Beer!

[rlrose328]

Corona with lime.  But Rolling Rock and Red Stripe are good, too.

I'm a Corona with Lemon gal myself... but I also like Rolling Rock.  We've been experimenting with a different beer every time we go to Uwajamaya (an asian superstore) or Trader Joe's... and I've hated every one of them... dark, light, soft, amber, pale... doesn't matter.  Corona or Rolling Rock are about it for me.

Beer, beer, glorious beer !
Fill yourselves right up to here ! Drink a good deal of itâ€"make a good meal of it,
Stick to your old fashion'd beer ! Don't be afraid of itâ€"drink till you're made of itâ€"
Now altogether, a cheer ! Up with the sale of itâ€"down with a pail of itâ€"
Glorious, glorious beer !

That picture is the only time I ever want to hear a "choir of angels" singing. Beer angels. With wings. And thongs.

Beer angels. With wings. And thongs.

This invoked an image of the girl in "Happy Gilmore" in lingerie with the full pitchers of beer.....

After I posted about Corona last night, i had to go out and get a sixer and some lemons.  It was very yummy.  And after the blowout we just had with the kid, I need another one... or two... or maybe the rest of the six pack.

OMG!!! What a great picture!!!  To hell with that pot of gold and leprechans.....that is what I want to see at the end of the rainbow!!!

The only way I can swallow a beer is after I've had at least two cheerleader beers.  Otherwise, blech!  Disown me if you must.  

[SteveS]

Well, I don't disown you, jrosebud, simply because you dislike beer.  I will think you're weird, though....

I'm pretty poor so I'd hafta say on a regular basis I drink Keystone Light...which once you drink enough of you forget what REAL beer tastes like!  At the moment though I'm enjoyin' a Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve and it's tastin' purty dern good.

Anchor Steam.....I hear that is a Bay Area brew.  I haven't tried it yet, but I have some friends rolling in to town in a few weeks and hopefully we can find a 'wall of beer' that has it on tap.  There used to be this great college bar called "Magoo's"  near UH which also did pizza and sushi.  70 beers on tap, great pizza and Sam Adams pitchers for $6....and that is like a 64oz pitcher.   Too bad they closed about a year ago.....landlord kept raising their rent.   Hell, I took a few night classes at the local community college just down the street so I could stop by after class.  

[SteveS]

Yeah, Kona, I used to live near a Chicago suburb called Westmont.  They had a great brewpub in town, and a sports bar called "Slammers" that was famous for having 100 beers on tap.  It was very cool.  Both were shut down for what I suspect was continual police harassment.  Police cruisers used to circle the Slammers parking lot on Friday and Saturday nights, and it wasn't unusual to be followed or even stopped on a ridiculous pretense when you left.  Hard for a bar to survive that.....

If you like beers a lot and are willing to travel to Amsterdam, the Netherlands then this is the place to be:

De Bierkoning
Paleisstraat 125
1012 RK Amsterdam

http://www.debierkoning.nl/beta/index.p ... nfoUK.html

They have 950 different beers on offer and about 300 different beer-glasses. They pride ourselves in having the largest selection of beers in the world. They don't try to have as many different brands as possible, but simply try to have the best ones, world-wide.

[SteveS]

I can't imagine that I'll ever have the opportunity to find myself in Amsterdam, but if I do I'll surely check it out!  I like the name: Bierkoning.  Roughly, "Beer King", right?  Here in the states we have "Burger King", but "Beer King" seems a lot better.

[Tom62]

Yes, Bierkoning translates into Beer King. Which is an appropiate name because they are located in the "Palace Street". In Belgium you've also got some nice beer heavens. I remember a pub in Antwerp where they had all existig belgium beers on offer. My friends and I try to drink the beers according to the alphabet, but didn't even make it halfway the letter "A".
