I haven't had one yet I didn't like. The Cigar City and the New Glarus were both pretty damn good.

What r u trying to tell us, lassie? I ain't never heard of it. But Sierra Nevada collaborated with 12 breweries and he 12 pack has all 12 different brews. There is a beer camp tour going on right now as well. It is stopping at El Bait Shop in 2 or 3 weeks(?). I have been wavering on whether or not to get tickets. After reading about it here I might just have to get a couple tickets now. On tap for today? Brewfest at Principle Park in the DSM.

Ima goin ahead and saying this, but Miller 64 is surprisingly a great "post yard work" beer. I enjoy a solid pork chop in a glass a much as the next guy, but sometimes after working all morning at the golf course or in mah own yard I want something that's crisp, ice cold, and refreshing not heavy, hoppy, and best served slightly chilled.
As added bonusi it's only 2.4% alcohol so I can drink a dozen wifout getting buzzed and after switching my weight is down to 277 cause its so low calorie.

I don't care for low alcohol beer because I want the buzz, not the bloat.

Oh yeah, forgot to tell y'all but I am fixin' to go to Revolution Brewery tonight wif the firm. I'll prolly be the chaperone bince the other partners have all backed out. I've been drinking Anti-Hero liek mah ass was on fire and someone told me they have sumfing on tap that makes Anti-Hero taste liek piss. I was quite philosophically opposed to canned beer, but mah gawd, this stuff is fantastic. www.ratebeer.com/beer/revolution-anti-hero-ipa/117752/Holy balls - it has 195 calories per can? No wonder once I quit mah gluten free diet and went back to beer I gained back almost 20 pounds in a month!

18 overrated beers- Miller High Life: Way too many otherwise tasteful people regard this as the cream of the shit-brew crop. It's not. High Life is markedly inferior to Pabst Blue Ribbon and Schlitz. Blue Moon: Most mildly engaged beer-drinkers realize that ShockTop is Anheuser-Busch's crass attempt to jack craft beer's momentum, but for some reason Coors's Blue Moon hustle flies under the radar. Of course a beer isn't bad or overrated just because it's brewed by an international conglomerate, but Blue Moon is one of the worst wheat beers around and is therefore wholly undeserving of its market share. It's not that hard to find Hoegaarden, Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen, or Allagash White these days. There's no excuse to drink Blue Moon. Killian's Red: Another shitty Coors joint. Drink Smithwick's or, better yet, O'Hara's Red. Heineken: One of my favorite lies is that I don't judge people by what they drink, but the truth is I have a hard time respecting anyone I see holding this skunky pinkie ring of a beer. Yuengling.Corona: Always skunked, maybe even intentionally. It's not a great sign when your beer is customarily served with a lime to hide the flavor. If you like lime in your beer, that's cool (and weird), but in that case, you're better off just drinking the cheapest thing you can find. Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale: This was one of the most disappointing things I've tried in the past several years. You can get all sorts of barrel-aged beers these days—KelSo recently put out a really nice Jameson-barrel IPA, for instance—so there's no reason to settle for this erstwhile novelty. It tastes like generic strong ale overdosed with vanilla. Heady Topper and all the other wait-in-line double IPAs: Double IPAs are so expensive to make (and therefore to buy) that there aren't too many bad ones on the market. I love Heady Topper, and I get excited every time one of my beer-obsessive friends tosses one my way, but I can't justify waiting around all morning outside a middle-of-nowhere brewery for the privilege of buying something that's only marginally better than Dogfish Head 90 Minute, which you can buy on friggin' Amtrak. Stella Artois: This is clearly just Belgium fucking with us. Stella Artois has to be the very worst beer they make. Bass Ale: This only still exists because stupid black and tans do. Magic Hat #9: Vermont's first nationally prominent brewery seems to be more interested in marketing than brewing these days, and it's high time for their apricot flagship to go away. I'll fuck with fruit beer—I love 21st Amendment's Hell or High Watermelon, and even have a soft spot for the unremarkable Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat—but #9's popularity far outstrips its quality. Your local brewery's flagship: In most cases, the beer that put a brewery on the map way back when—even if way back when was two years ago—has since been surpassed in-house. They may need to keep the sales workhorse around to keep the ship afloat, but the brewers themselves know that they've gotten better at their craft since creating that first hit recipe. (Samuel Adams Boston Lager and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale are notable exceptions to this rule, which applies most heavily to smaller operations.) North Coast Old Rasputin: Imperial stouts from high-end breweries are similar to double IPAs in that they're almost all very good. And Old Rasputin, from the redoubtable producer of America's finest pilsner, is awesome. But it's not as transcendent as its reputation suggests. Anchor Steam: Hey man, I'm not any happier about this than you are. I like Anchor Porter and California Lager, but the Steam isn't very good. It's too malty and musty, and it bores my poor tongue to death. Rolling Rock: Rolling Rock, which sucks real bad, has a strange little mystique around it for some reason. Can anyone explain why a large segment of the Pennsylvanian diaspora considers this to be the ultimate good-time juice? Red Stripe: This is just a Jamaican marketing hustle. I'm told Harvard students fall for it in alarming numbers. Suckers. Red Stripe isn't even good for Caribbean beer. You want to get all islandic, drink yourself some Prestige (Haitian) or Presidente (Dominican). Moosehead: Canadian Red Stripe. Shiner Bock: Shiner is reputed to make some very good beers, but I've only had the much-heralded Bock, which is musty and dirty. Sure, fuck it: Texan Red Stripe. theconcourse.deadspin.com/18-overrated-beers-1609092735
