The concept of using ciders as a mixer never dawned on me, but sounds great, and now I can finally use those random ciders left behind after a party.
Not if you were under the legal drinking age of 21. My college also banned kegs and party balls on campus.
I really don’t know. Since it was in Pennsylvania, one of my friends probably asked someone of age to buy them beer, said something about green bottles (Rolling Rock), and the person doing the purchasing didn’t know any better.
Back in college, there was a truly asshole RA who was constantly trying to write-up my friends and I but never could succeed. Anyway, one night someone accidentally grabbed a 12-pack of O’Douls and we had to do SOMETHING with it. So we decided to sit in the common area, drinking O’Douls and acting rowdy, while someone…
it was a joke...
Two 7% beers get you drunk?
Surely the legions of trustafarian Bob Marley fans who own Legend and that one song about smoking weed should be on this list.
There’s also this anthem by The Queers:
It’s cheap relative to craft beers, but usually costs a buck or two more than the Pabst-owned regional yellow beer.
I really like the Real Ale Gose, a nice tart lime taste. I love Wild Bear and have 3 bottles at home aging/waiting to be imbibed. Haven’t found the Live Oak berliner weisse yet, and I don’t recall being very impressed by Boiler Room.

Sweet Tea Vodka plus Lemon Vodka (both available from Austin’s Deep Eddy vodka) kicks that up another notch.
“But if you’re looking to sell some beer, it’s still a good idea to take a competent hop onto the IPA bandwagon.”
that was the only “strong beer” at a lot of restaurants in Oklahoma for a while, so I drank a lot of it and ended up wrongly dismissing Boulevard as a brewery until relatively recently.
Glad to see this review, was thinking of picking this one up at the bottle store tonight and your description seals the deal.
I generally do 2 calculations when choosing between fancy beers: oz/$ and ABV/$
I don’t have that cilantro->soap gene, but I guess I can relate to people who do now (except, as I said, it didn’t bother me as it’s really mild). Sorachi Ace is well up on my list of favorite beers. Didn’t get any dill though, maybe I’ll try again (pretty easy to find in Austin, which is now basically the Brooklyn of…
