If I want a "light", I'll grab a Pacifico.
PLEASE...don't no one even get started on Bud Light...the official beer of the Chicago Cubs.
And as much as I love going to The Cell to see The Sox...Guinness on tap, guys...please?
...and just a tip...when in Chicago and looking for a Draught Guinness...check out Jake's on Clark Street (kiddie-corner from the Duke Of Perth)...I can say no more....
(Interestingly, though, I am told that Jake's has Chicago liquor license number three...the Berghoff has number one and Schaller's Original Pump on South Halsted Street has number two...my son and I are thinking about doing a documentary wherein we and a hand picked group of comrades drink our way through the first ten.)

No Old Style?? The beer that didn't make Milwaukee famous. On the few occasions I've had the chance to hang out in Chicago for a couple of days, having an Old Style or three was just the ticket.
We always have Pacificos in the fridge. After many trips to Baja California Sur, the taste of Pacifico reminds me of serious relaxing--and it's the perfect beer for summer Micheladas!

Old Style isn't Old Style anymore. The brand name got bought up by some conglomerate that makes one (disappointing) beer and cans it under several local labels.
NOW....the trick here is that the original Old Style brewery was left standing and some guys from up there around LaCrosse (God's country if you believe the old Old Style commercials) got in there and are now brewing "LaCrosse Lager"...which is, to all intents and purposes, original formula Old Style and Krausened like a bad, bad doggie in the traditional Old Style way.
The bummer is that I haven't had a chance to score some...I drove through LaCrosse a couple of years ago and went right past the brewery and they had GIFT SHOP! We were in a hurry to get home and there wasn't any room in the car for a couple of cases...HOW can that happen...it just ain't right...so I had to sail on and hope that I'd be able to return someday.

Jack Daw,
For some of us the math is easy, keeping it accurate is the more difficult aspect.
I live a short MBTA (public transit) ride from twenty-two brew pubs. I could have a different brew every night of the week if add in the different brews of Boston Beer Works (Sam Adams).

I like Sam Adams' Oktoberfest, but none of the rest of SA beers. I drink Heineken only when I'm on the plane b/c that's the best I can get there. We have a couple of very good breweries in or very near Houston. Being a bachelor, my fridge is stuffed with all sorts of brews! But, you won't find Miller, Bud, Pabst...

I like hitting our local brewery & enjoying a pint or two of their Scotch Ale. I use to work at another that sadly closed up shop a couple years ago. They brewed up some rather tasty porters etc, but the owner got bored with it (rich kid)

Ha!Ha! I'm married but don't seem to have a problem keeping the fridge stocked with ales & hard ciders (& the cupboard with whisky), the problem is keeping my wife from drinking up my "supplies"!!!
