I had a great server at the bar Saturday with my girlfriend and her friends Saturday night. Super knowledgable about the beer list, talked eveyrone through the menu (which is probably not the easiest at 9:00 PM in a crowded bar with a handful of people who have never been there), and they were slammed to boot.

Born in KS, raised in IN, college in OH, now living back in IN, I have spent WAY TOO MUCH time thinking about this. That's a great explanation of MO though, and one that I haven't really thought about.

Because the Midwest ends at St. Louis. The Arch itself is seen as the "gateway to the west." I generally count Kansas as a plain state.

Burning River was the first IPA I ever had. Great stuff.

Along with Upland in Bloomington, IN (my hometown), Great Lakes was one of my first craft beers. I remember being introduced to it as a freshman in college and having nothing short of an epiphany that beer didn't have to be something you blitzed through to get drunk but instead something you actually enjoyed. Huge fan…

No, he's just an asshole with zero taste =/

I get why Will doesn't cover that, and that Indiana is certainly flush with it's own great breweries, but it would be nice if on his posts, I learned that these great brews have been greatly neglected in my liquor store mostly due to my penchant for buying local.

If I get invited to a gathering and I know the hosts are supplying us with some beer, I will always bring a sixer to help the cause. I just assumed that after you graduate college it was kind of expected?

My sister did that after the first episode. My friend got halfway through the first season and stopped because "they weren't cooking meth enough."

Seriously. What kind of question is "how good is your offense when everyone out there is clicking?" The only question I thought that was sensible was the guy asking what Russ was seeing from opposing players as he railed off all his assists in the 4th. Other than that it was just lame sports talk.

We have a restaurant in my neighborhood that has 130 taps, 30 of which are always locals. It's always busy, so I don't think I need to worry about freshness.

Yup. Illegal in Indiana, along with Sunday sales (unless you purchase directly from the brewery or winery) and buying cold beer in gas stations.

I learned this very recently. My mind immediately started replaying ever Big 3 commercial bragging about how ice cold their beer is.

If I'm sitting around watching a game with friends, we're playing cards, etc., Coors or Miller from a tall can are just fine with me. At the end of the day it's just beer.

Someone who says they're a "scotch expert" and pushes Johnnie Walker of any variation can eat my shorts.

Indiana, for one.

So dangerous. Kids, AMIRIGHT?!?

oh lawd

Good god you sure are stupid when you're a kid. Our go to was vodka from a plastic bottle and Mountain Dew.

No. Bofa. You should get some man.
