> [@runner pat](#): > > But Miller Lite? You’re a sick, sick man. All beers have their place, and Miller Lite (and the other assorted Lights) are good for buying two cases for $25 when your buddies come over to watch the UFC fights and you don’t want them looking for beer and raiding your stash of premium stuff. A big cooler full of light beer, some generic “Red Bull” and a bottle of mid level vodka is usually enough for me to ward everyone away from a repeat of the night that two buddies decided to mix \*lemonade \*with my 25 year old bottle of scotch because I was out in the garage on the phone when they got thirsty for more booze when the beers ran out. :eek: ---

> [@silenus](#): > > Where did you bury the bodies? Based off the look on my face when I walked into the kitchen and said “Sorry about that, so who…:eek:” they figured out what they had done pretty quickly and bought me a replacement. Good guys my friends if not too bright after those two cases of light. 😃 ---

> [@Gadarene](#): > > All right. Does that demonstrate that Czechs don’t drink Pilsner Urquell? More to the point, does it refute **puly’s** point (and mine, though I implied it) that Pilsner Urquell on tap in the Czech Republic is absolutely awesome and stacks up just fine against Budvar or whatever else? I actually preferred PU to Budvar when I was over there. Not so here; I suppose Budvar travels better. ---

> [@AndyPolley](#): > > I just wanted to agree with **pulykamell** ’s post, except to say that the single most delicious beer I’ve ever had was a Belgain. It was Westmalle Tripel, in fact. I always make sure I have a few bottles on hand for the proper occasion. Yeah, I drive across town to find that stuff. And Duchesse de Bourgogne- Mmmmmmmm. ---
