for what's it worth...f*ck budweiser. garbage! garbage! garbage!
Red Hook was my favorite for many years, out of Seattle, long time ago. f*ckin' budweiser bought
into it. commercialized it (moved it to Woodenville) destroyed it. somethings are never forgotten.
when it washes out, corporate America is crap when it comes down to culture.
stupid budweiser destroyed an excellent American "bitter" beer.
good luck finding something equal in the domestic marketplace. it just ain't so. 

for the last umpteen years I imbibe Deschutes "Black Butte Porter", a very fine brew. 
Europe still has the best beer overall, but the American 'micro's' are the best! seems like every little
city has a number of microbrews.

budweiser just pisses me off! I still hate those assholes.

I hear you John! In 2006 at the World Cup (Soccer) Bud even took over at the Venue's with their darn Ad's. Like the Germans were to drink that shit. As usual, Money talks. Americans just don't really know what "Good" beer is, so they sell you Piss.

Carrefour here do all kinds of foreign beers including a load from Germany. The foreign stuff they have on display tends to vary though, so if they have something good it's best to stockpile it.

The expat bars do all kinds of stuff but the prices are out of this world.

I really love Kirin, but you've got to be careful being seen drinking Japanese beer here. The old Cantonese guys who work in the factory next to my apartment spend all night reading their newspapers. Periodically they'll have a heated discussion - I guess they've just read that the Japanese have done something outrageous or something.

My sister's guy loves Bud but when I go back to the UK in July I'll be on the cider as it's just so impossibly hard to find out here. I never saw the attraction of Bud.

Your in good company Brett. This was the report in The Guardian recently.

'White cider is becoming like heroin among alcoholics, says report

Super-strength ciders are becoming popular among heavy drinkers as tax breaks to protect the industry make them a cheaper fix'

I almost hate to ask this but is white cider anything like hard cider?  Only in American lingo?

And by the way...  What does CSM have to do with any of this?
