Lagunitas Maximus hits the sweet spot for me in price and alcohol content. 8.2% alc, comes in six-packs, not the dumb 4-packs, and costs ten bucks in my local.

Yeah, I can't jerk off to Bea Arthur anymore either now that she's dead.

Guinness Draught has less alcohol than Budweiser, a fact that once caused an Irishman to threaten to punch me in the face.

I don't understand how SABMiller flew under the radar with Leinenkugel. They've owned it for more than 25 years now, but nobody seems to notice this, and you just keep hearing people tell you about how good Leinenkugel is. It's Miller's "prestige" brand, basically. It's Deluxe Kraft Mac and Cheese.

You must live somewhere cold.

That was Ohio 3-4 years ago or whenever they introduced it here. They moved in very aggressively and now everywhere you go they have the Yuengling neon signs in bars shaped like the state. I don't think Great Lakes was very happy when Yuengling came in, because they cut directly into the market for their flagship,…

I think they do 90% of their business right around Mardi Gras.

Try Fat Head's Bumbleberry. It's one of the few beers I've ever seen my wife drink that made her quake with anger (she's an IPA gal). Fat Head's makes some great stuff, but this — which for some reason is one of only four beers they've chosen to bottle and sell in stores — is not one of them.

It has a lovely bottle.

I like Two-Hearted, it's a good flagship brew. Bell's also makes an overrated DIPA, Hopslam, which I really loved last year but was profoundly disappointed with this year, or maybe just — as the article points out — double IPAs aren't as much fun as they used to be (I like them in bars far more than buying a stupid…

They sell bombers of Ranger IPA here for three bucks, which still feels to expensive. I dunno, New Belgium is the middle of the country's Sam Adams or Sierra, but of those three I feel like only Sierra is still consistently making great beer across their lines. Although I agree with you on Lips of Faith; I have to…

I'm with you on Fat Tire. People keep telling me I don't like it because Colorado beers "don't travel well," but I lived in Denver 12 years ago and didn't like it then, either. It has a funky, dirt-like undertaste that I just don't equate with easy drinking.

Amen. I like whiskey and I like beer. When I want whiskey I'll drink some goddamn whiskey. When I want beer, I drink beer.

Everything? BTW, in England they call it "Wife Beater".

Not in Ohio. It costs less than $5 a six pack here. Which is about what it's worth.

I look forward to Stephen A. clarifying his longform tweet that clarified his series of standard-length tweets that clarified his original statement by taking all or most of the same words and mashing them together in a slightly different order, except this time on the medium that got him into so much trouble in the…

Did anyone actually read the article from where this claim came?

They're not talking about ticket takers and concession workers, though; the study she points to is only concerned with players on the current roster, or at least the most current roster at the time the article was posted in 2012. It's linked right here, same as it was in the above article.

Hey there. I'm almost 50 years old and consider Richard Punch an asshat of the first order.

25 is probably the stupidest age for a human.
