Why does Malt Liquor taste so bad?

[Enf0rc3r]

The correct term is "Brain Grenades". They are best served from a dorm fridge, turned up to 11, to get them so cold they start to ice when you open them up.........Yup, good times, from what I remember.

In order to salvage a little dignity, I'm having a Lavery, Liopard Oir (Farmhouse Brett Saison), some 5 year cave aged gouda, and sopressata salami. Then new good time.

Negative. Hand grenades. Best served in the middle of the woods by a roaring pallet fire.

Some buddies of mine used to play Edward Forty Hands, they'd duct tape forties to their hands and wouldn't cut them off until you finished them (obviously the taper/cutter didn't play). I did not partake but it was pretty hilarious.

A few buddies of mine and I did that quite a bit. We got to the point where we realized we were just wasting duct tape since our stomachs were apparently coated in iron from guzzling so much Olde E and no one had to get up or do anything before they finished. Then we just decided to start doing the 80 oz dash.

Did he just say he brewed with packing peanuts?!?!

Are you telling me you throw out those extra fermentables AHS graciously includes in their shipments???

4 words: St. Ides Special Brew.


It was my favorite in college.

Me and a friend were drinking those one night when he got pulled over. I was so sure we were going to end up in jail I gave his younger brother who hadn't been drinking the five dollars it took to bail me out the next morning. He held it together and with the lack of alcohol smell, the cop didn't even breathelizer him. For that reason alone St. Ides Special Brew will always hold a special place in my heart.

We use to play this when I was a young airman in the dorms and at a buddies house in base housing. We had good times our only rule was the 40s had to be malt liquor.

In younger days,I waaaaas sippin' on a 40...
But steel reserve got to be way better than colt 45 & the like. Malt liquor started feelin too sweet & heavy bodied to me at some point.

This is pretty good.

At Bottleworks in Seattle (best beer store I've ever visited) they have one slot in one of the coolers where they sell pre-brown-bagged malt liquor - actually, I think it may be just big cans of PBR some of the time - but one of the employees doodles a unique bit of art or graffiti on each one of the brown bags. Pretty fun.
