All the free beer you can drink in the Delta Sky Club. Many more reasons to be happy with a #1 bball squad than worried.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
I didn't realize we had a pilot on the board.

Flattered. And by flattered, I mean flattered/creeped out/aroused.
January 26th, 2013 at 11:55 AM ^
I'm brimming with embarrassment. Was a little lickered up, have zero idea of what context that was meant.
Hell, maybe I do love you. Call me I guess?
January 25th, 2013 at 7:33 PM ^
Hopslam.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
One of my friends is a Bell's rep and introduced me to this a year or so ago. His honest opinion is that it's not a great beer, but one that is in such high demand due to its unique nature. It's more of a "freak show" beer -- his words, not mine. I like a small glass or so before moving on to other things, but I definitely could not drink that all night long.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:53 PM ^
Your Bell's rep is completely crazy. Hopslam is not just a great beer, I'd say it is widely respected as one of the best double IPAs out there. For those of us obsessed with IPAs, Hopslam is incredible, not just some rare beer that is released once a year.
January 25th, 2013 at 9:01 PM ^
Having a Hopslam now. It's the greatest thing on earth except better than that actually.
January 25th, 2013 at 10:19 PM ^
He likes it. And a lot. But he thinks it's a very good beer -- not great. He might be speaking from personal taste more than anything else. Anyway, he introduced it to me because he knew I really, really enjoyed the hoppy beers...and it don't get much hoppier than this!
January 25th, 2013 at 7:38 PM ^
Welfare beer
January 25th, 2013 at 7:43 PM ^
I guess you've never been broke enough the drink this. They sell it in Wisconsin, something like 7 dollars for a 30 case.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
I have heard rumors of generic beer, but I didn't think they existed. It's the Big Foot of beer drinking. Have you actually had one? Please tell me they taste as bad as I imagine. I so want one.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:57 PM ^
My Dad has this random cousin way up in Eagle River, we go every year to go hang out on this giant redneck raft that they build. They drink Beer, and Beer Light.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:07 PM ^
The major area grocery chain, Kroger, many years ago, used to have its own brand designated with bright yellow packaging, and the name of the product displayed in big, black letters. So, their "beer" was literally a yellow can, with "BEER" stamped in huge letters on it. And that's it. Same with their multitude of other products.
They've since made their own brand much more appealing to the eye, but I have to admit...I kinda miss those generic yellow products. I'd scoop up that generic beer immediately if I ever saw it again.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:15 PM ^
They have Beer Light too? Now I have to drive to Wisconsin and buy a case of Beer and Beer Light.
Gotta love beer so awful it's good.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
If it was a purely economic decision I'd go to WalMart for 30 of these:

I have family visiting from Michigan. We'll be going to an upscale restaurant in about 15 and since I just purchased a Tigers cap I'll be wearing that with jeans and my Nikes while everyone else wears dresses and suits. I march to the beat of my own drum, yo. I don't drink so I guess I'll be having water.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:41 PM ^
Harpoon IPA. Ever since i tried to articulate why i didn't like IPA's, i realized I actually like them. I think IPAs can taste like grapefruit.
Girlfriend is drinking Chimay, and yes she's real.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:43 PM ^
Harpoon IPA is one of my favorite beers. I'm the same way, I basically all-of-a-sudden started drinking IPAs and now I love them.
Sacred Cow IPA from Arbor Brewing Company for me tonight.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:56 PM ^
Harpoon is pretty solid, I'm staffed out in boston during the week, so got some exposure to it that way. Cheers
January 25th, 2013 at 10:38 PM ^
I was never big on IPAs, but when Lagunitas announced they would open a brewery in Chicago, I decided to check out their beer. Guy at Binny's recommended their IPA and I decided I like it. Since then, I've enjoyed Harpoon, Racer 5, and many others. Scored me some Hopslam last week, so tonight is a choice between Hopslam, Racer 5, or Two Hearted. Choices, choices, choices....
Also, I'd like to thank the MGoCommunity for all the beer recommendations on the blog. I've tried many beers mentioned in these drinking threads. Founders Dirty Bastard turned out to be a great recommendation. So many beers, so little time. However, I don't think I'm going out of my way to find generic beer in Wisconsin.

Im drinking whatever Biff Poggi is drinking.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:55 PM ^
I hear that.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
Corona, 'cause that's what's in the apartment and there's no way I'm going to the store tonight.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:51 PM ^
A nice local (Cincinnati) beer...
Playing a little Walking Dead on PS3 tonight -- does anyone else have this game? The story is fairly engrossing, to say the least.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
Is killer. Played through once and will start again soon. Very good story.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:09 PM ^
...and it sure seems to me that the replay value is fairly high, too. I'm already wanting to rewind and try different responses & actions already. I'm not going to spoil for anyone, but I'm just in episode 2, at the "dinner scene." Yeah...
January 25th, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
It is the first game that I genuinely feel decisions change could make the end game totally different. I played through trying to be the "nice guy" I can easily see the game having 2 or 3 totally different paths.
January 25th, 2013 at 10:20 PM ^
I'm really hugging the fence a lot on my first playthrough. I already want to go back and just be definitive and bad ass. At least I speared one of the St. John brothers. ;-)
January 25th, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
Haven't tried the winter but I love their blonde and their amber. IPA is solid too.
January 25th, 2013 at 10:17 PM ^
Ever had Rivertown (anything)? Also, a Cincy-area brewery. Not a bad selection there, either.
January 25th, 2013 at 11:41 PM ^
So, yeah, I've had some Rivertown. Pretty solid stuff. I like their Helles and their Hopbomber. I thought the Roebling Porter was good, and I had one that I thought was terrible. Maybe the WIt? Can't remember. Definitely like the Mt. Carmel offerings better than Rivertown, though.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:52 PM ^
There, I said it. Someone pass me something that will help me not remember anything in the morning.
January 25th, 2013 at 7:55 PM ^
Trios Pistoles Ale from Unibroue
January 25th, 2013 at 7:57 PM ^
I just opened a bottle of 1968 j&b scotch that my buddy gave me. I also have some hopslam and goose island Matilda.
January 25th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
Finished the last Founders Centential IPA from the six pack I got. Will probably run down to Stadium Market to go beer shopping in a bit.
