Now that I've established my beer bona fides, let me stick up for Coors. I actually like it much more than Bud, Bud Light, Miller, Miller Light, Heineiken or Amstel Light. I think I like it more than Sam Adams. I definitely like it more than Newcastle Brown Ale, which I find undrinkable. Coors Light is pretty blah, but Coors isn't half bad.

I don't think I have ever had a Coors (as opposed to Coors Light). Why would anyone ever drink that? I can't remember the last time I had any major brand (Bud, Miller, Mich, Coors) regular beer. Their light beers are consumed by me because they are light beers.

I am not a particular beer snob. Generally I'll drink pretty much anything that is not on the hated list in my prior post. Newcastle bottle is a different formula from the draft formula and is Not Good. I agree with Sebby that the draft version is a bit sweet, but that doesn't bother me. I can't drink more than 2 in a sitting before changing to something lighter, but those 2 are quite enjoyed.

The refrigerator at home is generally filled with light beers, for volume reasons, and Guinness for taste reasons. Though I think we have some Pacifico and Red Stripe in there as well right now.

I'm open for suggestions, but I think Sascha "Tart" is good before hand.

Yikes. I stay away from Rush, as does anyone who is under 40 and lives in the city. The latter actually applies to the band as well.

I had my first sip of Strohs at 2 on my dad's lap, right before he traded his HiFi for a case of Coors.

Stroh's was the preferred beer of keggers my senior year in high school. I don't know what that says about me or my high school, although I can assure you we were listening to the Hooters, Romeo Void, and the Grateful Dead more than Bruce.

This is unbelievably cute. Do you get a cart when you go to the liquor store? I do. All the guys there know me by name.

Do I get a cart? What do you think I am - an amateur?

Mmmm. Red Stripe. I'd forgotten I like that one. I may need to make a run to the liquor store. It's worth it just to hear the Brazenette announce "Mommy needs booze!" as we walk through the doors. It's gotten so the guys behind the counter answer her with "Hi Mommy!" I wave, shamefaced.

Fuck. I'm gobbling everything in my path because I fear this goddamned kid I'm having will impinge on "the lifestyle."

Luckily, fate gave me a new third cat. She's an adorable stray who sits in my dingy basement and hangs with me while I drink and watch late nite TV. I think some god brought her to us because I'm going to need a friend to look at me and sneer "Sebby, you really fucked yourself with this kid thing" and laugh while I'm downing beers and telling the brat to "shut the fuck up."

Jesus, its gone from sorority formals and coke binges to drinking alone with my cat in just a decade. Damnit. Pass me that pistol...

I second your thoughts on beer.

Cos D'Estournal for wine.

LaPhroig for scotch.

Chateau D'Yquem for dessert.

Ditto on misspellings.

Stoli

Makers

Smithwicks - Why did it take so long to get this to the States? It's universally liked by men and women. Anyway, I'm glad I can now have a pint almost anywhere.

Any german hefeweizen - great lunch beer.

Glad to hear it. From what I gather, some people think happy hour should last two hours at most and that a six pack will serve 2-3. HAH! 2-3 six packs serve one.

Pacifico is goood shit. Tasty. Of course, Guinness is great.

And bullshit. You're a huge beer snob. Read your last two posts.

Who drinks Michelob? Isn't that the beer for 50ish bowling alley swingers?

Flinty_McFlint · 11-30-2005, 03:02 PM

It has come to my attention, via process server, that I am mistaken. There is nothing to see here. Move along.

Judgment proofily yours,

Flinty

Pacifico is great, and it's the "people's beer". The Mexicans, Germans and Belgians brew some damn good beer.

Those are all excellent beers to enjoy while you wax your vagina.
