I ordered 29 cases of Yuengling yesterday.  We can't get it in the wilds of Wisconsin.  |

Don't drink any of that 'Lite' beer lager piss. My personal favourites are Samuel Adams and Yuengling.    ...agree 100% with Mr. Brown. |

To be honest, the beers I've seen most across-the-pond traveling CA'ers drink here in the States has been crap like IceHouse, Natural Lite and other assorted wee wee. I once saw someone drink 2 of them during Sebring! You mamby pambies need to get your act together. Nigerian Lager was designed by psychopathic Irishmen to accompany potato picking and car racing.  |

To be honest Dave, I never saw any UK-based CA member's drinking weak watery wee-wee when I was there in 05. Had I done so words woulda been exchanged. Wishy, great to hear you and NP are going, you'll have a blast. Not only will you need a list of what to drink (and Nigerian lager is as good as anything). You'll also need a very long list of what to avoid. Certainly don't touch anything with the word "Lite" involved. Don't go near anything with the word Budweezer written on the bottle (the King of beers my arse, king of piss more like) and definitely don't drink anything given to you by a man known only as The Amazing Randy. It will probably be non-alcoholic.   |

Sam Adams and Yuengling are safe bets for the British - as they kinda resemble British beer in taste and colour/consistency.
I'm with Dave H - Guinness is an ideal track beer that you can get a decent buzz from - and it won't injure you, just as long as you keep it nice and cold.
Labatts? Are you guys totally nuts? It's the most hideous chemical monstrosity - and delivers the most stinging hang-overs - no way, no day.
In fairness, you can get most canned/bottled beers at local FL Supermarkets (Publix) or the local ABC Liquor Store. So if you hanker for Boddies or Tets, Fullers or Wife-Beater, Hienie or Molson - it's all here - we're not in the third world, you know....
I'm not a fan of Lite beer - but in mitigation, I feel that there is nothing wrong with Michelob, Bud or MGD either.

As Dave said, ABC liquors in Sebring is less inconvenient than most other places and they can order whatever you'd like, provided their distributors carry it. Just call at least a week in advance. |

I don't blame you. To be honest, unless you end-up on the VERY low end of the economic scale buying beer in the US, you can't go wrong. Just avoid brands that sound like they could be slang for womens' front bottoms (e.g. Schlitz, Old Milwaukee and Red Stripe)... all being particularly filthy.
I flew into Talladega for the Diehard race one year. To my horror, my "friends" (Fax being one of them), who were arranging the booze purchase because they had driven motorhomes to the event, had purchased one brand of beer. Bud Light.
I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for the Wild Turkey, various Schapps and something that had to have been straight from a still, I would never have got pissed. I have the same problem with Coors Light - however, it does keep these powerful ab muscles prominent through my shirt (under my mantits).

That sounds like drinking Fosters,Coors,Bud and Miller here!!!
And for that matter 33,Kantenbrau etc ....from that strange country which we frequent on the odd occasion,across the Channel
On the lager front I prefer Stella,Grolsh and Orangeboom.
Mind you we did goto a Belgian bar in East Malling in Kent the other week.The food menu was limited,but the beer menu was awesome.
Tried Quak and a few others......deffo mind blowing liquid!!!!
