Beer thoughts:
For you List purists the RVC is that I only drive my
van to pick up my beer, not after consuming it.
Anyway,
I usualy only buy "good beer", staying away from the
"big beers". ("Good" for me is Sam Adams, Saranac,
Guiness, Harp and any of a myriad of micros. "Big"
beers are A-B, Miller and Coors.)
But every once in a while I'll pick up a 15 pack of
Blatz cans for $5.99. Great for cooking with....
kraut, sausages, soups, etc... and how can you cook
with beer and not drink one while standing over a hot
stove/BBQ/fire?
PBR is "not a bad" beer and is sold at the mid price
points here.
Schlitz is a little lower in price and a lot better
than Old Millpuppy.
Stroh's is an acquired taste.
Molson's is making inroads in the local market at mid
level prices...I can buy it cheaper here than what I
paid for it in the Great White North this summer!
I recently lost my Great German beer connection
because my Air Force buddy has switched from flying
C141s to C5s and will not be making his twice weekly
runs to Chermany any time soon. Good bye to
Andecher's Dopple Boch.... absolutely the best beer I
have ever had. EVER.
(Not including all those -ators that really are NOT
beer...they're Belgian you know [G])
Beers from the past...
The best cheap beer: Rhinelander Northwoods
$8.99/returnable case until 2000 when they pulled back
distribution excluding Ohio ...woe is me.
The worst beer(at any price): Narragansett
The second worst beer (aap): Shaeffer's (sp)
Other oldies:
Shoennling... Little Kings Cream Ale,
Gennessee Cream Ale
Burger Beer
Red White and Blue
Old Dutch
Sorry, I was out camping in the Westy Friday, Saturday
and today and missed the OT Fri deadline.
