Have a Cold One

[Wyandot Jim]

"Sometimes, when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I did not drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, it is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true, than be selfish and worry about my liver.”

Babe Ruth

"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.”

Paul Horning

"24 hours in a day and 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not!”

H. L. Mencken

"When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven.”

George Bernard Shaw

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.”

Benjamin Franklin

"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, But the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.”

Dave Barry

“Beer: Helping ugly people have sex since 3000 B.C.”

W. C. Fields

“Remember ‘I’ before ‘E,’ except in Budweiser.”

Professor Irwin Corey

“To some it is a six-pack. To me, it is a Support Group. Salvation in a can.”

Leo Durocher

One night at Cheers, a TV Sitcom, Cliff Clavin said to his buddy, Norm Peterson: "Well, ya see, Normmy, it's like this ... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers!”

I'll drink to that, so let's have a beer

My avatar agrees!

Nowadays I drink "maybe" one case every two months and half of those wind up warm and discarded in the sink. Those workers would starve if it were for folks like me.

Anyway, when I was married I would dump the warm beer in the toilet and leave it there and let my ex think I peed and didn't flush!

 

[gunzo]

A bottle of Modelo Negra is close.

Cheers y'all.

 

[WendyZXZ]

No beer for myself, Wild Turkey 101 chilled hits the spot though!

I used to drink a lot of beer, but now I'm older and maybe drink a 12 pack every other week or so. But, I do have a drink or two of rum and diet sprite about every night.

 

[eveled]

I used to drink a 30 pack every couple days and none got warm and got poured out.

Then I realized I was wasting my gun money.

Haven’t had a drop in 20 years or so.

I try to keep the A&W workers employed! My favorite beer!

My Father drank enough beer & whiskey for a whole crowd of people!

After college, I gave up drinking to excess. I still enjoy a nice frosty lager but a few years ago I found that beer fills me up quickly and drinking two beers makes me uncomfortable. Another reason to hate getting older.

I prefer stouts over regular beer. Occasionally I'll have a really hoppy beer (IPA).
Standard beers like Budweiser, Miller, Coors, etc make me a bit nauseous.
My son bought me a four-pack of Philippine Red Horse in a can. It's ok if you're thirsty.
I usually order Guinness when I'm at a restaurant.

 

[txramfan]

Guinness is great, I also on occasion enjoy black n tans and half n halfs.

Shined Black is pretty good.

 

[Yaworski]

Give me a crisp clear Pilsner. I don't want a beer that I have to chew.

I'll drink to that, so let's have a beer

Our forum is better by far to have such a selfless, kind, salt of the earth member like you. We should all strive to equal your humantarian service to mankind. Its always best o beer kind. to others.

Yea I always thought that Guinness taste like crap because it was here in the US.
Well while I was in London I had a Guinness in a Pub that was built in the 1400. Guess what it still tastes like CRAP

Last summer I bought 3 12 packs of Warsteiner... and I usually drink only about 3 a week.... two months later I finished off the 2nd of the 3 12 packs.... I'm still trying to figure out what happened to that 3rd one. I think the aliens took it....
this is actually true... I have no idea what happened to that 12 pack....

 

[bergmen]

I typically have one of these a day. Only one though since it is 10% alcohol. Rich, refreshing, wonderful flavor with no bitterness.

 

[Watertender]

After my adventure in August I haven't had a drink. Coors Banquet or Straub's Lager are decent beer. I usually had 1 if I had any and a lot of times I would pour half of it down the drain. On rare occasions I might have 2 in a long afternoon.
Brewery workers could not depend on me for their full livelihood

Back in the 70s, I used to manage a liquor store in the San Diego area. Grolsch beer came in a green bottle with a white ceramic stopper. I thought it was just about the best beer I had tasted. I never really drink beer much until I was stationed in the Philippines and San Miguel was available to us about a quarter (1 peso) a bottle. I consumed more than my fair share during that early time of my life. Now I hardly drink beer at all, but when I do, I try to find Rolling Rock in the bottle.
Any lite beer to me taste like watered down piss.
And the standard beers, Budweiser, Miller, PBR, Coors aren’t much better.

This one has my interest, I will have to look for it.

"American beer is much like having sex in a canoe .... close to water."

For years Becks dark was my beer of choice then they got bought out by Budweiser and I think it just disappeared... I had to switch to Guinness then I discovered Warsteiner Dunkel.....

In fact I drank one of these at the end of this weekend's gathering while I smoked a cigar and listened to Contender and Cholo talking is some foreign language that had to do with some kind of Smith and Wesson revolver... it was in 'American' but I did not understand any of it. It had to do with something about a 56? and a 5 &1/2" barrel and such.....

I my youth, I discovered that a pack of salted peanuts poured into a bottle of root beer was a great golf course lunch.

Try that 101 with a little Maple syrup for a nice Old Fashioned. Bitters if you have them.

Well if you had to pay a quarter for a San Miguel you way overpaid for it. A nickel would be about right.
When I lived in Jakarta all they had was Anker Bir (yes that is the way they spelled it) and San Miguel both are crap, but you can get used to just about anything.

 

[steveodtw]

Also back in the 70's I stopped at a local tavern and had a Dortmunder Union draft. Best I ever tasted. never found it since, especially on tap.

 

[Achigan]

Stationed in Hawaii in the 70s Olympia was about all that was available. I think they leased Clydesdales from Busch for the main ingredient

 

[Randyzzz]

I used to love the really dark beers, if you call them that. Barleywine style. Now they taste like cough syrup. I still like most dark beers, especially Black Butte Porter on nitro. Hazy IPA’s are good- I just can’t stand the IPA’s that taste like the main ingredient is Pine-Sol. I love beers that have been aged in rum or whisky barrels.

My current selection is rather eclectic. The “Irish Death” is a delicious black ale.

I went to lunch with a friend at a local microbrewery. The brew master brought us a sample of his latest creation and asked our opinion.
I told him that his horse needs dialysis...
Not the answer he was looking for...

 

[protoolman]

Hey a good American cold filtered brew is still what some of us like! I hate IPA, it usually tastes like someone used fresh grass clippings in it. I've heard others describe it as "cloudy" or "dank". Yuck, not for me! A good Dos Equis dark maybe because some dark beers are smooth.

 

[ArizonaTea123]

This beer right here is outstanding, but unfortunately I can't get it where I live. It's an east coast brewery, and the oldest brewery in America.

 

[ex13F]

I paid the electric bill for several distilleries when young (especially when in Army) and always enjoyed drinking, often to excess. For some reason unknown to me about 3 years ago I lost interest. No thirst for it, no craving a beer or drink and when offered I abstain. Haven't figured it out yet, never intended to quit drinking and was never suggested by doctor. I just spend the money on guns and knives instead I guess?
