Beer.

Anybody from NIU ever buy the case of Rhinelander bottles for $3.99?

It was a ripoff.

The bottles were always dusty, because you had to bring them back to get your deposit back.  I think I just got a hangover just thinking about it.

Speaking of NIU, who ever it was who bad mouthed Keystone, I'd like to have a word outside with you.  That stuff got me through freshman year of college.  Of course I didn't know any better.

Oh, and on the topic of Asian beers, Sapporo is perty good...cool can too.

Try the Singha.  It's southeast Asia's answer to Ballantine Ale.

Singha is the bomb.

In case Margaret Meade came back from the dead and studied the culture that is Desipio, she'd easily be able to conclude that, when there's no baseball, we drink a lot and listen to music?  Do I have that right?

BTW Pancho made me feel as bad about my beer as you music snobs make me feel about my musical tastes.  For shame!!!

Your favorite.

In the States: St. Pauli Girl: Special Dark

Here in Germany: Lowenbrau: Triumphator (That's 7.8% alcohol, MADD)

Best beer to drink prior to fat chick lovin: Schlitz.

For my money, Rock, Loewenbraeu is only the third best brewery in Munich, behind Paulaner and (best of all) Augustiner.  Ayinger (from just outside Munich) is also excellent.  You ask any beer nut in Muenchen what they drink, though, and they'll all say Augustiner.  Their "Edelstoff" puts hair on your chest.

Dutch beer sucks, for the most part.  Belgian beer, though, which is universally available here, is excellent.  Leffe and Grimberger are my favourites.  Blond, Dubbel, Tripel - it's all great, it just depends how pished you want to get.

As great as Desipio is, it's a shame that people here know nothing about great beer. You sir, on the other hand, have made my day with your post. I am currently drinking a St. Bernardus 12, that's been aged 3 years. Earlier, I had a 2001 JW Lees Harvest, which held up well. There is so much great American craft beer, wonderful Belgian ales, and fine German and British (pass me a Fuller's vintage, or 1845 please) that it makes me sick that people drink Bud and Natty Ice. With all the amazing beer you can get in this country there is no excuse. If anybody on this board wants to try something new, I will be happy to give suggestions, shit, I will f@#$ing send you something, just let me know.

Send me something!

BTW Pancho made me feel as bad about my beer as you music snobs make me feel about my musical tastes.  For shame!!!

I'm the only one with any musical taste around here. Me and teh Slak. Don't feel bad.

I like Tequila.  It's kind of like beer.

As for music, it's an art.  And art is for the gheys.  Ergo, anybody who likes music is ghey.  So maybe Margaret Meade would conclude that Desipio is the internet's most interesting Turkish bathhouse.

If we drink a lot during the off-season, what does that tell us about our drinking habits watching the wretched bunch of losers we have come to so love in the summer?

Lots of swear words could be used here about the (domestic) beer industry.  I'll limit myself to:

You can taste the steel from the distillery in Budweiser.  If you're going to drink domestic, the least you could do for yourself is have a nice warm Natural Ice, or the finest domestic out there, Icehouse.

We should change the thread title to Bad. Beer.

But I'll steer us back, I love me some Newcastle. Yum.

Why, I just enjoyed a fine Newcastle a few nights back myself.  That is what beer is.

My own input into this thread?  The greatest beer known to myself -- Warsteiner premium dunkel.  Go to war with Warsteiner.  Get dunked by the dunkel.

You should just not talk about beer.

Ha!  Well, friend.  You can just step right up and kiss my wah-toosie!  You must have missed the countless times where I've hollered at folks here and many other places for even mentioning light beer.  You must have missed the countless times where I've mentioned that I haven't drank in years.  You must have missed the countless times, ah, the f uck with it, you must have missed a lot.

The day a beer elitist chirps to me, to me!, about the finer points of alcoholic intake, well, it sure as shit ain't going to be today.  Suck a Keystone, good sir.

If Margaret Meade came back, as long as she brought some mead, I'm not sure anyone would give a shit.

Sam Adams beer tastes like soap.  My mother used to make me wash my mouth with Lifeboy
