I've lost the beer thread again...(CURRENT BEER THREAD, until a better one comes along)

[Jim]

We have very few restrictions in Wisconsin, so I can say you hands down beat us for ridiculousness.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Big-government conservatives on the rampage.

How do Utahns like being treated like children? Do these laws enjoy widespread support?

[Félix]

People follow like sheep in Utah. They've been obeying patriarchs blindly for almost 200 years.

[Sally, la reina]

Why can't people see the cans being opened? Is Jesus hidden in the mystery of the pop top?

[Félix]

Just because, Sally. We shouldn't ever ask why. We should just believe.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I wonder if the law will be enforced. I guess restaurant inspectors will do spot checks, and fines will be levied? Gosh, in a time of scarce resources and probably layoffs of state employees, it seems kind of dumb to have inspectors looking to see where a can of beer is being opened. Seems like they should be looking for roaches and mice instead.

[Sally, la reina]

In other beer news, I drank one and a half cans of Coors and then became painfully thirsty. It was not good.

[Félix]

They've been enforcing strange alcohol laws in Utah for many years.

So how many did you drink until your thirst was gone?

[Jammies]

At 216 posts, isn't this the beer thread now?

[Jim]

Is that better Jammies?

[Jammies]

It's nice, but janine's is better. ;)

[Sarah]

I always like the title of this one because it reflects the subject matter.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I lack beer.

[Phil]

I don't lack it at all. I think it tastes bad.

And since when do you speak with that accent, LG?

[Jim]

You're welcome to come share mine.

I have some Madtown Nutbrown, Leinenkugels Octoberfest, MGD, MGD 64 and Land Shark Lager.

Hey Jim don't they serve beer in hospital delivery rooms in Wisconsin--to the mom (hands a beer) and to the wee baby (hands beer in a baby bottle.)

[Félix]

I bought a case of Sam Adams Octoberfest at Costco a couple of weeks ago. It's about half gone. I may work on making more of it gone today.

[Cynthia]

Lucky for you to be near a Costco. I've got a Sam's Club, but it isn't as cool. They do have a pretty good wine selection though.
P.S. When did you change your name? I missed it.

[Karen K.]

I don't like beer. Never acquired a taste for it. I used to drink wine or Mike's Hard Lemonade. I can't drink alcohol any more because of the migraine medications I take. Oh well, them's the breaks.

That beer was for the mom? :-)



Here was this weekends new beer, I could pass on it again.

[Félix]

I've been shipwrecked before.

[Cynthia]

Tell me about it, Felix.

[Jim]

::never go boating with Felix and Cynthia::

[Cynthia]

I haven't been shipwrecked LITERALLY, Jim. It's a metaphor, at least in my case. Not sure about Mr. Felix.

[Jim]

I think I knew that Cynthia :-)

[Cynthia]

Mr. Jim knows pretty much everything.

[Jammies]

Did I mention my brother's gold medal for his beer? :D

[Félix]

A gold medal is a big deal. Yay Jammies's brother.

[Félix]

What category?

[Jammies]

American-style Amber Lager.

[Félix]

Next time I go to the Big D I'll look for it.

[Jammies]

I'll hold you to that!

Ohioans are going nuts for Yuengling beer: http://www.ohio.com/news/local/yuengl...

Have one for me too Felix, I will probably never get to Dallas.

[Cynthia]

**still waiting patiently for transportation to Texas, to drink fancy pants beer and interview Rick Perry, but not in that order.**

[Sarah]

Jammies, do they know that Yeungling doesn't actually taste that good? OK, better than a lot of beers...

I had the Blue Point Pumpkin Ale Saturday night (on draft), which I thought was great.

[Jim]

I'm going to have to find me a Pumpkin Ale to try. Glad you liked it Sarah.

[Sarah]

Have you never had one, Jim? Some are definitely better than others.

[Jim]

If I have Sarah, it wasn't memorable.

[Phil]

You have Sarah?

And it wasn't memorable?

[Sarah]

I'm not used to being called 'it.' Also, Jim usually has better control of his tenses than that.

[Jim]

Phil wrote: "You have Sarah?

Phil, Phil, Phil, what the hell are we going to do with you?

[Jim]

I do hate a loose tense!

[Sarah]

I got hit in the head by our loose tense when we were camping last week. It knocked me right out of my chair. Stupid wind.

[Jammies]

Sarah Pi wrote: "I got hit in the head by our loose tense when we were camping last week. It knocked me right out of my chair. Stupid wind."

It knocked you down and then sat on you! Bad tent!

Jim, I suspect the fuss about Yeungling had more to do with its unobtainability, sorta like Coors back in the Smokey and the Bandit days...

[Sarah]

Jammies, agreed about the unobtainability. And Ohio is close enough to PA that you probably have some former Pennsylvanians itching to get their hands on it.

I always find it very interesting to see how breweries are able to create a stir. Natural Bohemian hasn't been brewed in Baltimore for years, but somehow Natty Bo! On tap! is a huge selling point since its return earlier this year.

And right now every bar in town is going gaga over Fat Tire. Fat Tire is good beer, but I don't think it's the best of the west by any stretch.

Buy me a pony?

[janine]

So you can have your own dog and pony show?
