Bob4Bills Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Berr is beer is beer... I have a sign in my garage that read's "FREE BEER TOMORROW". All that matters is that there's enough of it and it's cold!!
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 I do not drink Lite beer, diet soda, decaf coffee, anything with saccarine or nutrasweet. Whats the point? 225714[/snapback] The point is when you're a fat farg like me, you still want to drink beer, but save a few calories.
Mark VI Posted February 2, 2005 Author Posted February 2, 2005 When I was a collwege student living in Buffalo/Rochester back in the '70's,and '80's,Genny beer was everywhere and It was a staple at college frat parties.I hated Genessee beer.I always called Genny kegs 'hangover in a drum'The worst beer of all time in my opinion? Piels Lite. Checkout this website: http://www.beerpal.com/ 225845[/snapback] I hated Genny, especially Genny Scream Ale. Some of my friends would drink it exclusively. They would try and order a pitcher and I'd get pissed. Just horrid. Most bars in Buffalo had the Beer and Cream Ale on tap in the '70's and '80's. It enjoyed enormous popularity in WNY, during that era. ( Bleeeeech )
BillnutinHouston Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 I drink Michelob Ultra almost exclusively and it's acceptable. Mostly I like that I can have 4-5 after a game and not feel like falling asleep or (worse) like a big fat blob. I just lost 20 pounds (down to my high school weight) and I WILL NOT GO BACK to being a fatty. On a related note, let's hear how many of you beer snobs are seriously, hopelessly, FAT! Here's to ya chubby!

HopsGuy Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 The worst beer of all time in my opinion? Piels Lite. 225845[/snapback] I'll nominate National Bohemian and Koch's Golden Anniversary. One's piss. The other is Piss Light. Note: I'm a bit of a beer snob, but I've never been known to turn down a beer when offered.
col_forbin Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 I'm partial to Guinness nectar of the gods! 225606[/snapback] This stuff is truly the nectar of the gods, but on other hand.....If it's beer and it is front of me, I'll drink it. Lots of it to.....I like to drink!!!!
Mark VI Posted February 2, 2005 Author Posted February 2, 2005 I used to walk from my apartment on Richmond/Breckenridge over the Peace Bridge to the Brewer's Retail store(The Beer Store nowadays)in Fort Erie and buy myself a case of Labatt's Velvet Cream Porter. (no longer available)I paid the grand sum of $8.00/case U.S. for a terrific brew.(This was back in the late '70's) (a case of Bud was about $11 at the time) The return trip always brought a chuckle from the Peace Bridge customs agents since I was a grungy long haired college student with a back pack full of beer who looked like he was on a camping trip.They usually let me slide on the seventy five cent duty for the case of beer.. 225859[/snapback] I used to drive over to that same store and buy Carlsburg Gold ( 6.5 %) for the same price of a case of Genny. The exchange was about 40 % then and the Candian beer was actually affordable. Today, forget it. Besides, they can now sell the strong stuff in the States .

BillsFanNC Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 4 of the guys I work with brew their own, and they all pick on me for drinking keystone light. I like the stuff they brew, but when I'm buying it's all about price. 30 pack for $10.99 225661[/snapback] But if they are brewing their own they are paying probably between $20 and $30 for 2 plus cases of beer. A small price to pay for great beer.
BillsFanNC Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 It looks like carbonated p!$$. Lite beer? What a waste of time...! 225840[/snapback] Lite beer = "fizzy yellow" to us beer snobs!
Pete Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 I love beer but lots of times I like to catch a buzz when I drink. Calorites come from 4 sources- one g protein is 4 calories, one gram carbs is 4 calories, one g alcohol is 7 calories, and one g fat is 9 calories. What happens with lite beer is they cut back the alcohol and the beer is still loaded with carbs. If you drink for a buzz you will have to drink alot more light beers for the same buzz and end up taking in much more calories. Plus light beer tastes like sh--!
