99 bottles of beer? As for the second half of your comment- good observation. In response to Easy-E who said:

Alcohol poisoning? Not for nuttin', but going to a German bar and drinking Budweiser or Miller Light?

Family Guy is the shizzle... In response to trueblue11 who said:

right on chacha, AB products(American Budweiser,bud lite, michelob), SABmiller products and coors all SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! these companies would rather spend their money on ADVERTISING, trying to convince the 20 and 30 something crowd to drink shitty tasting beer(and think it's cool), than brew a better product. The golden beacon that surrounded Helmers as a classic, unique Hoboken German bar/resturant has been tarnished by carrying the AB/miller/coors line next to Belgian and German world-renowned beers. Helmers NEVER used to carry that crap. They got their foot in the door on Hoboken St. Patty's day and the rest is history. It's sad. what's next, Rolex putting out a line of "Family Guy "watches.

I love Helmers. The food is great. The beers are great. The staff is nice. The crowd is laid back. I don’t drink bud,coors and miller lite etc.at all. If I did. I definately wouldn’t in a German place. This town is filled with people that do drink those beers. I see nothing wrong with Helmers offering those selections. They are trying to improve their profits. A special such as this. In this economy helps everyone. The Weinstephan Hefe-Weiss is great.

it’s an age thing…most 20-somethings want cheap b/c they just want to get drunk. as one begins to mature around 30 and drink for the taste and maybe a nice buzz (not wasted), one begins to care about the quality of what one is tasting, and, obviously, american beers like those mentioned are not quality. only good american mass-marketed beer is, of course, sam adams.

Helmers is great – the beer is good and the food is good. I agree that it is not the type of place to get buds but a 2$ beer on Washington all day long is difficult to come by.

never been here, but agree with the why drink bud and m-lite…if you don’t mind a short light rail ride to JC try the Zeppelin Bar (Jersey Ave stop)…outdoor German-type beer garden…large selection of beer and assorted sausages, brats, etc….plus they don’t seem to be a place that after 10pm starts blarring the bass and becomes a guido hangout (but have only been one – could be wrong)
