Okay, no Genesee jokes, but Miller and and Budwieser have come out with some potentially okay tasting beers. Bud's Black Crown and Miller's Fortune. Normally I stay away from BudMillerCoors Swill beers, but I am curious to see if anyone has tried BC or Fortune? If so, are they head and shoulders above the generic swill form these companies?

I cannot believe that Miller could ever, ever make anything decent. The only beer that ever gave me a sour stomach back in my college days was Miller.

You get a free one after D2R2 and it's awesome. Unfortunately can't get it in Maine.

Miller, although I also don't drink anymore. A guy offered me a Miller Genuine Draft after a day doing casement work in TN 2004-5. His cooler was packed full of ice, and it was damn cold, and the spot was accommodated to my surprise. ;)

I used to like the piss beers really cold, like Oylmpia ad Coors, regular Coors. Coors light seems redundant to me. Other than that I liked Pilsner and the Fall brews on occasion.

Every time I find a new microbrew I like, it has disappeared from the shelves or bar the next time I try to buy it. Oy.

Hey Dan,

Love Berkshire Brewing. My parents live in Western Mass. and my Dad always has BBC ales in the fridge when I visit. Whole Foods in Portland carries some BBC product--not sure if they have the Steel Rail.

Thanks David, I'll check it out. When I looked at the website, it didn't show any Maine distribution. Another reason you should try D2R2 - they have 3 varieties on tap.

Fortune is OK, has a pretty high % ABV (6.9). Busch has a Copper Lager, haven't tried it.

Wish I could find some decent light beer.
