Old Milwaukee beer

[sidewinder]

Fuller's makes a pretty good IPA ... and on that kind of Sam Adams level, Pete's Wicked Ales can be quite tasty, especially the Red Rush.

Fuller's. Drank a lot of Fuller's at the Rose in South Ken -- their cask beer is very different -- not as malty -- I wish micro-brewers here would give real English style ale a go here (but they seldom go in that direction).

Haven't tried the Pete's Red. I'll have to put it on my list.

'London Pride' is the one. It has to be drunk within booting distance of the Fullers brewery in London though, to be sure that its from a fresh cask. The pub right next to 'Mole Jazz' does a damn good pint of it.. B-)

'Old Milwaukee' is witch p*ss..

Is that Chiswick? There are I think, some decent pubs which have live jazz too.

BTW Tesco's have for a while now, been offering London Pride at £1.33 a bottle.

[sidewinder]

Yes

[catesta]

No. I have nowhere else to go. I'm staying in Arizona. This is a good place to be.

All that Schlitz has made your brain soft.

I live out here in Orygone, the home of microbrewed beer. I went through a phase that lasted about ten years where I wouldn't drink anything that wasn't considered what we like to call a craft beer. Hefeweitzens, Porters, this and that ale...I even remember one that was brewed with chipotle peppers. Then one day I had an epiphany. I bought me a half rack of Pabst Blue Ribbon, popped a couple, liked it and never looked back. Back in my days of playing on a traveling slow pitch softball team, I drank beer all the time. Now, I'm not sure I could tell you the last time I had one. I know in my fridge right now, there are two Coors and a Bud, but they've been there an awful long time. Even one beer these days just seems to slow me down and make me lazier than I want to be.

One quick word about Canadian suds. There's one called O'Keefe's Old Style Malt Liquor that's 7.5% alchohol. No wonder you have to buy that stuff at the liquor store. Not designed for hosers.

Up over and out.

Only one beer I drink: my own. (Been brewing since 1978.)

And, I drink it only when I'm at home, alone. Which, I've heard, is the worst kind of beer drinker.

The idea is to drink beer when you want to be lazy.

[.:.impossible]

I was raised on Miller Lite, so that remains a staple in my diet. Guinness has replaced the milk of my childhood.

I'm not a beer snob, though I think I did try for a while. Turns out bad beer is better than tap water. Might as well feel something and hydrate at the same time right?

Too many "micro brews." Most every pale ale, especially India pale ale has sucked. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is the most over-rated beer friends have tried to push on me. Acme Pale Ale crushes it. I thought I didn't like "Pale Ale" because it is widely accepted that Sierra makes THE "pale ale." Turns out Pale Ale is actually not a bad style. Wheat beers? Please. There are very few that I like enough to order over a Miller Lite. Hold the lemon. What is that all about?

Samuel Smith Organic Ale. Very nice. Worth every penny.

Most beer is overpriced, until you consider the price of gasoline, or water. Enjoy yourself. You'll want something to drink. Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think.

[Werf]

Molson is my "generic" beer of choice, my cheap brew. I worship most Bell's varieties, in particular Amber, Pale and Two-Hearted. Love Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and go through periods where I suck back sixers of that nectar. When it's hot and I want a cold chugger, Old Milwaukee, Strohs, PBR, Bud and Miller are all fine, but they have to be ice cold.

Loving IPA's more and more. Mostly been drinking:

Victory - Hop Devil

Smuttynose - IPA

and I'm loving Rogue Brutal Bitter, which is an English Style bitter.

I have to be desperate to drink cheap, American beer....like when there's nothing else around.

[.:.impossible]

Smuttynose! New England. That is a good brewery. Rogue is also extremely good, in small doses!

I'm having a couple of Heineken's this evening, Wes-style...alone!

B-)

Yes! I found out about Smuttynose at beeradvocate.com. That was my first beer of theirs. What a contrast between Smuttynose and Rogue. Rogue has these beautiful bottles and Smuttynose has a cheap label with a couple of old guys in lounge chairs or whatever. But hell with the bottle, that's some sweet stuff.

I'm just grateful I found a place that sells this kind of stuff.

[Sundog]

Do yourself a favor and try this one.

The Original Budweiser

Not alone!

I drink with my buddy Johnny Coltrane. Maybe my buddy Billy Evans.

[Soulstation1]

I drink alone, yeah

With nobody else

I drink alone, yeah

With nobody else

You know when I drink alone

I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast

I don't want no coffee or tea

Just me and good buddy Wiser

That's all I ever need

'Cause I drink alone, yeah

With nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone

I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping

And I woke from a terrible dream

So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel's

And his partner Jimmy Beam

And we drank alone, yeah

With nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone

I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to a party

But I stayed home instead

Just me and my pal Johnny Walker

And his brothers Black and Red

And we drank alone, yeah

With nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone

I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me

And it makes me feel oh so bad

The only one who will hang out with me

Is my dear old granddad

And we drink alone, yeah

With nobody else

Yeah, you know when I drink alone

I prefer to be by myself

Friday night's dining pleasure: a glass of Corona, and a large bowl of caldo de pescado served with fresh limes, cilantro, and corn tortillas. I'll get to the Old Milwaukee after I finish the Corona and the soup.

I survived the work week. The weekend is here. I'm in the mood for some Horace Silver and some Sonny Rollins. B-)

[WD45]

I had Schlitz for the first time a week ago Wednesday. Not as offensive as some over-done pale ales I have been forced to drink.

Every malt liquor I have ever had had treated me OK. Same as above.

I might stand alone, but I prefer lagers over ales any day. There are exceptions, but they are few! [Newcastle being the most frequent exception.]

Bohemia has been my beer of choice recently.

I do believe Schlitz is a very under-rated beer. I don't know if people put it down due to it's reputation/name or the price (or both). I believe, if Schlitz or Old Milwuakee were offered to beer drinkers via a no-name glass, people would accept them as good American beers.
