Corona sucks. Stella Artois is the only beer in the survey that is drinkable. There. I fixed it for you.

And the lime slice is a silly tourist affectation.

It's worse than that. See my post 15.

The reason that Corona is usually skunked is because it's bottled in clear glass to save money.

Is the cardboard box clear? Do you own a clear cooler? Is your refrigerator...clear....didn't think so.

Stella on the other hand, I like very much.

Me too. First person that mentions Samuel Adams on the thread loses...;)

Corona is great because you get your daily vitamin C intake from the lime so it should be considered a health drink.

Corona’s good, but Stella is the king (queen?) of the lagers.

I'm good with that! ha-ha

Re, best beer. I no longer imbibe but I developed a taste for the German beers during my four years in that country during the seventies. I didn't drink much beer on my return to the States because, compared to the German brew, American beer was very light. Eventually though, I turned to the Sam Adams beers. I especially liked the darker ones as they more nearly mimicked the taste of German beer. Some have said that Corona is like water and I agree. Far too light.

Yes, it's terrible. Stella on that list is far superior, so is Guinness. I've never been a Heineken lover myself. I like Beck's Dark, Negra Modello, Amstel light, and if I'm just hanging out I'd far prefer to drink a Michelob Ultra than a Corona any day.

I can see Corona winning the poll. It’s not my favorite, but its light body and mild taste probably appeals to a lot of casual beer drinkers.

As for the rest of the list:

2. Heineken: Oh, how I’d like to make a Blue Velvet quote here. :-). Instead, I’ll just say I much prefer another Dutch beer called Grolsch.

3. Guinness Draught: I speak blasphemy here, but I’m not a huge stout fan. I will say Guinness is the standard, but it’s just not a style I’m all that wild about.

4. Stella Artois: A very tasty lager. I love Belgian beers - they try things that no one else seems to think of.

5. Budweiser: I never cared much for Bud. I’m not a beer snob or anything - I drink Rolling Rock and Stroh’s - I just don’t care much for the taste of Budweiser.

****

BTW, if I got to pick the top five, my list would be:

5. Any brand of Weizen (German wheat beer). I’m a big fan of the style.

4. Rolling Rock - My uncle says it tastes like panther pee, but I love it. Good brew when you’re eating spicy food.

3. Sapporo Black - don’t know if they make this anymore, but man alive was that good beer!

2. San Miguel lager.

1. Newcastle Brown Ale - I could easily drink this one any day of the week.
