with his picture posted in the other forum there is no room.

I can merge them.. But this is such a better topic than the other

Beer is a staple of my diet. As such, I usually don't go for the fancy stuff, tho when I find it I buy up all of the Alaska Brewery IPA I can find.

More mundane choices are Killians Irish Red (off tap, not bottles, the bottled is much more bitter). And the daily after work 6'er is currently Miller Lite <dons flame proof suit>.

Back in the college days I used to aim for the best bang for the buck which @ 6.2% and cheap as hell, Natty Ice would fit the bill. I'm too old for that now, killing 12-18 Nattys was fine when all I had to worry about was mid-terms.

Miller Lite which is practically hops tea, gives the illusion of drinking beer without smelling like a cardboard box from the pub dumpster the next day.

Most of my freinds drink Bud Lite, but just a few of those bring on nasty headaches for me. I think its all the detergents they use.

So yeah, compared to you all, looks like I'm low-brow.

Read Stripe

Rolling Rock Pale Ale before Budweiser bought it and started using New Jersey tap water tainted with medical waste as opposed Mountain Spring water and stopped brewing in glass lined tanks

My first beer was Gennessee Cream Ale I loved it but have not seen it in awhile.

Hey, finally a thread I REALLY know something about!:laugho:
WOW Dave! You just brought back a ton of fun old memories with the Genny Cream Ale & Rolling Rock! Since we grew up in the same neck of the woods, makes sense we drank the same local stuff! I can't even recall what either tastes like now. Hey Dave remember I.C. Light???? (true piss water!)

I'm also into the Belgium/White/Wheat and almost ANY Hefeweizen....First choice is always Blue Moon! Thrilled to find more & more places have it on tap now! Yippee! Also like:
Sam Adams Summer Ale
Fosters
Pyramid Hef
Widmer Hef
Shiner Bock Hef (after all I did live in Texas for 12 yrs) Yeehaw!

Hey, think I'll make my way to the fridge right now! :_beer: Cheers! :dance:

So the owners sold the brand to Budweiser who moved it to a brewery they already owned that made their piss water at a price that would have been good for the whole deal, and the owners kept the building and shut everything down. Funny thing is this is a good brewery very recent, and the mayor and council wanted those taxes and jobs back. So they approached several brewers it even looked like Sam Adams was going to go there. However the Democrat mayor and council allowed the union reps to come to the meetings and they told the brewers they would have to hire all the exemployees back at their old wages and senioruty or they would not brew one damn bottle of beer.

Here is a test what do you think happened?

Just to update you on that situation: Iron city beer will soon be brewed in the old Rolling Rock brewery. Iron city just ceased production in Pittsburgh last month. Seems they ran up a $2 million tab with the water company that they neglected to pay. :rollo:

So the Iron City brand is moving out to Latrobe, PA to start over. Hopefully they can find the old Rolling Rock recipe and start making a quality product. Iron City was always ;puke2;

hahahahahahahaha:laughy::laughy::laughy:

I FORGOT CORONA!!!!!!!

how could i have done that, i love corona on a sunny day with a wedge of lime mmmmmmmmmm.

Stella Artois has to be the best beer in the world ( I have sunk a few from all over ) the Belgians are good at it.......well they have been brewing it since 1366.

Think I will open an ice cold one. CHEERS....

Jealous of this thread....

I am a migraine sufferer and found out the hard way, way too many times that I dont do well with Tyramine which is in beer, which triggers a migraine for me almsot everytime. But if the party is worth it or the beer game seems justifiable I will drink the beer and take one for the team.

As for me I have to stick to liquor - more $$$ in the long run:

Southern Comfort
Rums
American Honey

I need to but timid to try new beers from different styles of brewing and see if I can get away with drinking something better or more expensive will work. Becuase of this and my yearly consumption being so low it is hard to acquire a taste for beer since there is fear of sickness. I am going to try hoegarden as I have had this in my mind for about a week now.

The tab was for sewage not water. For those of you unfamiliar with Pa they are truely odd. Your sewer bill is figured out on the amount of water you use not the volume of product you remit. Since 98% of the water a brewery makes goes out in bottles and not form the drains the Sewage company was charging obscene amounts for sewage they never had to treat.

Other PA oddities

When buying beer if you want 1 or 2 six packs you buy at a bar. You cannot buy 3 six packs. But if you want a case you go to a distributor. You can not buy beer in a convenience store or grocery store

When buying alchohol you go to a state owned liquor store and get waited on by snotty over paid union employees who are state employees and cany get fired. They used to all be closed on Sunday until the state realized that they were losing money because people that lived closed to another state would go across state lines and buy there. So they decided that the stores within 10 miles of another state would open on Sunday the rest are still closed.

Whe moving to PA. You go to one place for your license another for road test and a 3rd for vehicle inspections, They do not take cash and do not mention it when you call about coming for a license. They also cannot tell you the cost over the phone so you must make 2 trips. To top it off you have 1 month to get all this done.

Sounds like a good place to be from,...:smilewink

Oh yeah, so as not to thread jack...BEER

[Alan ponders whether to go fetch another bottle of Peroni from the fridge...]

I like a lot of the Asian beers like Singha and Xing Tao as they're less fizzy that Euro veers or - god help us - US beers.

Anyhow, I can't have a serious converstation about beer with people from the nation that brought us Bud Light! :P

[Despite a 6am start, Alan goes to fridge and...]
