I can not stand Bud light or Coors light.
However during the summer months, when I am walking the golf course, lugging a 30lbs bag, I love Bud Light Lime!
There I said it! I like Budlight lime.
It is probably the horrific overpowering lime taste in the hot, direct sun.
Must mix well!

The receptionist will take your homebrewer's card on your way out...

But really, there is a time and place for almost every beer. 85 degree day mowing the lawn? You'll find me drinking a couple cold Rainiers

Sunday 9 o'clock Church service. I'm an usher/prayer partner. Go!
 
Belgian Trappist for the win! Although, since you're in Texas...if it were summer, patersbier might a better choice, since it would be about 110°F at 9AM.

True true. But our A/C at church is world class. I'd be okay with a big RIS in the middle of August in that joint.
 
I was at a taproom not far from me in Minnesota. My conversation with the beertender was such:

Me: "What do you recommend?"
Beertender: "Oh... I don't drink beer"
Me: "Oh... well, why are you working at a brewery?"
Beertender: "I came in with my boyfriend and the owner thought I was pretty."
Me: "Do you know anything about the beers on tap here?"
Beertender: "They all have alcohol?"

She better have been really "pretty"!

Multiple kudos for her honesty.
 
A really good friend of mine came and stayed with me last weekend. He and his wife are rapidly spiraling toward divorce, and it's getting ugly. He's committed and wants to make it work - she got Tinder on her phone. Anyway, he had to get away, and he brought a mixed six of stouts and porters with him (swell fellow, I know). I reach into the carton at random and pull out a bottle of Great Lakes' Edmund Fitzgerald porter. Oh damn, that's a bad sign!

Edited to add image of sinking ship:

Left swipe dat. Sorry, the tinder reference reminded me about this ad I saw the other day.

Coors Light haters: what color were the mountains? If they weren't blue, you're not supposed to be drinking it. Maybe that's the problem. Guess I'd better add a wink face so everyone can see the sarcasm ;)

Ah yes, one of those girls who somehow ends up on a tube site ...

"... what do you mean relax? ... Oh my god, I can't believe I did this ... this is SO bad ... my BOYFRIEND is down in the CAR - waiting for me and ... !!! ... I didn't mean to - I mean, it was a calendar right? ... oh noooo - I've got to go ... oh sh!t I've GOT to GO ! ..."
 
He said that there's a time and place for every beer, not a beer for every time and place :mug:

My father talked about what church was like when he was a kid. He was Catholic and after Sunday mass everyone would go the basement of the church and there was a huge pot-luck type meal and they were served beer to drink. Granted, it was small beer, but it was still beer. 3% stuff, but good tasty beer.

I can't help but think that if this was still a common practice today, more people would be going to church.

Doing it true Catholic style :tank:
! It's cool, I grew up Catholic, I can make that joke :p
 
We went to high mass every Sunday while the meat & stuff roasted in the oven. Then watched polka varieties while mom finished dinner. She was Slovak, so it fit for her. We never had potlucks after mass. Then maybe a cold beer when we got home & changed.

Just from the community alone. The beer would just be a bonus.
 
I don't get being so offended by Coors Light, or any other light beer. It's as innoffensive a beverage as possible, on purpose. The flavor profile is non-existant. Sex in a canoe if you get the drift.

I don't know. I'm convinced Coors Light gives me a sore throat.
