When I was in Mexico, I had the choice of Bud, Tecate, Pacifico or tequila. The best tequila I'd ever had was made in some dude's backyard in Baja. I think he used a car radiator for a condenser.

Actually, you're wrong. True story: I had three 60 Minute IPAs saturday night. Around 10-ish I had to go take a slash pretty bad, so I wondered off to the bathroom. Since I was pretty knackered at this point and very nearly ready to crash, I propped my head against the back wall as I leaned over and prepared to "void" (thanks Lisa), when I noticed a missing and very important tax document that had slid down behind the water tank. So, you know, that was good.

We answer these posts as if we actually expect the poster to return - as if we really expect to continue a conversation that was started - why???

Because, underneath our cheerful and welcoming facade, we are all very lonely???
I didn't think so.

That's one approach - I think that each and every time we do expect that they will return. I wonder where that brewer went?

A girl has just moved into the neighborhood and decides to look into the local tavern. She walks in and notices that there are only three people at the bar - two young men (the first appears to be a cowboy, but not quite; the other clearly a surfer) and a very attractive, slightly built woman wearing orange sneakers. They each have in front of them a notebook of some sort, a couple of books, pens and pencils scattered on the bar. There appears to be no bartender. They are carrying on a conversation among themselves. The girl sits down a couple seats a way from the small group and waits for the bartender. The better looking of the two men - the one without a beard - get up walks aroud the bar an pours himself a beer."Coors light, please?" the girl asks. "Bottle or draft???" Not knowing when the lines had last been cleaned - although the place looks nice enough - she replies "Bottle, please." The man reaches into the ice chest, pulls out a beer, cracks it open and hands it and clean, chilled glass to her ... she puts a bill on the bar. "Thanks, but we don't charge for NASCAR Beer here." "What's NASCAR beer???" "Miller, Bud, Coors ... whatever you see on the sides of NAS-cars." "But I like ..." "Here try this then ... no charge" and he pours her a Pilsner Urquell. "This is Pilnser Urquell. It's from Czechoslovakia - or what used to be - I think it's in the Czech Republic, now. Anyway ... This is the ORIGINAL pilsner, a kind of lager, that all those NASCAR beers used to be like. You DO know the difference between lager and ale don't you???" "Sam Adams is Ale and Yeungling is Lager, right???" "MikeMills, help her out ... MM's our historian. He's from England, but he lives in Texas now. The one kind of offsets the other." "The fetching young lady there is LT, La Tortuga, but don't let the name fool you. My name is Randy." The man retakes is seat next to the young woman, who leans just slightly closer to him. The one with the beard (Mike) looks over to them, rolls his eyes in a nearly inperceptable, look of "Knock it off, we have guests." He rises walks aroud the bar and pours HIMSELF a beer. "I thought HE was the bartender?" the new girl asks. "Contrary to my English sensibility, we don't subscribe to any form of heirarchy here." "It's pretty non-linear," the sneaker girl adds, "Or is it un-linear?" she smirks to her companion. Sensing the whole scene is just a little too cozy for her tastes, the new girl finishes her pint and leaves.

"Sigh..." Mike Mills sighs, "there goes another one. Time was when they would at least stay for a refill and a quick round on the shuffleboard."

Holy mother of god: "I want to echo InsideRunner in saying 'Coors Light Over Ice?????' DANG! If the watery, Coors type pilsners are your bag and you truly enjoy them; who am I to tell you to quit? But please know that beer is just the most wonderful, most complex, most diverse drink in the world, and to see people missing all the incredible tastes available in America today is heartbreaking. You're runners! You know what it's like to get more out of life than the average person! I look at people who don't run and I think "How can you stand not knowing what it's like to be a runner... how can you NOT RUN!!!??" But I feel the same way about you fizzy Rocky Mountain water drinkers! When it comes to beer you're just walking, man - try running! Go buy an IPA or a Porter!!!" My attitude now: "I had two Aventinus wheat doppelbocks last night and woke up with a headache AND hives. The hell with it - who's running anyway? I'm gonna go smoke a clove."
