aw man, you definitely can’t serve the 1-1-1 on the rocks! ice will kill any tiny little hint of gin you’ve allowed yourself. (also, sure, I’ll drink that all day) Read more

Oh for sure. Just the fact that they need to address it is big. Read more

Bud Light is the best beer at paying In-Bev PR salaries, which may or may not translate into being the objectively best tasting (I haven’t had a Bud Light in a while, so I may be misremembering, but my hunch is that it is not, in fact, the best beer. Never tried Snow.) Read more

Glad to hear it, another one to add to the list. Read more

Thanks, I expressed the water thing sloppily and have updated it. As for Deep Ellum, I do hear good things about it (and nothing else from or in Dallas, though I admit I’ve never been). Read more

I think that’s Weyerbacher. I’ve never had it, though. The only super-strong beer I’ve ever had that actually tastes like beer is Dogfish Head 120, which is around 20 percent. It tastes insane and boozy for sure, but in a beer-like way. Read more

I’ll take it. I’m no head-up-my-ass grad school elitist, i’m just a guy who tells stories about beer. take it or leave it, that’s what’s on offer. Read more

You did not at all have to! You have free will that would have allowed you to jump ship at any time. Or you could have read the fuckin’ label on the big picture at the top of the post. Couple different options there, captain. Read more

Depends how soon I get the Haus going. I think Deadspin’s gonna run for president of FIFA, no telling how that could affect the budget. I guess you’ll know how corrupt we are if it turns into the Drunkspin Beer Garden Brought To You By Heineken. Read more

I haven’t had that one, but I imagine kolsch would be a style Victory would do very well. Read more

Yeah, the article in the Tribune actually mentioned a coffee expert who said the same thing applies in his field (at the other end of the temp spectrum, as you note). To be fair, I think the “coldest beer in town” thing is more vestigial than an intentional way to work around faulty beer—a generation or two ago you… Read more

No man, it’s entirely beer, I just mean the additional flavors add a ton. It’d be like saying that Stone Enjoy By is “80 percent hops, the rest beer.” Read more

shit, i apologize for misconstruing your comment. If you meant subway has changed things up in reaction to shitty public response, then good for them, and thank you for pointing it out. I’m still not certain what happened, but in case I was an asshole: Sorry for being an asshole. Read more

When people start with “Wrong.” I tend not to read the rest. I hope you didn’t waste a really good point! (Dissent is fine, it’s the aggressive/combative part that turns me off.) Read more

Woolley is a genius (no speculation on whether he’s ever done drugs). Read more

Yeah, I was wondering what that was all about. I honestly have no idea how commenting works, but this bodes ill for my application to join the Gawker union :( Read more

Yeah, I go to the one on Memorial Drive, which is only licensed for beer and wine. The one in Brookline sells hard liquor, but I’ve never been. And I guess Peabody is the only other one in the state, because I’m pretty sure a chain is only allowed to hold 3 licenses (that could have changed/I could have hallucinated… Read more

Weird stat line: 16.2 innings over 17 appearances including 5 starts? Normally I’d just assume the graphic was wrong, but Ben Ancheff, hero, makes me believe anything is possible. Read more

I’ll have to look for some La Cumbre and Marble, I’ve never had a New Mexican beer (that I can recall) so those seem as good as any others as a starting point. Thanks for the tip. Read more

Seems like their names are as good as their beers! I tried Bender and Hell, too, both of which were very good. Read more
