The War on Beer (ZOT!!! Try Our Delicious Troll in Beer Batter)

Seattle P-I ^

[Its a Culture War]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A state senator wants to force Missouri stores to sell warm beer. Under a bill by Sen. Bill Alter, grocery and convenience stores would risk losing their liquor licenses if they sold beer colder than 60 degrees. The intent is to cut down on drunken driving by making it less tempting to pop open a beer after leaving the store.

"The only reason why beer would need to be cold is so that it can be consumed right away," Alter, who has been a police offer for more than 20 years, said Thursday.

"The only reason why beer would need to be cold is so that it can be consumed right away,"

Spoken like a true moron.

Either that or he is a Lager drinker.

Good ales, unless it's an IPA, get pretty nasty, pretty quick without being cooled below 46 degrees F.

They also didn't believe in daily showers, underarm deoderant and not wearing the same clothes more than three days in a row. "

"How did my 12 yo son turn into a German?!"


Wait till he gets seriously interested in the girls. LOL!!!

Ever hear of a Lagered Ale, Kolsch? Think thats supposed to be about 55 deg

"I thought this thread was about drinking beer, not Budweiser."

You got me there. I'll try and stay on topic.

[airborne]

Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out!

Hey, that's my line!

"It was a 6 pak of 6 ounce cans of Coors and I bought it just to bring it home to show my friends those stupid itty bitty cans."

6 ounce cans! What's the point? Sounds like a beer you'd get on an airplane.

Folks who talk about how terrible warm beer is have apparently only experienced warm budweiser, which, of course, is barely tolerable exceedingly cold.

We called em "Lady cans"

[Darksheare]

Only one thing left to do...

Pirate the troll's thread!
ARRRR!
/ bad joke

Sierra Nevadas get kind of nasty warm, of course they ship with active yeast so when the beer gets warm the yeast "wakes up" and starts doing it's yeasty thing. It's a good way to maintain freshness during shipping but it definitely makes a beer that must be consumed cold.

Cold hell, I had to go to St. Louis in 2005. I took the Bud tour. It sucks from the factory.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You can imagine what the water is like by the time it gets to St. Louis.

[airborne]

Well, we should at least drink a cold one in the Admin Moderator's honor for doing a fine job cleaning up the troll spills.( I was gonna have one anyways)

[caver]

Back in my younger days, we used to get those shorty Miller bottles and "shoot beers". You open one up, set it on a table, put your hands behind your back, lean over and grab the beer with your mouth only, kick your head back and down it in one gulp.

[antiRepublicrat]

I kept my cases of good German beer in the basement, never in the fridge. Yummy.

[TheForceOfOne]

I'd like to buy her a cold drink. :P
