understood. I have a few friends who got in that way. I wanna be thorough if it matters. The hottest things I still see are these "tini" drinks based on martinis, and new caffeine beers like B(E). they both taste like juice (I actually liked the beer more than a "fruitini")

living in southern cali. so, what do you think of fruitinis (every melon and citrus known to man), or that new beer B to the E (it's got fruit juice flavors, and caffeine)?

I haven't tried that B-E thing yet, but since it's made by budweiser, i'm pretty sure it'll suck. Neutral

But I'm keeping an open mind...

Maybe I'm a little partial to Anheuser-Busch line of adult beverages considering that I live in St Louis and all, but I found B to the E to be rather tasty. At least A-B is expanding the line of beverages.

I couldnt let the King of Beers take a shot without defending him.

no doubt, he is the KING. And though Zima bombed and we all said it would never stick, things change and we're constantly looking for something new….I'll try it for a while. Got a nice buzz the last time.

Spammer!! Hehe just kidding.. But to stay on topic... Budweiser select is actually pretty good.

You guys have obviously never tasted any real beer. If you can ever put your hands on some Sleeman's, Hermann's or Rickard's Red, or Newcastle Brown, I would highly suggest it. There is a reason that American beers are ridiculed the world over...

I have tried 2 of the 3 beers that you mentioned. I agree with you that Budweiser isnt the best beer on the market. I do, however, feel that it is the best of the domestic beers. Why are we talking about beer anyway? We have thousands of recipes for some REAL drinks at our fingertips.

Cheers
