Bud Fans: Beware




Beer. Some people hate it, others love it. While beer in college is usually related to wild "frat parties" in copious amounts of irresponsible craziness, there are a select few college students who like to actually taste our beer, not inhale it.

For the adventurous beer drinkers like me, here's a few I highly recommend.

Caution: If you're strictly Bud or Miller, do not attempt to try these beers.

5. Craft beers are finding their way to major supermarkets, such as Publix and Winn Dixie. Flying Dog, which is being featured at Publix, features multiple variates ranging from
Porters to Ales. "Good Beer. No Shit." Try my favorite, "In-Heat-Wheat."

4. Eye of the Hawk. A great one for an afternoon tailgating. "The Harley Davidson of American beers" boasts the Mendocino Brewing Company. Rich body and deep flavor.

3. St. Pauli Girl. "With three special brews, there's a St. Pauli Girl for you!"An imported German beer. My favorite, St. Pauli Girl Special Dark, is smooth with a rich malty taste. (Be prepared with your date of birth to enter the web site- 21 and up only.)

2. Modelo. You Corona lovers have to try this one. Related in origin (soy de Mejico), Modelo is known in Mexico as the "elite of beers" (la crema de la cerveza). For extra umph, try Modelo Dark.

1. Val-Dieu Brown. A Belgian beer for those who love thick, dark beers. Almost a meal, the mouth is bombarded with coffee, mocha and chocolate tastes. At 8 percent alcohol volume, a few of these and you'll be set. You can find this gem at Beer World in Boca Raton.
