Tonight, it's been...



Damn, that's a big logo. Anyway, not bad. Not great, but better than most of the crap at the store here.

I never saw 30-packs until moving further up the east coast in the US. UK beer is strange... tall cans (as close as they get to 16oz) and the short bottles (those annoying ones) are common. But it's cool being in a place where British and Irish beer aren't "imports" but garbage like Bud is. Though Guinness is still way too expensive. :(

Good beer ain't cheap, cheap beer ain't good. Friends don't let friends drink bud.

Not always true, but usually is in the States. The draught cans here ain't bad... more than just Guinness is readily available. John Smith's, Murphys, Tetley (dirt cheap but above average), and some others. The most gut-wrenching shit I've had is the Tenent's 'super strong' crap that's high in alcohol but tastes worse than Steel Reserve.

But Bud sucks. And I'm amazed it sells for "import" prices here. Silly limeys. :)

Today so far I've enjoyed:

Southern Tier Porter- Solid porter, very rich for a porter, almost at a stout level

Southern Tier Phin and Matts- decent pale ale, not really my thing, like a bit more flavor

Anchor Old Foghorn barley wine- so good. I'm not aware of anchor being capable of doing wrong.

enjoying buffalo shrimp tacos with homemade guac. gluttony. oi.

Isn't it falling off the wagon?



I guess that comes after the beer has been consumed.

i apologise on behalf of the uk for tennent's super.
that shit is exclusively for tramps and is classed alongside those huuuuge bottles of white cider you see going for like £2 for 4 litres.

i tend to drink Guiness (if i'm hungry), Red Stripe, Corona, Sol, Heineken.
Shit, anything really except Grolsch which I can't stand and Stella Artois which just makes people go mental.
It's nickname over here is 'wifebeater'!. (A friend of mine recently referred to San Miguel as 'senorita beater' haha!
I drink Bud sometimes if I don't wanna get too drunk.

The Tennent's super is gut-wrenching. But there's a different Tennent's that's imported to the US which isn't too bad, so I thought I would take my chances.

I'm still amazed that Grolsch, Stella, Heineken and the like are really popular here. I was expecting British beers to be much more common, but I guess not. They all seem to be more pricey and only come in the larger single bottles. But maybe the problem is that I usually buy beer at Tesco.
