Beer

[For-Life]

Opened up my fridge at lunch today and noticed something:

- Guinness
- Sleemans Honey Brown
- Corona
- Heineken

A beer for every mood. Notice no brown bottle beer like Budweiser, Canadian, or Blue. Those are not tastes.

Fezz, sometimes after drinking Hennessey all night, you need a good corona at the end. Then sometimes you have the hot summer nights.

It serves its purpose. Would never drink it with a steak dinner.

Three Floyds Gumball Head
Spaten Optimator
Great Lakes Burning River
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
Kuhnhenn Fourth Dementia Olde Ale

BTW, anyone heading to the release party for the 2008 Dark Lord? No dates posted yet.

You are so lucky to have Three Floyds, Great Lakes, and Kuhnhenn in your area. Beer guys in CA would dish out $20 for a bottle on one of those beers. Our claim to fame is Stone, Alesmith, and Russian River....

[Jacqui]

Ahhh, beer. I haven't had one for a while, like in 20 years 1 month 8 days and 5 1/2 hours, but I do remember it.

Three Floyds Dark Lord from 2007 sells for about $75 - $120 per bottle now (it's that crazy?). Seems it was only ready to drink in the past month even though they were selling it in the spring.

Winterhook is a seasonal ale that's available from late fall to early spring. Bottled or from a tap, f you could find the right pub or want to take home a keg. I had one from a 12-ounce bottle. Nice head. Not too malty or roasty but not overhopped either. Subtly spiced. Balanced ... right on the sweet spot. And it's 6.0% ABV, centered perfectly within the "Goldilocks zone" for ethanol content ... not too watery and at the same time, not too boozy. I got it on the cheap at Safeway, which is the 24/7 supermarket chain in this area. Just $10.00 "Safeway Club Price" for 12 12-oz. bottles. Discounted from $16.00. A winner in every category.

I love a nice cold Hoegaarden!

[abocandy]

I LOVE an ice cold Bud-light on a hot summery day at the beach or on our boat. I like corona ever now & then and there is one I can't think of le'bault
or something like that it is really smooth.
Yengleng is good too.
(the next day - hair of the dog-I like to put a shot of V8 in my beer add a little salt and drink away...2 or 3 then take a nap...

I had my last cold one on May 25th 1981 at 6:50PM. Actually, it was a pint of Silver Satin white port at room temperature. There are so many beers out there now I'd be in a quandary. Don't miss it a bit and I don't hear that organ music coming from the walls anymore.

Are you sure your not thinking about LSD or Peyote?

No, but if you drink enough alcohol, you too can hear organ music coming from the walls. It usually begins a few years after you develop whiskey palms and is followed by your becoming rum dumb, permanently rum dumb. LSD and Peyote is for kids, vegans. moonbats and members of the Ninth Court of Appeals.

Sifting through all of these replies, I think I'm in the wrong business and should maybe trade in my generator for a kettle with barley and hops.:bbg:

Corona Extra fans: Keep an eye out for Land Shark Lager.

According to ratebeer online, Land Shark Lager, a product of the so-called "Margaritaville Brewing Company", is a Corona Extra knockoff, brewed by Anheuser-Busch at AB's Jacksonville (FL) brewery. It's pitched as a "refreshing, drinkable island lager" (to distinguish it from a "tiresome, nauseating, inland-brewed ale") and delivers a consistent 4.7% ABV from a 12-oz. glass bottle that looks very Corona-like.[movel][/movel]When I trouble myself to hear music (very rare these days), it's usually well-aged instrumental jazz: I wouldn't know musician Jimmy Buffet if there were a skydiving misadventure and he landed on my head. But Margaritaville Brewing Co. is (in a word) "equatable" to Jimmy Buffet.



Beer notable Robb Zerr (pictured) offers an imaginative but "bitingly" critcal review for your perusal at the United Nations of Beer online; but not everyone is so "negatory" about it:

One of the most drinkable and refreshing beers I've ever had the pleasure to sample ...

• Boston Red Sox fan "Bowdoinbeerboy"

Odds are that Land Shark sightings will be spreading across the entire U.S. as 2008 unfolds: It's a relatively new product that's in the first phase of a nation-wide rollout.



With AB's massive production and transport capabilities behind it, Americans can now look forward to the day when there's a carton of Land Shark lurking in the refrigerator of every comfortably furnished residence.

I tried the Land Shark Lager today. An icy cold one would be good on a steamy Chicago afternoon watching the game. But that's about it. Granted, I didn't ahve to stick fruit into it to give it a flavor so that's a plus.

hey, bhess...DH and his firefighter friend brew their own. They've done quite a few with very good results so far.
