Favorite Style of Beer

[Krilons Resa]

Doomcifer, where do you get all your beers? My beer store in NY will only get the usual imports, or local brews. So for example, where can I buy some Dark Lord?

Good luck getting Darklord. It is released one day a year and sold out. Limit of like 7 bottles per person. A friend of mine, who owns a liquor store, is flying out on that day and picking me up one. I have had it once and it is sublime.

There are a few stores around where I live but I mainly go to two of them. One being his store, which is THE best store in Rhode ISland bar none, featuring over 600 different beers. Its called Nikki's Liquors, google it...he has a site. And Yankees Liquors in Attelboro, MA which is only 10 minutes from me as well. I am, fortunately, blessed with a great area for great beer. Now if we can only get Russian River and Bell's over here. A distributor I know told me he is working on a lot of stuff which I cannot repeat right now but its gonna rule for RI.

I did a trade a few weeks back for Bell's Expedition Stout, Two Hearted Ale, and Hopslam...al were great, espcially the Two Hearted. There isnt that much not available around here actually besides like Bell's, RR, Alaskan Brewing Co., Stoudts, etc...we used to have Thee Floyds here in RI butthey started having problems keeping up with demands and their brewmaster left. Dreadnaught isnt at all what it used to be.

Ali, go to beeradvocate.com and search for stores around you in the "beerfly" section. Thats your best bet to locate a good store in your area, and with reviews.

Actually, Gugs has been on BA starting a couple months back, LOL. He is posting like a mofo over there now and doing reviews. He told me he is building up and incredible collection and doing a bunch of trades. LOL, that fucker is one of the most obsessive bastards I have ever met.

I havent done any reviews in a while but if you search for doomcifer over there, you can check em out.

[Krilons Resa]

And you sir, are just a genius.

Oh, btw, if you fuckers in NY want, in July, THE greatest Beer Festival in USA is going on @ Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown. I 'm going up with a few beerguys and am meeting Gugs there too.

 

[dorian gray]

Tell gugs I said hi.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I tell ya what....I'll have him shit in some passed out drunk guys mouth for ya.

 

[JayKeeley]

holy macaroni, if you guys drink this much beer, aren't you fat?!!

 

[dorian gray]

Another good question. Let me add: do you have any money left over at the end of the month?

 

[Krilons Resa]

moderation my friend...and not drinking to get drunk.

but yes, many do have big beer bellies lol.

I actually have given up beer for a while, except for the few Ill have every other weekend. I am now back on the road to physical excellence.

I stopped drinking because of the cost. And I'm far from poor - just cheap. The other night I had a couple shots of Knob Creek at a restaurant. They were$8 each. I woulda just drank a bottle in the parking lot for that kinda price.

 

[JayKeeley]

you're right, moderation is key, and I suppose it has to be when it's a 'rare' beer, or something quite expensive. Otherwise you're guzzling good beer like it's a crappy newcastle brown ale or something.

I wouldnt mind going through life in a constant state of mild inebriation - that pleasant level right after "buzz" but before "blasted". Is that possible?

 

[MFJ]

that would be cool. i'm pretty much under the influence of cannabinoids 100% of the time, so i can assure you that its possible.

 

[JayKeeley]

is this preventing you from making more Noltem music?!

Dammit, don't be propagating the silly "beer makes you fat" myth! Most beers have fewer calories than a Pepsi, so as long as you simply have a beer with your meal instead of a Pepsi, you'll come out just fine. Of course, a fat porter or 8% Belgian would be an exception, but even that wouldn't make a big impact on someone's overall diet.

I just hate to see people avoid drinking good beer because they're stupid or misinformed. So next time you see someone drinking a light beer (which usually has at least 75% of the calories of the regular version), laugh at them, and then punch them in their fat stomach.

I was at a wedding in Greece once, and the reception started out with a couple quick shots of ouzo (yikes!) which brought you immediately to that perfect point. Then for the next 5 hours, there were these pitchers of wine that you would use as 'booster shots' to keep you balanced right at that level. It was the most perfectest drinking experience of my life.

So yeah, if you're willing to wake up with a couple shots of ouzo every morning (it can double as a mouthwash), then your goal is certainly within reach.

This wouldnt be so bad either. Although, I bet it's alot more expensive than drinking.

Calories are calories, and taking in eight hundred extra a day on beer will add up. Unless you're one of them bastards with ridiculous metabolisms. And then I have to hate you on principle. My old anatomy instructor said that abdominal distension ala beer gut is due to A, not utilizing the abs in a way to maintain fitness combined with B, overinflation of the stomach (drinking a shitload of beer for example) from being over-filled. Age plays a factor too, but largely because of the other two. Then again, she could have been full of shit, but it seemed to make sense.
