The Better Beer Thread

[Sarah]

The bar I was at was calling it "Double Alt" and it took some extensive googling to figure out they were the same beer. I have to agree.

[Sally, la reina]

I had a 1554 last night. It was great.

[Félix]

Just one?

[Sally, la reina]

Just one, Felarry. I'm getting very old.

[Félix]

Naw.

Wow, if you are very old, what does that make us curmudgeons?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

In your twilight years.

Ancient and wise Jim? Crotchety and cranky? Past your use-by-date? I don't know, you tell us!

[Jim]

I just want to know what Sallers calls us, besides curmudgeons.

Pumpkin plus beer equals YUCK.

Sad.

[Cynthia]

Bad, bad mommy.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh, that's not so bad. As long as she doesn't become incapacitated, or her reaction times slow. One beer ain't gonna harm whatever's in the stroller.

[Sally, la reina]

Jim, I think of you as somewhere between my parents' age and Sweeter's parents' age. You are beyond reproach.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yet approachable.

[Sally, la reina]

And friendly.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

When Jim is 85 he's going to be a Walmart greeter.

[Sally, la reina]

I hope that when Jim is 85 he gets to retire in Belize and never to to walmart again.

The stroller is holding the cooler with the rest of the twelve-pack.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Heh.

[evie]

Where's the baby?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Back at the bar.

[Cynthia]

Maybe the dingo ate her baby.

I'm drinking lemon flavored wheat beer at the moment. I think it is good, but heavy. I finally convinced Sweeter to stop bringing home Bud Light with Lime and he presents this.
Marriage is fun.

[Félix]

Indeed it is.

Good Lord woman, it is the Lord's day and way before noon and you're sucking suds?

[Sally, la reina]

Last night I drank it.

But yes, the last day of the week is the day I usually save for day drinking and hair of the dogging.

[Cynthia]

Oh my. I think you are pulling my leg.

[Sally, la reina]

But not your finger. You'd probably release roses.

[Jim]

Thanks Sallers and LG.

Here is the latest beer I have been enjoying.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

President Obama on Wednesday indicated the recipe for beer brewed at the White House will be released "soon."

Asked about the recipe during an "Ask Me Anything" chat on reddit, Obama replied: "It will be out soon! I can tell from first hand experience, it is tasty."

Obama did not specify which recipe might be released. White House brews include a Honey Ale, Honey Porter and Honey Blonde Ale.

Interest in the recipe spiked on the social news site last week when a user submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for any one of the White House brew recipes.

[Jim]

This was a nice little beer I had while out in Sallers country. It was by far the best beer they had.

[Sarah]

Nice. I love a good saison.

[Jim]

This one is on my agenda for the weekend.

[Félix]

Don't need a raison for a saison.

[Jim]

A good saison and a good cru!

[Sarah]

It's nice to have a good cru when you go out for a brew.

[Phil]

The brew cru!

Crossposted from politics: What your beer says about you.

[Sarah]

Also, not a beer, but I had Crispin's whiskey-cask aged limited edition applewine/cider, Stagger Lee.

Basically this tells me I will definitely vote, but don't have a clue for whom I will cast my ballot.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

You are among our nation's 4% undecideds? Or are you putting us on?

[Jim]

I'm just telling you what the chart says, because I drink beers from both sides of the aisle, but above the line.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Got it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

You bipartisaner, you.

Some drink artisanal beers, you drink bipartisanal beers.

[Jim]

I'll drink to that!

[Sarah]

There are a couple of beers that I think have been poorly homed. Shiner Bock, for example. Every liberal Texan I know drinks Shiner Bock.
