I enjoy Alexander Keith’s (possibly only available in Canada – if so, I’ll mail you one ;o)

and I’ve heard very good things about Stella (though I could never order one without hollering it, a la Brando)

And of course, Corona – with a lime wedge – on a hot summer day is a refreshing treat.

But I’m no connoisseur.

Those are all excellent choices and give me good places to start.

As much Mexican food as I eat, I should have thought of Corona on my own.

one if I liked beer. I think all beer tastes like ass water.

If you have those in your area… you must, right? Or one made nearby someplace. This is the equivalent to a fine locally roasted coffee. Start with a light one, like a wheat or pale ale or lager.

mmmmm… I love beer. We are blessed with 4 or 5 microbreweries just in a 20 mile radius.

but as one of my least favorite beers of all time (Corona) appears on here several times, I have to speak up. :)

I’m generally a Bud Light kind of girl (cheap, nonthreatening, and available just about everywhere). However, I’ve been inspired by recent adventures in beer tasting to broaden my horizons a bit.

Dos Equis rocks.

I’ve had good luck with anything named Oktoberfest.

I’m about to give Beck’s Light another shot (my first bottle was nearly a year past its best-by date); I think it will find a place on my favorites list.

In fact, a beer-tasting might be a good thing for you. If there’s a World Market near you (or any other store that offers build-your-own-6-packs, just go nuts. Also, some brands offer variety packs of 12 or 15 beers. (You don’t have to drink it all in one sitting. :)

A word of warning: Never, ever, ever drink Natural Light. Not even if you’re lost in the desert and dying of thirst. Not even if a friend offers you one. Be rude.

_{Oh, how I wish someone had told me that last bit.}
