That was my thought… go Seinfeld on their asses.
I guess if the President wants to look impartial, he can keep his beer can wrapped in the little brown paper bag.
Hell yeah.
As for people liking Bud/Bud Light, when I worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant on the west coast of Scotland (at the Aird’s Hotel in Port Appin, circa 1996), the staff, one day after work, said they were going out to buy beers, what do I want. I said I wanted something like a McEwan’s. They looked at me incredulously. “Really? We drink Bud around here. Don’t you? You’re American.” At first, I thought they were taking the piss. But, no, they actually did drink Bud and I just went along with it, saying “Bud’s fine.” I even have a picture of us somewhere carrying that case of Bud from the store. I wasn’t really a beer connoisseur back then, but I was a little surprised.
I had it for the first time in eight years at a party last weekend where it was the only option. I expected to discover that while other beers might taste better to me, I had let my beer snobbery get in the way of the fact that Bud Light was a perfectly adequate, if somewhat bland and watery, alcoholic beverage for a hot night…surely, I thought, it couldn’t taste as terrible and unbeerlike as I remembered.
I hadn’t, it wasn’t, and it could.
I took a sip (plastic cup, from keg operated by professional bartenders), and it tasted like water and foam. Another sip…still no flavor of beer. Still no flavor of anything. There was a beerish smell, but otherwise it was like I was drinking frothy, pale golden, slightly sour water. I don’t mean it was bad beer or weak beer. Not “oh, this beer isn’t as flavorful as the beers I’m used to,” or “oh, this beer doesn’t taste very strong,” or “oh, this beer is pretty watery.” No, I mean I literally could not taste any but the faintest hint of beer in my cup of Bud Light. Like, maybe one beer molecule per hundred parts of water. It was astonishing.
Really weird how people’s palates can differ so much that people would willingly put that in their mouths on a regular basis.
The place Gates is from (Piedmont, WV) is closer to Cumberland, MD than Pittsburgh, so he might not know about Ahrn City. Are there any Maryland breweries?
The nuclear codes are printed on exotically-sided gaming dice?
Nothing.
I wouldn’t have been stupid enough to have escalated that whole affair the way he did.
Do the Chinese make any booze I can easily replace with some that is better and cheaper? 
No excuse.
Pabst Brewing also claims that title, and Yuengling says they might be the biggest by the end of the year.
National Bohemian in Baltimore.
I really don’t like beer at all, but I’d sure give that beer a shot.
That sounds truly vile.
Fat Tire from New Belgium. Powered by the wind.
Pabst Blue Ribbon. Going after the mullet vote will frustrate the GOP even more.
Is it like Cave Creek’s chili beer? Had that once, just to say I did. Have lived a full life not regretting passing on a second one.
I’ll take his willingness to challenge the tropes of black homophobia, as he does in his essay reproduced here, over whether he conforms to a boycott that I think few 'mos, including your Kimmy_Gibbler, has ever heard of.
It’s really good, I swear. Here’s the description on the brewery’s website:
“Cerveza Chilibeso
Brewed in the pilsner style, light in body, crisp and fresh, with just a kiss (beso) of Jalapeno. Judged as one of the best beers in America; a three time Gold Medal Winner at the Great American Beer Festival. (A.B.V., 5.5%)”
The jalapeno note does not make the beer spicy, unless you’re my mother-in-law, who thinks parsley is spicy. “Crisp” is definitely the right word.
That’s a very touching essay.
Well what made it sound disgusting was the reference to ‘liquid nachos’. I don’t think jalapeno in a beer sounds vile by itself, but liquid nachos definitely sounds horrifying.
Zima bitches!
Of course I’d need to be president to get them to retool the factory and make some more.
