mileage hound
I have noticed that I have fell into somewhat of a funk regarding my beer selection. As my mileage has again approached the level that I do not feel bad about indulging an a nightly brewsky, I am looking for new options. If you boobs have time to talk about baseball on a running forum you must have time to BEER ME.
Please rate any beer you try and give your overall evaluation and recommendation of it.
I'll start with this week's selections:
Bud Light - 2 - Whose idea was it to bottle and sell St. Louis's sewer water?
Sam Adams Light - 6 - About as high as I can imagine a light beer rating. Decent stuff.
Leinenkugel's Winter Wheat - 4 - Too much citrus for me.
What are you drinking??
2013 goals: Kick some arse. Moreso than 2012.

I recommend the Yeungling lager for an easy drinking beer. Cheap and tasty. Beats hell out of Bud.
Aren't you in Kentucky? You should be drinking BBC's stuff.

Hey, nice marmot!
If you're in Indiana, you might have access to Great Lakes beers. I highly recommend pretty much anything they make.
If not, then I'd say
Bodington's Pub Ale
Fransikaner (sp?) Hefeweiss
Smithwick's (Irish Red)
I'd also recommend at least once a week drinking an unholy amout of rum. That way you can stagger around the house saying "But where did all the rum go?". Trust me, your wife will find that hilarious.

Lately I have been enjoying Terrapin Rye when I am out on the town.
I received 50 different beers last year on my 50th birthday and was drinking one beer a night and posting a review of it online on another running forum (flyingmonkeymarathon.com/chatter).
However, I was not adding a new post each day, but was simply editing the initial post. This caused the post to fall off the board after a couple of weeks and I lost it all.
I blame the webmaster.
Good luck though. Updating your beer selection is a worthy quest.
The tangents are moot.
Set the bar low. Crawl under it.

Yes, Indiana. Formerly MI so I think I've tried Great Lakes before, although I was so poor back then it all got buried in cases of Labatt's.
Yeah, instead of rum I used scotch. But a fifth of Glenlivet's every few weeks got expensive and my wife does not like scotch breath. However beer breath is apparently sexy, wonder if that has anything to do with how we met...

I thought everyone made their own white lightning in KY?
What is BBC?

Yep. As far as domestics go this is the best one for flavor, IMO. Yeungling's light beers (regular light and lager light) have some flavor to them as well.
As far as other stuff, it's winter so I have been drinking the heavier stuff, stouts, porters, winter ales, etc., lately. Do you have any microbreweries nearby? There is nothing like going on a brew tour followed by, of course, sampling.
I'm not sure what you have access to but these are some of my favorite microbreweries.
Weyerbacher (PA)
Victory (PA)
Dogfish Head (DE)
Lancaster (PA)
Brooklyn (NY)
Long Trail (VT)
I'm sure there is more. That's just off the top of my head.

This is good shit. I went to a brew fest last fall and this was at the Spaten station. That and their octoberfest were two of the best beers I sampled that day.
I found something by Budweiser called "American Ale". It was surprisingly drinkable. I give it a 6. I think it was about $6.99 for a sixer of bottles. Far, far better than regular Bud which rates a 3 to this reviewer.

New Albanian Brewing Co has a decent selection of beers they produce and their pub/restaurant serves about 50 craft beers otherwise.
I don't know how far outside of Metro Louisville area their products have migrated.
