i like most of our domestic beers in Austria, for example : Trumer, Wieselburger, Stiegl, Schladminger, but i also like some import beers like Corona or Becks or Heineken.

I quite like Boston Lager myself. My first taste didn't win me over, but I liked it more each time I had it. It's different because it has a pretty strong, hoppy flavor, which some people don't like. That's the great thing about beer: everyone has their own taste (and beer afficianados aren't nearly as snobby as wine conesseurs). I quite like Heineken, too. My general rule of thumb is that if it comes in a can, I won't touch it. And if it's Pabst Blue Ribbon, I'll sooner drink my own urine.
I suppose it depends on how strong you like your beer to be. If we're talking 5% stuff like Stella (which i hate - it's so full of chemical crap) Try Peroni (Nastro Azuro) or San Miguel for that mediterranean vibe. Or if you like your beer a little sharper go for the East European Staropramen or Pilsner Urquell. If its a strong beer that you want to enjoy at home not just chuck down your neck, than you can't go wrong with the trapist style Belgian offerings like Leffe (around 6.5%) or Duval (about 8.5%) - they're an aquired taste, but a taste well worth aquiring
This is what's available in the UK, i don't know if you can get all of these in the US.
BevMo doesn't even carry them. I saw a special on beer about month ago, and they said Yuengling was the oldest brewery in the US. With a history like that, you know this stuff is good.
Mmmm, an Eclipse. If you let it settle the color difference is so drastic that it just looks weird, but it tastes surprisingly good.
Well, there is brandy and then there is Brandy. I can't see how anything can be that good. I know we are talking about Hennessey and Remy Martin, but I haven't even seen these products because I don't know anyone who sells them. If I ever find someone rich enough to afford one of these then I will try a sip, but I doubt it can be that good, aged 50 years or not.Oh, so that's what that store "BevMo" near a restaurant my family likes to visit is all about. I had one near me, and I never new it. I'll go there one of these days. But, checking out their internet store, they have some high prices, don't they? Wow! $1,000 for a bottle of Brandy!
I would be one of those people. In their TV ads they talk about how they use twice as much hops in their beer as any other American brand and I remember my first thought being, "and that's good how?" Some of their seasonal blends call for less hops and aren't as bad. That reminds me, a co-worker told me he saw their Holiday Pack out the other day. It's tempting to grab the remnants of the Octoberfest and a couple of holiday packs too. Old Fezziwig and the Holiday Porter are calling my name.
Beer afficionados aren't snobby until they hear someone talk about how much they love Bud Light, or something similar. I'm guilty of trashing their choice of beer over a comment like that. Usually it's because they will trash talk imports but upon questioning I find their experience barely goes beyond Corona and Dos Equis. If they're lucky they may have had a Guiness from a can.
I've seen presentation cases of some sort of single-malt aged vintage version of Midleton Irish Whiskey in my local off-license going for 2200 (that's about $2700!). For 2 bottles of whiskey in a nice box!
