The Beer Thread

Thought both Hutch and Yada would find some interest in this
cheap beer taste test

Yuengling…the best of the worst!
Yada will like this quote: Yuengling. Smells like a bar bathroom.

you didn't seem to have a problem when i offered you one before holy holy… come to think of it you seemed pretty grateful

I call out the beer snobs..

in tragic news BJs is out of Yuengling due to the SUper Bowl.. I was a bit freaked out so I went to customer service but was placated by "OH NO WE would never stop carrying it.. it sells way too much.."

let me be clear…I (unfortunately) drink yuengling regularly  :-\
if money were no object, I'd be drinking craft brews and specialty releases all the time
I'd have a killer home brew set up and have stouts and sours coming out the yingyang

but I've got a lot of mouths to feed and bills to pay on my salary
so I can't be drinking the good stuff more than a few times a month

but I can still mock your preference for the cheapest beer

I do find it mildly funny that you keep coming to the beer thread

I can only drink Yuengling and Miller High Life on that list… the rest i find utterly gross.. I dont' care how cheap they are…

I've drank a million beers and I've tried them all and in general cheap beers are horrible.. PBR gives me a headache….Keystone is gross… Gennesse which I wrote about on this board I could not even finish the case and just chucked it….

i don't know about the Yuengling hate..after Foggy Bottom closed it was the defacto DC beer and people enjoyed it then and I still do today.. but now people just want to be snooty so they look down on it..  I mean if I am at the State Theatre and they have a bunch of beers its between Yuengling and Sierra Nevada .. the rest are stuff I won't drink.. don't care

but its true that if I drank beer like some people here "oh lets split an ounce with dinner" maybe I would look at things differently.. but I drink quite a bit of beer so I have to take price into account.. but like yesterday after the BJs fiasco I went to the lost dog and bought a six of Moretti and found it really boring….

Here's another. All beers on this great list are $4 from 5-7 every Monday  through Thursday in the downstairs area.

Seems like the Birreria is stepping up their game in anticipation of competition.

that is quite a good deal as their beer list is always top notch
When I start biking into work again, this is most certainly going to be a pit stop


I will say I'm really getting tired of all these pizza places though…
just want a f'n normal slice of NY pizza  (I am a new convert to Pete's …that's some good za)

i didn't even think to check that… i assumed that i'm just out of the loop and that this place has been around for some time now.  in the end i didn't end up going.  went home and crushed a Big Bad Baptist instead (tasty but too much coffee).
