What do you guys know about some National Bohemian, aka Natty Boh?

Brewed in the land of Pleasant Living (well, it used to be, anyway).

for cheap beer in a can: Dale's Pale Ale. It's very, very good, but still cheap and in a can.

OLD STYLIN.

Unfortunately this is a regional brew so most people outside of the mid west have never had the splendid opportunity to taste this delightful beverage. It goes great with a Vienna Beef dog.

PBR, High Life, Rainier are the hipster beers of choice in Seattle...

I had Old Style once at Wrigley Field - never again...

never had this, how do you call it...Old Style. me thinks the beer elite in the bay area blocked the shipment as it crossed over the central valley. they can drink the piss out of some cheap beer over there though...damn farmers.

i do appreciate the high life i must say.

and like me pops always told me...

better to be the champagne of beers, than the beer of champagne!

or was it...

booze a fever, starve a cold...

i can't ever remember.

my next door neighbors brewed 5 gallons of brown ale a couple of weeks ago..then last week they brewed another 5 gallon batch, but as they were cooling down the brew...they dropped the thermoter on the ground, breaking it...so they had to settle for another piece o' shit thermometer. that thermometer broke while in the liquid and contaminated the brew. they had to throw away that batch, which took 5 hours to prepare...

Should I mention that I dumped about 14 gallons of PBR down my kitchen drain earlier this week? No way I was going to carry that keg back to the liquor store 3/4 full.

Some men-friends of mine from college used to drink a beer called "Schlitz". This was perhaps the most disgusting beer I have ever tasted. I think they said it was great just for the comedic factor, and because "Schlitz" is fun to say. I'm pretty sure it can also be used as a verb.

WonderK - the rule of thumb is that any macro beer that starts with an "S" is shitty...

Schlitz, Stroh's, etc...

at one time schlitz had something like 33 percent of the market. but with a name like schlitz it has to be good.

I said macro beer and should've further stipulated American Macro Beers that start with an 's' are shitty...

there are all these old taverns around Wicker Park, Near West side that have Schlitz Logo built into the brick - I guess they used to finance the Bar's construction in return for promotion - they still exist I'll try to get a pic.

And its still decent beer

You know I don't think we've got PBR in Lubbock. I know what you're talking about, but to be honest I thought you were talking about the Professional Bullriders' Association. I thought I had another West Texas redneck on here.

I'd say PBR, although I'd imagine it would be more satisfying to spray lysol in a glass of water and drink it. (I actually saw some Indians doing this in front of a gas station in the Four Corners area.)

Sweet Jesus. the BEAST. The only beer known to man that's worse than Natty. *shivers*

I'm so far from hip, it's not even funny. I just find Stella as it's served in LA; to be pretty bougie.

(but dun worry, I'll try to refrain from anti-Stella remarks on Monday (at least for the first couple of beers))

Schlitz is malt liquor, not beer, no?

Stroh's is gross too!

The Scottish refer to Stella as "wife-beater" for real reasons, reportedly.

I cant believe anyone with human being tasting buds would prefer old style to PBR

its been scientifically proven that PBR is 109% greater than Old Style... Doctors have recomended it 6 to 1, dentists even more, 13 to 1, and last but not least, its kid tested AND mother approved. find that in another beer... i dare you.

plus its just such a classy logo.
i think ill have myself one as soon as i leave the office
