Canadian is pretty damn good! Doesn't have an aftertaste!

Keep in mind that all Schlafly is not created equal. I happen to like the pale ale ok, but that could be because they brew it right down the street and it's an alternative to the Anheuser Busch products.
