BEER

[AJeepZJ]

Sal has been to my place once - It was one of the slowest days at my apartment. But if he had been here this week, it would be a different story. It didn't occur to me that this week is one of the most congested weeks of the year here because it's two weeks before classes start - so parents usually like to get there kids shipped out and settled in before classes. Anyway - I've been settled for a while now, and I'm ready to celebrate.

As a token to my comfort zone finally being reached, I have decided to host my usual summer pool and grill party - I didn't think it would happen this summer, but stuff changed and it's happening. And yes, North Carolinian's LOVE to grill. Anyway, my building is a large square adjacent to the Tar River with a hollowed out middle for a generous sized pool and courtyard. (It's very nice). My window over looks it. Anyway the problem is that parking is awful sucks - Have to walk up and down a pretty ballsy hill. And all the doors except for the front require a magnetic key, which is not convenient for me to use with a crap of stuff in my hand. To avoid this I decided to park in front at the reception and haul my groceries in... (where all the parents are). Can you IMAGINE the look we got as my buddies and I hauled 3 24 packs of Icehouse passed parents with there 18 y/o freshmen daughters and sons, lol - It was pretty funny to me. I'm sure they are going to bless their children before they leave today. I also hauled up an a$$ ton of steak, beef, dogs, Bacon and eggs.. No veggies this weekend ladies.

Anyway - Lets have a beer discussion.

[cico7]

i'm in for a good brew ha ha....

[pjmjr508]

ice cold one & a med rare ribeye will work for me lol

[CmmdrDan]

You know Mia did say something about going to NC this weekend..Hmm...If only I had a paid vacation

[Sal-XK]

Ice house stinks sorry bro I'm a beer snob. Yuenglings is very good beer ironically so is Carona with out the lime ofcourse I'm a man keep the fruit out of my beer. Also the colder the beer the less flavor you can taste which makes me laugh on commercials with all the cold labels in there beer. Beer pulled out of the fridge should sit a few minuets opened. About five minuets after that it hits a good temp for drinking. The Scottish have it right they don't drink there beer cold either. When it warms up a little you get the full flavor exploding as intended by the brew master. But don't let a bad beer like coors or ice house warm up I don't think you want to really taste all those beers have to offer. LOL

Icehouse is something I tried for the first time, and I ended up really liking it. It goes well with cheap pizza, lol. Otherwise, yeah. I'm also a beer snob. I prefer Sam Adam, Yuenglings, Heineken, and Fosters. And who can forget Duck Rabbit (for local Carolinian's, lol)

Corona is GARBAGE

[cico7]

My favorite beer is, Free.

Sam Adam's is real good beer I agree you know I keep for getting to try Duck Rabbit I buy my beer on post cheaper no taxes I don't think I've seen it in there. Carona isn't crap it has a full flavor to it but it is different, I like to drink it to break things up. Let it warm up and don't put lime in it and it's not bad.

[NeilSmith]

Yuengling is good but I prefer Landshark.

Sam Adam's ain't cheap - thats probably why, lol. I had a few of my friends try to indoctrinate me with how superior Corona was, and I just can't stand it. If I want a beer that will kill my appetite for a 2nd, I'll drink a Corona.


Yuengling is good but I prefer Landshark.

I've heard GOOD things about Landshark - And it's funny you mention that.. I'm actually wearing a 'Landshark' shirt right now. For your enjoyment.

Thats crazy ! LOL !

I'm laying claim as the only real beer snob in this discussion. As a homebrewer I think I'm entitled. That is all, carry on talking about your crappy beer :p

Brewing your own is one thing having it taste good is another :p send me some I'll tell you if its any good:D

[hoaxci5]

That would be like sending Filet Mignon to be critiqued by a McDonalds lover.

Thats not a far trip from Orange County. My old man fly's out there every week.

[hoaxci5]

Come on out, see some real wheeling and some real beer (I'm cocky today, not sure why.. sorry)

[AJeepZJ]

LMAO!! I'm not even going to touch that one. I can see you have already had a jump start on your homebrew... Sooooooo I'm going to let you have ur moment, lmao.

[Sal-XK]

Ya I think he's taste testing a little to much today.:D

[hoaxci5]

Unfortunately stone sober. I'm on a fat kid diet, trying to drop my gained weight while my wife was deployed.. only 7 more lbs to go..

[Holaday07 4.7]

Gulden Draak if I am feeling rich is my favorite beer of all time. If not I drink Busch Light (Sals Favorite). I didnt read the thread so sorry if I repeated anything.

[cico7]

PBR me ASAP....

[Sal-XK]

PBR me ASAP....

Oh my bro noooooooOOOOOOO

[NeilSmith]

I still say Landshark. I'm on my third one and I have Fridays off so ........

[Matt]

There's nothing like a good ol Fosters 25oz oil can after doing some yard work!

My "beers i like" list is very long. I've drank so much Yuengling in my day that it no longer appeals to me (but its still a great beer, so if its there it'll get slammed back).

Dos Equis Amber is probably one of my favorite beers. I just love the flavor.

And if I'm grilling a good steak, I have to pick up some Boddingtons Pub Ale pints!!

Also love some Guiness/Bass black&tans (oh man, they just go down too smooth.... i get in trouble when i drink those!)

.... im getting thirsty...

[hoaxci5]

Landshark is just American Corona.. meh, it's fine, but I wouldn't get excited.

[NeilSmith]

Landshark is just American Corona.. meh, it's fine, but I wouldn't get excited.
Corona is piss beer, thats why people put lime in it. I used to drank Guiness but it tends to f*@k me up, I dont do that anymore. :)

[Matt]

I like Corona... I actually like it better than landshark (which is also piss colored 825

[NeilSmith]

Its funny , I do not drink and drive, at all , ever. We were at Uwaharrie and had done some nice trails that day. So we're just chillin at camp that night, having a few beers. Im a little guy and it only takes a few to get buzzed. So I had about four I guess, winding down for the night. Sal pipes up, " you guys wanna do a night run ? " LOL !! We did. LOL !!

[hoaxci5]

Landshark is brewed by Anheuser Busch all they know how to make is piss beer..

For the sake of discussion, how about some Redhook ESB, Sierra Navada Pale Ale, or Dogfish Head Burton Baton. The Burton Baton might in the running for my all-time favorite beer, but I've only had it once, so I feel the need to find it again and verify.

[NeilSmith]

Landshark is supposedly still brewed in Jacksonville, from what I saw Jimmy Buffet say the other day, just using AB as a marketer / distributor / business partner thing. Eventually, Im sure AB will take over and it will be either dissolved completely or will become just another Budweiser.

[Sal-XK]

Didn't AB buy out dogfish as well? Have you guys watched the documentary Beer Wars, I know I mentioned it in another beer thread its available on net flex for streaming.

[hoaxci5]

No and I think Sam would be the last person to ever sell out to a large beer manufacturer. Not that I know him, but I did read his book Brewing up a Business, and watched Beer Wars. He pretty much HATES everything big beer does..

[AJeepZJ]

Corona is piss beer, thats why people put lime in it. I used to drank Guiness but it tends to f*@k me up, I dont do that anymore. :)

Guiness and Coronoa are just awful... Guiness is the Irish version of the American Budweiser. Just... just awful beer. Now... The Irish do make some tasty beers. I would like to start with Smithwicks - It's just really hearty beer you can TASTE. If we removed the Locals, and considered only large distributers Smithwicks makes it in my top 10 easily.

[Matt]

Smithwicks is very tasty. I'd also put Killians Irish Red up there with it in the "enjoyment of taste" spectrum.

Guiness isn't for everyone... but its not even close to the crap that Budweiser is. That's like saying "scotch is crap" because you don't like the taste... it just means you're not a scotch drinker.

[hoaxci5]

Guinness is actually pretty low in alcohol content too, it's only in the 4.~ish range.. it does go down pretty easy though.

As far as Guinness to Budweiser comparison, from a showing of beer quality for said country I agree, but Guinness is leaps and bounds better than Budweiser.

[Matt]

Ah... maybe i missed the analogy there...

[cico7]

i had a PBR once, it was nasty. I like coors light pretty well but my favorites include Heiny ken,
dos equis, Sam adams, warsteiner. not a fan of michy beers or buddy beer.

[CmmdrDan]

Im gonna have to change my Username to that. It includes my last name. And has War in it. Sounds badass.

I like Miller light cause it is cheap and has a bit of taste to it. But if I am out and feeling like something else I'll get a Smidicks (smithwicks) I do like Killians. Havent had it in a while. I will try anything but it doesnt mean Ill like it. Duck Rabbit is gross.

[Matt]

MGD is also my go to "working in garage" beer.

[AJeepZJ]

There is an Indian beer, (East India) That was actually really amazing, I mean just awesome. I can't remember the name, but it is distributed here in the US (I believe, lol. Anyone know the one i'm talking about. Comes in a white can with red lettering.

[Sal-XK]

MGD is also my go to "working in garage" beer.

Always have some MGD sitting around that's usually what I take fishing with me as well.

[Matt]

Yes! Definitely a great fishing beer. Lol we took a charter boat out last month for some deep sea fishing and my buddy & I polished off a case!

[IamJEEP]

What do you guys think of Blue Moon? I like it, but I'm not a big beer drinker. In fact the only ones that I have liked so far are .......Sam Adams, Blue Moon, Doghead, and a Russian beer that I can't remember the name. There is a few more but it's not coming to me right now.

[Matt]

I like blue moon.... but ill only drink 2-3 of them. They're a bit too sweet/heavy. But definitely a tasty beer that ill drink.

[CmmdrDan]

My girlfriend just started drinking Shocktop. Almost the same as bluemoon

[ScorpionCrawler]

Red Stripe for my everyday summer beer. Many special ocassion beers.

[pjmjr508]

Mine are;
Alaskan Amber (Summer & Winter)
Redhook (They are here & the $1 tour is great)
Fat Tire
Carona (Yes I know what you guys are going to say)

[Matt]

On my way home from work today I swung in the store and picked up some Killians... its been too long.

[AJeepZJ]

I also like blue moon - Blue Moon is pretty awesome, and I love there seasonal flavors - especially the winter one.

[Sal-XK]

I haven't heard anyone mention or discuss having beer serves on tap vs bottle or can. I listed them in my preferred way of having beer.

[Holaday07 4.7]

Can, don't know why jus tlike it better then bottle then draft

[cico7]

depends on where i am drinking.
At home, in a bottle
At work, my coffe cup.
At the bar, cans
At a restaurant, tap in a glass
At the wheel, in the back seat in a cooler waiting for me to get where I am going.
But not ice cold,

[hoaxci5]

I generally do draft or bottle. Cans are only if it's free :) I don't complain when someone hands me a beer doesn't matter what it is.. I'm not an unappreciative beer yuppy.


edit: There are a select few microbrews that have been doing cans, but when I think of cans it's generally the american sake piss beer..

[AJeepZJ]

Tap is pretty awesome.

[Sal-XK]

I only do the cans for convience like camping, fishing, hiking and stuff like that :)

[Matt]

I'm not very picky...

if im in a bar i'll get draft, if they dont have what i want on tap ill get a bottle.
if im home, bottle or can works. I usually get my yard work / garage work drinks in cans (MGD, etc) because its easier to have more of them "in stock" without taking too much room in the fridge. And I get bottles for the higher end stuff (most of which doesn't come in cans anyway...)

[Sal-XK]

(most of which doesn't come in cans anyway...)

I only have one spot by me that sells yuenglings in a can. Only have one spot to purchase MGD too unless I want to get a 40oz LOL

[AJeepZJ]

MMMmmmmmmm.... I wish they made koozie's big enough for them though :(

[cico7]

get a mini keg....

[Matt]

Applicable to the topic at hand....

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/08/20110814094535-1.jpg

[pjmjr508]

Nice

[AJeepZJ]

I tried a Stella Artois for the first time ever. The beer is a thing of beauty. It's crisp, not too bold, not too light, and very refreshing - it's really nice.

[hoaxci5]

I'll be at this (http://www.tasteofbrews.com/) tomorrow, wife is DD'ing :) ahh all kinds of beer. Oh yea with VIP tickets too :p

[AJeepZJ]

Thats actually pretty cool..

[CmmdrDan]

Someone bring me a beer!

[Matt]

Another good beer.... UFO

[hoaxci5]

Thats actually pretty cool..

They have these kinds of things all over the country, it's just not advertised real well.. I know when I lived in Norfolk, VA I went to one also.. fun times, and lots of different beers to try.

[Matt]

Kicking back one of these bad boys... i love this stuff! (Note, NOT my picture... googled it)

https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png

[AJeepZJ]

Should I see a professional if my mouth watered as soon as I saw that pic?

[Matt]

As far as im concerned, you only need to see a professional if you beat up a hooker to steal her money so you can buy a Boddingtons. At that point... yea, make the call!

[cico7]

That looks tasy to me.....

[Matt]

Found another winner!!

You're not going to throw these back on a hot day... at 10.3% and VERY tasty, they make for a great "night cap" or even a good dinner beer (could actually go for a juicy prime rib....mmmmmmm)

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/09/IS_ImperialWhite_Front1-1.png

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/09/imperialwhite150-1.jpg

[Sal-XK]

Thanks man now I'm hungry and thirsty awesome :p

[Matt]

Did i mention there's a mom&pop restaurant out in the middle of nowhere that serves the BEST prime rib on the planet, and they have a 40oz cut, about 15 minutes from where i live? lol im tempted to upload the pic of the 30oz cuts my wife and i ordered when i took her out for her birthday last April...

[CmmdrDan]

I wanna try boddingtons now. Looks tasty!

[AJeepZJ]

Where did you find those?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Matt]

Its really hard to find.... need to go to a store that has a really good selection. And its usually in the warm beer isle.

[Holaday07 4.7]

In St. Louis, Friar Tucks has it, I dont know if that is a chain or not though

[CmmdrDan]

Might get some boddingtons right now..

[Matt]

might get some boddingtons right now..

do it!!!

[CmmdrDan]

I didnt see it. So I got miller light and land shark.

[Matt]

Finished a 200+ page tech report today at work... decided to treat myself on the way home 901

https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/09/20110909161332-1.jpg

[CmmdrDan]

That is a treat! Can I come over?

[Matt]

Yeah man!

lol i may have to load up a cooler with this stuff if we have an overnight RC meet :cool:

[CmmdrDan]

Sounds good! Only about an hour and a half away now! Be there soon...just kidding..but seriously...kidding..

Some hoppy goodness for tonight.

[Holaday07 4.7]

Ohh no, I am banned by the old lady from whiskey, lol. She says I get loud, I dissagree.

[AJeepZJ]

Yeah. I tend to turn up the volume too when I've had Whiskey in me. Mostly because I can hear everything within 2 miles, and I need to be able to talk and hear myself over all of it.

[Sal-XK]

No beer for me tonight :( I had to take some pain pills :) but they kinda have the same effect just no getting to enjoy the taste of a fine beer.

[brendon]

I'm surprised no one mentioned Schlitz. The beer that made Milwaukee famous... Tall Boys or bottles.

Otherwise I like Paulaner, Warsteiner, Blue Moon, Spaten, Hoegaarden, Franziskaner (I think I'm seeing a theme here), and for some reason Miller Lite to finish the night.

For the record Guiness sucks, but Guiness Extra Stout is not too shabby.

[Sal-XK]

Dude you said Schlitz LMAO did you type that with a serious face heheheheheh

[Matt]

I'll never turn away a Spaten!

.... im starting to realize that I enjoy a wide variety of beers....

[CmmdrDan]

[Matt]

oooh my... suddenly my miller lite doesnt taste so great...

[CmmdrDan]

Id trade ya. Doesnt have a bold taste. Its alright but I can live without the head of foam.

[Matt]

Really? Its smooth deliciousness to me :)

[CmmdrDan]

It is smooth. Its just that head. Packed full of flavor. I can throw back some Miller though.
My friend actually said that coors, bud, and Miller light all taste the same. No
Coors light-Tastes like an apple juice
Bud Light- has a good spice note but isn't full of flavor.
Miller Light- is a nice smooth finish and full of flavor.

[AJeepZJ]

oooh my... suddenly my miller lite doesnt taste so great...

Sir... Miller Lite has never tasted good.

[hoaxci5]

but but.. miller lite is full of flavor..

If this is a competition of Domestic Light beer. Natural Light and Yuengling Light owns all of those

[AJeepZJ]

but but.. miller lite is full of flavor..

I kid you not... Miller Lite is what I started drinking, when I was 15. Come'on guys... we are men. Drink like one!

[Matt]

I never said Miller lite was the best beer out there.... its what I had in the fridge stocked up from football (good beer in combination with hot wings and pizza and a lot of guests). I have nothing against Miller, I can toss them back.... but they just don't compare to a quality beer. Henceforth, the Miller I was drinking became a lot less appetizing when Dan posted the picture of boddingtons.... its kind of like eating a tasty sandwich and then someone shows you a picture of a delicious steak.... the sandwich, albeit tasty, just doesn't have the same draw.

[Matt]

I kid you not... Miller Lite is what I started drinking, when I was 15. Come'on guys... we are men. Drink like one!

I started drinking yuengling when I was 15.... I started drinking Miller in college lol

[AJeepZJ]

I started drinking yuengling when I was 15.... I started drinking Miller in college lol

You've got it all backwards! lol. I was looking more at large beer chains, There are a lot of Local and regional stuff that is good as well.

[Matt]

Oh I've got it spot on..

15 = drink what dad buys and keeps stock in fridge
College = drink what you can afford and doesn't taste like crap

[Holaday07 4.7]

Oh I've got it spot on..

15 = drink what dad buys and keeps stock in fridge
College = drink what you can afford and it does not matter if it tastes like crap

Fixed it for you, I think you got it mixed up somehow, lol

[Matt]

Hell no man.... I never drank crap beer like natty. If the beer was crap I'd find another party!

[Holaday07 4.7]

Ohhh, well then nevermind. I drank a ton of crap beer, and still do. Natty, Busch Light, The Beast Ice, Natty Ice, Steel Reserve. **** I was always broke durring school, bar tabs drained the bank, lol

[CmmdrDan]

I didn't start drinking until 2 months before I turned 21.
I was above the influence. Plus it is fun to watch stupid drunk friends when your sober.

[AJeepZJ]

Kinda more fun to be the stupid drunk friend, lol. Which I'm glad I have now got most of that out of my system.

Matt, lol - You would have loved my party's. As you know.. success of a party is largely effected by the people. But of course, you must also know the people are largely effected by the beer. Consequently, the beer must NOT be anything less than exceptional.

The last party I ever held I was a graduating senior. I wanted it done right. I spent 350 dollars in beer, liquor, tequila, and whiskey.

[hoaxci5]

Man I drank lots of Natty Ice in college, it was the cheapest beer when judging by alcohol content :)

[Holaday07 4.7]

Man I drank lots of Natty Ice in college, it was the cheapest beer when judging by alcohol content :)

Same here! And parties were just as good IMHO without nice beer. Who knows though, it seemed all the girls drank Natty, Jungle juice, or Popov poured into Goose bottles (they never could tell the difference) so we were rock stars on a budget. Gotta admit, those were some fun times

[Matt]

blah... i just couldn't stand the taste of natty, beast, etc. When i drink beer its not for the sole purpose of getting plastered... i like to get a little buzz & chill out with my friends, play some drinking games/etc.

I found that the parties with the cheapest beer were usually the parties where everyone got plastered and were either passed out or throwing up all over the place by midnight. Whereas the parties with slightly "better" taste in beer would go aaaallllll night. You'd have the few bad apples getting sick and passing out, but for the most part everyone was buzzed to slightly drunk and would have a great time.

With all that said.... ive been drinking too much beer this summer and not exercising as much as im used to (barely riding my bike once a week).... soooo, i've turned to my #1 favorite non-beer drink :)

Hey Matt!

Im going!

[Matt]

Damn man... if it was a bit closer to White Marsh i'd be setting us up for a weekend trip!

[Holaday07 4.7]

I have Pirate Fest this weekend, there are soooo many good beers there. I will snap some pics of the bars they set up too

[NeilSmith]

Pirate Fest
Why are there pirates in Missouri ? :)

[sean112280]

Man I drank lots of Natty Ice in college, it was the cheapest beer when judging by alcohol content :)


I used to drink that all the time as well!!!!!!!!

[Holaday07 4.7]

Why are there pirates in Missouri ? :)

Because we are land locked, have terrible weather, and there really is not much to do here. Drinking at a pirate bar gets us out of our trailers and off our sweet astroturf, lol. The old lady likes this stuff, and I like beer, so it is a good family activity

[hoaxci5]

I've typically got Bud Light in the fridge. But, on occasion I'll buy Sam Adam's Boston Lager or Octoberfest. Another favorite is Chimay, and I find I like Chimay more as it warms up and it goes down pretty smooth for being 9% alcohol.

We talked the Grandparents into taking the kid both nights this weekend, it was very nice. The bar rotates kegs, and once one is empty, they wont have it available for months. Kind of a cool system, and really gets me to branch out from my AB norm

Sucked down a few Yuengling's watching the game today :)

Since the Jeep broke down today and I didn't get to play, I decided to drink some beer and brew some also.. making up a batch of "Winter Wonder Warmer"

[Matt]

^^^ Oh man... that Mississippi Mud is dangerous!!!! My buddy and i kicked those back, then used the container to make our guiness/bass black&tans.

[hoaxci5]

I had never seen it before, so between the name and bottle I had to pick it up :)

[Matt]

lmao that's EXACTLY why we got it!!

FYI, makes an awesome penny jar :)

[AJeepZJ]

WOW! Nice post, haha.

[CmmdrDan]

Im in need of a good beer. All I have is old. Dont wanna drink it. And according to A.j. I am not a beer snob, like him..

[Holaday07 4.7]

lol - You know I get each of these posts in an e-mail. And I miss nothing, lol. You know... Desiring only the best has it's downs ya know. For example..You sometimes wish you had the same excitement for cheap beer that you now have in excellent beer. You wish you could sometimes feel buzzed off a couple 5% beers. You've become so accustomed to great taste that you wish you could find the same satisfaction in anything. 'Good' parties become harder to find with elevated taste. You are so turned off by dull beer that you'd settle for water, milk, a fuzzy naval... really anything.

Having a desire for great taste does have it's downside... see!!! You have LESS options. But someone has to do it. Someone has to take one for the team.

I'm up in San Francisco for the weekend and came across this little gem.. It's like the Holy Grail of homebrewers and I finally found some..

Life is too short for cheap beer. Sam Adams and Yeungling is as cheap as I'll go. :cool:

[Holaday07 4.7]

I killed a 12 pack working on my rock sliders tonight. I feel that cheap beer is really the only way to go. Nothing like a couple buddies and a 30 rack of Busch Light. I love a good Belgan, but when it comes down to it, I wouldnt trade my crap beer for anything

I like this guy - who recruited him????

[sean112280]

I agree as well ^

[Matt]

I had a good mix for our bonfire last night... Yeungling Black & Tans, Killians Red and Molson XXX. It was a good night :)

I was disappointed in the Eagles losing to those Bears. I just genuinely don't like them, because of your love for them, lol.

Ya well the eagles are one of the most over rated teams and there true colors are showing kinda like the lions when they have to play real teams they get slammed.:p

Life and a Can of Beer



A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.


He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends, your favorite passions--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car.

The sand is everything else--the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house, and fix the disposal.

"Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented.

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers."

[cico7]

Beer.....ahhhhh

Thems be fightin' words Sal!! (even though we played like crap)

I have a 4 of Dogfish Head's Punkin Ale sitting in my fridge. I actually started brewing my own a couple years ago. I seem to make it faster than I can drink it. If I ever make it to a trail ride with you guys I'll have to bring some out so you guys can help me kill it.

[Holaday07 4.7]

^^^ I think I would have the exact opposite problem!

[Sal-XK]

I'll have to bring some out so you guys can help me kill it.

I like killing things I mean drinking beer!

Thought I'd try a new beer with dinner tonight - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.


https://theultimatejeep.com/notfound.png Little hoppier than I was expecting for a "Pale" Ale, so I'm glad I waited for dinner (I like a Pale Ale at lunch when I can get away with it! ;)) with this one.

The Carolina game was going QUITE well... until I started watching (they fumbled inside the Tech 5 - and that's probably all she wrote for my 'Heels tonite :mad:). At least my wife is a good cook!
