I know many now drinking threads have been done, but not with out the rating twist. It's not much of a twist, I apologize. Feel free to add booze or mixed drinks as well. I just thought the 'Beers' part flowed nicely.
Right now: Yuengling Black & Tan - 3.5 / 5
I've been trying different six packs of mainly imported beers since my 21st birthday a month ago and today I went domestic. Can't say I've had a black & tan by any company, but it doesn't seem to change things. Kind of just tastes like yuengling to me.
I'll also throw in a rating for the best beer I've had in my little beer testing month...
Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat - 5/5
nice, kind of thick flavored beer. delicious.

Boulevard Wheat, straight from my neck of the woods.
Maybe I'm biaist (I'm currently drunk and can't remember how to spell,) because the brewery is in my backyard, but it's delicious, and powerful!!!

long trail double bag - 5/5 a strong ale with alot of the hop, which im not normally a fan of, but i adore this beer. too bad i cant find it on the left coast [of the us]. and as a lovely kicker it is 7.2% alcohol.
dos equis amber - 3/5 a good lighter, en masse drinkable beer. has a very versatile taste, and goes well with almost anything. still doent trump my hometown favorite of miller high life tho.
guiness draught bottles - 4/5 its guiness, the alcoholic version of chocolate milk. but the 'drink it straight from the bottle' widget doesn't do it justice. black and tans are delicious as well.

i've never thought pabst tasted particularly great, but it is cheap which is nice.
As an aside, I have a pabst blue ribbon neon clock. It has been sitting in my closet since I moved. I need to hang that shit.

Yeah you are right. Pabst is an aquired taste, but once you get it, damn, life is good. :D
Hang that clock immediately.
I have my own clock aside. I ordered an aphex twin clock from ebay and got hosed on the deal. I was out 20 bucks, which sucked, but the shittiest part was getting teased into thinking I'd finally have a cool looking clock.

Pabst truly is the beer world's best kept secret. Like you said, once you start acquiring that taste then you're golden because it's cheap as hell and gets the job done.
Plus, it's got some cred from all the cool movies it's been referenced in.

hey "curbcreeper"
i live in philadelphia - let me make you hip to something - yuengling (or as they call it here "lager") is gross rice made beer - their "black and tan" is bullshit - its a mix of porter and yuengling original - a black and tan is a stout and a porter / strong ale, their version is shit - you also need to mix one right before you drink it, if it settles too long the point is lost
sam adams cherry wheat is a good beer but there are many better fruit beers around - lambic peach is amazing, magic hat #9 is awesome, and any maine blueberry beer is tastey (avoid pumpkin beers though, they're gross)
the best beer in the world is La Fin Du Monde brewed in canada - Dogfish head is far and away the best american brewery (their 90 & 120 minute IPA's are the BEST) - any new england micro is likely to have at least one great beer - the west coast is full of great beers too many to mention - try barley wine's some time, they range from 10-13% alch. - they will kick you in the face and you will enjoy it
at least, i know i do
long trail is the best slept on new england beer - pabst has become a hipster fuck beer (even though i still like to think its ok since i liked it before it was cool) - guinness draft has a lower alch. percentage than keystone light, bud, pabst, and coors light - guinness extra stout (8%) is where its at - it actually tastes like something

that's interesting about the yuengling
i've had a magic hat before and i did enjoy, but i don't remember if it was some special brew. winter, summer, whatever etc.
that maine blueberry beer sounds very good. any specific brand you recommend? and have you seen it in the philly area?

oddly enough in philly they only stock in stores and sell in bars what i consider to be the WORST maine beer of all - allagash - i went to the maine brew fest two years in a row and allagash was the worst beer there - the tripel was so bad it took two stout samples to get the taste outta my mouth
maine beers worth noting
shipyard - portland, ME old thumper - awesome british style ale, with alch. force, and taste
export ale - wicked good basic ale
sea dog - used to be camden, now brewed by shipyard, portland
hazelnut porter - best porter on the planet blueberry ale - cleanest and smoothest ive ever had
bar harbor - bar harbor, ME summer ale - strong and refreshing, way summer beer should be
blueberry ale - very mild blueberry aftertaste, wicked smooth, wicked refreshing
all other good maine beers are pretty hard to come by as they are small times (minus gritty's, geary's, and a few other large breweries)
i was in brigantine this summer at a friends place and found bar harbor blueberry at a liqour store - i dont know where in brigantine we were but it was a sizable shop on the corner of a main street next to some surf shop place (hope that helps!)

oh man that's great. i know right where that store is. oddly enough because it's the only liquor store in town, aside from a bar with package goods.
thanks for all the recommendations, i will definitely pick up bar harbor on my next outing.
that's some really odd chancing that you happened to be in brigantine and saw that beer. heck, i never even knew brigantine existed until i moved here :)

I'm no connoisseur of beers, but I usually like to try something new, so I probably rate Hoegaarden, also Stella Artois, also lagers in general. I like Heineken pretty well, too.

tonight i am drinking 'jw dundee's original honey brown flavored lager'
3.5 / 5
i've been fond of flavored stuff lately, but honey doesn't appear to be my thing. it's a domestic lager from a brewery in rochester, ny. i used to go up there to visit my 'aunt' and her family. it was really just one of my mom's friends, but we called her aunt.
oh and magic hat #9 i'd give a 4 / 5 i guess. i can't say i remember what an apricot tastes like, but it's good in this beer.

We have some great microbreweries here. A place called Appalachian Brewing Co. makes an ale called Jolly Scott which is excellent. Also a company called Troegs is local and they have a some good beers that tend to be on the hoppier side if you like that.
Someone mentioned about Yuengling Black & Tan, which is good but I especially like their Porter (B&T is just their porter and premium mixed).
Someone also mentioned about JW Dundee's Honey Brown. That is not the best honey beer although it is one of the more popular ones. Pete's Wicked Honey Wheat is good and Sam Adams has a honey porter which I'm not sure if I had it but I bet it is good.

"Boulevard" is brewed in St. Louis, Missouri... they have delicious beer & anytime I am out on the town, and I'm not drinking white-russians, I am drinking Boulevard Wheat. It is delicious & intoxicating.

so i went back to drinking occasionally after a few month hiatus. i do this from time to time.
i still love guiness. i could drink that stuff during a marathon for refreshment. if i could run a marathon, that is.
it's too expensive though. i need to find a beer i enjoy that is cheap
