Does that compare to Blue Moon at all? Cuz I flippin' LOVE Blue Moon
If it's a Belgian White then yes, it should be similar to Blue Moon. I've never had that particular one, though I'd like to try a Belgian White in a can....I was told by one of the guys in Belguim that Blue Moon was actually started by a guy that used to work at the Hoegaarden brewery....now that may just have been those European guys having some fun with the American girl (and a Southerner at that....they were REALLY having fun with me, I was the only American on the trip!)...but they swore it was the truth.....
man, people who prefer Coors, Miller, Bud, PBR, etc over real beer.....*shakes head and laughs*
While I would prefer a better beer, I voted for Coor's Light. It is cheaper than most of those mentioned. I intend on geting hammered everyday. if I bought the high dollar stuff, I couldn't afford gas to get to Roo.
GUINNESS!!!!! Not only is it one of the tastiest and most potent beers ever but, the cans actually taste better than the bottles!
I did a little research for ya my friend. here are a few abv's of beer. Guinness: 4.1. Bud: 4.9, Miller High Life: 4.6, Corona Extra: 4.6, Coors Light: 4.2, and Coors: 5.0 More to come later. Cheers.
It's very similar. One of our local bars replaced Blue Moon in there taps with Wittekerke, so I had no choice but to try it. ;D
I don't know where BM started, but it is brewed by Coors.
Actually, I did a little googling and got my memories together a bit more....wasn't Blue Moon they were talking about.....I remember he mentioned Austin TX...Celis! That was the beer they were talking about and the story checks out...I've never been able to find it, but if you are a witbier fan (as it sounds many of us are!) and can find Celis White, it's made by the same guy that made Hoegaarden - Pierre Celis.....beer trivia du jour! And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.... ;D
Hoegaarden is actually a town in Belguim....and the way they pronounced it over there it was "Who-Gar-Den"....for what that's worth....about what ya paid for it- LOL!
Ahhh thats what I orginally called it back when I first saw the stuff in the bar and the bartender said I was saying it wrong and laughed at me.Granted it was a small town in Georgia where bud or natty lite is everyone's favorite beer.....I was actually suprised they even had something there other than Bud/coors/miller.

LOL! Karma for finding a decent beer in podunk GA! AND pronouncing it correctly ;D

Well, what can I say? Thanks for setting me straight. Regardless of alcohol content, Guinness is still the best-tasting beer IMO. I've heard that Guinness doesn't actually have that high of a proof but, I think that it has a tequila-like effect. Tequila tends to get people (at least the ones I know) drunker than other liquors of the same strength do. 90 proof tequila always hits me harder than 90 proof vodka or rum does. Guinness has a similar effect, in my opinion. The real appeal, however, is the taste and texture of Guinness. It's not fruity or watery or skunky or anything like that. It's rich, bold and full-bodied. That's why it's always my beer of choice.
Regardless, thanks for clearing that up. Karma for you, my friend.

*sigh* I wish I liked Guiness, I WANT to like Guiness....I just haven't developed a taste for it...yet. I haven't given up hope. I like the way it looks and the way it smells. I love the way the bubbles go the wrong way.... I just don't like the taste....too strong for me. I like my fruity beer I guess Something about coffee/chocolate/beer I haven't been able to get into yet....

I already cleared that up about a page ago but rounded it off to 4.0 and 5.0....I did give you the caloric content too though (125 Guinness and 143 Butswiper). Don't mean to to b a nit-picka but Guinness is my staple, I can drink it faster than water....water makes me choke a little but Guinness goes down smmmooooth....
The heat of summer only makes me want it more. I used to be able to enjoy a cold crisp lager or ale but now I might have one and then it's back to Guinness. Take warning my brethren, if you continue to drink Guinness you may end up this way as well....not that there's anything wrong with that ;D
I think its on divison right by 8th. I've been there once and I was already kinda buzzed and I just started grabbing random high gravity beers and making my friend buy um for me. We ended up w/a wide variety of some not so good beer.....seems i only like flying dog's high gravity beers.

Isn't Lindeman's Lambic Framboise two different beers. Lambic is cherry and Framboise is raspberry. Is this really in cans now? I've only seen it in corked wine bottles.
Anyone who is in VIP Tent Camp Inforoo, I will be more then glad to share my Yuenglings with you for trade of any or your regional or specialty beers. Roo is one of the best places to try new beers.
last night i was drinking a shinerbock, which honestly isn't even that dank
so i offered my bro a beer, and said "i'd get one for austin (other bro), but he doesn't like shiner."
and it turned out, neither brother likes shiner bock, they'd much prefer coors light or keystone (ice)
so gross....
LOL! I have to admit, I really didn't even drink beer, maybe the occassional Coors Light, exactly BECAUSE it was like drinking water. Then I went to Belguim for business and was like, WOW, THIS is what beer is supposed to taste like! And came back a "beer snob" as all my friends now call me Which is fine....I can't afford to drink much, but at least I enjoy what I drink! ;D
I'm with ya belle. I went to Belguim 2 yrs ago. It will ruin you. They have over 500 different beers. If you haven't tried it yet pick up some Stella Atrois. It's the best Belguim beer you can find in a local grocery store, outside of Blue Moon.
I just don't like the taste....too strong for me. I like my fruity beer I guess 
Which is fine....I can't afford to drink much, but at least I enjoy what I drink! ;D
