Suits me fine, the less you drink, the more that's available for me to drink

My fav import is Optimator from Spaten.

Grolsch.....?
+1. Any beer cutting it up since 1615 is OK in my book and the cool bottle. Mostly, it tastes good. ^

I also enjoy Dos Equis amber with a Mexican meal and find Red Stripe pretty refreshing on a hot day.

Duvel. Widely available so no excuse for any decent bar not to carry it (even if they won't have the right glass shape).

I don't claim it is the best, but as others pairing wine with food. We occasionally get some Tiger Beer when cooking home made chilli crab.^
