I’m liking the Peroni! Tks for the suggestion.

I drank a lot of Peroni in 1984 when I was going to school in Rome, Italy. Good times!
Of course, that was long before Asahi Breweries and SAB-InBev took it over.

I do not go to bars to sit and drink, and since The Virus, my wife and I have not gone out to eat in a restaurant, but in the past when we went someplace where I could order a burger and a beer, most places had Yuengling on draft.

He is right, and it is true. You are free to like that kind of beer, but that is objectively correct.

Locally, I love this stuff, not sure if the OP can find it? Made by Slx Fox Brewing in Pottstown, PA



Pikeland Pils
German-style Pilsner
11.0 OG 44 IBUs 4.9% ABV
A northern German-style Pilsner brewed with imported German pils malt and hopped with German and Czech hops. Light in body, light straw in color and dry.

What is the the thin dark band immediately below the foam head? Looks quite odd…

Not implying or, suggesting its a bad thing, they're just low-flavor, low alcohol drinks, I'd gladly pick-up a Lone Star, Banquet or, a PBR for a hot day of grilling. The OP is looking for a beer that is crisp, Czech-style beers were identified, those would be Pilsners and traditional European lagers which have mild hop flavors.

Perroni, Stella Artois, Nastro Azzurro, and Birra Moretti are Italian beers (Northern influenced) refreshing during those blistering hot summer months.

My favorite all time go to is always a Coors Light. My wife cringes when we go to dinner and I order a scotch and coors LOL

I like a beer with dinner. Alcoholic beverages are not conducive to fat loss. So, when I was trying to lose fat, I'd have lite beers with dinner. Of the several I tried, I found Coors Lite to be the least objectionable carbonated, kinda beer-flavored water

I subsequently discovered I could drink Founders All Day IPA for only forty calories more. That was the end of lite beers for me.

Believe it or not Guinness is pretty light on the calories. A 12 oz Bud Light is 110 calories, a Coors light is 102 and a 12oz Guinness is 125. A tasty, tasty 125 calories

Stella is a Belgian beer. Also quite good!

Those are my favorites and go-to beer. I've largely given up on American craft IPA's where they seem to be like I'm drinking a glass of Pine-Sol cleaner, in both the nasty extreme hoppiness and the heavy almost syrupy mouthfeel.

I am sick to death of IPAs. It was never my favorite style to start with, and I thought the trend wouldn't last. But it has, and if anyone gives me another beer that tastes like turpentine, I'll throw it at them.

I can only hope that one of my favorite styles like Belgian ales become popular.

no no no .

Belgians are popular enough,, they don't need to be dicked with any more


gose and sours are feeling that pain now,

Duchesse De Bourgogne, a red Flemish ale, sweet/sour, consistently gets rave reviews. I went to a wine tasting a couple years ago and came away with a sixer of this instead. Excellent beer!

a most excellent sour,

tasted it at a club in DC (Gang of 4 concert ,930 club) , the bartender let me try a sample, and I ended up drinking a couple,

damn fine sour,,

It looks like the camera was lower than the top of the glass and it's the shadow under the foam.

While Guinness is heavily malty, and even a bit sweet, that isn't where the calories are in beer. Guinness is fairly low alcohol at 4.2% ABV (less than the average American style lager) and alcohol is nothing but calories.

Trumer Pils or North Coast Brewing Scrimshaw.

Pilsner Urquell. The first pale lager. Also SeaQuench from Dog Head Fish.

Corona. The beer not the virus. Especially with a wedge of lime.

Trumer is an Austrian beer. Since setting up a brewery in California I've had a few. I've learned avoid the bottles. Light green bottles are always skunky. I've had one six pack in cans that was good. I usually brew a Kolsch style ale for lighter drinking, but my Kolschs are usually around 7 percent. A 12lbs grain bill gets that for you.

Presidente checks all the boxes.

Just cracked open a Shiner Weisse & Easy.
Has a bit of Dewberry flavor, but nice & light/crisp, too.

Haven't seen the regular Shiner Hefeweisen in years.

OK, after perusal of the many beers mentioned, suggestions, recommendations, etc. I took it upon myself to sample some over the weekend. Tough job, eh?...I’ve had many of the ones in this thread at one time or another, if I don’t mention them I’ve never liked them...no offense

Long story short....my go to beer for the beach or after a hard days yard work has been, and will continue to be, Modelo Especial. Simply a great beer, right out of an ice filled cooler, even better. Most of the Mexican lagers fit this bill to one degree or another but Modelo is the one.

New and revisited by me were Peroni Nastro Azzurro (Italy) very good, less filling and good alcohol content. I’ll drink this more often. Great with most any food.

Stella Artois...my go to when nothing else of quality is available. A very good beer.

Pilsner Urquell, simply beer, good. - Czechvar (original Czech lager) similar to Krusovice, - Paulaner original Munich Lager. The European beers, German, Czech, Belgium are what I call porch sitters...relax on the porch after a hard day and savor the flavor and quality of these beers. They are very good but I couldn’t pound them on a hot, sunny beach (not that you should ).

Red Stripe (out of Jamaica) is a good, decent beer. It would suffice for the beach.

Presidente (out of Dom. Rep but brewed in St. Louis “for a fresher taste”), Carib lager (out of Trinidad/Tobago originally but brewed in Cape Canaveral, FL). Seems I’d had each of these when I lived in St. Thomas but they tasted no where near what I remember. I’d try them again if I found them brewed at their source.

Labatt’s Blue and Molson Canadian, very bland, no real taste as I’d had in the past, don’t know what happened but won’t pick these up again any time soon.

Kirin Ichiban...appreciate the mention but not my style, didn’t finish this one. To be fair it was brewed “under Kirin’s strict supervision” in Los Angeles or Willmington, VA. So.....

The lagers from Pennsylvania piqued my interest and I’m going to seek them out on my next visit.

Saw the Terrapins from GA but they didn’t have the Gold suggested so I didn’t try them.

Thanks for the suggestions, opened my eyes to beers I hadn’t thought of and just wanted something different than the current craft style of triple hopped with cherry mashings at 8% alcohol.

Thanks Sig Forum!
