Thats the kind of beer that you drink while running a trotline.

I love running twott lines

Whatever happened to just kicking back with a twelve pack of some good old light beer? All these fancy names, specialty beers, the oatmeals, and this and that get too confusing. Just give me a twelve pack of miller light and im set.

What? Are you hydrating or something?

Oh yea, Skinny Dip from New Belgium. Awesome seasonal brew.

Cheers

Pinky finger? Nawww, it's the middle finger!

I used to think like you regarding fancy lad dark/thick beers; how can anyone drink that stuff? But, it's an acquired taste and I grew to like and appreciate it. And believe it or not, I somewhat agree with you on the Sierra Nevada IPA (green label)... it's pretty hoppy and bitter, not my favorite. But the guys at SN also make a fine porter and stout (blue and yellow labels) which (to me) are better than the IPA.

Yes, I know, opinions and tastes are like a$$holes, everybody has one... you consider the fancy stuff to taste like crap, while I think the same about American mass produced stuff. Many people think that Guinness is thick and heavy, but have these folks ever actually tried it? It really isn't very strong or heavy... and compared to some microbrew stouts and porters, Guinness is kinda wimpy. Regarding the cost factor, yes, the fancy lad beer is more expensive, but in my case, I don't sit around consuming mass quantities... at home I'll have 1 or 2 in an evening and that's it. Cuts down on the costs considerably.

It's a funny thing how some people can change their tune regarding beer tastes; my wife now turns her nose up at a Fat Tire, Abita Amber, Shiner, Full Sail, etc. Too bland she says, gimme a stout.

Fair enough, I can live with that.

Naw, you guys have it all wrong...

Down in the Big Easy, beer was just something you drank before you went out to really get hammered on the hard stuff....Everclear and Dr. Pepper was a local favorite.

Some personal favorites for cheap-a$$ beer...why spend extra $$$? It was just comming back up anyway....

Old School Dixie, back when they'd just pump water out of the river

K&B Generic (yea, the drug store chain had their own generic brew)

Milwaulkee's Best (when you couldn't find anything local, ya had to down a yankee brew)

I don't think any of this stuff ever actually made it to my bladder....just regurgitated on someone's lawn.

Layoff the meth guys... Everyone knows the two best places where really good micro beers are brewed... And guess what, the east coast aint one of them.. IF you wan't the best beer in the country you have two options.. Colorado.... Or the great Pacific Northwest... Yiengling is really not all that good. Next time you head up to the PNW... Go to a bar/restaurant and order a nice cold Mack&Jacks African Amber. You won't find it in the stores, it only comes in kegs... Then, sit down with a nice Alaskan summer ale, or an Alaskan Amber... Better yet, try a Widmer or Pyramid Hefewieizen.. Hell, if you like flavored beers, Try a Pyramid Appricot... The piss poor beers on the east coast don't hold a candle to what's made out west.... Or how about a Red Hook blonde, Sierra Nevada Pale.... The list goes on and on.. The east coast sucks for good beer.. He!!, the micro beer isle at every store near my house in SEA is bigger than the entire beer isle near my house in ATL... Oh ya, and I can't buy beer in GA on Sundays.... The stupidest law ever...

There ya go, make sure you get that pinky finger nice and pointy when your sippin on that, well whatever it was you just posted above. Come on, just kiddin a little, sorta. How do you guys keep track of all these specialty beers?

My version of that post would have been something like, "when your visiting anytown USA, you should sit down with a nice refreshing Bud Light, or saddle up to a Miller Light, or take it easy with a Budweiser", etc......to the poster, im just havin some fun with ya.....

What's Wrong With Atlanta?

I thought someone would of course say MARTA in this thread...

Thats just a given.

The worst part was the idea to put stop-lights on HWY 316 all the way out to Athens. That used to really bug me driving from Tucker to Athens, stopping every so often for those lights. How am I supposed to do 40 MPH over the speed limit with stop-lights every half mile??
