I just ordered my first beer of the year at an Irish Pub In Soiuthern California, Samuel Adams ‘76 American Lager. Perfect match to a Prime Rib Sandwich and Garlic Parmesan Fries.

My neighbor retired from Anheuser-Busch in VA and he brought me a case of Vienna Lager, by Devils Backbone Brewing Company.

They are a micro, but I think AB has an interest in them. That was really a good beer.

Happy New Year Freeper gals & guys!

Oh - I did, and I say the Repeal Reserve Lager was better.

I caught the distributor guy carting it into the store, before the label was posted.

I asked, and he said that it was in the system.

So I got 2 x 12. Good price, and good flavor.

In college we drank generic beer. It came in a all white can with ‘beer’ in black letters. Cost about $1.50 a six pack. The first few went down hard. After that, smooth........and a kicker of a hangover the following morning. Its been over 30 years now and haven’t seen it since.

Thanks for the ping! I've been drinking Sam Adams beer for decades and I'm honored that they finally went ahead and brewed up a beer just for me.

Now I know how Billy Carter felt!

SA makes some good brew.....and a ribeye on top of it. What a way to start a new year.

We had black eyed peas and a double helping of collard greens with lots of pepper sauce

I’m stuck on their lager. It’s a great beer.

But I’m going to have to give Lord Chesterfield a try.

Thanks for the tip!
