Why Get Drunk?

i made a sweet ass russian imperial stout once. the thing just wouldn't stop fermenting, i actually had to stay up most of the night and babysit my carboy most of the night. i drank the hell out of it and sadly saved none.

if you are really going to try a beer, try one without rice (as in not bud, miller, busch, or any other mainstream american poor excuse for beer). rice doesn't belong in beer period.

after years of research, i highly recommend bass ale. great ice cold and even better as it starts to warm up. when the bottle is starting to sweat, it is in the sweet spot and tasty as anything in the world.

another favorite beer of mine is molson xxx. it is in a brown bottle which is good (green bottle beers allow UV light to spoil the beer and give it that crap ass heineken taste). molson xxx is about 7.3% alcohol and it will fuck you up without making you have to piss much.

Great points, I am also a huge fan of the New Castle Brown. Taking VG's advice I would never recommend drinking NewCastle out of a 6 pack unless you are buying it from a place where it is kept cold and out of the light, and it does not sit around for long. New Castle uses a clear bottle, and it can be degraded by outside light quite easily. Places like Meijer, or other Grocery stores where it just sits out on the shelf, and you are taking a big chance on getting a spoiled one. I only buy it in 12 packs, because they keep the light out. Bass is also a great beer.

In the summer time I love a good hoppy brew like Sierra Nevada Pale ale, or Mojo, or a good wheat beer like Bells Oberon Ale. all killer brews that hit the spot on a hot summer day.

MMmmmmmmmmhhhhhh Beeeeer!!!

congrats ND, now tomorrow drink a real beer. :wink2:

Keep some Bud light in the fridge (for my buddy) does that count as a real beer?

BTW - IMO Beer warms to quickly and cold beer is ok but warm beer just sucks.

You might want to try those little 7oz beers. They go down faster so they stay cold the whole time. One of the bars on Buckeye Lake serves buckets of 6 of those beers. When we get done with a night of drinking the table looks like a forest of tiny beer bottles.

My personal favorite:

... but I do love the beer too. I think beer is like anything else you eat or drink, variety is good (except in the same night -- that'll get you sick) and some people simply enjoy the flavors. If I'm stuck in a dive and have my choice between the usual domestics, I'll drink either Budweiser or Stroh's. If I'm in the mood though, I'll drink just about anything, with preferences for Killians Red, Fosters, Guiness, Bass (or the Black & Tan: Guiness+Bass), and occassionally in the summer when the temp hits 90 I'll drink a Smirnoff Ice, Skyy Blue, or Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Mike's Hard Lemonade is great over a tall glass of ice NDC ... and a little less, uh ... effeminate than wine coolers. :wink2:

Anything with Kahlua or Bailey's is a winner too. Try a white russian or four.

To the original point of the thread though, beer is good. Beer makes you a better pool player, dart thrower, bowler, golfer, horseshoe-pitcher, lover ... the list goes on. Dart throwing and bowling skills increase preportionally to the number of empty mugs and bottles on the table, and everyone loosens their tounges when they're drunk. If you ever want to find out how your friends really feel about you, get drunk. My observation is that people always tell the truth when they're drunk, for better or worse, and if they do lie they do it very poorly.

For some, like myself, a little alcohol 'takes the edge off'. I'm a bit high-strung as it is -- so two beers during dinner after work keeps me tolerable to the mrs and rugrats. This week it's Blue Moon Belgian White, one of my favorite beers when I'm enjoying the flavor of a good beer without the intent of getting drunk.
