Sure, why not ?
But i do work tomorrow so just one beer for me.
Yes, unless the beer is any of the following:
Any light beer
Bud
Coors
Any variant of Molson
Heinekken
Castlemaine XXXX
Stella
Holsten Pils
The answer becomes definitely if you have:
Hoegaarden
Kronenburg
C'est What
Steamwhistle
Harp
Nookie Brown
Boddingtons or
Rickards Red

Can I have wine instead - beer makes me bloated.
i've got a grammar exam tomorrow.. it counts toward my graduation, so it's not a good idea to get drunk.
can I have a beer tomorrow?

hehe, if you want to taste some really good (local, non-massproduced) beers, you should visit Bavaria (yes, I know that was predictable).
you can stay at Sleepy&Husband's cozy bed and breakfast (=couch) if you bring a haggis for my dad
Any light beer - nope not on a diet
Bud - nope, thats fer toilets
Coors - see abaove
Any variant of Molson - above, and they're on strike, never break a strike!
Heinekken - nope
Castlemaine XXXX - no ider what this one is
Stella - its ok
Holsten Pils - nope
The answer becomes definitely if you have:
Hoegaarden
Kronenburg
C'est What
Steamwhistle
Harp
Nookie Brown
Boddingtons or
Rickards Red - I like the honey one
But tonight its an old french beer: (well Quebec beer) called maudit - very good, and maybe some Holy Grale (the monty python beer from sussex)

Lets see now:
Hoegaarden - Belgian I think it is made from wheat, very nice stuff although perhaps an acquired taste
Kronenburg 1664 - This is either French or Belgian, another of my favourites. Nice clean taste
C'est What - Canadian bottled in Toronto's distillery district. It has hemp in it, the name is a play on words: Hemp? Say what?
Steamwhistle - Another toronto microbrewery, located near the harbour. I've had some enjoyable days down their on a sunny afternoon looking out at the lake.
Nookie Brown - You may be more familiar with the name Newcastle Brown Ale. A nice dark beer
Boddingtons - The cream of manchester
Rickards Red - Canadian, I like red beers and this is my favourite of them.
Harp - Irish, often overlooked by people going for guinness but it is ten times nicer
And as far as the trip to sample beer from bavaria goes - yeah, that'd be cool. I'll be arriving monday. There is a great place in the merchant city section of glasgow where they sell beers from all over the world. I remember there was some preety good german & Czech beers but I couldnt pronounce them so I just looked and pointed.
Well liking moosehead (I always keep a 12 of moose in the house) cancels out the Stella misstep. Have you Tried Alexander Keiths? It is similar to moosehead
Its cheap Australian stuff, even worse than Fosters Ice (if that is possible). However a lot of places in Glasgow it can be found on sale as 8 500ml cans for 5 pounds

I am having a Leinehugels Sunset Wheat. It's pretty good when you've got Miller Light and all the others to choose from.
Let me just describe the American Beer Case (at your average grocery store here in my town):
The premium beers
Killians Red (I like)
Blue Moon (pretty good)
Heinekin (ehh)
Guiness (ehh)
Bass (I like)
Pete's Wicked Ale (I love it)
And the list goes on
When I want something special I like to go to the liquor store (you get more bang for your buck)--- I love fall because they have the most delicious pumpkin ale ever. Fall is also good because of this event called the brewers jam and you go to the park and sample all kinds of beers.
and if you're low on cash and want to drink your troubles away a forty of Steel Reserve or St. Ides is the way to go (but I don't recommend that very often)
And I have discovered that different towns have different beers for sale. and some local restaurants have microbreweries in them and you can get some good beer in those places. And there's usually about four to choose from: a light beer, a stout beer, an amber (I do like amber ales) and a seasonal.
And another awesome beer I had at a Mexican restaurant was a Carta Blanc ---but it's hard to get.
