I had some Warsteiner the other day...Not a fan of the dark stuff...but the light stuff is good.

Also this might sound a little off the wall...but this shiet is effin' GREAT. When I was in Germany visiting family, my uncle asked if i wanted one. I told him no, but he kept insisting. an hour and a half later...i drank the whole 12 pack and had a pretty nice buzz going. Don't knock it until you try it.

Moose Drool was really good. I need to do a side-by-side with Newcastle, but it was definitely better than Fat Tire. I'm sure you'll enjoy that kit.

All three are very different beers... Newcastle is a mediocre English-style Brown Ale. Fat Tire is an Amber Ale with a bit more dominant hop-note. And Moose Drool is a very well done American-Brown, with a sweetness, and prominent chocolate and toffee notes.

I remember several years ago when I thought Newcastle was great. A couple months ago I had a couple and was blown away with how little I liked it. I mean, I'll still take it over any of the pathetic Bud, Coors, or Miller... But it's just not a very good beer. Too much carbonation for the most part. Coupled with the fact that it is practically a non-alcoholic beer (only 4.7% abv). There's just not much appealing about it. The high carbonation ruins the drinkability.

Moose Drool is sweet and velvety, with proper carbonation. Makes a great, easy drinking, session beer with a modest ~5.5% abv. I like it for a cheaper simple beer when I don't want to get a big buzz while I'm out and just want something to relax with.

And Fat Tire is just not good... I mean, some of New Belgium's seasonal stuff is ok, but Fat Tire isn't one of them. It's not the worst... but it's nothing I'd want to pay for.

I did have another bottle of Moose Drool last night and it's definitely better than Fat Tire. By far. With that said, I am not on your level when it comes to beer. Lol.

Obvious troll is obvious.

It's not even a fair comparison though. I mean, on a personal level, sure. But beer to beer, they're in two different categories. And it's part of my job to learn what I do about beer. You can oust me in the foreign, animal-infused liquors //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Crazy jabbarese and their aminal-infused likkers. Don't think I could ever bring myself to drink the one on the right.

Actually that's Korean. Name is Insamju, and it's a ginseng root inside Soju. Actually they are all Korean except the Habushu (the one with the snake in it).

Yep we all tell tales of Habusake on the boat. Make the nubs drink it when they get their dolphins. For some reason, I was thinking that was squid, not ginseng. Ginseng I can handle.
