Re: TRP: It's Nut-Cuttin' Time

Right now I'm drinking a Wisconsin product called "Mountain Crest." It was $9.50 for a case. :p
 
Re: TRP: It's Nut-Cuttin' Time

Well screw you guys. I'm gonna go to the mini fridge and get a couple more discount beers. :)
 
Re: TRP: It's Nut-Cuttin' Time

Apparently this new Sam Adams Noble Pils is pretty **** good. I'm definitely excited to try it.
 
Re: TRP: It's Nut-Cuttin' Time

Hardly ever post in here but this reminded me of the contest Mr and his buddies had when in college. They had a certain $ amt and had to scavenge the best beer they could for the price. Everyone brought a 6 pk and they ranked them. Published it in the school newspaper.

....jet forward 25 yrs....

I go to Statline Store just over the NH border with Lil to see if we can get some sort of weird beer for Mr at Christmas. They have all mundane stuff. I am telling Lil that when we were young everyone came to this store because you couldn't get beer on Sundays (waaaaay back when) and that Dad and his buds used to come here for the cheap beer etc. This guy pops up from behind a counter on the side of the store. "Oh my God!"he says, 'I knew someone would eventually come in!" I look at the guy like he grew a second head.

He says he has something for me to give my husband. I have never been in this store before. I have no idea who he is. He tells us to follow him and gets a big step ladder. He takes us into the back room and points in the rafters. There is a very dusty 6 pk.

Right at the end of the beer wars there was a realy bad beer that the company recalled. They mistakenly left this 6pk behind. He saved it for the beer guys. THe district manager came back, saw it and tried to reclaim it. He wouldn't cough it up. Put it in the rafters where it has been exposed to heat, freeze and spiders. He knew some day one of them would come in. (well a wife was close enough). Everyone in the store knew about this beer. I walksed out with a case of real beer and the putrid beer.

How weird is that. Now the beer is in our house waiting for the beer guys to get together again.

That's a pretty cool story.

Reminds me of the story my mom told me a few years back when she went to get golf lessons. She borrowed my dad's clubs and went up to a local golf course to get the lessons. The instructor there immediately recognized the clubs amazingly enough. He asked my mom, "Where did you get these clubs, you didn't buy them off a guy named Ron did you?"

She tells the guy that she actually married him and that she was just borrowing the clubs. They exchange stories and it turns out that it was my dad's old high school coach. He asks what my dad was up to recently and she tells him how he works at medtronic and how he hasn't really played golf in quite a while.

He replies, "Man that's too bad he didn't keep up with golf, he could have gone pro." :mad:

Bud and MGD are ok if there are no other options. Miller Lite I wouldn't drink if you paid me. I have actually turned down a free pitcher of Miller Lite.

Budweiser is okay and a sentimental fave of mine. Bud Select is okay. Bud Light is on par with Keystone (as well as any light beer except Mich Golden Light). Miller? Sucks. Sucks hard. I hate Miller. Not as much as Bud Light, but overall? Yeah. And surprisingly, it has NOTHING to do with it being from WI, as I enjoy many of their beers.

I can't stand any Miller product. Miller Lite makes me want to punch an infant in the face. I can handle Budweiser and Bud Select. Bud Light is ok...not great, but ok. And no, it's not the fact that it's a Wisconsin product. Sunset Wheat is one of my favorite beers.

A lot of liquor stores around here let you customize your own 6 pack. I'm planning on doing that tomorrow after work. In my uniform. :D
