The only American beer I can tolerate is yeungling 

 

Ever tried Heady Topper? We have some good ones over here. That one's actually not MY personal favorite, but I do like Switchback and Long-trail. All local. Outside of VT I like me some Sam adams at times, but I like European beers(Never Heineken or Carlsberg though). VT also has some real good hard cider.

Cider I like.  No I haven't tried Heady Hopper, I'll give it a try.  Sam Adams has some decent seasonal beers but I don't do it on a regular basis.  Blue moon is nice in the summer sometimes.  But my standard since I can't get Canadian beer is Heineken or corona.

Ahhh...you're into the lighter ones. Those are just too weak for me, I like the darker ones usually. I also like Guinness beer and my fav European beer is Tuborg(the red label. The green label is too much like heineken) which is really hard to find in the US. I think a good compromise for you - probably better than heady topper would be to try switchback or long trail first.

If you like Yeungling, you'll probably like Miller High Life as well. The two are very similar in taste. I've been drinking the High life for about 5 years now, i love it, and it's fairly cheap.

I too enjoy Heineken, especially with food. For whatever reason Heineken seems to go very well with food for me. When I was in Canada last month I was drinking Molson Canadian, that's one of my fave beers.

I don't think this is what's going to pay for the wall. I also don't think anyone else seriously believes that. If you read the whole article there seems to be some confusion and Spicer opened his mouth too soon again but at the end of the day it wasn't proposed by Trump and doesn't seem like he's a fan and what Priebus said is true, there are other options. Of course with a 20% tax on imports the Mexicans don't pay a dime for that...

Well I don't think that anyone but Trump seriously believes it. It currently feels like the senior republicans sort of look at his comments (and his spokesperson) with alarm, raise an eyebrow, laugh, and say ''oooh you''.. you know like a bumbling drunk uncle everyone simply tolerates to keep peace in the room but whisper about behind closed doors. I'm glad you agree such a tax would be absolutely nonsense, but I don't think I've seen a Presidential spokesperson behave so strangely. My question is though... we seem to be heading into a completely uncharted direction, which people are having a hard time trying to peg down. What would happen if he doubled down on such a measure, leading to offending an entire country (more than he has done already), and putting congress in a difficult position to give a serious rebuke? I have a feeling, with that ego, he would not enjoy such a rebuke. There are a lot of people that say no one should believe it, or it couldn't possibly happen - but I don't share that optimism. There were cheerleading people that literally thought his 20% would be a good idea yesterday. I don't think any of those people have a basic understanding of civics or economics. I think it is foolishly unrealistic to say another nation must pay for structures.

Maybe this is his brilliant way to get people to buy American ?  Coors instead of corona, Jack daniels instead of patron etc

My husband likes Corona, but his true love is Newcastle Brown. I like Magners, that stuff is good.

You might like it if you like the Yeungling. They taste pretty much the same and I think the Miller is cheaper

I don't often buy for home.  Usually just when I go out but I'll give it a try

Becks (german) and Miller was in my previous grocery bag. Didn't have to pay 20% over

I don't know if even Trump does, as per the article you posted. I'm honestly not sure why Spicer got ahead of himself and suggested that this was a good idea or that any Mexican will actually pay that as it doesn't take a rocket scientist or an economist to know it's not a tax on Mexico. I do agree the tax is nonsense, that said, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there are no ways to get Mexico to pay, just not this one. I'm also not saying Trump will get them to pay, but even in our own line of work here albeit on a much smaller scale I've seen it done many times and even did it myself. I'm sure Trump has done it many times too in all the deals he's made. You can get it in by negotiating a completely separate agreement or deal on something or tack a fee on to something completely different sometimes it's done with the other side's consent but sometimes they don't realize it. Like I said countries and businesses might be a completely different story so we'll see what he does, but it won't come from that tax that's for sure.

Only time I've tried miller was when my wife and I were in Milwaukee for Summerfest and of course it's the miller stadium so all they sell is miller. My opinion of it and apparently according to her many people there think the same is that it was piss water lol

To each his own my friend. I like pilsner beer, never really cared for any of the heavier lagers or stouts.
