It's for all the closet gays. Fruit in the beer to distract from their own fruitiness.
Anheuser-Busch soon to be no longer "King of Beers"
- Thread starter N8 v2.0
- Start date
The players must like it because they have the best record in baseball.
They have a solid rotation all the way around now, and Marmol and Kerry Wood are both fine pitchers to be closing out games. Marmol's been off it a bit lately, but the bats are so hot it hasn't mattered.
Soriano is out for a few more weeks, but they're still going to win plenty.
What's the status with Zambrano?
Some kind of shoulder strain or something, nothing too serious. I think they called up Marshall, who pitched for them some last year, but I haven't seen a game since sunday, so I dunno if he's started yet.
Edit: Oh, looks like Marshall got lit up in his 1st start.

epcot...serving irish beer in an english pub...I don't know....I haven't had it in a while.
I did have one at Epcot when I was there a couple years ago. They serve it in the English pub there.
damn those bros!BTW, beeradvocate rates Harp and Stella as the same quality swill.

Harp is horse vomit that has been frappe'd...disgusting.
stella is garbage. so is Budweiser. IF you can find it, and probably not since they only serve it around northern indiana and in some cases, southern indiana, Alpha King is the best beer I've ever had.
If you're looking for a beer to get over the counter, cant go wrong with dogfishhead 60 minute ipa. The 90 minute isnt worth it, and the 120 minute is wayyy too alcoholic tasting... no hops noticeable.
Beck's dark is amazing too.. but then again, we are talking about "cheaper" beers here.

i prefer Harpoon Hefeweizen, or Sam Adams Light. or if i'm in the right mood, Woodchuck Granny Smith cider
Hey, I like that blue moon belgian white! There is nothing wring with a good domestic beer when consumed with rednecks at a sporting event.
it's 21% v/v, of course you will taste the alcohol.
'no hops noticeable'? you are insane. it's like distilled hop essence.
heh I couldnt taste it. Keep in mind we had downed a pitcher of alpha king, hoptimus prime (a local brew beer here), and B-52, I was a little tipsy, but I do remember the not so happy taste of rubbing alcohol. that stuff is intense though, I think I paid 16 dollars for a 12 oz bottle..
I would think a $16 beer would be best enjoyed while sober and with a clean palate, otherwise it's a waste of money.
Not in this case IAB. I think the 120 is a waste of money regardless. It's underhopped, over powered by the alcohol and generally just not good. I'd rather have the 60 or 90 Minute IPA myself and I'm a hophead. I'd classify the 120 Minute IPA closer to a barleywine than an IPA but even looking at it from that light, it's just not good. The Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine is a much better example and far cheaper as well.
Some of the nicest beers I've had recently have come from Kirin's premium range. I'd imagine unavailable overseas, although you might find Ichi-ban Shibori Stout which is about as good as you could hope for from a mass production brewery.
i think you are missing the point... the 120 min IPA is like that freaky mouse w/ the human ear...it's an exercise in extremism, to show what can be done, but not necessarily that the end result is a good thing in and of itself.
hey! your ear has a mouse on it!!!
But if you're going to go through the trouble, and then sell it, especially at the prices they are asking, it should be decent at least. I'm on a mission now, I'm going to come up with a recipe for an extrme IPA that I think is drinkable, brew it and then do some blind taste tests.
I tried that years ago. Started out by just using more ingredients. Adjusted slightly after that. Was done at a Brew On Premises place so had some advice from a good brewmaster. Aging was important.

Well, my IIPA, which was a 90 minute boil, was a huge hit last year at Monkeyfest with roughly 22lbs of grain and 7oz of hops (123 IBU). I made a slightly different batch this year because of the hops shortage, haven't tried it yet, it's still fermenting, but yes, age is critical.
lately for some reason, i've been all about red stripe...
some chimay when i'm feeling spendy...
in general i like belgian ales...

I used to be all about beers with high IBU but any more I feel they are along the same lines as trying to eat pure capsacin or chewing on rocksalt. There are plenty of beers out there that just punch you in the face with hops. It is much harder to find one that can bring out the full range of hoppy flavours especially the delicate ones. Of all the grocery store beers I have access too DFH 60 minute does it the best. The best I have had was at a bar in Tempe that Peter6061 took us to after Old Pueblo a few years ago.
Since I got my hands on a temp-troller for my fridge and gained the ability to lager, I've really become all about Pilsners, Classic American and Czech styled so far. I've always been a hophead though and I don't see that changing any time soon.
Holy crap! What time frame?
Mine went from $7 to $8 a six so I started buying it in 12 packs.
dogfish's barleywine
bonus points for having Jon Langford art adorning the label.

Around here the drug store has the best price on beer. I bought 12 Heineken and 12 Stella for a total 30 dollars this weekend.
I'm sure you meant.

anything mexican. iOle!
Seriously thought, pacifico and modelo are such good beers. The tradgedy is that american micro-brewers think TONS of hops makes good beer. I can't drink harpoon beer, and I can barely stomach a sam adams. I can drink belgian styles all night long, along with lagers...but the IPA craze is such a joke.

was in a bar when bud reps were in there and it is all about stocks, warren beatty holds the most in private sector, 8%, but it still could happen.
PBR comes in bottles.

That $hit is $15 for a 12-pack in your state? There has got to be something SERIOUSLY wrong in MA.<snip>
Bud is like sex in a canoe. Fvcking close to water.
harpoon makes a lot more than just IPA.
i'm not sure what the going rate is.
what i do know is that there are not very many good beers that come in 12 packs.
I think I am going to bring in a little packaging tape to the store tonight and see if I can get some 12 pack pricing on some good beer.
Damn... really? Out here I can get pretty much all the Great Divide stuff in 12ers or cases. And Deschutes, Stone, Bridgeport, etc. all comes in 12ers too.
You should talk to your liquor store guy and have 'em get some in... he ought to be able to.
