Butt, $8.49 for a 4-Pack?

 

I dunno ... I'm sure I'll get some at some point

That's cheap for good beer. I'm a big fan of Gulden Draak, and that costs $19.99/4-pack

I'll skip the beers and go for the cider's myself, fan of Angry Orchard at the moment., haven't found a beer that I truly enjoy, more of a "Well this doesn't taste as bad as those I guess"

 

And outside of Long Island Tea and Jack and coke...

True, since I paid $8.99 for a 4-pack of Victory DirtWolf without hesitation

 

They're up there with them, and better in some cases. And that means a lot coming from me, Victory is my favorite brewery.

Woah, this has got waaaay off topic. But I'm chiming in anyways... ;)

I think my love of the amber nectar has you all beat hands down. A couple of years back I bout my husband a keg of (my favourite) beer for Christmas. That's right, 72 pints of the stuff! And you only have 10 days to drink it too....

We worked out a fair split. As long as he drank 4 pints and I drank 3, every day for 10 days we were sorted.

Can I just say...

BEST. CHRISTMAS. EVER. :D :D :D

since getting involved with the medieval fighting 'scene' i've had a right hankering for mead (always fancied a bash at it but now it's a necessity) i've tried 'Waggledance' which is ale with some honey in it and liked that so i'm really looking forward to the 'real' stuff

Mead can be hit or miss. First time I tried it I didn't like it at all, then tried a different one and loved it! (I have perseverance ;))

Hmmm.... I suppose the exact same thing could be said about beer. Ok, just ignore me. I'll shut up now :D

We need a drinking thread.

When I was out bashing people with a sword, I had a lot of friends that brewed beer and mead. Yum!

I woke up on a lot of battlefields back then.

...is this something women like about men? ;)

I guess I'm kind of a beer snob; I see nothing wrong with this.

Agreed.

 

To me, most cheap beer isn't even worth drinking.  Granted, there is bad expensive beer too, but overall I'm more of a quality over quantity guy when it comes to alcoholic beverages.  One or two really good quality drinks beat a six-pack of generic mass-market lager any day.

Oops! So off topic I forgot which thread I was on! :D

Plus, it's really early here.

I think it's my fault (somehow). Every thread I post on ends up derailed.

No!!! Wait!! It's you! You post on them all too, you're to blame :D :D

It's a mathematical equation.... %OnTopic=1/(2*pi*pages).... as the pages get higher, you're chance of being on topic get closer and close to 0....

 

So it's inevitable to venture off topic, you can't stop it, no one can...

Now, not knowing what thread you're on... I can't explain that one. So I'll go with... It's early there, sounds good to me.

You're derailing the Beer thread???? Nooooooo!!! :D

But yes, back to topic. Well, almost.

Not in the gym, but close enough. A girl I was talking to the other day told me that she uses whey protein, but not the "men's" stuff. She buys special "women's" formula, so that she doesn't get bulky! :o :o :o

I....?? She...?? Ugh! *face palm*

Last fall, I dragged my partner to the local Renaissance Festival. Neither of us had ever been and we weren't quite sure what we were getting ourselves into. However, we walked in and I ordered a glass of mead. Life changed. That shit is awesome and I actually bought a bottle and drank the entire thing on Thanksgiving. Moar mead!!! It also kind of satisfies my viking desires or like... mother of dragons or something. Whatever that urge is to wear random rags as dresses and eat meat from a spit and drink mead out of a horn. It's some strange viking/pirate/dothraki/barbarian fantasy, so just go with it.

Yay!!!! It's back, lol :P

My husband and I had pitch-lined leather tankards for drinking beer. Very cool! We would actually take them to bike rallies with us, you should see the jealousy when everyone else is trying to drink out of those god awful flimsy plastic pint glasses and you rock up to the bar with your leather tankards. :D

I bought him a drinking horn (actual horn) once, but you really to get them lined or else all your beer tastes vaguely "meaty". Never quite got around to that...

A Battle log to keep track of your beer?

 

How about downloading the Untappd app?  I tend to use it to keep track of what I'm drinking and it's got a cracking database of ales, ciders and beers!

 

If you do want to download it then you can add me as Obitim!

 

In other news, I was particularly gutted yesterday when I was in the gym early (630 and there is no one else in the weights room, it's great!) and doing my weight lifting circuit when, horror of horrors, someone else came in and, out of all the benches in the gym, used the one I was doing bench press on, that I'd set up, for my final set for the day.  I was gutted!  

 

So I just manned up and did my final bench press in the power rack instead...

Yes. A friend and I were wandering town once and stumbled into this place called Honeymoon... several hours and a bottle later, we decided it needed to become a tradition!
