"Guilty" confessions of a beer enthusiast

[LMGK]

As a New Orleanian, cheap, watery beer like High Life or Bud Light are mainstays at crawfish boils and Mardi Gras because you can buy a bunch for everyone for a low price. That, and, only up until this year, our local breweries weren't canning yet.

Even still, this past Mardi Gras, I bought a suitcase of High Life and enjoyed every bit of it, especially in the neutral ground (median) in a torrential downpour.

Crawfish Bol = awesome
Crawfish boil with highlife = evening more amazing!!

Your post has motivated me to do a shrimp boil for my fantasy baseball draft party in a few weeks, thank you.

Except I got a ton of homebrew ready to go, no high life but I still give props to the champagne of beers for what it is.

Due to certain US laws I grew up a baseball fan first and a beer fan second. Now that I've been drinking craft beers for several years I have a hard time drinking the BMC when I'm around the house, however, put me at a Braves game with salted peanuts, a hot dog, and a cold Budweiser and I couldn't be happier.

I also take an annual camping trip with some college buddies. Despite the fact that we all enjoy and can afford better booze than we were imbibing 10 years ago, we always still come equipped with Miller High Life and Evan Williams. We've never talked about it, or talked about changing it -- it's just the way it is.

Context matters.

Had many 2 and 3 beer showers while in the Army. Drank Blatz cause it was cheap and I was poor.
