I ordered the Dos Equis, and it wasn't even the amber, it was the lager.

To be fair, I probably would have assumed pale ale in the first place with the "regular one" description.
Saw this highlife bottle in a porta-potty at a baseball game. Couldn't tell if it was beer or pee. Does it matter?
My wife was at a restaurant in St Louis with her mom, aunt, and sisters and asked the waiter what beers they had. He spouted of the typical BMCs and Schlafly.
I don't drink BMC, but having grown up in St. Louis, I have to chime in. I realize that waiters spout off the "typical BMCs" almost everywhere you go, but my recollection is that it is a misdemeanor to even mention a non-Anheuser-Busch beer in St. Louis. When I was a kid (late 60s, early 70s), Coor's (my Dad's favorite beer) was not even sold in Missouri. He used to stock up when we went camping in Colorado every summer, and smuggle it back home to St. Louis (definitely a felony). And you couldn't find Bud anywhere near the Rockies. Don't know if it's still the same these days. Cool history, crummy beer.

...or Blatz or Black Label or POC...?
Speaking of beers from my Midwest childhood (that my Dad and Grandpa drank), I was dumfounded when I saw Pabst Blue Ribbon make a comeback, especially as a trendy "retro" beer. I mean, if Pabst, why not Schlitz?
Look at it,there's no head space. so it's obvious at this point that it ain't beer...:smack:
I used to think I was a bad ass because I drank the "King if beers." Only until October of 2008 did I see the darker side of beer. Granted it was American ale, by Bud. It also reopened my intrest of brewing. Oh yeah. I always though Bud was far more supior to Coors , Miller. Gross. Or. People don't drink dark beers because they want a real beer. "bud light." Or, "too many calories." I don't know if the last one is true. Just something I've herad.
Is it even healthy to drink a gallon of WATER a day?

We used to call it "animal beer" for obvious reasons.
I think I need a drukeneese translator for this post. Where's Zul'jin when you need him?!?
drives_a_bike said:I used to live in uptown Minneapolis, and hung out with a lot of punk bands. Every time any of my friends had a party, the beer provided was PBR...if we ran out of that, the backup beer was Black Label. I remember asking, "what the hell is Black Label?". And somebody responded, "it's Canada's PBR". Haha
I'm not sure if I posted this before, but a few months back I went to Alabama for my brother Air Force Officer Commisioning. We went out to this local seafood joint, and I asked the waitress what beers they had. She rattled off the regular stuff and I asked off they had any craft beer/microbrews or any Alabama brewed beers.
She said, "brewing beer is illegal in Alabama", trying to be as nice as possible, I said, "well, home brewing is illegal, but there are still breweries". She argued that there wasn't and the only "fancy" beer they had was Ying Ling and since I had never had it, I gave it a shot...reminded me of Grain Belt
The funny part was, I had dinner at The Railyard Brewery the night before...I must have been imagining it though, after all it's illegal to brew beer in Alabama

Just thought of 2 related to home brew. I was telling a coworker about different hops and flavors and he says "that's what gives the beer more alcohol right". Another I was talking to a new home brewer about an Irish red I was doing and he thought the Irish moss is what made the beer " Irish "
Haha have heard about the hops giving more alcohol. I ask, "so what do you make think that, chemistry wise?" They of course don't know.
I've heard a number of people, mostly young microbrew knowitalls and homebrewers, claim that hops are in the same family as, and in many ways similar to, that other popular budding plant.
It is. A resiny, psychoactive (though far less so) in the plant family Cannabaceae.
