I've always had a love for European and British beers. Yes, I do drink Miller, but I usally have two beers at night, and the first one is from across the sea, usually. Depends upon funds sometimes. I got this one tonight, and really like it.

Yes. Funny to see a reply to this old thread considering I haven't been on here for a few years and starting reading some old threads a few days ago.
Be well and sling a few back for me
No it does not. I hope their new ad campaign buries that vile liquid. Go Woke, Go Broke.
Well, after that last 10 minutes at Lincoln Field, I had to drink something! I actually like this 4.5 beer. At my age, I'm not looking to get wrecked.
I treated myself to a six pack of each of these for Christmas, my two favorite German beers. Both are only 4.8%, but the amount of hoppiness is perfect, not strong, just perfect in my opinion. And they both have a wonderful head in the bottle. Try it.
When I was about 19 my brother gave me a few cans of 3.2 beer. He was in the Air Force. It had nearly no effect on me, and I was skinny.
The oatmeal is great too; boil for 1 minute, then put the top on and let it sit for 2 minutes. Done. And not pasty like here in the US for some reason.

When I was in college in Virginia (a couple hundred years ago) you could get 3.2 beer if you were 18. We called it "near beer" back then.
Well, they even served that 3.2 beer in the University snack bar, I was 19 as a freshman. But that stuff was terrible. We would go out of state on road trips to places where the drinking age was 18, like New York. Maybe Washington, DC? Can't remember...
"The past year saw the lowest level of beer consumed in the U.S. in a generation, according to industry group Beer Marketer's Insights, as consumers shifted away from traditional favorites to other forms of alcohol — and in a growing number of cases, avoiding alcoholic beverages altogether."

This caught my eye, because I've also been drinking much less beer recently. Not any kind of a health kick, it's just that the older I get, the more I dislike the way I feel the next morning. Not talking about a serious hangover or "hugging the bowl", it just makes me feel worse than I would otherwise. I think much of it is all the snacks I eat along with the beer. Gonna put some wings on the grill and have a couple beers anyway tonight though!
Beer drinking in America falls to the lowest level in a generation
The boycott of Bud Light was just one factor in a year of industrywide declines.

I celebrated this morning. Took my wife out to breakfast. I had coffee.
I am drinking an Icarus Higher Still triple IPA right now. 10.8% ABV. Just how I like my beer. Why drink six when three will do ? 
If you haven't tried brews from Icarus, especially straight from their flowing taps in bucolic Lakewood, NJ, please hurry. Research, and history in general, have proven definitively that we will all be dead soon. The beer is really that good.
Happy New Year everyone!! Buuuuurrrrp.

this is the one i agree with so far and will add Rolling Rock to the conversation.
Good brew Bob. Bells was not distributed in NJ until maybe 10 years ago. I was glad to see that happen. I used to get it from my buddy whose daughter lived in SC. I rated it 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd
If you ever have the opportunity, try their Hopslam Imperial Double IPA. A walloping 10%er that goes down very smoothly. They don't make it all year unfortunately, so you have to keep your eyes out. I rated it 5 out of 5 on Untappd.
$12.99 a sixer ain't bad at all. I pay $18+ for 4-packs of Icarus pints. Well worth it.
