Who cares, I want women to drink what they like, that way they'll drink more and get drunk. Makes things easier.

Who cares? I don't remember anyone saying they cared about what girls drink, was just making a comparison.

Also i spent most of my life drinking Smirnoff and just now got to liking beers. Started with the shitty light beers Bud Busch Keystone. Now i am learning there are beers that taste good and not like complete ass.

Welcome to manhood! Glad you could join us lol. Seriously - between curly and boris I've discovered a ton of new brews to try.

My wife likes it too, I can't stand it. I at least pick up Hoppin Frog Turbo Shandy for her when I can, tastes better and has 7% abv.

I have to admit that for a moment, I thought the same.

That's a better comparison than I could have made. I was at Quaker Steak the other day for lunch, and was not digging their choices (not a lager guy), so in a moment of desperation, I ordered a Summer Shandy. I think I took two sips. Blech.

If you like this, I'd recommended Abita Strawberry Harvest if you can find it. I used to love the stuff, don't love it as much now as I used to, but its still a quality beer with a nice fruit taste to it.

I don't hate lagers, but I dont prefer them thats for sure. I wont buy them but if I'm offered one I wont be a bitch. That being said top 5 worst beers I have ever had was the Rogue Irish Lager.

Don't let them mess with ya Mirg. The Wife likes Shandy and she's tougher than half the men on this thread, including me. I'll have one every now and then. You drink what you like.

I think he's everyone's home slizzle and I know he's big enough to take the abuse and dish it back. The Wife and I were lucky enough to meet him a while back when he was in Cincy. It's been nice having him on the thread now that he's liking good beer...and the Shandy ;)

Just picked up a bottle of Lagunitas Hop Stoopid and a 4 pack of La fin du Monde. Should be a good evening.

Drinking the Hop Stoopid now, it's been a long time since I had it and remember it being good but not great. Not much has changed, it's not bad for the price (around $5) but plenty of better DIPAs out there. Lagunitas uses a hop extract and think that could affect the taste.

The samuel smith oatmeal stout was very good. I am not a fan of ales, especially IPA's, but the sumpin sumpin of lagunitas was good.
