POOKIE'S BEER

salsalady · Jun 19, 2015

Hey, I just found this beer at the corner market today. Who knew THP was so popular that a local brewery made a beer in honor of Pookie?

Here's to you, Boss!

Man, this Bavarian style beer is inspiring me to make a bavarian mustard bbq sauce!

Oh...wait......someone's already got that....... :lol:

Bacchus grabs slingshot and starts flanging unripe grapes towards Washington.

Meh, I don't have a problem with cans as long as its good beer (kegs aka tap beer comes from a can). Its when it starts coming in plastic bottles that I will be fugging dis custard.

Cans are better than glass. They block light and O2 completely.

Plastic bottles are not happening because plastic diffuses too much O2 ...

It would oxidize the beer and reduce the shelf-life too drastically for distribution timelines ... I think you are safe from that.

Nah. It's not the can, it's the beer in it and/or how it was handled ...

Pick-up some Oskar Blues =)

Cans are the best vessel for beer ... well, next to kegs!

Beer does come in plastic bottles. I've seen Miller at concert venues where no glass is allowed.

You can buy Bud here in amber plastic PET's to take to the beach ...

I don't consider light lager to be worth drinking, though ... I'll have Negra Modelo, or in a pinch, Corona before those ...

baseball stadiums here serve miller in plastic bottles. I'd never touch that swill though. No matter the form of packaging.

I know, I know, but Highlife was my gateway beer. I'd still drink one on a hot day if someone offered. Not going out and buying it though. I just scored some more Sierra Nevada Harvest series :beer:

to keep me lubed while tending the pit wit some babybacks.

My real-life gateway beer was Cigar City Marshall Zhukov stout ... as I didn't drink beer most of my life.

It's kind of terrible though, too, to have found CCB MZ, because almost nothing compares to it ...

Carry On~~~~!
