Polls From Late Night

Down and dirty tonight, everyone. And just as a disclaimer, I've had all of these and I'm not cool enough to be a hipster and not smart enought to even know how to be a poser, so let's not get all pissy out there....

Poll

Pabst Blue Ribbon. Go!

Dude, that shit is a gimmick aimed at hipsters and posers who really don't like it either.

Hipsters? Posers? Fuck you, man, I drink it because it's cheap and it has playing cards under the bottle caps.

Thank you for proving my point, hipster poser. The gimmick you site outs the gimmicky nature of your drink.

4 votes

Oh really, cool guy? Then what's the drink of choice for cool guys, Bud Select? Or do you prefer something more watery?

7 votes

Dude, I drink Stag.

Yes, buddy. You can totally buy me a Hamms. But I'm getting us Schlitz for the next round!

I voted for the option that said “fuck” in it.

Anyways… I more of a straight up liquor + energy drink kind of person. Beer is ok, but not my first choice.

I have a bumblebee transformers poster. My life is complete.

I don't know what to vote for

The choices are all so … awesome. If you’re going with dirty cheap beer, I’ll have me a Keystone Light. First time I got obliterated was thanks to some ’Stones. Ahh memories.

My drink of choice is grog(Simply Lemonade and Captain Morgan 4tw) and all beer tastes the same to me. But since I call Southeast MO home I gotta represent the stag.

To me, Pabst is only good for beer pong

Call me a homer, but unless something else is being offered for free, I usually stick with Bud Light.

Normally, I'm a beer snob.

But there are times and places (float trips, golf courses) where you just can’t take beer in bottles. So as long as I’m slumming with canned beer, it might as well be something outside of the A-B family.

I’m rather bemused by all of the “hipster” talk, though. My decision to rock PBR as the slum beer came in the mid-90s, fueled by Allen Ross performances at Culley’s in downtown Springfield. (Some of the other MSU alums may know what I’m talking about.) I drank PBR when nobody else did, and I’ll still drink it in a month or two when the kids have moved on to some other fad.

Back in the day .....

they used to sell these little PBR 10 packs I think they were. Maybe 6 ounce cans instead of the normal 12 ounce beers. For the life of me I can’t remember the nickname we had for them handy packs. Schlitz Malt Liquor had the same thing and we called them “Baby Bulls” after the bull commercial for the big cans.

Don’t let them little cans fool ya, you can get oblitcherated on them just as fast, in fact they slam down nicely.

I’ll look in my beer can collection to see if I still have one after the last g/f went through my shit in the garage. She was threatening to clean house but shit, I had cans from all over the world I couldn’t part with.

Back in the Rolla days...

we upped the volume of the Blue Ribbon enough that they spiked the price all around town (capitalist bastards). Every Wednesday was the scouting day, sizing up who had the 30 packs for the cheapest (over $12 was unacceptable). Oh, to have that much free time again… Anyway, we were only about 4 or 5 “cards” away from a full deck, and it drove us nuts trying to get those last few (imagine both Peter trying to find his Golden Ticket and Homer helping Lisa recycle). These days, a good Stag hits the spot right nice like. I’m torn on the poll, so I’ll go with the playing cards.

Take it easy while it is easy.

Two kinds of beer

Capital B Beer Is when you want something specific. Personally, I like darker beers. dark lagers, porters, especially stouts. I try to keep good beer stocked in the fridge when I want it.

Lower case b beer: when you just need something cold, wet, & cheap that’ll get you screaming lines from the Departed at each other during kickball once you’ve had a few. Pretty much any American-style lager or pilsner. I definitely keep cheap beer stocked for when I need it.

Busch, Bud, PBR, the Beast, Stroh’s (when I can find it)- it’s all good. I do have a soft spot for Stag, ‘cause that’s what my grandpa drank.

Beer

I remember one year at the old barn we were bitchin about Falstaff as the only choice to be had ( Gabe & Walker commercials ring a bell?). The next year it got worse, Stag.

In longnecks the 4th one taste allright.

I'm a bottled beer snob . . .

and have only once found PBR in bottles. So you can imagine how often I drink it, but I find it tolerable.

I usually go with the Red Label, but whenever they’re available I’ll go with Amber Bock, Newcastle Brown Ale, Guinness and the like. I don’t go cheap on booze, even if I’m broke.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
