Sounds about right for nice beers. That is about what the St. Bernardus stuff runs at.

as they say in the sam adams commercials:

"always trust your palate"...

what's good for me may not be for you.
therefore, you probably don't like fish gut stew.

Except 120 IPA comes in 12 oz bottles compared to 22 ozish bottles.

i was a greek poet in a previous life. no, i wasn't Sappho, i couldn't be that kind of 'wife'.

fish gut stew isn't bad. korean food is a little odd. but don't knock it till you try it. ask bantx. his people eat dogs.

and by 13 year olds, you mean 13 year old girls... the obvious play was to sappho... i don't think you got it njx. sorry.

i don't get korean food. burying cabbage in the ground until it rots? then eating it? *shakes head*

It doesn't rot per se... nor is it pickled... and it's not technically buried anymore, they have refrigerators for that... and it's in pots too, it's not like heads of cabbage are covered with dirt...

then again. it's not like gefilte fish goes down smooth, crappy red wine or not.

SIMPLY MANISCHEWITZ...

crazy jewish cooking.

Unless you are doing a Tour de Franzia. Box wine races.

Box wine, while nasty, can be a riot. Slap The Bag anyone?

When I was in track back in HS, each year we had "the chocolate milk mile".

Both, of course, a staple of any Texas A&M Greek Life member's drinking selection. Which, of course, makes me want to hit them.

Anyone ever had Mirror Pond? I just had it this weekend and quite enjoyed it.

[Brent]

I was at a kegger this weekend and it was a keg of Bud Select... what an awful tasting beer.

Not cheap either, as far as macros go. Stupid selection.

[Turtlepower]

I really want a Keg of Fat Tire... That sounds sooooo good.

[TitleTown088]

Fat tire is the most overrated beer ever. I don't get the obsession, at all. I'd much rather spend that 9 bucks on something I enjoy. Soy sauce city.

The advantages of living across the river from a place who will sell alchohol to any kid with money in their pockets. Crazy asians.

This is where it's at......

Haha. I just picked up one of those magnum's today. I see you have two and one from a previous year.

Yeah that one in the middle is from last year. Gonna get a collection going but I gotta start getting multiples so I can drink them at a year or two old and still have one for later.

We got the Abyss coming out this week and Goose Island's Bourbon County Stout is expected to be in town real soon as well. Real pumped about that one. Never had a chance to try any of their beers. Hopefully I can get my hands on at least a case. Stuff sounds like a can't miss.

har har. a joke a 13 yr old boy would make. very funny.

sometimes it's heads of cabbage AND other vegetables covered with dirt. either way, i prefer to drink rotting fruit and vegetables that've been burped out by small bacteria. especially when, as in the 120 minute, they leave some of the bacteria in the bottle. mmm, yeast.

at least its not 1000 year old egg with stinky tofu.

the only things worse are franzia and miller lite.

both are extrodinarly bad, on top of anything with ice in the name... any light calorie beer...

If I am in the mood to get hammered, nothing is easier or cheaper than some good ole Lone Star Light.

I have an empty magnum of 2005 on my dresser. We get one magnum every year for Christmas dinner, to split with my dad. And then just pick up six packs to satisfy us in the meantime. They are hard to come by. I only know of one store he in NJ that sells them. So I had to drive up there today to pick one up.

Not all boxed wines are nasty. Wish more came that way, as it's a far superior vessel. Like cans are for beer.

Dude I think you're the guy that first told me about those magnums. We got 'em all over the place around here. Not sure how I missed them before last year.

Wine in can is a fun one too.

You can get 6 packs and cases almost everywhere around here, but for some reason I only know of one store that carries the magnums. And it is about 40 minutes away. But that same store has the best selection I know of in NJ. I also walked out with two 12 oz bottles of Dogfish 120 minutes IPA and World Wide Stout.
