5 best canned beers!

I always love the headlines that draw you into reading an article. I thoroughly enjoy the thought process when it comes to titling an article. Authors have to be creative, catchy and yet informative to really draw people into their article. I believe that MSN.com and CNN.com have both done extremely well, trying to keep the titles catchy but truthful. I sometimes feel that I miss out on good articles because their titles aren't intriguing enough. I guess at the end of the day, if I really cared that much, I could click on the articles that do not grab my attention, just to see what I am missing. I am not that concerned about it, I think I will continue to only read the articles that grab my attention.

For instance today, I clicked on Top 5 Canned Beer article while on MSN homepage. I was saddened as I read the article that I had never even heard of the first four beers let alone tried them. However, as I got to number 5, I was happy to have not only heard about the beer, but also because it has been placed in my list of my top 10 beers. I am happy to report that it is Colorado's own New Belgium's Fat Tire. I am now on a mission to find and try the four other beers. We already know that I rank fat tire pretty high in my list of great beers, I am interested to see if the other four break into my top ten beers. All of my top ten beers serve a different purpose. On a hot summer day an ice cold Corona with a lime hits the spot, or if I am going to play a game of flip cup or beer bong Yuenling light goes down so easily. If I could however have only 1 beer for the rest of my days...it would without a doubt be Boddingtons.

Here is a list of my top 10 beers in no particular order:
  1. Boddingtons
  2. Corona
  3. Kwak
  4. Bare Knuckle Stout (which I still can't find, if you can get it feel free to send me some!)
  5. Murphy's Irish Stout
  6. Yuengling's Black and Tan
  7. Yuengling Light
  8. Sam Adams Summer Ale
  9. Fat Tire
  10. Shock Top
