I used to work with healthfusion - yes, I am a nerd - and my colleagues and I have Friday night sessions when we have a bottles of Sam Adams in one hand and a cue stick in another. Sometimes it will be coors or Pabst too - not so nerdy now, eh?
About the “nerd” part - I used to be teased by friends from college that I am so nerdy along with people I worked with - little did they know
I don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned Sam Adams in this topic. I am obviously a fan. We went with some friends and it’s BYOB. I was the only one drinking Sam Adams and everyone else had Corona. Some also mixed up, well not really mixed up but poured Margarita. They got it from Costco and it was actually good. On the other hand, my Sam and I had a good night.
A recent discovery reveals one of the reasons why we Germans drink so much beer – blue eyes.
From an article in The Daily Mail –
“When psychologists at Georgia State University in Atlanta surveyed more than 12,000 men and women, they found those with light eyes consumed significantly more alcohol than those with dark eyes. The reason brown-eyed people may drink less - and also be less likely to be alcoholics - is because they need less alcohol to become intoxicated.”
The Daily Mail article asserts a correlation between eye color and all sorts of personal characteristics, talents, habits, and medical conditions. Here’s a LINK to the article.
I am 21 years old, so I’ve just started my adventures into beer drinking. Developing my own tastes, beyond whatever dad bought that I would have whilst still underage. Miller High Life was his go to.
I find myself generally leaning towards IPAs - Voodoo Ranger Imperial, Two Hearted Ale, and any Founders IPA are my current go tos. Stouts and scotch ales are commonly consumed as well - in the winter I bought a 4-pack of Founders Backwoods Bastard, and it’s one of my favorites for a cold evening.
I live in a small town in redneckville in the midwest, and and common idea people have about beer consumed in a small town is true - most of the people here are buying cases of Keystone Light, Bud Light, etc… but, that leaves plenty of the unique stuff for me on the shelves.
Budweiser used to have a slogan — When you say “Budweiser”, you’ve said it all.
That was back in the days of black-and-white t.v., before Bud Lite was introduced.
Probably before your time.
Anyway, friends of mine reworded that slogan — When you say Butt Wiper, you’ve said it all.
