Jaked On Green Beers

Tonight, let's talk about BEER :). I love the taste of a good flavorful beer. After a long day at work, a good beer can be a great beverage to end the day. When I was playing a lot of live shows, I always enjoyed a delicious beer before going on. It kept my hands from anxiously tapping on tables and bars. Yes, beer is a wonderful thing friends. But not just any beer friends. First of all, drinking beer shouldn't be about how much you can drink. That type of drinking should really be left for the frat boys who have nothing better to do with their parent's money. "YEAHHH LETS POUND A CASE OF KEYSTONE AND PLAY BEEEEER PONGGG" No thanks. I enjoy the finer beers rather then that swill.

Here are some of my all-time favourite beers. Guinness ranks number one favourite beer of all time. Ireland's greatest import EVER. If I ever make it to Ireland some day, you bet I'll go to the Guinness plant! :) I don't drink it all the time, but when I do, it's a taste of what heaven would be for me. Newcastle comes in second. Another wonderful import that has a real great taste. Very delicious. Red Stripe comes in third. It's a real tasty import from Jamaica that I don't always get to drink, but is absolutely delicious. If you're ever in the Bay View area, I suggest going to Cafe Centraal. HUGE list of beers (and wine) from Belgium.

You can't really go wrong with Leinenkugel's when you want a beer that has some tasty flavor to it. Leinies (as some like to call them for short) always has made quality beer. Leinies Creamy Dark is a tasty one, as well as the Berry Weisse. If you want something with a more fruitier tasty, the Berry Weisse is a nice change from some of their other selections. My lil brother's favourite was the Apple Spice which is long-gone. The summer months always call for their popular Summer Shandy which is a pretty good lemon-y beer.

Mexico has some of the tastiest imports. Negra Modelo is my favourite from south the border. Hell, it even comes in a champagne-like bottle. Talk about presentation. The taste just compliments any Mexican meal. When I visited Cancun back in 2004 with some friends, the only beers you could get anywhere were Corona and Dos Equis. Dos Equis easily dominates Corona. I do enjoy Corona at times (best served with the lime) , but Dos Equis Amber is far better. The rich taste is muy bueno.

Other noteworthy beers I enjoy are Lakefront Brewery beers, the classic Pabst Blue Ribbon, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Amstel, Heineken, Killian's Red...I could literally go on forever on some of my fav beers, but need to stop so I can get some sleep. Remember the next time you're thinking about having a cold one, try something different. Miller Lite isn't the only beer to drink despite it being the "official" beverage of the Cheese State. Hopefully this blog post makes you thirsty for some beer. Ha! Art-update in the next blog. Stay tuned folks!
