Help Please - What's Your Fav US Diet Beer?

[Jaimoe]

I love Japanese beer but this is for my trip to Hawaii.
I'm gonna get my fix of Sam Adams & Kona: http://www.konabrewingco.com/ (their Pale Ale is great!)
& mix it up with a few 'lite' beers  :)

4 days to go then I'm off!!!

Totally off topic, I read that Evangeline Lilly's (one of the stars of LOST?) house in Kailua burnt down yesterday. Kailua is where I'm staying.
Relevance, I hear you ask? None whatsoever!

Maybe you'll be able to find a good Canadian beer like Moosehead in Hawaii?

I shall look out for it & definitely give it a try if I find some  :)

Mind you, I've never had the US imported Moosehead. I assume it's not as good as Moosehead brewed and sold in Canada - eg. I know Molson Canadian sucks in the US, but it's the #1 brand in Canada and it's pretty darn good as mass-marketed beers go.

We finally got Moosehead here!

A great beer and Moosehead makes a killer light beer simply called Moose Light.

Excellent, I'll keep my eyes peeled when I'm at the Liquor Board tomorrow.  

What do you think of Alexander Keiths?

Keiths is one of my favourite beers, especially on tap. I think Brits and Yanks would love the stuff, along with some varieties of Sleemans.

i love keiths!!  (i still pronounce it keets - do you jaimoe?)
when we were in highschool, one of our good friends passed away, and he was a big drinker of moosehead.  we had a party in his honour, and we sold all of the beer stores out of moosehead.   8-)  i think he would have been proud.

i didn't know sapporo bought sleeman's.  man that's kind of weird.  all of the nice littler breweries are getting bought up.  mother.  sleeman's beer is yummy, i hope it doesn't get all messed up.

I sometimes call Keith's "Keets" in honour of the wonderful accents of our Nova Scotian brothers and sisters.  

John Sleeman sold the company to Sapporo, so it wasn't like some Godzilla came around and gobbled up a smaller company. I believe Sapporo - and the Japanese for that matter - are the best company Sleeman could have chosen. They will honour the Sleeman tradition of quality and hopefully not lay anyone off - that's the vibe I got when I heard about the takeover.

Can you guys in N. America get good English beer?
Fullers, Youngs, Theakstons & Badger beers are my favs:

Theakston's Old Peculiar is pretty special.

We do here in Commonwealth Canada. I don't know the brands you listed except for Badger, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. There are hundreds and hundreds of English/Irish/Scottish pubs in downtown Toronto. I normally drink Canadian micro-brews and even some major market Canadian beers like Canadian, Sleeman's Pale and Moosehead - and Coors Light (brewed by Molson).

Sleeman's Pale Ale were going down far too easy tonight.

[dragonboy]

Ended up trying Bud Lite & Sam Adams Lite, preferred the former.
Also tried Sam Adam's Winter Lager which was OK but I still prefer their Boston Lager.
Lots of Kona's Pale Ale, still my fav US beer.
