Moosehead is some really skunky beer.
Pretty much any beer in a green bottle exposed to the sun or even store lighting will turn skunky.
This is NOT normal! No need to drink it! If someone hand you his/her hiney and it's stinks of skunk - tell them so! This is a defect - that high school/college/yuppie types somehow got to think is normal. In fact I thought it was known by now.......

My favorite draft beer, and not too shabby in the widget can:
Greene King makes good ales! Abbot ale hand pumped is great. I didn't know it came in can with widget - I'm shopping!
A little off topic but I bought a Mr. Beer and am on my 3rd batch of home brewed goodness. It's definatly worth trying if you want to make a semi-custom beer that has a good potential for turning out tasty. www.mrbeer.com
There is a lot of excellent beer made in the area around here. I like a variety of 'hearty' beer, and of the more widely available Guinness on tap is a favorite, as is Negro Modelo, a Mexican dark beer, Pilsner Urquell, etc.
I've never cared for US 'macro beer', but do understand why people flock to what was one of cheapest Mexican beers after they started stuffing a lime in it; Corona ain't got no flavor either :^)

HUh? I'm quite sure this is not true.
Well this is true all beers were dark or cloudy untill 1842. At that time using the lager method, a newly founded brewery in Pilsen, Bohemia, introudced a beer that was golden and clear. It was not the first lager beer, as is sometimes claimed, but it was the first to be golden and clear.

I understand beer history. I understand Bohemia can be the first region to claim clearer beers.
But I don't think it was Urquell that had the first!

Pilsner beer, or Pils, as we know it today is based on a Bavarian type beer. The original Bohemian Pilsner was a dark and opaque, warm fermented beer with a bad reputation. The beer was so bad that one day the Bohemian citizens had enough and dumped barrels of that brew in public protest in the town court.
In 1842, the Pilsen master brewer Martin Stelzer of the "Bürgerliches Brauhaus" (Citizen's Brewery) in Pilsen, called in the Bavarian master brewer Josef Groll from Vilshofen in lower Bavaria to help them make decent beer. Josef Groll brewed on October 5, 1842 the first batch of new Pilsner, and it was a hit.
That means, the very first modern type Pilsner was brewed by at the "Bürgerliches Brauhaus" in Pilsen by a Bavarian. Pablo is right. Urquell wasn't the first.
PS: Way too hopsy!
A Quote from Michael Jackson.
Beer-making in the cities of Pilsen and Budweis dates from the 1200s from breweries in monasteries, and later in royal palaces. Those beers were dark or hazy, but in 1842 Pilsen produced the world's first bright, golden beer, using the lager method. It was the development of golden lager 150 years ago that sealed the Czechs' place in the history of beer.

Well this is correct and the name of that beer is Pilsner Urquell.

Well, that's what it says on every Urquell bottle label. Whether it's true or just marketing babble, I don't know.
Well let's just say the history is a bit murky.
I don't care for newcastle or rolling rock. lately I've been drinking beers made by new belgum brewery, they are a great brewery. red nectar is a favorite.
old standbys for me are Guinness, Old rasputen, Spaten optimator, Martzen, anything by Sierra Nevada or Anchor.
If you are ever in San Francisco you need to take a tour of the Anchor brewery, it is a neat place.
