RE: The beer thread
haha thanks dude... Nothing wrong with cheap beer. Just matters what the occasion is. If my going to a nice steak house im not going to order a Bud Light when they have Anchor Steam on the Beer List, But if its Sunday Football, I'll pretty much drink whatevers in the fridge (as long as its not a bitch pop)
No Smirnoff, No Hooch Ice, No Sparxx etc etc....
On a side note.. I had a Mirror Pond and didnt admire the taste much.. But got a couple buddies that live and die by it.
Oh yea... and i havent read all 5 pages, but I was glad not to see Guniess everywhere... everyone raves about that ****, and I think its plain CRAP. If I want to drink dirt i'll go outside and drink muddy puddle water, and save $5 a bottle.
BTW, I LOVE Nyquil and Rubbing Alcohol on ur list... lol now thats straight savage!

RE: The beer thread
Throughout my life, I have never liked real Hoppy beers, like most IPA's I can't stomach. But I tried thisbeer one day on my friends dime, I probably never would have bought this beer but I won't turn down a free one, and I really liked it, so I got a sixer in my fridge at all times now. All the beers I listed above are in my fridge right now.

I find, when people say they don't like to much hops in their beer, it's not about the bitterness, it's about the specific hops used and balance and "match" between malt and hops. A beer can have a lot of hops, but be mellowed out by a ton of malt. I find hoppiness can be a bad thing, but often, it's fukin magical. I think I'm getting teary-eyed...
BTW, here was my latest discovery. Avery's Hog Heaven:
http://www.averybrewing.com/BigBeers/docs/hogHeaven
It has more hops than most barleywines (I haven't had a lot of this style though), and I love it. At 9.2%, it packs a bit of a punch too-lol. Has a great deep red color and smells like grapefruit and orange. Barleywines age well...but they wouldn't in my house-lol.
Crazy Bruce's looks nice. Do they stock all of varieties for the brewerys listed, or just a few? How about microbrews? WTF do they have?
