In a garage situation, I thought it was quantity over quality.:D I drink whatever Bob and my son-in-law leave for me.:D Bill, I think "Free Beer" is the best brand of all-don't you? As they say, "You can only rent beer for a short term."

In truth Bill drinks whatever I have as well.....as do other Pelicans. Which is always Heineken. Hmmm. :rolleyes:

And some Americans too, it is better than Butwiper and the other yellow fizzy stuff we call beer here.

I am soooooooooo blessed to have a place 5 minutes away that has all the ones mentioned too date, and at any given time has probably 3o to 50 brands of German beer on the shelf.
How many beer stores have their own website! http://www.mybeersoftheworld.com/

They just opened a new store in a former Wegmans location, I would guess 30,000 square feet of nothing but beer and beer related stuff.

This is their former Eastern Bloc section.

So this is how you would stock your garage refrig? Unless you actually know what all that stuff tastes like, you're wasting your money. Of course the me-too set goes after the fancy aluminum neck wrapped packaging with the odd fonts and foreign words, daring anyone to be so unsophisticated enough to declare, "What is this crap?" :D

The beauty of the store is they sell by the bottle, or let you mix and match a 6 pack. So you can taste test and find styles or brewers that appeal to you without going broke. I have never changed wives, and I keep my bikes forever, so I have to have variety somewhere, besides a different beer every few weeks is MUCH cheaper than a different woman or bike every few weeks, or so I am told.

You will appreciate the label on Stone Brewery's Arrogant Bastard Ale, You may never have read the label, but you have seen the beer before

Well if Shannon liked it, I'm sure I should try it. Besides....it fits who I wish to become.

Garage beer is to be drunk quickly when it's 100 degrees out and then forcefully throw into a metal garbage can.

I'm a simple guy, and in Utah the state run liquor stores charge crazy amounts per bottle.

So my choice of course is:

Let the flames begin!

Fill the frig with the beer YOU like best. Free beer always taste good to visitors.

It is a good thing we don't all have the same tastes, or life would be pretty boring.

Drink what you like, be it $3/6 pack, 2 buck chuck, or the $100 Sam Adams, and Chateau whatever $1000/bottle wine. It's all good, if you enjoy it.

"Free beer always taste good to visitors."
not always

once met some sort of distributor dude for pabst blue ribbon beer.
schmoozing him as a potential client, i claimed to like that beer. not always, just sometimes.

a few weeks later the local beer truck stopped and dropped off what seemed like a warehouse worth of pabst blue ribbon.

took over a year to give away/force people to take some home.
never found anybody that liked it.
for at least a year afterward, it seemed like every bbq i attended had PBR in the cooler.

surely that stuff sat around long enough to turn into wine or something worse.
just might be some out there still...

From the Land of Sky Blue Waters. Sounds good but sure doesn't taste good. There are always exceptions to the rule.

You always serve the PBR after everyone has downed a minimum of 4 beers. At that point the taste buds can handle anything.:D

I always liked the ads........can't remember how the beer tasted?

Some of you in the Pacific Northwest might even remember a group of riders that bought the beer bottle trailers that were made for Rainier?

Your right Bob.. I apologize.... and Lord knows i have been in your cooler bumming greenies.

Just burned off 2500 Calories.... Time for a Beer!

Well, I'm about to, god forbid and stop the presses, work on my own bike for once (the S no less) and I see a Fireman's4 light Ale during breakdown and dyno, and if it get's warm this aftn, maybe a Leinenkugel during reassembly. Should be fun. Then a Satan's Red and a Lonestar during MotoGP tomorrow - but only if the bike goes quickly enough to allow me to get the the gym today. Have a good weekend all.

The best beers are not always the most memorable. What I remember over the years, and have great memories with are the following. The rest just come and go.

HIGH SCHOOL BEERS (In Chicago): Old Style, Hamm's, Pabst.

COLLEGE: Coor's.

OTHER: Heineken draft in a freezing frosted mug, with icebergs floating on top in the Yankee Doodle Tavern by the train station back in Barrington. That was great beer. Or Pacifico while spending two months driving around the Baja. Or even wasting time with my brother in Loveland Colorado sitting by the train tracks watching freight trains go by drinking early renditions of cloudy Fat Tire.

Beer is about memories with friends.

I have fond memories of Schlitz...

Should have bought stock in Molson (Golden)... drank more than my share more than once back in the day! Now days, its Corona...almost frozen, with a lime.

Close but not quite..."Land of Sky Blue Waters" was a Hamm's beer advert line...but the beer was just as bad as PBR. LOL

These days I prefer Silver City Hefeweizen...too bad it's so far away from so many of you!!! (OH, and their Ridgetop Red Ale is pretty good as well) :D
