This has nothing to do with IRAQ really. Just thought I'd get your attention.

DRINK OF THE DAY!!!!!

Take a Corona, and drink a shot's worth of it. Pour in a shot of tequila. Push in a quarter of a lime. Put your thumb over the top, tip it upside down for a sec and then right side up, and try to release your thumb without wearing it. Enjoy.

It's good for taking the edge off all those iraq threads.......

Oh yeah: don't drink and drive.

Sounds like a good drink for listening to the news these day. I'll be glad when the election and Hurricane season are over...

Posted by: tracks914 Sep 20 2004, 07:17 PM

I bit on it...good one.

Tequila and Beer Had one of my most memorable hang-overs from that combo.

I'm guessing that's why Anheuser/Busch isn't selling too much of that "Tequisa" tequila/beer concoction....tastes like ass!

Posted by: vsg914 Sep 20 2004, 07:41 PM

Corona. Why would you drink a beer that needs a lime to make it drinkable?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 20 2004, 07:42 PM

i agree

wait, i mean... i've never had alcohol before

Posted by: GWN7 Sep 20 2004, 08:23 PM

My question is why/how do you know what ass tastes like?

Posted by: SpecialK Sep 20 2004, 09:20 PM

Umm...Ahhhh...it was only an assumption on my part....

Anyway....Check this out next time you're in buying beer (or near a beer cooler for you under 21's). Pick up a six of Corona and check out the different levels in the beer bottles, I've seen better than a 1/2" difference in the amount of beer from one bottle to the next....makes you go "Hmmmm" <_<

Corona = Caliente Horse Piss

Why dilute perfectly good Tequila with beer. What a waste.

Posted by: MattR Sep 20 2004, 09:49 PM

What the hell is wrong with corona? I know you guys dont drink bud... this aint a camaro forum. Whats the beer of choice? Uh oh, I see a poll coming.

Posted by: Rhodes71/914 Sep 20 2004, 10:01 PM

Corona has it's place- on a beach and it's 90.

Real beer has some color, flavor and an alcohol content over 3%.

I'm not particular to any brand, try to get stuff that is local and brew my own.

Matter of fact that sounds good right about now, think I'll have one of those brown ales I brewed last spring.

Cheers

Coopers 4X Ale - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

and

Corona should be left in Mexico, along with the limes.

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 20 2004, 11:03 PM

i bet you would like that. a lot ....


back to the topic on hand, becks is guud, warsteiner is better, bitburger is the best!

Uh Oh, no longer the picker-oner, I've become the pickee - but from the land of the "twinkie defense", I'll take it in stride.

Posted by: GWN7 Sep 20 2004, 11:29 PM

Limes are placed on top of beers to keep the flys out of them. I always get a chuckle when someone jams their lime inside the bottle.

Posted by: Hawktel Sep 21 2004, 01:03 AM

Budwizer should be poured back into the horse, and leave the world a better place.

Now, a good combo is Tequila, Salt, and a lime, just the way the Aztecs did it, before carving out the still beating heart of some poor sap.

Don't think the Aztecs had Tequila? You know how many steps the pyramid of the sun had? You going to think a sober man thought that up?

Posted by: tdgray Sep 21 2004, 05:50 AM

Only one Beer I like a lime with.

Red Stripe. Nothing like a Red Stripe with a lime on a hot day by the pool.

Not that we would know anything about hot days up here this summer

Posted by: IanStott Sep 21 2004, 07:06 AM

We have good up here, come on up and I'll buy the first one! Your bud isn't that bad. I agree with the Corona comments 100 %, I own a bar and I charge premium price for it cause of the lime, they want to shove down the neck which gets stuck and then they can't get a good mouthful and so on....... When I was in Germany Worsteiner was probably the best beer I had ever tasted but I'm no expert.

Posted by: SpecialK Sep 21 2004, 08:15 AM

I drink Bud Light while working on the car...don't want to get hammered too fast. An add benefit is the frequent trips you'll have to make to the urination station. When it starts looking like two people are "bleeding the brakes" , it's time to put down the power tools.

Posted by: red914 Sep 21 2004, 08:18 AM

guinness. anything from the deschutes brewery. and on a hot day, san miguel.

and, quite frankly, any german beer i have ever tasted makes the cut.

Posted by: tod914 Sep 21 2004, 08:22 AM

yum yum my favorite! a good sam smith's or newcastle always hits the spot. One of my friends made a brown ale one time. Was excellent, so much smoother than anything you get in stores.

Posted by: rhodyguy Sep 21 2004, 08:35 AM

costco alert!!! in stock!!! hof brau oct fest!!! real deal except not in the 500 mil bottles. PROST!!!

kevin

Posted by: tdgray Sep 21 2004, 08:35 AM

I too brew my own

That is the one thing that seems to ring true with all my brewing. No matter what kind it is it just seems smoother that what you get in the stores. Must be less perservatives.

Currently working on a fall ale - wheat with raspberry / black cherry

Beer and coffee should both be too thick to see through and, in the appropriate vessel, be able to double as a welding lens in a pinch.

I have a friend in Iraq...hope he comes back soon...Guiness awaits!

This place usually gets me motivated to do something on my 914 who would have thought that it would get me motivated to brew some beer.

Summer is coming to an end (we got snow on the mountains last weekend) so that means time to get out the brewing stuff. I think I will make a nice porter, I like to put a little coffee in it for some added flavor and body. You definitely can't see through it.

I'll let you know how it turns out in about a month.

Posted by: nebreitling Sep 21 2004, 11:13 AM

bitburger??!

as far as i can remember (and i defer to you, great German one) that stuff is like the PBR of germany...

Posted by: fiid Sep 21 2004, 02:33 PM

Beer that needs hard alcohol added to it isn't beer IMHO. Corona is well - pretty lame by itself, and in a pinch can be used as a tonic substitute.

Some of my favorite beers:

Full Sail Amber
Brooklyn Brewery Ommegang
Red Hook Ale
Sierra Nevada
Chimay Blue and Red

Perhaps we could figure out say 5-10 frontrunner beers to be entered in a poll?

Posted by: balljoint Sep 21 2004, 02:52 PM

That's because the Bud you get in Canada is brewed here by Molson.

i'd say early alzheimer ...
it sure is not. it is, however, one of the larger brands with a lot of recognition, but certainly one of the better beers.


if you want cheap, buy "Hansa Pils". a can goes for around 50 cents.
we also call it "Punker-Beer" because the punks buy it by the pallet (24 cans) all the time.
in fact, we used to have "1000 Can" parties frequently...

Ever heard of a Radler (sp?) I can't remember if it is a brand or the name of the actual drink. Tasted pretty good on some long hot hikes in Germany many years ago. Low alcohol content, I think it was beer but mixed with something else.

Posted by: WoMBaT Sep 21 2004, 04:02 PM

Not a Corona fan...always thought it smelled like skunk. But I do like mexican ales. My favorite Mexican beer is Negra Modello...an outstanding Dark Mexican Ale.

Beer & Lemonade ...

quite tasty!

When I drank it was Fosters Lager, affectionately know as the 'oil can'
great for skiing in the moguls...

If the poll is unofficially started I nominate Keiths to be in the top ten. I don't think any one beer can truly win top spot as when you are dealing with taste it comes down to personal preference, any of the top ten could be the legitimate # 1. Be happy to buy the first one to any member who comes up this way!

This is known as "Shandy" in the UK. Great for sitting outside on a warm afternoon. (Also good for not getting drunk).

Posted by: tod914 Sep 22 2004, 09:16 AM

Maybe start several poles, then have a final pole being there are several catagories of beer???? Lagers, Pale Ales, Brown Ales, Red Ales, Stouts, Wheat Beer, Pilsners, etc. etc.

Posted by: Mark Henry Sep 22 2004, 09:42 AM

Tried a new beer....Lakeport Honey Lager...not too bad...and it's almost 10 bucks a box (24) cheaper than the name brands...Woo Hoo!!!

Some of us canucks are cheap a-holes

Posted by: mike_the_man Sep 22 2004, 11:53 AM

Here's something I picked up a while ago. If you have some cheap beer, pour an ounce or two of Bacardi Lemon into it. Gives you a nice lemon taste, and effectively doubles or triples the alcohol content of the beer. Drink in moderation, because it goes down fast, and things can get out of control pretty quickly (ask me how I know )

Oh ya, I'm a cheap a-hole. This was something friends and I would do in University to get drunk cheaply and quickly. I have much more refined tastes now.
