OT- Super Important Questions Regarding Saturday
August 28th, 2012 at 1:28 PM ^
Killians Red. That way you can turn the tide into urine.
August 28th, 2012 at 4:37 PM ^
Thread's over.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
It's okay. Nothing great to be honest and you can definitely do better. The only thing that really seperates it from the other Lagers on the market is it has the word Wolverine on it.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:46 PM ^
It's just like another lager. Equal to (or maybe slightly better than) a Budweiser. It's also fairly cheap, though ($6-$7 for a six pack).
August 28th, 2012 at 2:44 PM ^
:0) It's much better than Budweiser. No rice or fillers and it's made in Ann Arbor. And their drinking den is cool too.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
Root
August 28th, 2012 at 1:34 PM ^
You've got my vote!
August 28th, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
We will be drinking champagne Saturday night!
August 28th, 2012 at 1:31 PM ^
There you go, High Life is the answer.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:35 PM ^
Well you just won the thread
August 28th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
High Life is never the answer.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:09 PM ^
What are you talking about? I have a 6 pack of High Life in the fridge right now. It's the answer if the question is "Do you hate yourself tonight?" or "Are you broke as hell?"
August 28th, 2012 at 2:54 PM ^
ive had enough low paying restaurant jobs where high life was the answer for me as well. There are better ways to get a buzz on for cheap, in my opinion, but i can undertand the lure of the high life
August 28th, 2012 at 5:15 PM ^
And now I get your username.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:16 PM ^
if the answer is "what tastes like watered down pee and will make you feel horrible in the morning?"
my vote for your keg is newcastle. not too strong, not too heavy, and very very tasty
August 28th, 2012 at 2:47 PM ^
Newcastle doesn't hold a candle to nearly every other brown ale I can think of. And it's British. Are you too good for Amurrican burr?
p.s. High Life Lite is the answer if the question is, "What beer can I drink literally all day long and not get sloppy drunk?"
August 28th, 2012 at 2:31 PM ^
"What is never the answer?"
August 28th, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
kegerator of High Life + Oriental Express = WIN, just like our boys will do in Arlington.
I think I had High Life + Oriental Express take out 2 days a week. Neither of them in isolation is great, but you put them together and it's the perfect food-drink combination.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:33 PM ^
Bells 3rd coast. Supposedly 2-Hearted is being released by the keg per Bell's website.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:40 PM ^
a year ago. so methinks this is not new news.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:26 PM ^
It does indeed come in Keg form, and it is indeed glorious.
August 28th, 2012 at 4:07 PM ^
Sorry. I meant "mini keg", like the 5L ones of Oberon you can get.
A full keg of Two-Hearted, while indeed glorious, would be quite the handful for one person with a kegerator to manage.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:15 PM ^
Two hearted on tap? My liver had an orgasm.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
or in a tub of ice.
Use fridge for this:
August 28th, 2012 at 1:37 PM ^
I don't remember the name of the brewer, but the beer is called soft parade, a mellow way to start the day, then i would transition to Cowcatchers Red Ale ( Mt.Pleasant Brewing Company) Similar to killians and bass, a touch smoother finish, and finally to celebrate a wolverine victory, i would suggest Coal stoker Blackberry ( Mt.pleasant brewing company) think guiness and chambord for flavor context. Best of all all 3 are available at Meijer.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
If you're going Mt P, you have to go Trainwreck.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:18 PM ^
Soft Parade is from Shorts Brewing Co and is always a great choice. I think its around 8% abv so its one to be careful with the wife/gf
August 28th, 2012 at 2:20 PM ^
Beat me to the punch!
August 28th, 2012 at 10:05 PM ^
Your username is phenomenal. That's all.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:20 PM ^
I believe Short's brews the Soft Parade.

August 28th, 2012 at 2:28 PM ^
Shorts Soft Parade. And while it may taste mellow, it's actually about an 8% beer if I recall correctly.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:03 PM ^
I've seen it listed as high as 9% and as low as 5%. So, uh, yeah. Take that for what you will.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:36 PM ^
You sir, sound like my kind of beer drinker. Ive enjoyed them all except for the coal stoker. It sounds fantastic though.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:42 PM ^
Honestly if you're planning on putting down a keg in an afternoon and evening of football, go for something light and with a slightly lower than average alcohol content. Give yourself a chance of remaining upright and functional until the PAC12 games wrap up. Pilsner Urquell is my favorite for marathon drinking. Have some heavier beer and/or liquor on hand if desired, but keep the keg something easy to push your way through.
Plus that way the leftover booze will be easy to kill off with light evening drinking during the week. I tend to get PBR kegs these days, good price point, tastes pretty good, and you can just blow through it without turning yourself in a puking mess.
For anyone buying cans, Trader Joes also now has their own lager at 5% ABV and 58 cents per can. It's shockingly good and perfect for when you need a cooler full of cans for your party.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:47 PM ^
All day IPA is my new favorite session beer. That or oberon
August 28th, 2012 at 10:49 PM ^
All Day is my favorite at the moment. Been loving it all summer. A keg of this would not last long.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:47 PM ^
Fat Tire

August 28th, 2012 at 1:58 PM ^
I like where your heads at. This excites me every year way more than Oberon.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:49 PM ^
Bought a 12-pack as part of my Hurrican Isaac prepardness kit
August 28th, 2012 at 1:54 PM ^
My bar down the street has it on tap.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:57 PM ^
I have been drinking Founders Pale Ale lately and it's easy to drink and about 5%. Love it.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:59 PM ^
My buddy (yea I know you're going to read this Mitch) had that at his wedding a few weeks ago, SO AWESOME.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:02 PM ^
Hoegaarden wouldn't be a bad choice, if possible. It is 4.9% APV, as I recall, which isn't terribly high. If you don't mind unfiltered beers or beers with a citrus background similar to Blue Moon, this is a pretty good selection.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:08 PM ^
Too OT for opening week. However, I can't resist and will contribute anyways. Oberon. Get it while the gettings good, seeing as it'll only be available for maybe a few more weeks.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:13 PM ^
I don't know why. Pretty sure you can get it in a pony keg, though.
August 28th, 2012 at 2:31 PM ^
And tastes better..
