Balantine Ale!

[andie74]

I was young and inexperienced. Never had that dark German stuff before.

Then, as Oma would say, "You hadn't had beer."

I'm surprised you vomited. Usually the effect takes a few hours. Quite the laxative effect until you are used to such things.

I have tried about 20 different brands of beer (maybe more), mostly ales. I like to respect my tastebuds and reserve numbing them with a good whiskey, rum, or vodka. Best beer I ever tasted was homemade ale. Since I don't have access to homemade beer... My favorite beer is Rolling Rock. IMO, it's the best beer to drink on all occasions. It's sweeter than most beers. Without equal it's the best beer in the summer for a cool down. RR is never bitter and has very little aftertaste. RR has a high enough alcohol content to make you happy with two in social situations where you have to drive home. Finally, it's relatively cheap ($ 5.99 per six pack in my neck of the woods) and it's brewed and bottled here in the USA.

What discussion would be complete without BEER FARTS

---

I've had Busch farts. And yes, I've had Strohs farts. I've even had my Schlitz farts. But nothing compares to Old Milwaukee farts. There was an old adline for Old Milwaukee beer: Tastes as good as its name. I used to change it to Old Milwaukee: Smells as good as its name.

If you can try this beer form Russia. Baltika.
Odd numbers 1-9 are Pilsner, The Higher the number the stronger (9 is about 15%). They now make a 1.5 liter for the people with problems. Most common is a 3, like an American beer or 7 which is like a strong Eupoean beer.

8 is a hefwiese, 0 is non alcohoic. 10-12 are special beers.

Oh forgot to include this in the fart discussion. It so happens, MeisterBrau was served in enormous quantities at my brother's college house. I'll never remember what I did. I'll never forget what that stuff did to me the next 48 hours. Talk about your detox.

By the way the following is an example in advertising half-truth. MB gives you more than you ever bargained for.

With Meisterbrau and a plate of deviled eggs, you could have the bar, or library, or meeting room all to yourself. ;o)

Beer is good!

Took me a day to think about the ultimate but here goes...

1/2 dozen White Castle burgers

Case of Busch beer.

Let digestive juices work: Instant WMD!

[pissant]

Just don't light a cigarette after your meal!

[Toby06]

I kind of figured you two would be instrumental in keeping this thread alive.

[Toby06]

I think I would rather avoid beer if Meister Brau were the only option. UGH!

[sully777]

True! But it caus caus cuased causes ret teer rea retardation.

[pissant]

I noticed. ;o)

[pissant]

Well, as they say, the beer may go down quickly, but the farts will be there for your enjoyment for days. Prooooooot!

Rolling rock?

I once made a good sum of money (relatively) on Rolling Rock.

July 4th, 1982? We took a huge cooler full of Rolling Rock (and a case of Molson for us I think) down to the Washington DC Mall for the fireworks. Bought it at something like $2 per six pack and sold it for $1 per can. I think we had about 24 six packs crammed in there. Made about $100. Not bad for a day of laying in the sun, throwing the frisbee and watching fireworks.

I never really saw it as a beer for drinking. (Except for nostalgic purposes)

Other nostalgic beers are Little Kings (From Cincinnatti?) and Miller lite. They don't taste especially good but they have good memories attached to them.

There was an old adline for Old Milwaukee beer: Tastes as good great as its name.

I grew up in Milwaukee. Constant beer commercials on TV. Schlitz (When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer.), Pabst , Old Milwaukee (Taste's as great as it's name), Hamms (Born in the land of sky blue waters), Miller (It's miller time) and quite a few I've forgotten.

"...Bought it at something like $2 per six pack and sold it for $1 per can...never saw it as a beer for drinking

Put a bottle of Rolling Rock in the freezer. Never drink from the cans. Cut the yard or play a game or two of ball. When you're done, take out the Rolling Rock and drink it. I guarentee you'll never forget Rolling Rock again. I've tried this with other beers and they just don't have the same flavor or zing. BTW, times have changed: Rolling Rock sells for $1 per bottle now.

Speaking of beer jingles, I remember Louis Armstrong's Schaeffer jingle: "Schaeffer...is the...one beer to have...when you're having more than one!"

My neighbor had one of the Schaeffer trays from the 1960's. At the time, my neighbor and I would use it as a sled.

[sully777]

Just realized I spelled Schaefer with two f's, even while seeing the name on the tray. D'oh!
