I don't know... Beer pong with a RIS sounds like it might be fun...

I played beer pong one time in college (20 yrs ago) with a two year old mead I made...I woke up last week. The stuff was LPR (liquid panty remover).

It was pretty hilarious listening to the whining from my BMC drinking friends when they were forced to down an IPA. One girl had to give up.

When I asked the waiter what they had, he said "Yuengling."
And Pottsville, PA is local to DC... how?... ;-D
But I don't know if I understand how they call it a craft beer...
I was in a McCormick and Schmick's
I can understand that Pennsylvania is close to DC, therefore any beer brewed in PA is a local beer....if yuengling was only brewed in PA....
But I don't know if I understand how they call it a craft beer...
it's not.
Who determines what is or is not "craft"?
if you can handle the drive out to Dulles, there is a restaurant in Ashburn called Ford's Fish Shack with some awesome seafood and local and not-so-local craft brews, including DC Brau and Lost Rhino
Lost Rhino is close enough you can see the brewery from the Shack.
I'd also point out that in many western states, they'd refer to anything within state as being local, and Pottsville is closer to DC than many of those situations.
"And just for the record, if it takes more than an hour on the highway to drive to, then for me it's not "local." Regional, maybe, in a "Mid-Atlantic States" kinda way."
I kinda thought everything on the upper east coast was local... jk
It certainly seems that way from where I am. I'm in the center of Texas and it takes virtually all day to get out of this place! Was kinda nice when we stopped in Belmar, NJ, but visited NYC, as well as Annapolis, MD and it didn't take all day!
And it can take an hour and a half (one way) to get good BBQ.
cluckk said:They are talking local and not local for up North. We are Texans, so you have local stuff (meaning: "from Texas"), and the foreign stuff (meaning: "from anywhere else").
They burn the malts in dark beers so that they can cover up bad favors.

Reinheitsgebot is crap. There is little reason to include that adjunct stipulation.
Different, not necessarily superior.Look, I learned in a Sam Adams commercial from years ago that beers brewed according to a 500 year old law from a foreign country are superior to modern beers. Is that not true?
Who determines what is or is not "craft"?
brewers do
Yuengling produces 2.5 million barrels a year, the largest US-owned commercial brewery in the US
the American Brewers Association defines a "craft brewery" as "small, independent and traditional", and gives a production size of less than 6,000,000 US beer barrels (700,000,000 L) a year and can not be more than 24% owned by another alcoholic beverage company that is not itself a craft brewery
(corrected production volume, original was 2005 #, updated with 2011)
yesterday we got some new neighbors right across the street. I saw them in the liquor store.
husband: what kind of beer do you want?
wife:it all tastes the same to me.
husband: ok, you'll have Busch Light then & I'll drink the good stuff.
I looked over and he had a case of Busch Light & a case of Bud Light. I laughed a little and said, "you won that one." he smiled & nodded like he was getting away with something.:smack:
A guy at work asks what I am doing over the weekend. "Not much." I say, "Might brew some beer." "Wow!" Says the guy, "You ever get caught?"
After laughing my @ss off to this thread for the past month, I finally have a contribution.
Sent a sixer of my first beer, a cooper's ipa extract kit, to my sister and BIL, been waiting for a few weeks for some feedback, was worried that they had tried it and were afraid to tell me it sucked. They normally drink BMC but i've caught 'em with some good stuff in the fridge now and then.
Sis texted me tonight, they had some people over and broke it out. "overall impression is that they like it, xyz said that it was a really good stout, almost like guiness"
She said she tried to explain the ipa part but to no avail. (in their defense, it did come out very dark, i guess the BMC crowd has 2 categories, light beer (fizzy yellow water) and guiness (anything darker than urine)
