Another Beer Thread...

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

I just use the keyboard and mouse. It's a pretty intuitive interface, as far as navigation.

A friend told me that I would enjoy gaming (again) if I were to partake of a few beers while killing monsters or driving supercars.

Is this true? I don't mix my gaming beer. Should I?

Quite true, Jeepy. At least, for me...after a couple of hours, it's like upping the difficulty. *hic*

It has been nearly three months, but I have to update this thread with some great finds that got for Christmas.

It is the PA version of the Michelob Craft collection (no AmberBock in the cases)

Michelob Marzen - Like nothing else I have ever tasted. Similar to Sam Adams Oktoberfest, but better.
Michelob Irish Red - Makes Killian Irish Red taste like Coors Light.
Michelob Porter - Similar to Full Moon, but much more complex and a bit hoppier.
Michelob Pale Ale - The hoppiest ale I have ever tasted. A bit bitter at first, but really smooth and easy to drink with fvery complex flavors.

OH Michelob Black & Tan. 1 part Porter and 1 Part Pale Ale. This makes the Black and Tan by Yuengling (the Philly Standard for a black and tan) resemble a medium Dunkin Donuts Turbo Ice with 3 shots of espresso, light sugar and no cream.

I happened to miss the collection when first released because all the available cases sold out within days, but a good friend stashed back a case for a Christmas gift for me. BTW: This is now my ultimate best friend for life. Well sort of due to the fact that my taste for beer has been so twisted that my favorite ales, stouts, porters and seasonal beers now taste like water. But I will acquire that taste later when I finish the other half of this wonderful collection.

Yes, the review is a bit late, but better than never.

Quite possibly, these are the best beers

Edit: After looking through this thread, I think I enjoy more than my fair share of different beers. But there is nothing wrong with that.
