Ahhh... Keystone. There's no knocking an inexpensive beer... they all have their place. :sips Coors Light: Busch Light 16 ozers are considered a staple in most of my circles of homebrewers. That's how we roll... some(most)times
There are some many wrong statements there I just don't know where to start. :lol:
 
It's ok, IGG is the sort who'd rather spend $10 on two fancy beers than drink all weekend with it. ;)

Two beers will last about 15 minutes around here...

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a quality beer. But, I just can't afford it.
 
I do both. I have a few beer snob beers and also usually have some cheap canned stuff for when I just want quantity.

As one of the OS1's in my division calls them..."wardroom beers" :lol: I too mix it up with both nice beers and filler beers.

Wearing my Stone Ruination tshirt. :D The front breast says "I'm very bitter. And I like it!" Then on the back is a huge print of the gold and green label on the bottle. Drinking rum and coke though..
 
Iced PBR w/ Sriracha ATM...:)

Ya'll think im loco, but I usually drink my lager's with ice.

Old guy in a bar I went to always ordered a pint of ice and a Miller.

I was like WTF? He said simply it's colder that way..if the ice melts..yer drinking too slow. ;)

Smart 'ol gaffer..
 
Heh, ya..

Just chuck a squirt in the pint and stir. ;)

It's fun. Sorta liek a Chilehead Redbeer.

Better than the time I tried using a naga ssauce in it...owtch!
 
To me the "filler" beers are Mexican and German these days. Tecate, Spatten, Warstiener, Bittbuger, Dos Equis, Sol, etc.

I'm old and picky.

So were they any good?
HEhehe, was waiting for you to ask. :hell: Here was the review I posted about 2 years ago (before I was a complete beer snob):

"Arrogant Bastard Ale has, without a doubt, a huge cult following (known famously as “The Worthy”). Stone Brewing Company ended up making a deal with Carlsbad Gourmet to produce their new line of beer based hot sauce products. Baring the fact that I’m a heavy beer drinker and chili pepper consumer in mind, I ended up grabbing the whole run at the 2007 Fiery Foods Show. That and the fact that you really can’t pass up the high quality graphic design job they did on both the bottles and packaging.


Arrogant Bastard Ale Jalapeno Heat Ingredients: Water, Arrogant Bastard Ale, tomato paste, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, evaporated cane juice, salt, garlic powder, crushed Red Peppers, capsicum, Jalapeno pepper powder, soybean oil, xanathan gum.

Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale Chipotle Ingredients: Water Oaked, Arrogant Bastard Ale, tomato paste, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, evaporated cane juice, salt, garlic powder, crushed Red Peppers, capsicum, Chipotle pepper powder, soybean oil, xanathan gum.

Double Burn Habanero Double Bastard Ale Ingredients: Water, Double Bastard Ale, tomato paste, vinegar, honey, lemon juice, evaporated cane juice, salt, garlic powder, crushed Red Peppers, capsicum, Habanero pepper powder, soybean oil, xanathan gum.

Right after busting out my glasses to read the small font size that their ingredients were written in, I was slightly disheartened. There is very little variance in the sauces. Each beer has a different taste which warrants at least some shifting of ingredients to jive with the beer.

After tasting the Jalapeno Heat, I will say there are some complex flavors here. Right off the bat you are handed a large hit of sweet. First off is the evaporated cane juice then the honey which ends up carrying through to the rest of the ingredients (next up being the vinegar). I can definitely taste the Arrogant Bastard Ale but it does not have the usual bitter taste that I’ve come to associated with that beer. This is most likely due to the honey and cane juice overpowering that part of the beer flavor. The tomatoes come in pretty much last but is preceded by the Jalapenos. The heat is nominal having a slight build and then a quick die off, something that I’ve come to expect with Jalapeno sauces.

Taste: 6, Heat: 3

Next up is the Chipotle Hot Sauce. Unfortunately, I have the exact same words to say about this as the Jalapeno Heat, so I’ll just focus on what’s different. There is a very slight hint of smoky flavor derived from the Chipotle. It’s actually so slight that I can barely detect it especially when combined with food. That flavor is completely overpowered by flavor of whatever yooju put it one that it is lost. This one is also a little bitterer taste than the last with a more easily recognized ale flavor. Although, it does pair nicely with the sweet taste and the hint of Chipotle. The heat is just a little bit more in this one as well.

Taste: 6, Heat: 4

Finally is the Double Burn Habanero. Like before, basically the same sauce as the others but with a huge, heavy ale flavor. This is really bitter and is the least favorite of the bunch because of that. Then again, if you are a fan of this beer then I would suggest that you pick this sauce up because it’s such a up front flavor it’ll be easy to pick out. Unlike the others, the pepper flavor is much more detectable with the slightly fruity taste of habanero complimenting the honey.

Taste: 4, Heat: 4.5683

Well, there you have it, I may not be “worthy” but two out of three of these sauces are quite enjoyable. They aren’t the best, but they do have their place in the hot sauce world (for both beer and chili fans). I mainly found myself using these sauces very heavily on Asian quinines because the overall sweetness of the sauce pairs well."

PBR in a goblet...Mwahaaahahahahaahahaa!

I have been turned on to a new "good beer" spot recently and have been having some really good while slightly overpriced beer. I've found that I am really enjoying a new style for me - Belgian IPAs the best was called Urthel Hop-It.
 
Yeah, that's a funny on the goblet. I drink PBR now and then, seems like I always feel like ass the next day though.

Handy reviews up there. Saves me the trial and error. Imaguitargod- I knew you lived up in LA at some point- ever venture down to Stones Brewery while you were in Socal? Thinkin' about going sometime soon.
