OT: 51st Obsequious Banter Thread

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Country Club is best. Before the economy crashed it was 2.79 for a sixer. Now it's a whopping 3.50 or 4 bucks.

The cans, which looks like they were inspired by ****ing circus clowns, are the ideal size. Because you can just chug it quickly and move on to a new cold unit when you want to. With a 40, the thing is gonna get warm at the bottom and that's a slog to get through. Flavor when at its coldest is acceptable, and the price is unbeatable.


Mickey's is just flat out as good as Malt Liquor gets. Ergonomic bottle design makes bottles comfortable in the hand and easy to throw against the nearest building when you're done. Also comes with fun puzzles on the caps.


We used to beerbong Steel Reserve with shots of vodka added. One gets your night red-lined if you have to play catch up.

At Mizzou back in the 80's, we could get a case of what was called Red, White and Blue for $6. For a case. When you're 17 or 18 you're just happy when you can get beer, and you want to get drunk, so you don't care how bad it tastes. RW&B really tested the limit, though - it was truly vile. If cardboard could go without a shower for two weeks and then sweat through three t-shirts, that sweat is what RW&B would taste like. It didn't even have that metallic tang that cheap beer usually has, it was worse than that. But it was cheap.

When I was 17 and 18 we would just all chip in a couple bucks and get a 5th of Everclear and Orange Juice. A 5th was like 15 dollars, and you didn't need much to die. On good days we'd get Old E and Colt 45 and play Edward 40 hands.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Am I weird that I waited till I was of age to drink ?

I've been told of RWB before. Everyone who's had it seems to agree it's the worst beer ever made.

 

[YEM]

I would nominate this beer as the worst I ever drank [and did so consistently]

has a rating of "zero" at ratebeer.com
was $8.99 a case when I was in college!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I refuse to drink cheap beer. The cheapest I'll go is probably Yuengling.

A zero rating is impressive.


Worst I've had recently is Costco brand beer. One or two on their own would've been fine. Trying to drink a case...no, that is not fine.

The can looks like it was inspired by used tires. The beer itself tastes like it may have been brewed in a used tire. We dubbed them "Tire Beer."

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

What is probably the most obscure/weirdest beer you've ever had?

Honestly, I'm really trying to think.

Stone Stochasticity Project Your Father Smelt of Elderberries was a weird beer.
Victory Earth & Flame was definitely different.
Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin IPA was strange.

The Mint Chocolate Chip one was good, I liked it a lot, but definitely weird. The Rogue Sriracha, not so much. I like hot things. I like spicy beers. That tasted like I was chugging hot sauce though.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

I had the Sriracha beer. It was okay, I'd probably not have it again.

Twisted Pine Ghostface Killah hurt to drink.

 

[PALE PWNR]

And no. It's just the way things turned out for me. A.) My family is that way. I don't care to mention when I actually started drinking. But it was only at very special occasions and when I was in the Mummer's Parade. I do that every year, and that just has a culture to it. B.) It was just the people I hung out with. Whether that's bad or good or weird is up for debate, but I just went with the flow. It really screwed me up though for what it's worth. I'm 26 now, I finally started going back to school 2 years ago. When I graduated highschool and went on to College instead of going to class I was hanging out at my friends brothers place with all my friends drinking my ass off. I wouldn't change it. I had a really good time and formed bonds that today are still strong as ever with those people. But I wished I would have stayed in school and done what I should have.

I actually had that as well, and I liked that more then the Sriracha. I also had a Chili beer from Triumph Brewery before it closed in Old City that was phenomenal.

I did this, this past weekend. Its so hard when you have half a bottle and you have to pee. You can't undo ur pants lol. I was screwed up after finishing the second one

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Oh also, Terrapin's Moo-Hoo is ****ing weird too. A chocolate milk stout.

 

[Coffe]

Am I weird that I waited till I was of age to drink ?

No, that is the sensible thing to do. My dad said that whenever I wanted to try a beer or whatever before the legal age I had to do it at home and not at a party. So I had my first beer at like 15.

They say that offering alcohol to your children at home isn't that great - but I turned out OK. I think.

Well I do know in some countries, you can drink when you're under age, but only at home and with your parent's permission, or some crap like that.

 

[Sniped]

My favorite beer is Molson, by far. I have a slight biased, because my dad introduced me to beer with Molson.

Salute to the Canadians out there, drinkin' some right now.

Also had a Molson tonight! Cheers! (and thanks friends from the North!)

Same here, my favorite beers are usually Canadian (maybe I was meant to watch hockey). My father always drank molsons, michelob, and labatts. The worst one he had were the Molson triple X, they would knock you on your ass. Personally, I'm not a huge beer drinker. I hate IPA's and all the fancy stuff. However, I love labatts as my go-to. Currently pounding the US average bud light now.

Neither of my parents drink, but I was a caddy and all of the members of the country club drank like fish, so we tended to take after them. (We also cursed like them and chased after the newest, most expensive golf clubs when they came out.) They used to think it was hilarious when they saw the state I was in at 7:30 on a Saturday morning

I don't really like beer either, I much prefer vodka, but I used to love Michelob Light. In Stockholm, they sell beer that is around 7.8% - four of them is enough to set you wobbling.

 

[Hurricane28]

Flyers made me drink a 1.5 40s tonight

Respect! Haha.

I actually enjoy bud light too, funny you mention. I introduced my roommates to Labatts and they love it. I also dislike IPA's, they are waaaaay to heavy for me. I'm not a huge beer drinker either, solely because liquor does the trick quicker, so I'm in favor of that. If you like Canadian beer, another beer I didn't see you mention is Moosehead, seems to be the beer of choice around the holidays with my family (that and yuengling). It's actually pretty good.

I've heard of Moosehead, but never knew it was canadian. I'll have to give it a try very soon since I need to re-up. Sounds like we have the same taste though, I've always enjoyed to liquor-quicker technique.

Yuengling on the other hand, ugh. I live 20minutes from the brewery and seen the infamous Dick Yuengling more times than I can cout on each hand. .. usually people in my area around home hate it, or love it. I call it Pottsville piss water. The October fest isn't horrible, though.

First off, forgive me if this comes off in anyway as gloating or pretentious or anything like that, but I always wondered. In America, the craft beer scene has really taken off, there are a ton of new breweries popping up all the time all over the place. And the alcohol content on these beers can sometimes be astronomical, but it's not really uncommon to see beers in the 11-15 percent range and above. My local pub up the street has a tap list of 30 different beers. Today they have 9 that have an alcohol content above 9 percent. Has that trend not really caught on in Europe?

I'm from St. Louis - I just lived in Sweden for three years, but I left in 2003, so it was a while ago I didn't really know the specifics about all those craft beers, because I wasn't really going out - the whole thing is newer than my social life, which for all intents and purposes died a long time ago

Are those craft beers seriously that strong? I had no idea. I knew there were a bunch of microbreweries and I've heard of all the different flavors, but I had no idea they were that strong.
