BEER THREAD!

Post by **Freakzilla** » 13 Mar 2008 18:50

An old infantryman dies and goes to Heaven. At the pearly gates he meets Saint Peter. "Hey Glad to see you made it, we need Grunts up here and you deserve to be here"
The grunt smiles and is about to step into heaven, he turns and asks "St. Pete, You don't have any CAV up here do you? They picked on me my whole career. Throwing MRE's and coke cans at me as they rode by, I hate CAV"

" NO WAY!" says Saint Peter " There is no CAV here. They stay down at Fiddlers Green."

So the grunt steps into heaven again and sees a cloud with a gun tube sticking out of it. All hell breaking loose, loud music, girls screaming, bottles breaking.

" Hey that's CAV, you lied to me"

"No, no, no, that's the Mechanized Infantry."

"OK", so he goes to step in again. Hears the same raucous from another cloud and sees a bigger gun tube " that's CAV!!!!" he screams hysterically.

"Calm down that's artillery, they bailed you out when you were in trouble."

"YA, dem guys are OK" So the grunt takes another step. An M1A1 Abrams tank comes screaming around a corner, the gunner hunched over his sights firing 120mm's and coax everywhere, The Tank Commander has a Stetson on and a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and a blonde on the other.

Crossed sabers are painted on the side of the tank. "THAT'S THE CAV!" screams the Grunt.

"NAW' says Saint Peter " that's GOD, He just thinks he's CAV"

Anyone ever tried Peroni? It's Italian, I believe.

Whoa...kewl.

That movie was right...if you build it, HE will come.

Nope. Haven't tried it or even heard of it. (Italians...beer? Just forged a few new synaptic connections!) How was it?

(Assuming you've had it. That "I believe" murks it a bit, what?

)

Its alright. Like most beers in a green bottle, its a bit skunky for my liking. I'll never figure out why beer manufacturers still use green glass bottles when they know damn well it ruins the hops in the beer over time.

Otherwise though, its not a bad beer. Pretty typical euro lager, Heineken-ish.

Yea, I guess that's why my beer tastes like piss water. I've heard about the green glass thing before...funny the root-beer makers here do use brown glass.

Actually, that is kind of funny, because root beer doesn't have any hops. So you can easily put it in a clear or green bottle

I'm still a wine and weet liquer man though, or at least when I actually do drink, since I'm not an alcohol man.

I started home brewing about a year ago, and became a beer snob shortly before that. I was born and raised in St. Louis, was weened on Budweiser, now I can't hardly stomach the shit. Schlafly's in St. Louis had a really, really sweet Double Stout Irish Ale seasonal just recently. Smokey, chocolaty, very well balanced. Freestate Brewery here in Lawrence has a couple of excellent beers. Their Copperhead is a full, rich, spicy IPA and their Oatmeal Stout is silky smooth. Plus they don't bottle, so you literally have to be within like 30 miles of Lawrence to even get it.

If I have to buy beer at the store, I usually go with a Boulevard product (Kansas City) or one of the Colorado micro's - take yer pick. New Glarus out of Wisconsin makes some outstanding beers, but you can't get it outside of Wisconsin. Their Wisconsin Belgian Red is to die for, but it's really a half wine/half beer. Damn I'm thirsty.

And I may add, this is the official beer of "the beerding way" at the old DOD web site.

Not a real Guinness, like you can get in Ireland. Nothing, and I mean nothing beats an unpasteurized Guinness. Every other beverage on the planet wishes it could be a real Guinness.

Until I experience a real Guinness my statement stands

Around here we call that stuff Vitamin Water, because of the added Vitamin C from the "lime."

Sorry, Honey, but not me. I absolutely cannot get a buzz off the stuff before I am barfing because my stomach is so damn full.

I have to agree with Game Player at the beginnig of this thread, Newcastle is bar none my favorite beer. The bar by my house has it on tap along with an original Donkey Kong, needless to say they get a lot of my money.

I just got back from a vacation in Mexico, and I have to say, I like Dos Equis with some lemon. I don't think I'd get it at home with all the better beers available, but when in rome. I'd also put Sol above Corona but there is not a lot of difference between the two.

Since I live in the home of the "great american lager," I guess I am supposed to defend budweiser. Well, my defense is this, it's better than bud light. That's it, you won't get any more out of me. If you come to STL, try Schlafly, screw AB.

Not a bad beer at all, but its 13.00$ a six pack at my local store so its more of a special treat beer.

You can't catch a buzz off 5 or 6 beers?
