Although this may be a terribly unpopular tradition, I’m willing to go to bat for Lonestar.Give me a Lonestar any day over a Pabst, a Natty Light (or Ice), and DEFINATELY over Coors Light, the worst readily available beer on the planet (and three neighboring galaxies). It gets a gold medal in the swill olympics. ---

> [@Kalhoun](#): > > Toss a can in with a pot roast. You can’t believe how good it comes out. Sounds gross and dangerous. Now, if one opened the can and poured the contents into the pot with the roast and threw the empty can away without attempting to cook it too, then we might have a tasty sauce/jus/gravy. ---
