you can get a thirty pack of highlife for 11 bucks... drink them all in one night and get up and go to work in the morning

yes, the 30 pack.... as if 24 bottles of piss just isn't enough.
I'll be surprised if I can choke ONE of them down. I probably could after having a couple good beers first, but straight out of the gate??? Probably not.

I'm gonna struggle with the first one too, but we HAVE to do the "champagne of beers" as the first one, we just have to!
I'll be drinking mine out of cans!!! Yeccchhh!!!!!!!

Man, it's gotta be outta the gate or else you won't be straight enough to properly critique!
champagne of beers = fizzy and hangover-causing

Yeah, I know. I'll drink it straight out of the gate for the sake of our goal, but I doubt I can take more than a few swigs. I promise I'll try, but I'll probably end up pouring most of it into tupperware with brats, like BeeGee mentioned.

MHL == decent cheap beer IMO, PBR as well. I know when I go to somebody else's party with cheap beer (and byob wouldn't be appropriate) I always reach for a PBR or HL if they're available.

I'll probably go get a sixer of bottles...I've had a 12 pack of cans in my garage since thanksgiving though....
thinking more about the line-up for upcoming weeks.... (and I'm being America-centric here)
if we want to try and select beers that most people can easily get, I think we are going to have to drink a lot of lagers. But, for ales we should be able to use Pete's or Sam Adams or some of the bigger UK imports (Bass, Newcastles, Guinness, Sammy Smiths).
Maybe we can start each week (monday) by deciding what to drink, give people the time to aquire it, and then drink them on Friday.

PBR is a classic....if there is to be a cheap american swill of the night, i'm always pleased to find that said swill has won a blue ribbon.... :rockin:Baron von BeeGee said:

I feel the need to add two extremely valuable links to this thread.
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Forty-Hands
This is a game I used to play in college. The MHL and 40 ounce stuff early made me think of it.
2) http://www.bevmo.com/productlist.asp?area=home
Recent Supreme Court decision made in legal for beer stores to ship beer throughout the US, so if there is a beer that people can't get in their area, they can probably get it thru this website.
P.S. I feel most of the value of the post came from the first link. Also, if you do a google search for edward fortyhands you'll come up with some great pictures.

first time ive seen this thread...huh. Im definitly in for this, starting next week. I've drank a lot of MHL in my day, and cant bring myself to down another one. I would suggest a Bell's but those of you not in the midwest would have trouble finding them. Could always do a Stone, they seem to be fairly easy to find.
OP

Whitay said:
Yeah, can everyone get Stone? Should we try for the IPA? We'll do an Arrogant Bastard tasting down the road.....
I think next week let's try for Newcastle though...anyone can get that, right?
So tomorrow night, around 8 EST? Just start posting what you taste, think, whatever. Try to keep it constructive but let's have fun too. I'll start the thread sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Bjorn Borg said:
You bet!!!!
On another note....
Does anyone else find it cool/strange/odd/wonderful that we are priviliged to have both Bjorn Borg AND Ivan Lendl on our homebrewing forum?

I hate to butt in again, but tomorrow is St. Pat's day. Maybe we should do guiness? Crud, I'll just shut up, we're all ready to roll.

The Happier Pitcher said:
Yeah, if I didn't have my head up my a$$ I would have though of that. WTF, Should we do both? I'm sure after drinking the nasty MHL, we'll need an ale to wash it down.
I'm game.
So everyone, buy a sixer of guinness draft, in either bottles or cans, and we'll do that as well. :rockin:
EDIT: Save the Guinness Foreign Stout (or whatever it is) for another day, that is a whole different animal for tasting purposes.

That's a great one to put on the list. And they carry it just about every major market.Dude said:
i walked over to the grocery store just a few minutes ago to pick up my MHL...
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY!
Now... I'm all for this whole concept of Beer o' the Week, but I can't really see myself going on a little pilgrimage to find a 40 of this swill.

Another suggestion for this weekly tasting would be my favorite big beer of choice..... STEEL RESERVE! In the 16 oz CANS.
Oh look, there's two nice young men in their clean white coats.... oh thanks, I'd love to try the jacket on..... Uh, guys, I can't get my arms through the jacket..... ahg they're tied up behind me. lil help?

No one said it had to be in a 40!!! You can get a 6 pack of bottles at pretty much any store for like 3 and a half bucks. Buy the bottles and drink what you can stomach, use the rest to simmer brats (the wonderful German sausage kind of brat, not the kids) in. That's what I do.
If I weren't on this stupid motherfreaking diet, I'd make brats for lunch during my brew day tomorrow.

Sorry for being misleading...Dude said:
They didn't have ANY High Life at the grocery store.. no cans... no bottles... no 40s... nada. I walked up and down "that end" of the beer aisle for 15 minutes looking for it.
I was going to grab the guinness while I was there, but I couldn't remember which type I was supposed to get.

PS: I must admit, I've been hearing a lot of commercials lately for Mich. Ultra Amber, and I kind of curious what it tastes like. Maybe we can throw that on on the BOTW schedule sometime?
OP

Imperial Walker said:
Oh, gotcha....but...Raleigh only has 1 grocery store?
I have no desire to try the amber after I tried the Ultra. Yikes.
Walker, on a separate note....please save me a couple of bottles of your IPA, Porter and Pandoras for when we meet up at the Beer fest? 1 of each is fine, I just want to sample it.
I'll bring you some LWPA, Hellfire, and the Honey Pale and the Honey Wheat I'm doing in the next few batches.
