BEER 101:

In general there are two major categories of beer (ale and lager); these two categories may then be broken into smaller categories. Lager is what we grew up on such as ______ (insert the first beer you ever had a sip of and there you go)ie. bud light. Ale is the first import beer you ever tried that you did not like at first but now that you have aged and matured will occasionally drink. ie. newcastle. Lager is bottom fermented (which requires refrigeration) while Ale is top fermented.

LLoyd's Recommendations: ALE: Franziskanker Wheat Ale, Allagash White ale, and Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA

LAGER: Pilsner Urquell, Red Stripe, peroni and Michelob Light.

LLoyd's Dont's: Bud Light, Miller Light, Sierra Nevada(not terrible but you could do better for same price), and Heineken(America's first import).

The Three best places to drink are on somebody else's boat, a bar with taps lining the walls, and Oktoberfest in Munich if you can swing it.
