I mentioned Duvel in my post and I've been drinking it because of the flavor and the alcohol content. I like being able to drink 2 beers so as to get the same effect as drinking 4 beers. I'm not a huge fan of running to the bathroom every 5 minutes and feeling bloated. Any body else the same way?

Try Molson XXX too. Never tried it, personally. I just know about the alcohol content.
If you want an energy drink that'll give you the buzz of 4 beers, try Joose...9.0% or 9.9% in a 24 oz can depending on the flavor you get.
I've had Duvel before, it was ok but nothing to write home about, then again I don't drink beer because of it's alcohol content since the more you drink the higher tolerance your going to build up so eventually you'll drink more.
Molson XXX is overrated, and I consider it the worse of the Molson brands, not too tasty, it lacks a beer taste, just like Steel Reserve.
Well, the alcohol content isn't my main factor in choosing beer....it's just that I'm so sick of watered down light beers from college and the post-college bar scene. It always seemed like I had to drink 2,194 beers in a night to get a buzz and I'm a just little 160 lb. guy (and the bar tab that went with that was crazy!). Since I'm older, a little less patient and a little more well off, I want flavor and the "spark" the higher alcohol content beers provide.
I can't remember the last time I even had a light beer. Maybe it was when some waitor brought me a Corona Light at a Mexican restaurant by accident.
Maybe all of that makes me a beer snob...maybe it doesn't. I just know I like good beer (not just any beer).
...and yes, Rolling Rock might be the worst beer ever.

It is. I was just talking about his taste in food as an example of not trusting his taste in beer.
You don't know the half of it, Jules.
I constantly hear this woman at work complaining because I never eat anything good, and it's always unhealthy.
Then I have heard my dad over the years, and still to this day, complain that I'm a nurse, I should know better to eat more types of food and veggies than I do.
I'm a straight up meat and potatoes kind of guy. Give me some steak, chicken, some baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, parsley potatoes fried potatoes, whatever. Pizza, wings, burgers. You know, all that good stuff.
I don't like mexican or seafood, and eat only a little bit of chinese food. Hate my veggies. Gawd, I sound like a 3 year old.

Are you sure we don't have the same mother.
It's like the movie Step Brothers with Will Ferrell that is coming out. Ever see the trailer?
"If you were a chick, who is the one guy you would sleep with?"
Oh man, I cannot agree more with you! I was up in Canada today, having a burger with some Guinness and having my meal, decided to try some different brews, and Boddingtons was on tap Not good at all... I think I would have got the same effect by drinking cooled stomach acid.....

Quote: psssst Ammo. Real men drink what ever they like, and don't worry about what others think of their taste.
Damn right, but Ammo needs to be impressive to his peers and probably would jump off a bridge if they did, so he's easily swayed to do what others think is cool, since thinking for himself isn't a huge priority.
Now go crack open one of those sissy Zima's you drink GM.
funniest thing I've heard all day.
I've tried Jaeger and it's pretty good. I don't drink much though...I guess that's just not me :0
I do like Mike's Hard. Call me a girly man if you want
There is nothing wrong with simple refreshment! Sometimes a fruity citrus twist to a drink is better for the time than the simple liquid bread. Not sure how it's evolved to where "real men support random closemindedness in terms of alcohol". Refreshment and taste are always something to be open about and to sample.

that quote is definitely funny. I figured once I saw that coming (esp. from that specific poster) some of the others would flock to that comment like flies to..erm, honey lager.
bwahaha...
I was reading an epinons comment about "The Beast." Times have changed and kegs are more expensive. Are half-barrels the same as kegs? I never was sure what was what.How many cans of beer are in a keg?
We know its awful, but we can get a lot for the money and, besides, we are giving most of it away, so what's the point in spending a lot of money on something good?". They did have a good point. At that time (the late 1980's), I could purchase a half- barrel (approx. 15 gallons) of Milwaukee's Best for only $19.50! Throw in the sales tax, and the total price per keg was only $20.63!
What I may do now is become a beer/liquor connoisseur and blog or develop a review/rating system for the various ones I've tried and maybe one day get them published in a brewery magazine. There's a beer place by me...literally around the corner..that has about 2,000 types of beer/alcohol but I've never been there yet.
I don't want to overdo it, but my curiousity is piqued after seeing beers listed that I've never heard of before. A lot of foreign ones, like that Belgian one someone linked to.
As for the jager, it's liquor, not beer. I accidentally mentioned it as a beer.
Currently enjoying Miller Lite's ~#15 and 16. Started at 5pm today, drove out to an old watering hole in Strongsville that I haven't been at since I moved 2 months ago. Great experience - before I sat down, the bartender had a cold Miller Lite bottle on the bar for me, my NTN trivia game, then once I was situated put on some Bon Jovi, Poison, and KISS on the jukebox to make me feel at home again.
