BMC in a brewpub, WTF?

[jpsloan]

You've never traveled on business!

Also, there's a kind of mind-expanding experience that comes with starting conversations with complete strangers who have had a few pints, and get real free with their words... particularly in a friendly corner of the nation.

I know what you mean...I spend about 20 weeks on the road a year...

You can't control anyone but yourself so why give a crap?

agreed. however, it seems to be a right of passage around here to denegrate the bmc, and those who drink it. whatever floats your boat i guess.

i won't lose any sleep over it, and i'll still swill miller high life when i feel like it.

What if it's Chuck Norris at the bar, drinking a Miller Lite?

Chuck Norris is way too manly to drink BMC, FOOL!

Chuck Norris would roundhouse a bottle of Coors Light and it would turn into a pint of IPA.

Chuck Norris doesn't go in for such girly things as drinking beer to get his hop fix, he chews them right off the vine...

 

[King of the Swill]

When Chuck Norris drinks beer, the beer gets drunk.


Chuck Norris can drink beer with his mouth closed. ..

Does Gordon Biersch even brew all of their brews inhouse? There is one down here in Virginia Beach i go to every now and then. I was looking in the brew room once and i think i only spotted a mash tun, and maybe 3 fermenters. For the amount of business that place does, and the fact that the same 6 or so beers are ALWAYS on the menu, i was thinking they might only brew the seasonal in house. Anyone know for sure?

Depends on the location.

I took my BIL to Smokey Mountain Brewery in Gatlinburg TN and he ordered a Bud Light. The waiter started to say something, but I cut in. I said, instead of ordering off of the menu, why don't you ask for a Big Mac, too! They make beer here! Try one!

Oooh...Smokey Mountain Brewery. I love that place -- I once spent an entire afternoon eating giant pretzels and drinking beer there. I don't miss much about living in Knoxville, but I do miss that place.

You've never traveled on business! I was in outside sales for many years and spent a lot of time on the road.

Alone.

Sitting in a nice brewpub or bar with a decent selection of local beer, some good sports on the TV and/or nice 'talent' to look at, sure beats the hell out of a six pack in your hotel room and cable TV. And it gives you a chance to sample several local beers in one sitting.

Ah, you got me there! Ok, so now I feel even more sorry for those guys.

 

[SoCalChris]

blah blah blah..a lone guy sitting there drinking a miller lite ...blah blah blah...Its the equivalent in my opinion to going to a steakhouse that is known for its awesomeness and ordering shrimp scampi.

Did you just compare Miller Lite to shrimp scampi???

 

[Sigafoos]

Well, he was saying it in the sense of going to a place that's known for A and ordering L.

My local Brewpub is about $3.50 for their microbrew, or $5.50 for a Bud Light. I laugh when folks order the Bud Light, but what the hell...

f-f-f five-fifty for a beer? Where the heck is that? Talk about an outrageous cost of living. For that much it better come with a lap dance or something, unless they price it that way on purpose to get people to buy the house brew. Around these parts a beer is almost half that, and I think that's expensive.

No, not $5.50 for a beer. $5.50 for a Bud Light.

Beer is only $3.50... and that's for a microbrew. And they have one microbrew on special each weekday as well, so you can get a pint for $2.75. And, if you're a commuter, they're by the train station and validate parking, giving you an extra one dollar off. So you can get your first pint of the night for $1.75,

I like it when some of my friends are arguing about which BMC is better. My girlfriend's father says it's Miller Genuine Draft Light. I usually just listen quietly and keep my beer snob opinions to myself. It's kind of amusing to listen to anyways.

 

[XxonValdez]

Yup, one of my buddies from Texas says Miller Light is "God's tear drops" wont drink anything else, to each their own I suppose Remember at least that is a step up from those people who refuse to drink beer, if only slightly:cross:
