Who the FUCK is drinking natty light? Whoever is doing this needs to leave the hall immediately.
 
Yeah, terrible shit.

I'm drinking Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Cythraul would approve of this brew, as they follow the nearly 500-year-old Bavarian Purity Law. Not amazing, but a solid beer.

Right on. Is that an easily accessible beer? I'd like to give it a try.
 
It comes out of Cleveland, so it's relatively easy to find here. I don't know how many midwestern beers you have access to. A good substitute would be the Goose Island beers, which are on the whole very good. They make a kick-ass IPA and Oatmeal Stout.

Check out beeradvocate.com, if you don't know that site already. It's great, although the reviews are very skewed towards IPAs and Belgian beers, and pilsners and lagers tend to not score as well.

Speaking of Belgian beers, I had Leffe recently, which was a nice beer, but I'm sure someone else does the style better.
 
I had a Belgian beer once. It was some kind of beer that they only brew once a year and I guess they put a whole bunch really weird gross crap in it. I don't remember what it was called but I do remember that I was not impressed.
 
Ir's pretty obvious that the shit is going to hit the fan between Tony and Phil and it will probably end with Tony being killed or arrested. They already seem to be working on AJ getting into serious crime. This season of The Soptanos has been ok, at best. Shitty way for the show to go out, if you ask me.

Now, Lost, on the other hand, is just finishing up a fucking great season. The first half was pretty blah, but it was also pretty necessary. The second half has been fucking great (except for the Nikki and Paulo episode... which was still pretty cool). I just hope Locke doesn't die. He's by far the best character in the whole show.

:puke: I'm sorry, I just threw up.

long story....

I suggest you give them another try at some point or another. I think the dark ones are better. They are far more complex than other beers. You'll find pepper, clove, apple, white grape...a lot of stuff depending on the beer, some really earthy flavors. They tend to be overproof as well, ranging from 6-10% abv. Some of them seem almost like wines.

I've yet to fully delve into the style due to the high price per bottle, but in comparison to wine it's a bargain, as even the top shelf ones don't really break $12. A good one far exceeds a wine at that price range.
 
Hey fellas I'm gonna take a drink of my beer real quick so I might not be able to post for a few seconds but I'll come socialize with you guys later. Peace out.
