I drank gallons upon gallons of this stuff in college. It is not a good beer. It is, on the other hand, a very cheap passable beer.

In our youthful idealism (and penury), we were drawn to the motto: "From the land of pleasant living." You need that kind of sunny sentiment when you're getting shit-faced on horse piss beer in a basement apartment that looks like it should have a chalk outline of a body on the floor.

It used to be brewed in Baltimore and that's a "reference" to the Chesapeake Bay.

Yeah, the stuff is horse piss, but better than most things currently brewed by Pabst.

Goose Island has a new beer called Matilda. Watch her, or she'll fuck you up.

It tastes as good as it looks:

We drank a lot of this in college. It was $10 for a case of 24 bottles.



We would always get limes for it too because it changed the taste for the better. When the lime went in sometimes the beer foamed back out of the bottle.

We called this "The Lion's Roar".

At the behest of Bad Comrade and a couple others, I finally tried Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark. I like it a lot.

Since I liked it, I decided to try the Summer Shandy, which I am loving. I don't usually go for anything lighter-colored than amber, but this is refreshing.


Does anybody else think the people on ratebeer.com are complete toolboxes?

complete toolboxes? yeah.

though in the spirit of full disclosure, i'm a pretty active member of beeradvocate.com, and there's a bit of a rivalry between the two sites.

Had some Stone Ruination IPA my last night in Milwaukee.
Pretty good, but way expensive.

a gorgeous beer. one of my favorites. in my eyes, stone can really do no wrong. everything they touch is pure gold.

was it really that expensive? i think it retails here (grand rapids, MI) in a 22oz bottle for between four and five dollars, which is what people pay on a regular basis for 16oz's of miller lite at a million bars across the nation.
