That picture is weird. 
 
Almost... fake.

I don't understand the point of this topic.

Corona without a lime tastes like a cigarette butt.  
 
I don't see a lime so Brad does not know about beer in my book.

Are those tiny pitchers, or giant men?
 
That reminds me; I'm gettin' me some Ommegang Hennepin tomorrow!

Anyone who drinks lager knows nothing about beer.

Fail.


Brad is drinking a corona, and the other guys are fisting pitchers or a real colored beer.

Well Corona is okay(with lime prefered)...not my first choice though, that honor belongs to Blue Moon...as far as beers go that is.  I have really been into UV and Sprite these past couple weeks though...UV has got to be the best flavored vodka for the price I've seen.  Although my drink of choice would be a white russian...but only if I or a decent bar tender is making it...none of that premixed shit.

Picture looks like it has some sort of weird filter.  Or maybe it was shot in HDR or something.  I do agree that it looks strange...

they look plastic

Mexican piss water.  Drink up, Brad. 
 
Sorry, but if this picture is true and Brad does drink Corona...and Jeff really does drink Coors like his chaser in the gin video implied...then I have lost some faith in these guys.  Where's the GOOD stuff?  Might I suggest heading down to your local grocery store and seeing if there happens to be any Shiner Bock there?  Also, I'm a big fan of most Irish reds.  Killian's, unfortunately, is the only one that we have here in my town.  Really wish we had more.

Looks like someone's been pulling a bit heavily on the "Fill Light" in PhotoShop.
 
As for the beer...come on, everyone knows it's genetically impossible for Americans to drink good beer. It's not his fault! ;)

Corona is a girl's beer.
You use the lemon to make it even girlier.

Brad is British, he doesn't know about beer.  Anyone can follow the crowd in California and go for the safe choice, which is always a Corona.

@clubsandwich:  Dude Corona and most lager is pretty shitty, Hob Goblin is a real man's beer =)

This photo used to be on the Giant Bomb store, I think. Pretty positive it's real.

Seems you like the heavy beers. No disrespect, but your preferences are just that, your preferences. I'm so sick of people who act like they're THE beer expert because they drink something that isn't popular. That contrary attitude only comes across as elitist and douchy. Live and let live I say. So what, they like beer you don't approve of. No need to jump up on your high horse and act like they don't have taste cause you don't like lighter beers.
