The "Thoughts That Don't Require Their Own Thread" Thread VI

Probably the most overrated beer out there, IMO.

 

Very much so. I had never had it before it returned to the are but had always heard that it "is the greatest beer ever" and heard so much hype when it came back. While I believe it is good, and agree with Chowda that it is indeed probably the best beer in that price range (Basically the Bud/Miller range) I would say it is not as good as many of the big premium (Sam Adams/Henieken etc.) and there are plenty of regional craft brews that are much greater. I think it's pretty much the hip "new" beer at the moment and that will fade. However the good thing is we now have a fairly quality beer at the Bud price range!

 

Exactly, for a $3 beer, it's pretty alright. But if you're willing to spend $4 on a beer, you could do better

 

Agreed but fortunately for them, there's no shortage of hipsters here willing to buy it.

 

Yeah, Yuengling, leaves me wanting. It has a pretty bland aftertaste. It lacks the complexity of Sam Adams Boston Lager or a Harpoon IPA.

Could it be the darker version of Pabst, "your-former-daddy's-beer" suddenly doing a 180 and becoming popular with the hipsters?

 

For years I've been wondering how much the soccer analysis here on BS is objective expert analysis, and how much it is guys giving their subjective opinions. This beer discussion is really putting things in context for me.

 

Wait, then what does that make Rolling Rock?

 

New Jersey's Budweiser. Rolling Rock no longer brewed in PA

 

Or the Bob Kraft of Beers

No marketing, Big Brother hogging the spotlight. Won't spend to upgrade the beer to make it better

 

Curran Conjecture: Any significantly long discussion of soccer will evolve into a discussion of beer.

 

So how about US Airways?

 

1 of the 5 teams sent out the tweet at 10:01 AM...guess which one.

 

Ya, well I never said I knew enough about soccer to give expert analysis. Never once. I'd never heard of the sport until I was 13, when I saw my high school play it and had to ask someone "what's that they are playing?".

My only early exposure to soccer was watching Pele play at B.C. Stadium, with the Cosmos, in 1974. I went just to get out of school for the day and I didn't know what I was looking at. I never followed soccer until I was 42. So, yeah, I'm no expert. I must remain subjective on it, for the rest of my life, probably. But, I did coach a boys team undefeated all the way to MTOC semifinals, so I know something.

Beer, on the other hand. I think I know what I'm talking about. So, smoke on your pipe and put that in.

 

So? Sorry this is to me just looking for something to bitch about the Revs.

 

Possibly. Just found it slightly amusing that one of the teams posted the tweet a minute later and it just so happened to be the Revs.

 

That's because JDEsq had to do the tweet for the Patriots first, then the one for the Revs...

 

Then what does that make Rheingold? Or Ballantine? Oh.

Well, there's still Genny (Genessee) and Genny Cream, right? My fond ole college brew.

Ya think?

 

Gennnie Cream for $1.09 a six pack. My friends and I used to drive just over the line to NY state. We all shared an expired hunting permit that originally belonged to a guy a couple of years older than us in high school, and that passed for a "valid ID"

 

Do you think he'll be allowed to talk about the embarrassing stepchild?
