Beer research

Just get some Pabst Blue Ribbon.  I assume it's got a blue ribbon on it because it won some type of contests at some point.  Claims  to be Americas best beer back in 189X and hasn't changed since.  Taste like crap, but at $3 a six pack or less, depending on how thick the layer of dust is on them, you can't beat that price.  I would be really suprised if this beer was filter.  i don't think it is.  I've heard stories of folks finding strange things at the bottom of thier can of Pabst.  Don't forget to show some love to beers underachieving down and out cousin, malted wine.

Actually, PBR is one of America's best macro-produced lagers.  Bud and Co's advertising has you fooled into thinking it's crap.  Oh, and it's absolutely filtered.

The Mad Dog is a different story.

Oh forgot to mention awesome reply LPC2104, great explanation, I am sure that answered Srinath's question.   

[LPC2104]

Ok, I thought PBR recently won something and I confirmed it.  It won the 2005 Gold Medal and the Great American Beer Festival for American Style Premium Lager.  They may have won the 2006 gold in the same category but I couldn't find the results.  Don't knock PBR. 

Also, the got the blue ribbon because they used to tie a silk ribbon on their bottles.  It was originally called select.

I'm a little bit amused that no one has identified my screen name as a beer made in St. Paul, MN up until a few years ago when the brewery closed.

The only Minnesota beer I have ever had was Pig Eyed Pete, that was an experience.  I think the 12 pack cost $3, my grandfather looked at me like I was an idiot.  If you have had the Pete, then you know why!

We could go 110 miles before the Super Hawk needed gas.  290 in the truck! 



I thought ESB was Extra Special Beer?

I thought ESB was Extra Special Beer?   

Nope.  "Bitter" is an English ale and "Extra Special/Strong" is refering to the up'd malt (which leads to alc %) and increased hops.

Extra Special/Strong Bitter = english bitter on roids.

It's actually called 'Pig's Eye'.  Pete Parrant, a fur trapper, is on the label. That swill is made by the same brewery that makes Grainbelt Premium, the Minnesota Brewing Company. When I was in college (99-03) you could get a 24 pack of returnable bottles for 12 bucks, and get 2 bucks back when you returned the bottles.

Its not real tasty, but the price is right.

I've heard of Grainbelt.  I had bar stools in my room in college that said "Grainbelt Beer" on them.

And I've been drunk on Pigs Eye.  I was in Crested Butte, CO.   A bar called The Eldo there has "Bad Beer Night".  $1 Rainer and Pigs Eye.  I puked up the fish tacos I ate at "The Power Plant" and crawled through the gutter, mumbleing "Powerful big rats, Captain."  A blue heeler called Haystack cleaned up my puke for me.  I took several pictures of him the next day.  Beautiful dog.

Hey, question for the beer gods here.

Most beers, by my jusgement, have little or no taste aside from a nasty bite at the end.

Of course I'm generally sent to the cheap shaZam! by:

A. Availability (circumstances dictate me not buying it myself for a few more months.)
B. Multiply cost per bottle by my drinking habits.
C. I know hard liquor, and feel like a total idiot when trying to figure out a beer, so I prefer not to look like a moron and end up staying with what I know. (liquor and cigars)

But if anyone wants to know cigars just ask me.     (My fav's are conneticut shade grown)
