Modelo isn't bad--if it's Negra. I'd choose that over the Red Hook.
I love the shape of the Modelo bottles too.

oh didn't you know, you match label color to the color of the beer. SNPA is my favorite green beer.I got a cooking with beer book and one recipe asked for a red ale, and suggested Chimay Red.
I can understand the confusion but not if you're publishing a book about beer.

If they think i would use good chimay to cook with they are insane

OTOH, I'd never use bad or mediocre beer in good food. Chimay would be one of my choices for cooking. But not as an amber...
I found out this actually exists.

At a wedding reception tonight, 2 funny things. 1) the cash bar had coors light and coors heavy (had S.A. and boulevard thankfully) 2) I go to get a rum and coke for SWMBO and bartender asks if I want that with Bacardi or Jack...um...Bacardi I guess.
Ooff. Went to a wedding where the caterers thought that the more they pumped the keg the better. Basically got whole cups of foam.
Since it was my friend's wedding... I drank pure foam and pretended to love it.
Thought of this thread tonight. Went out to dinner with 3 other couples. Restaurant had many beers available, and 2 sample shots of anything on the menu. The women were picking a lot of "fancy" beers with tasty descriptions, ie Mad Elf, a few Belgians, several chocolatey porters and stouts. One of the husbands, kind of a know-it-all, says to the women: "why do you guys keep picking all those dark beers?! They're all so bitter."
Me: *Eyebrow raised* "What kind of beers do you like?"
Him: "IPAs"
Finally got one last night.
Me and my fiancee were out to dinner at a local brewpub. Along with their own beers, they have a list of guest beers. On the board they listed one as "lefty's graham cracker ale." While not completely inaccurate, its a porter, its misleading to some. At the table next to us, one of the women asked the waitress about it, and the waitress replied "well, its a porter, not an ale" to which me and the fiancee looked at each other and.just shook our heads and giggled.
To be fair, a lot of porters (especially Baltic porters), are actually lagers. Though that's probably not what she meant.

I have heard similar statements from IPA drinkers also. I think it is the astringent coffee like bitterness that is so different from hop bitterness that fools them. As though their threshold for the roast-y is so low that they somehow perceive it as more tongue curling than a thoroughly overhopped IPA- which to me can sometime seem borderline earwax. I don't get it either though; this is merely a stout swirling musing I once had.

I like my earwax more balanced with a pleasant roast character.

This is great. Some organizations are just too ridiculous with this stuff.
I thought that most porters were ales with the exception of Baltic porters. What other porters are fermented at lager temps?
My wife, who loves radlers, but not a beer fan. Said yesterday that the radler tastes best over ice.
:shakes head:
Drinking radlers is OK, borderline, but OK.
But over ice!!!
After I stopped laughing, I told her "That's going on the internet"
