    For those of you who think beer is awful, I think you should branch out and try different kinds.  I thought it was awful for years too.

    You might be pleasantly surprised that there are some very nice, flavorful beers out there.  (...and their names are NOT Coors, Miller, Bud, etc.etc..)

    I agree!  And if you want one that doesn't taste like beer you could always get a hummingbird water.  It's two beers mixed together but one is a raspberry one so it doesn't taste like beer at all :-p

    This is actually a cider mixed with a beer but it's not a "normal" beer.  They brew it differently so it doesn't have the "beer taste".  3 of the GM in our wedding have a home brewery and one of them is going for his masters in brewing(yes it can be done).  Hummingbird is my FAVORITE thing to drink at Flying Saucer.  They tried explaining it to me but I just smiled and nodded.

    I have tried every beer DH drinks at Saucer and I have yet to find one I can finish.  I will start out thinking I can do it and just can't finish it.  I am still trying though.

  • Ben loves the Flying Saucer--he goes almost every Friday night.  He also has drank every beer at the Bavarian Grill--I think they have over 100.  He got a big personalized stein when he was done.

    This wasn't all in one night, obviously.

    My friend that does my hair works at Flying Saucer and she keeps telling me to come in and she will bring me several different kinds to try...she swears I will like some that they have because they are better than the regular old Miller, Coors, Budlight, etc.

  • I love the Flying Saucer!  The only beers I can't drink are IPAs.  Yuck!

  • I'm in the UFO club and I'm "tried" 45 beers since October when we signed up.  I say tried in "" because I order them, try them and 99.9% of the time have someone else drink the rest.  I can at least say I have tried them then.  DH and I are trying to get our plates at the same time so we normally go 1-2 times a week.

  • I used to love beer...a little too much! It made me gain weight, so I stopped drinking it.

    I love Shiner Original. 

    I tried a beer while we were in Europe and it did really bad things to my stomach. So, I don't know if my tolerance is just down since I stopped drinking beer about a year ago or what. But it wasn't fun, and I won't be doing that again.

    Yum, Shiner Original!  That might be the first food/beverage choice we have ever agreed on!

    We are members too.  I think I am at somewhere between 35-40.

  • Another beer drinker here! Most of the time, I prefer mixed drinks, but if I'm hot, I just want a beer. So summertime is when I maximize my beer consumption.

    Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Diet Dr. Pepper

    Beer: Coors Light is my go-to beer. I let DH order me a lighter beer whenever we go to Flying Saucer so I can "branch out" from the common types of beer.

    Wine: Pinot Noir is my favorite, but any red will do.

    Mixed Drinks: Rum and Diet is my go-to. But lately I've been having my favorite bartender make me surprises -- Lemon Drops and German Chocolate Cake. Yum!

    Liquor: Whiskey, believe it or not. In particular, DH and my "thing" is Wild Turkey. We ran through many, many bottles at our wedding (not just us!)

  • Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water): Peach Tea

    Beer: Strongbow! (a cider beer)

    Wine: Reisling white

    Mixed Drinks: Pomegranate Martini from BJs, yum!

    Liquor: Patron

  • Non Alcoholic Beverage (other than water):Coffee!!

    Beer: Sol and Blue Moon

    Wine: Fetzer Gewurztraminer, Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, Times Ten Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon

    Mixed Drinks: Mojito's

    Liquor:Not a fan of it straight, but mixed I guess I like Vodka, Rum and Tequila
