Why I like beer...
« on: December 20, 2007, 09:26:40 PM »
I didn't know brands back then....and I'm here to confess.
I am a Microbrew Snob.

My favorite brewery by far is The Pike Brewing Company in Seattle, Washington.

I love going up North and getting an Oak Creek Amber.......yum!

If I can't have the micro-stuff, I usually am sipping a Sam Adams (winter Lager this time-o year), Fat Tire or Dos Equis (sp?).

:aok
Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think it's Colin. - Tim Vine.

My standard "everyday" stuff is ESB, by Redhook (another local brewery) I like Fat Tire too. I don't usually do the Mexican beers except during the heat of the summer.

Fat Tire has become my favorite.
Here we put salt on Margaritas, not sidewalks.

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

(chorus)
I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(he likes beer)

My wife often frowns when were out on the town
And Im wearing a suit and a tie
Shes sipping vermouth and she thinks Im uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by

(chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love beer
(yes, he likes beer)

Currently, I reside in Mexico del Norte or as some people call it, Phoenix. Mexican beer is to Phoenix as Coors Light is to Golden, Colorado.

Regardless, going to the Yardhouse is one of my favorite outings. Over 100 beers on tap, many micros.

My personal favorite.  Almost the only beer I drink anymore, after 4 years of German beer, most American beers taste flat to me...

Repoman, I usually hit Tempe once or twice a year for a Mill Ave. romp near ASU.  I'll have to hit the Yardhouse on my way down.  Looks great:aok

Gonna be on Mill on New Years Eve for the Fiesta Bowl Block Party. The Sooners will be in town to show WV how to play football. I go to the Yard House at Desert Ridge Market Place by my house. They know my name :D

I have yet to find a domestic beer that can stand toe to toe with Warsteiner!
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I'd agree with that.  :aok

But my favorite comes right out of my basement.


Thank you Jimmy Carter for allowing us to home brew!
