Hey look! It's national beer lovers' day, a holiday made just for TiB. My fridge is stocked with Hefe and sangria. Hefe's no Yuengling but it'll do. It's Friday and summer is about to end. I went garage sale-ing for hours with my neighbors and found a great white elephant gift in the form of a parachuting squirrel statue, meant to be wall mounted, for only 50 cents. It's worth AT LEAST that. Tonight, beer and calzones.
National beer day should be in the dead heat of July when it can be enjoyed best. Unless you’re one of those freaks who likes traditional ale. We’re all sinners when it comes to beer. Every one of us who drink it like those one or two brands that makes others cringe or call us fags. Mine is Corona.
There is a local brewery that makes an amber ale that I love but my one true love is Bud Light. Talk all the shit you want, it's the best selling beer in the world for a reason. And that reason is it that it tastes fucking awesome.
I get that it has more "flavor" or "body" than a light beer but high life taste like fucking hangover. Ill drink any number of light beers in a party/tailgate situation.
pshhht.....now that the heat is subsiding, i can finally embrace BA stouts again. my 2 faves right now; Central Waters Peruvian Morning, and New Holland Dragon's Milk Reserve-mint
Yep... winter beers are a wonderful thing... a regular mug of bread. Love me some good porters or stouts. Not sure I'd want to get hammered off of them (not that it hasn't happened), but they sure are tasty.
Give me a good ale any day. One of local microbreweries had some outstanding ales, including an award winning pumpkin ale. But alas it's no longer available since the owners decided to retire to Florida and their asking price was in the high six figures. It won't be the same with out it. Thank God for Sam Adams Oktoberfest.
Here's kind of a fucked up little story.... One of my friends attends AA. Any of you familiar with AA knows they do a lot of good for people that truly need help, but, they also fuck up a lot of people that don't fit their description of "Everyone is an alcoholic just waiting to happen." My friend is one that fits into the latter category. Maybe once or twice a year she'd get fucked up drunk and stupidly drive home. That is a problem, but not a problem that needs a complete lifestyle change and soul bearing and guilt trips in front of strangers every fucking night at AA meetings. She's been sober like 7 months now, and if she feels that's the path she needs to take, good for her. Not so good for her: Last night someone in AA turned her in as suicidal. She is not suicidal, she is going through a rough patch emotionally, but she's coming out of it. So what happened? Mental health services showed up in the middle of her AA meeting and gave her a choice: Comply or be 5150'd for 72 hours. She complied and they escorted her out of the meeting and went to her house and searched it, totally and completely, removing all sharp objects and medications. I asked if they drained her pool. They didn't. So for the next 72 hours she has to reply to texts they send every 3 hours or she gets locked up for her "Own good". If she said something stupid looking for sympathy or attention at her meeting, this is what she gets...but I don't think she did. I have a feeling it was some busy body who felt they were "Doing the right thing" and just fucked up her life for the next few days.
See, that shit right there you could just roll up and smoke. It’s head can deflect small arms fire. And High Life? Pass. Miller Lite is VERY light and smooth, and I honestly like MGD. Michelob...you guys can keep it. Yeah, yikes.
I can't believe I didn't get outbid on this...I put in a bid of around $33 fully expecting to be outbid. I got it for $31.65. Must be my lucky day. Spoiler It's easily worth double that.
My son calls these “Good Light” “Hey Dad - do you need another Good Light?” “Why yes I do, son. Yes I do.”
What is that you say? It’s National Margarita Day? So it is, and so it shall be at Casa de NatCH tonight.
With work and family being so damn demanding I don’t get enough time to get drunk. So I exclusively drink whiskey or beers that are 10%+. Bourbon barrel stouts are the best. Currently drinking in some Weyerbacher finally legal which is 14% bba stout aged with cco bibs and vanilla. Life is too fucking short for shitty light beer. I’d rather drink water.
The first time they bring you one without asking is the day you realize that parenting also has rewards, not just moments.
