Rolling Rock was just bought by Bud-Nasty-Weiser and is closeing the plant in Latrobe,PA. and moving it to New Jersey. Nothing against NJ, but I won`t ever buy another Rolling Rock again, that is just uncool. I have hated Budweiser beer from the first one, just plain sweet and nasty I love Guiness and Bass Ale and many micro brews from small towns all over the world. For a high production beer, Labatt`s is pretty good, especially in the hot summer. Jack.
While I am also a great big fan of both Guinness and Newkie Brown, they are not exactly summer beers are they. Perhaps I should have been more specific, and said pilsners taste better in green bottles. Even so, I'm not sure what you mean, that they stink. Do you even get Steam Whistle down there? What about St. Peters?
Heh, sorry I was pretty loaded when I posted that. No, actually I've never had steam whistle / st. peters (that I remember anyway.) Next time I'm up north I'll have to give 'em a shot.
All I know is, if it says Turbodog on the label... RUN. That shit tasted like gym socks smell. I imagined some fat bastard locked in a room on a tread mill, ringing his socks out to fill the bottles. My buddy who drinks Coor Light of all things even said it was nasty and he'll drink anything with alcohol in it usually. eww
"I imagined some fat bastard locked in a room on a tread mill, ringing his socks out to fill the bottles."
that's just....WRONG
ACK!!!
I wish we got more German beers over here. It seems the bulk of imported stuff is British, and then a whole bunch of various Dutch, Belgian, Polish, German, South African, Australian, Brazilian, etc...
The German beers we do get are mostly middle of the road beers like Becks, and then some weisse beers, which are good, but I get tired of them pretty quick.
The same goes with most of the imported beers we get. Lot's of boring pilsners (don't get me wrong, I still like them), and wheat beers/blonde beers, whatever you want to call them.
That's probably why I'm such a fan of the English stuff. I like a darker beer with lots of flavor.
I was just kidding about the raspberry wheat beer guys. However, I don't know any guys who drink it. :ROTF:
They've actually done extensive testing and found that brown glass is much more protective of the beer's taste compared to green or clear glass. A friend of a friend of mine works at Heineken even states this is true...but you won't be seeing Heiny's in brown bottles any time soon!
BTW, isn't a 1/2 barrel of Genessee Cream Ale the cheapest way to go for volume!
"Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."
You pissy ant sissies. The first botttle, glass or can tastes great. After that and a few more you could be drinking Pabst and you wouldn't know the difference. By the way, any beer in a green bottle smells like skunk. Unless it's Steinlager.
Aluminum, tin, whatever. The only beer that tastes any good out of a can is Foster's... from what I remember. Haven't actually had it in years, though.
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.
