What's The Best Beer?

Over on the New Year thread gh said that "P.U." was the world's greatest beer. Colour me dull, but what the heck is P.U.? Or was that a stinky pun? At any rate, I figure beer is a subject near and dear to every track fan/athlete's heart, so it's a worthy topic for starting off the new year. What do you think is the greatest beer? My vote is for Moosehead. And you?

I took a tour of the Moosehead brewery a few years back while on a bicycle trip in New Brunswick and have been drinking it ever since !

Lagunitas IPA is tasty.

Trois Pistoles is excellent if you're a beer snob.

Anything from Stone Brewing Company.

"PU" is Czech beer, Pilsner Urquell. I would stipulate, though that while it's the greatest overall beer, clearly the best breakfast beer is Kirin Ichiban.

Beer, more than just a fine breakfast food!

Nothing American-that's for sure. Do a lot of things well but not brew beer for some bizarre reason.

The US of A makes some damn fine craft brews, but anybody who casts a vote for Butwiper or Colorado Coolaid should be banned from the board!!!!!

Beer tastes like carbonated donkey piss no matter what kind it is.
