Pretty damn good, try it

[KG4CGC]

You know me, I don't FAJITA often, but took his word for it and it was pretty good.

OMG !! Things like that should be kept in the bedroom. Where is your decency sir? :rofl: :whistle: :whistle: :rofl:


Charles, I haven't done it before, but next time, you wanna try to Mojito? Just sayin, I'm willin to learn.

[KG4CGC]

I don't really drink these days.
I get an occasional hair for some alcohol.
The Kraken rum leaves one with much less side effects than Johnny Walker black label.
A good beer is getting harder to find without damn near going across 2 counties.

[NA4BH]

If you're into rum, try DON Q rum. Drink all night, no lingering after effects.

Try Don Q Passion Fruit Rum (fill glass to your required amount)

QS:

Orange juice
Passion fruit juice

A hit with the ladies................ TOO !!

Never been much of a drinker. A beer with dinner on the weekend, at most. A Mojito is a once in a blue moon kind of thing. Thing is, a liter is all they have at the local pub. Then again, I am in a campus town.

Truly, truly awful. I should have gotten another Duck-Rabbit or something...anything.

Kind of surprising, honestly, because it's well-reviewed on BA and I don't typically disagree with the consensus over there....but yech.

You guys should be drinking Pabst, Ballantine, Reingold, Miller, Piels, Schaeffer.

[NA4BH]

Pabst 16oz - $2.50 at a certain Hilton in North Carolina. It's nice to go retro every once in a while.

[KG4NEL]

Too many hipsters drinking PBR around here for me to ever try it.

[KG4CGC]

24oz at the Ingle's, $1.79 or on sale for $1.29. Regardless, I wouldn't drink it. Aside from being marketed as cool, they changed the recipe a few years ago.

You should try it. FAJITA

It will put you in a Schlitz frame of mind.

[KG4CGC]

Nothing personal but it's not the same PBR of days gone by.

[NA4BH]

You should let yourself go retro-testicular and start from the beginning. The journey is fun, next stop Schlitz Malt Liquor. (Funny story, but true) No bull

When I was a child living in East New York Brooklyn the big beer of that area was Piels. Why Piels ? Because Piels was brewed locally in those days. The brewery was right nearby with it';s huge neon sign depicting the 2 elves bowling. That section of Brooklyn was largely German and Italian and several of the early German immigrants that came to the area started brewing and selling beer locally. Piel;s is one that really took off big time. I read that it had to do with the water. There is something about the water (i./e. mineral content , hardness, softness) in the Long Island/Brooklyn area that beer-makers preferred and which led beer makers to settle in that area. Of course in those days Piels was independent and was a good beer. It turned to shit when Piels was bought out by a larger company and they shut down the East New York brewery and made it elsewhere. But in it's heyday it was a good beer.

There is currently a locally (Brooklyn) brewed ale called "Brooklyn Ale" which I love. One of the best micro brews I have ever tried. I don;t know how wide their distribution goes. I am not much of a beer / alcohol drinker these days but, I would go for a "Brooklyn Ale" anytime.

I've developed a taste for PBR as of late... I was sampling "Cheap Beers", and actually found myself quite fond of PBR.

They tried pushing that Hamm's on us down here in the mid 80s. Went over like a bricked turd. At least ONE out of every 6 cans was flat. Ballentine's was worse, 2 out 6 cans was flat.

Around here, someone revived Duquesne a few years back. I'm told by some of the OT's that the current incarnation isn't quite the same as the original, but it's close. (Of course, who really knows?)

[W3WN]

I've developed a taste for PBR as of late... I was sampling "Cheap Beers", and actually found myself quite fond of PBR.They tell me that now that Iron City & IC Light are brewed in Latrobe, in the old Rolling Rock Brewery, that they actually taste better. "Mountain spring" water instead of Allegheny River water may have something to do with it.

Of course, I also hear that RR has really gone down since the brand was sold & production moved to... Newark. Or wherever they're brewing it now, who knows?

[KG4CGC]

Are novelty beers to be allowed into the discussion? Billy Beer was just one of those joke beers like MASH beer. There are other joke beers that came out around the time MASH beer came out after the MASH beer people saw that people would put away a case in the closet hoping for an increase in value 20 years down the road. Well, 36 years later and a case of Billy Beer fetches $20 in the real world. No longer drinkable as if it ever was but that's a improvement over the case price of just under $8.

http://www.realbeer.com/edu/ask_realbeer/ask000140.php

I did see a 6 pack of MASH beer for sale on Amazon for $45. Not saying it will feltch that much but one day it may snag a buyer with a powerful yen for nostalgia.

They make a black chocolate stout that is noms.

I'm pretty sure that Rolling Rot is really Buttwiper... I've hauled it out of AB in Smell-A more than once...

[W3WN]

I'm pretty sure that Rolling Rot is really Buttwiper... I've hauled it out of AB in Smell-A more than once...I've heard that as well. (Sadly, I'm no longer permitted alcohol, so I'll never know for myself)

Before the change of ownership, RR always ran "classy" commercials. (For a beer? Yeah, I know). Commercials showing the "mountain springs" and the hops & barley growing, talking about how they brewed it, and all that other snooty horse manure.

After the ownership change... a change of image was called for. I recall one of the first commercials involved one yutz in a gorilla suit, jumping on a trampoline, with a busty long-legged long-haired blonde in a very skimpy bikini... both holding a bottle of beer. Outside of thinking that this new image was "tacky", I don't know what they were aiming for.

Pretty sure here as well. I've seen RR screaming down the bottling lines at the AB brewery here in Williamsburg.

Now you know why it all tastes like the same swill? The beer manifold, many taps, one pipe.

[KG4CGC]

Red Dog and Red Stripe were based on the original Budweiser recipe but more carefully brewed. Red Stripe has gone downhill since over 10 years ago but they could still bring back Red Dog as a craft brewed classic American lager.
By they I mean someone that is not INBEV! or me.

Is that first beer "DICK" beer?

Red Dick; and if you drink it, you'll end up with a terminal case of beer nuts.

Such a canned answer for something so sweet and salty, your shell was easy to crack.

[kb2vxa]

Beer nuts isn't terminal, it's the first sign of what IS terminal; cotton balls aka Milwaukee Disease. Pussy foot can come in handy, that is unless you have woodpecker... or worse yet, half mast.

I had no idea there were so many derivations, variations, and complications. I am wondering about half mast. I am assuming the other half is mizzen, eh?

Picked up a 12 pack of their "Shandy Sampler". I've seen the commercials about the Summer Shandy and wanted to try some. The 12 pack came with Orange Shandy, Lemon-Berry Shandy, and Summer Shandy. The stuff is pretty good, lite and doesn't taste like beer. They would be great after working in the yard on a hot day. The buzz sneaks up on you.

Just make your own shandy. Half Beer-Half Lemonade/Ginger Ale/Sprite (Your choice here). I prefer Red Stripe-Lemonade.

[kb2vxa]

Keep the Shandy to yourself, we here in NJ had quite enough last October.

[KK4AMI]

Beer and its CO2 gets really rough on my stomach as of late. I switched to drinking local "Bold Rock" hard cider, very refreshing. Also very gluten free.

Last time I had that brand of suds was on a road trip headed north in 03. We were near the Urbana/Champain area of Illinois and found a Meijers store less than a quarter mile from the Red Roof Inn at 11:30pm in mid October right off of highway 39.
Compared to the rest of the store's offerings, it was the only thing I could say was worth giving a try. Yeah. The stock was THAT slack for such a giant store.

Before they're crushed under the corporate bootheel, I'm sure they hire some pretty good brewers.

I don't want to see a Clear Channelization of the brewing market, but that doesn't mean the big guys can't come out with some decent stuff from time to time...

Inbev. Mega-giant corporation. They ruin beer. They robbed New Castle of its soul.

Local BBQ place just started this on tap:

So naturally, as a lover of all beer that more closely resembles 10W-30, I tried some.

Bad stuff. Nice and heavy on the ABV, but it has a strong chemical-ish aftertaste. To the point where you question whether you want another sip of it.

[w3bny]

I...I have become a Rye whiskey fan during my absence.

[K7SGJ]

Well, that doesn't make you all bad.

[w3bny]

Hey... I like the stuff...that and I finally made a batch of rock and rye

Just happened upon some Goose Island Ten Hills Pale Ale this evening. It is a limited release, and this stuff is outstanding. They should make it all the time. Wow.

What's interesting is that I found that the Duck Rabbit Milk Stout (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/9790/20216)company makes a brew that is only available in Florida after winning some award thingy thingy down there.
