Why Get Drunk?

[Ginn & Juice]

Oh yeah!!! I forgot about the 3:00am trips to Taco Bell as well.

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

No. Any beer that has a descriptive modifier like "light" is not 'real beer' unless it costs less than $10 a case.

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

If it warms too quick, it wasn't cold enough to begin with. Beer temp should be about 33 degrees out of the fridge. Since most people don't like their fridge temp this low, unless you like icebergs in your milk cartons, you would be better served by keeping some beer mugs in the freezer, so that they're nice and cold, completely frosted over when it's time to enjoy a beer.

Drinking faster wouldn't hurt either.

Whoo, Natty Ice is very rough stuff man. But it can get you really fucked up.

It's like liquid panty remover though.

 

[strohs]

America's oldest brewery...and my favorite beer...

Americas Oldest Brewery?
Strohs is/was 1775.
But I do believe they closed that brewery down, so I guess they can now claim that title
Either way, Yuengling is a very good beer.
I just dont see why they dont bring it to Ohio.

 

[wadc45]

or so they claim...you are right I think. They are the oldest "active" brewery...the Julio Franco of breweries, if you will.

It's like liquid panty remover though.

more like liquid cool remover...that stuff has turned me into an absolute goof on more than one occasion.

[font=&quot]I drank a Yuengling once, but it gave me a killer headache. I think it’s the formaldehyde they use as a preservative.[/font]

Well-- If that's the problem, then Chief is going to have some problems with the Marachino Cherries they put in his drink--

Stroh's didn't begin production until the 1850's I think... regardless... I don't think old Bernard Stroh was born in 1776... plus... what sort of Market would there have been in Detroit in 1776?

If for whatever reason Yeungling isn't the oldest Brewery in America... their Pottstown Facility is impressive enough to make you believe it... and much like Julio Franco had to go to the Mexican League for a while, everyone shut down during Prohibition.

Anyway... wadc, Is Yuengling really your favorite Beer? Wow... I REALLY like the stuff... But I really Like a lot of beers... Yeungling is a bit more 'special' in Ohio because you can't get it all the time... but I don't think its my favorite.... (I learned the difference between "favorite" and extra Special Treat when I could get Stella Artois any time I wanted.)

Anyway.. Yuengling is great, and I have a supply stream. (They actually don't sell it in Ohio pretty much only because of capacity... there were some rumblings a few years ago about them having the old Schoenling Brewery make some under license for the Midwest market, but that didn't work out because of some issues wiht Sam Adams trying to do the same thing... anyway... all the Cinci Beer brands are brewed in Pittsburgh now, I think... its a big old mess down there)

But no matter... Yuengling ain't fire brewed for smoother taste.

Hmm, well, It does say on the can, Since 1775.

Hey Chief, just try not to do like this guy...
Flaming Shots anyone?

I think that is used in pretty much all American beers, at least I thought.
Maybe it was just coincidence?

ON Yeungling and bits on Stoh's and the Boston Brewing Comapany... Neat article from Inc.

http://www.inc.com/magazine/20040701/yuengling.html

Here's the 1775 reference-- Brewing since 1775-- In Germany. (Man, I went to that Brewery before it closed... so I was confused a bit)

When Bernhard Stroh founded the Lion Brewery in Detroit in 1850, his family had been brewing beer for generations: Berhard's grandfather Johann Peter was brewing in Kirn in the Rhineland-Palatinate as early as 1775. Twenty-six-year-old Bernhard left home in 1848 for a German settlement in Brazil, yet by the summer of 1849 he was in the United States on his way to Chicago. When the steamer stopped in Detroit, Bernhard liked what he saw there and decided to stay.

Here's the 1775 reference-- Brewing since 1775-- In Germany.

There are breweries in Germany way older than that. From a trip there a while back, I know that Lowenbrau was started in 1383 and that Augustiner started in 1318.

A few years ago I was in a medieval town called Rothenburg-ob-der-Tauber. It's surrounded by a wall, and they don't let any cars come into town after something like 7 p.m. The tavern/hotel I stayed in had a beer that was brewed there since the 1100's.

Well I figure since the Reinheitsgebot has been around since 1516 (or whatever) they probably didn't just magically decide in Bavaria what should be in Beer before there was an industry... Anywya, I think that Belgian Lambic Styles are the oldest "Beers" but I have no idea if there are any breweries /Monasteries that claim to have been in operation any longer than 1100.

 

[exhawg]

I think I drank a lot of Lowenbrau in Europe, but I can't remember. Maybe I drank too much.

 

[MistriBuck]

i can't believe i'm the only twisted fuck that thought my "popsicle" reference (referring to his fruity drink choices, stating "not that there is anything wrong with that") followed by him saying "hell yeah i know about popsicles i have 3 little boys" was funny as hell

Here's a German beer from 1040, and it may be much older than that:

Weihenstephan. The beer producer with the longest tradition and the oldest brewery in the world.
The Bayerische Staatsbrauerei (Bavarian State Brewery) Weihenstephan is indeed the oldest place in the world where beer is still being brewed. A document proves that in the year 1040 the Benedictine monastery of Weihenstephan under Abbot Arnold was granted the right to brew and draw beer in the town of Freising. As a matter of fact, the brewing site is substantially older than the deed itself indicates. It has been proved that a hop garden already existed near the monastery Weihenstephan in the year 768 and its owner had to pay tithes to the monastery including hops. The Weihenstephan brewers are therefore quite certain "that these hops were brewed in the monastery founded by Saint Korbinian in the year 725 and that our present day hopped beer saw its historical birth in this monastery."
