Drink Dos Equis! You'll be able to parallel park a train. Cuba will import cigars from you. Mosquitos won't bite you - out of respect.

My friend owns a packie in Springfield ... I requested 2 cases of Iron Maiden ESB 6 weeks ago. He just told me that the Springfield Distributor will receive 100 cases this week, but don't expect to see any! The distributor has a current back log of 3000 cases!!!
 
Some excellent beers here in Minnesota not sold anywhere else.

Surly Furious (Brooklyn Park). This brewery has a cult like following.

Fulton Sweet Chiild of Vine. (Minneapolis)
 
It's clear to me that if you're a beer drinker, that we live in the golden age. Can't believe that no one has mentioned Anchor Steam. Balantine Ale is great but some times is hard to find. The Great Lakes (Cleveland) IPA is excellent. Seneca pale ale is great. So many good beers and so little time.

Mich Golden Light.

I know a bunch of people from Minnesota and Wisconsin and they always bring back cases of that stuff if they're travelling by car.

Gotta agree with Chin on the Hacker Pschorr ... and Spaten Oktoberfest a close second. For a local flavor I've been hooked on the Hartford Steam Nurse lately.

And I also agree on the domestic light theory ... nothing wrong with and ice cold Coor's light after mowing the lawn in 95 degree heat!

Whenever I'm in Hartford, I too prefer a Nurse to Steam things up ;)
But really I prefer Guinness, Quality over Quantity!
 
Oh hooray you guys get to have that overrated crap too.

It falls into that same category as Stella/Heineken/Etc., it's everywhere but it's not Bud/Miller/Coors so therefore it has to be good! But it's not. It's crap.
 
Here's one from the Rockies.

Avery, from Colorado, sent us pretty much everything from its playlist. Two of my favorites- duganA Double IPA — strange spelling and all — and White Rascal Witbier. As witbier doesn’t get nearly the face time as hoppy ale does, let’s go ahead and check this one out a little more. A thoroughly drinkable wheat ale, it’s a pretty shade of cloudy straw yellow with an almost meringue-like head. Classic to the style, its scents and flavors bring loads of orange peel, coriander, hay and white pepper, plus a dash of saltine cracker. A creamy body with ample carbonation fizz, Rascal is one of those beers you pine for on a hot day but drinks great year-round.

Not sure I'd call it overrated. As far as cheap beer it's not bad at all. If you're comparing it to a lot of craft beers or more expensive brands then yeah, it doesn't stand up, but it's two different categories altogether.

Heck no. I only know one guy who drinks the stuff. He's some old gray-beard dude. Always hanging on to our good times and bringing us down. We call him buzz kill.
 
In MA you're probably looking at it being the same price as a Brooklyn Lager or a Sam Adams Lager.

And it's nowhere close to either of those, and I'm not calling either one of those top level beers.

If it's the same price as those, then yeah, it's not worth it. I get it in NY where it's significantly cheaper.

Probably inappropriate, so I will apologize in advance.

Bill Maher had some hilarious commentary about the French elections a few years ago (when Nicolas Sarkozy and Segolene Royal went up against one another).

Now, last week, France had an election, and people over there approach an election differently. They vote. Eighty-five percent of them turned out. You couldn't get 85% of Americans to get off the couch if there was an election between "Tits" and "Bigger Tits," and they were handing out free samples!

I was reminded of this when I clicked on the link above. :-)

Don't bother messaging me; I am sorry* already.

Free beer? Bacon? Geez, I would be grateful to get either a beer or an ice cream for four bucks at the XL Center. Or seat-backs at Gampel.

There are always some purist WCBB folks who want to believe that 'if you build it, they will come' and certainly a program like Uconn followed that mode over 10 years from the 80s to 90s, but that takes time, a great coach, and some luck. Marketing is a huge part of building (and maintaining) an audience for any sport - just ask the NFL and their big money spends to enhance the game day experience to keep fans in the stadium and not at home on the couch.
So ... I like anything teams try to up the attendance and wish more teams and administrations would do the same. And I think the proposed plan to created semi-permanent sites for the NCAA regionals and finals is also a great idea - get cities and arenas to commit longer term and put their marketing departments to work building a 'brand' over more than a single weekend once every five or ten years.
 
Plenty of chatter here through the years with Dogfish Head Brewing.

Here's one that seems well-matched for the winter season.

http://www.pnj.com/article/20131225...den-Dogfish-Head-has-a-use-for-that-pear-tree

Now, Dogfish Head brings us its Piercing Pils. Czechoslovakian pilsner has always been a bright, spicy, grassy, floral beer. The noble hop varietals used for this style are peppery and herbal, while bready malt rounds it out. Dogfish owner and brewmaster Sam Calagione and his crew decided to throw a little sweetness in there for an interesting display of flavor balance.

CD, since going to the Czech Rep. back in 05, I have loved this style. I was hesitant when I heard about the pear tea used in it. After trying this beer last week, I have to say it is fantastic. No one should be worried about the addition of pear. It is ever so slight and gives just a touch of a sweet finish, but you still get the awesome crispness of a Czech Pilsner. Definitely glad I tried this one and encourage all those that like this style to do the same. Cheers!
 
When in Brazil drink Antartica. Its the one with the penguins. One of the many reasons I enjoy Rio de Janeiro. That is all.
