Ok, while there is about three Barra members here on BS.com there are also a lot of post game drinking buddies and beer connoisseur's (look it up so I value advice... --I am completely tired of Foster's. If I see another one this season I may... well drink less. --Any keg suggestions for the Barra tailgate? With the team playing the way they are WE (as in the people insane enough to still talk about this team here...) may be the only people there! the basic choices are: (due to price) Rolling Rock Fosters Killians Red MGD BUD Heniken Sam Adams (although that one was pricey and not very popular last time...) --IF we spend an extra 40.00 I could get a Beck's keg... I was originally planning on paying this out of my own pocket if this game was as big as I was hoping it would be this weekend but now... I figure our team is more worth Schlitz. -i cannot get corona or tecate for some annoying f-ing reason... Bass and Guniess and newcastle are pretty damn expensive and not very popular with my latin brothers. p.s. this is all REALLY an effort to NOT think about the upcoming game!! We lose again to the Metros we will need heroin not beer...
I think part of the problem is that you guys were drinking foreign beer! (I myself am to blame as I have never drank so much Newcastle) I suggest you get domestic beer. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is comparable in price to Heineken. Or if it is too pricy go for Mickeys.
maybe this should be a PM but anyway, as the newest BB member, i'd like to pay for the keg for saturday--McO can we coordinate somehow?
Say No to Morphine And Heroine!! Due to damaging side effects morhpine and heroine produce, just buy a nice big bag of the green stuff. Not only will it dull the pain, but you'll think United is actually playing good.
Who needs choices when you've got heroin? --Renton I'm down with most cervezas. Becks, Rolling Rock or Killians is alright with me.
Oktoberfest All kinds of 2002 Oktoberfest brews should be available this weekend. A keg of Dominion, Sam Adams, Harpoon, Spaten, or any other Oktoberfest would be mighty tasty, and very seasonally appropriate. (While Oktoberfest is in fact a fest, it is traditionally held in September, not in October...discuss...)
We suck so everyone has to drink alot so they do not remember the play if we lose. My vote is for Rolling Rock one of the best drinking beers around.
Nah, Rolling Rock has that weird sweet taste to it. Kinda freaks me out. Now Iron City - there's a good drinkin' beer from Pennsylvania. In cans, it's cheaper than Rolling Rock...wonder if you can get kegs of it here in DC...
As a Pgh Native I love Iron City. It is amazing beer. Total Beverage at least carries cases of it but they sold out this weekend cause of the point ball game.
Bleeeeeeeech!! Iron City? Are you kidding me? No wonder you can't remember your birthday!!! I think the keg should be Hemlock.
It is a good thing that my football team is the Buffalo Bills and has been since birth (Dad and family is from Buffalo) oh wait a minute no it's not.
Oi, I disagree...rather drink fermented sheep's p!ss. Probably the worst beer I've had at the Brickskeller.
Now THERE'S an idea. I say we convene this meeting at the Brickskellar for a formal, Uh...Taste test kind of thing...
Ballard Bitter, to go along with the bitter taste this season has left in my mouth. If we lose these last three matches, will we be relegated to Zima next season?
No matter how bad we may be. Now matter how low we go we will NEVER, I repeat NEVER, be relegated to Zima, except of course is the women of BB want some.
Along the lines of Bitter beers, I recently tried this Californian Micro called "Ruination," so titled because it was so incredibly bitter that it ruins your palate. I say you get that for the keg, because, frankly, that is the story of the season. Tim
Remember the season when Chris Elliot was on SNL, and he did a skit in which he tried to pick up his teenage babysitter (played by Mark McKinney, from Kids in the Hall) by plying her with Zima? Classic stuff. Speaking of frou-frou drinks made for the high school crowd, perhaps we should make it Mike's, because a hard season calls for a hard lemonade, and at this point, the team and us fans are in about as good a shape as those guys who are pierced by iron rods, lose their feet, and grow extra, evil heads. "Say Benny, what's up?" "Oh, it looks like I've had a seventh, evil ankle operation." "Bummer. How about getting a refreshing Mike's Tard Iced Tea? Would that cheer you up?" "Sounds great!" "Hey, Nelly, maybe you should see a doctor about that knee?" "Maybe you should mind your own business." "Okay, how about grabbing a refreshing Mike's Tard Lemonade." "You're on!" "Hey Ray, what's going on?" "Oh, I seem to ha' grown a second, evil heed, that won't let me play two strikers on the road, and me dog Punky doesna' seem to like the new feller." "Tough break. How about going out for a refreshing Mike's Tard Cranberry Lemonade?" "Cracking!"
Because this is a thread about beer, it is mandated by US law that I take part. Word is the original brewed in Munich Lowenbrau will be available in the US, thanks to the good offices of Labatt Importing. Go put that in your litre mug and suck it! Failing that, Brooklyn Pilsner is the tastiest all around beer I've had this summer. Light enough for the wussy beer element, with enough taste and body for real men who like real beer for crap football.
