I thought the move was to drink 2 of the good beers and downshift to the cheap shit after that. Your palate is compromised anyway. Might as well just chill on the fancy beer.

Ha, I love my badges as much as the next guy, and I hunt them when I’m drinking at home. But I drink at bars a lot, and I feel like a tool whippin’ out the phone all the time.

I have not reviewed Pinkus, and I don’t think I’ve ever tried it. I’m with you on pilsners all the way around, I think (and definitely agree that hops are like the beer version of bacon or hot sauce, something that can be great but too often used as a band-aid). So I’ll try Pinkus next time I see it and have some…

I’m not here much because I only follow football, but the DS writers are generally very good. They and i09 are the best of Gawker Media by a longshot, in my opinion.

I live in Oklahoma and Lost Lake Ice is not an Oklahoma beer so don’t blame us for that one! We’ve got some good local breweries doing some good things around here these days and then we’ve got a few others that...aren’t...but whoever makes Lost Lake Ice isn’t one of them

Step 1: Don’t take Walks. Unless the pitches are truly awful, do *not* take Walks.

The Modelos are fine quaffable brews to wash down Mexican fare. And I luvs me some Mexican fare. In fact, I don’t want a big, rich, complex beer to get between me and my Mexican fare.

I love Pacifico. There. I said it. Get at me.

Not to mention Bohemia. Even for Will, this is a completely half-assed post.

C’mon man, Negra Modelo is actually very good. I know you know this.

Yeah, I was surprised what I found with a quick search—I had no idea. Although I still have a problem with the place that tried to call it “corn truffles”.

You mean this plate of creamy, corny, cheesy deliciousness?

Shiner Bock was awesome when there was little to compare it with. Those days are long gone.

I agree completely that there seems to be an unsustainable boom in microbreweries. Pawtucket, RI—a pretty small town just north of where I live in Providence (a pretty small city)—has two. That’s probably enough for the entire state of Rhode Island (which actually has at least two others I can think of, not to mention…

Here’s a picture of Cindy Lou Who, the best cat.

No one did more than Ian to make punk okay for the kids, so I like that you went there.

Abita is fun to shit on, and I get it, they're an older, bigger brewery, so folks give them a ton of shit. But in the last few years, they've started to experiment again, and have put out some very tasty beers. If you've not had some of their newer brands, I say give them a second shot.

I too love the Redbird in the summertime.

+1 for loving Ruby Redbird.
