OK, it's sad that the guy died, but light beer tastes like crap! Why drink beer? For the taste or the buzz? Good marketing, bad beer. In honor, I will pour out into the ground some of my forty ouncer, full calorie, malt liquor in honor of him.
I forgot to provide the recipe for light beer in my last post. Here it is:
1 part regular tasty beer
1 part goat piss
Stir, then consume.
Both. Either way, the regular full-calorie is the way to go. Want to burn calories after 10-12+ beers? Walk or jog home - takes longer after getting lost a few times.
Let's be honest, you would have spilled it anyway when you fell over ;-)
There's nothing wrong with light beer. It just means it has less calories than regular beer, that's all. The alcohol & taste content remains the same.
I was at a tour of a microbrewery (St. Arnold's, Houston, TX) where the founder, Brock Wagner, gave a demo on how to make light beer. First fill a glass halfway or two-thirds with beer, say a pils with not too much hops in it. Fill the rest of the glass with seltzer. There you have it, light beer.
Chase it down with something like Samichlaus (a Swiss Christmas beer with about 14% alcohol). Michael Jackson (the beer hunter, not the other dude) just announced that it is back in production.
