Here is something for the beer snobs
Frank Booth: What kind of beer do you like? Jeffrey Beaumont: Heineken.
Frank Booth: [shouting] Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

A great movie quote!

Tried Ten-Fidy. Not impressed. I've had several stouts that I like much better. It was good, but not exceptional like I expected. 3.5/5.

Surprising, I think it's great. Plus it doubles as 10w-30 in a pinch.

Tonight is more 12 Dogs, just like every other night.

Much rather partake in the following stouts: Founders, Hoppin Frog, Left Hand, Alesmith, Rouge, Great Divide, Stone, Goose Is, 3Floyds, Humbolt.

ugh I think Rogue stout sucks total ass. Wasn't impressed with Yeti when I had it, like drinking an ashtray.

Thing I like about ten fidy, available yr round, in a can and the dark fruit notes. If you age it for a yr or so, it gets really chocolatey as well.

I didn't hate Yeti, but yeah, there are plenty better. I wouldn't put it in the conversation of top-tier stouts. I could drink it comfortably, though.

Yep. Year-round convenience, and honestly, I feel less like I'm being judged as pretentious if I bring cans to a family gathering as opposed to a bomber. It gets annoying.

Onto Sierra Nevada Celebration. Didn't realize it was IPA. Thought it was a Christmas spiced ale. Still delicious.

Was suspicious when Sam Adams started coming out with craft brews. However, I've heard a few good things about some of their others, so I'm hopeful that it'll be decent, at least.

To me it tasted like a cherry juice which made it tart for me. Kinda thin too. Could be a good concept but poor execution.

Lol. I knew you'd call me out before I posted. :)

I still have plenty from the first "last" pickup, but this will definitely last me through the week... Then I'm done. :) I can only drink about four of these til I'm toast!
