IMO, with the exception of Leinie's original, one would be well served by limiting oneself to beers/ales/malt beverages from one of four countries:

1. Scotland.
2. England ("bitter" only, ideally "cask ales").
3. Belgium.
4. Australia (stout only).

Of course, if all one cares about is having a horrible hangover, there's always Stella.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Wait until you guys get old.

There are stages to this whole beer drinking thing.

I think most of you are still in the pseudo-sophisticate quasi-beer snob stage.

My biggest criteria is the smell of the beer farts, and I will waive that prerequisite for about a 2 dollar a case price differential. lol

LOL +1

Back when I drank and lived in a bachelor pad (this was when I lived with a bunch of college guys.. I didn't go. I enjoyed all the parties without the payment/school work) I remember drinking A LOT of Milwaukee's Best Light bottles. I believe they were $5 a case of 12. You can't go wrong with that. Now, mind you, I hated the Beast. HATED it. Until I tried it in the bottles. It was like a totally different beer! I'd pregame with a 6 pack of Bud Light, then move on to 2 cases of the Beast, then hit the bars. Well, bar. We'd never make it out of the first place we hit.. LOL

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

Yeah.. We drank that stuff because we really had no choice. It was either beer, or food. Most of the time it was beer. And even then we had to sacrifice taste for affordability. We were smart shoppers, though, that's for sure. $20 would get my friend and I a large Papa Murphy's pizza, 2 cases of the Beast, and a six pack of Bud Light. That was our Saturday morning/noon.

Now this is a bunch I can get behind, so to speak.

Royale Order of the Blue Flame

I have a problem with their math. It is stated that one in eight people produce enough methane for it to be flammable.

These people must be too prissy to drink Milton Bradley. a/k/a "Toy beer" in these parts, you guys are calling it Milwaukee's Best...or the "Beast"

It ain't the beast for nothin' is all I'm sayin'...

There is no friggin' way that those farts generated after sucking down a twelve pack of Milton Bradley are not highly flammable, I don't give a damn who is drinking it.

Last time I was in Green Bay I tried Spotted Cow. Nothing special. It was ok. I think its probably only popular because it has a funny name.

I don't get beer farts, so that doesn't factor into my evaluation at all.

The closest I have ever come to a decent lager was Baltika Extra Lager, a Russian beer. It was an unusually malty, almost fruity beer, 9% alcohol if I remember correctly. I enjoyed the first half of it, but then the sweetness got cloying and I had a hard time finishing the whole thing. The buzz was pleasant, however. ;)

Yeah, really. Beer drinking is so, well, 20-something'ish.

What do I drink? Glad you asked.

If a beer, I'll drink Guinness. Probably has nothing to do with the beer and everything to do with when I'm drinking Guinness, I'm imagining myself with a hot redhead. I love redheads.

Bombay Sapphire with the bottle of Vermouth nearby (but not in the actual martini glass) with two olives, stirred, not shaken. That's a real martini. Vodka in a martini glass is NOT a martini. It's just vodka in a martini glass.

Or Johnny Walker Scotch, Black Label. I'm not snobby enough for the more expensive labels yet. Just pour it over ice.

If you're drinking a Bud or a Coors, especially Coors light, then I'm just going to have soda pop because if you're not going to drink, I won't either. In that case, Dr. Pepper or Cherry Coke.

wpr (2h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (22h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
