    Ycch, Beer!

    The idea has been bandied about for long enough now -- time to take action!

    I'll start with:

    Rolling Rock. (Swill in a bottle.)
    Dixie Light. (Watery swill.)
    Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. (Lavabe knows why.)

    Goodness gracious!

    DevilAlumna, did you realize that you and Earljam are now sharing the same signature - I love monkeys? Are you two now a couple?

    Oh, wait, you write
    I love monkeys.
    He writes
    I love monkeys!!!!!
    I guess he's more infatuated with them than you are.
    Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!

    Now back to the beer, it's all not very good. Some it is just less bad than the rest. Of course, this from a person whose penultimate beverage is a Diet Mountain Dew Code Red. Which he can't get in the Boston area.

    Southpaw is the worst beer ever made. But the worst beer ever drank may be a very special Keystone Ice. It lived in my roommate's Jeep Wrangler for 2 1/2 years. We then put it in our beer fridge, and just waited for someone very drunk and desperate. It smelled completely skunky from the moment the can was open, and it all went downhill from there.

    And I study primates, including monkeys. GO FIGURE!

    Technically speaking, no screaming howling panic monkeys on the DBR today.

    I wound up NOT starting the thread, for fear of earning sin bin points for cluttering the DBR (and for jinxing the thread).

    Yeah, the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is now my jinx beer for Duke, so it will be retired/banned from my beer list during Duke games.

    Add to the list of YCCH the following:
    Genny Cream Ale, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat (a.k.a. cough syrup), Sweetwater's Pilsner, and Blue Moon Winter.

    Cheers,
    Lavabe

    Budweiser Clamato

    Whover had that genius idea should be medically studied. Three months ago I bought two cans. One is still taking up usefull space in my refridgerator. After I took the first sip and prompty spit onto my keyboard, I read the can. It actually encourages you to shake it up a bit. I didn't, so what I drank tasted like pure clam juice with alcohol undertones. Down at the bottom, is some sort of tomato juice concoction, and I guess the rest of the alcohol.

    I figure I'll use the other can for cooking one day, I can't even see getting drunk enough to drink it.

    Why in the world would anyone ruin a perfectly good Bud with clams or tomatoes? Yuk. The guy at the factory who thought that up should be fired immediately!

    Three brands of "respected" beers I have not tried since the early 90s and will likely never try again. The first two I find sickening to the taste. The third simply has no taste:

    1. Busch Beer (Head for the Mountains and run from this beer)
    2. Coors (Way over-rated)
    3. Coors Light (They took 11 oz. of water and added 1 oz. of beer and should be sued)

    By far the worst beers on the planet are American lagers. That style of beer was born from a lack of proper ingredients during the depression. It is garbage and will always be garbage. Still, everyone seems to like it.

    I take exception to PBR - only on the boat though (and during some Duke games!)

    You should try some of the small batch(micro)lagers brewed by folks like Victory, Dogfishhead, Sierra Nevada, Sweetwater, Brooklyn and others. Buy a single and taste the extra hops and malted barley that the major brewers use smaller (see less flavorful) quantities of and also use fillers like rice (read cheaper) in their brewing processes. A lot of the craft breweries will really surprise you with their concoctions in a very good tasty sense. They generally cost $3-4 more per 6er but, to me, are really worth the small price difference.

    Talking The BBC

    Bluegrass Brewing Company, that is.

    Yes, so I wound up getting some more brews before heading back to Atlanta. First, the major news is that Schlafly bottles are available as far east as Lexington, Ky. This is GREAT news. I wound up purchasing their Oktoberfest and their limited edition Extra Irish stout (and pale ale).

    I also wound up getting the BBC's porter, bourbon barrel porter, and one of their more common brews. They also make a hoppy brew for the place where I purchased, so I wound up getting that as well. I did NOT get the HORSE PISS BEER, which I believe is produced by either BBC or Viking.

    All in all, I'll have plenty to discuss over the next month, as will devildeac, and a number of others (read ATL Mafia).

    Cheers and beers,
    Lavabe

    Why is this on the 'ycch beer' thread? Are all your purchases THAT bad? Undrinkable? (jk)

    Waiting for your reviews...

    Meant to go on the Ymm Beer thread!

    Perhaps on the next visit up there, it will be Kentucky Light Ale.

    I did see the Bud/Clamato and Bud light /Clamato combos in Harris Teeter today, and after what one reviewer said, would not even consider touching one of these. What an insult to Bud/Light and I don't even like either of those OZZIE is correct-the ideameister for that combo should be an unemployment statistic now.

    I recently tried the Cave Creek Chili Beer because a relative saw it and wanted someone to try it. I did not have high expectations, so I spit it with a friend who had heard of it as one of the worst beers in the country. There was little to no taste of beer, only the pepper flavor. It tasted like watered-down tabasco. I was proud that we both were able to get four or five sips down before we dumped the rest.
