I like the space cake design. The punk rock one is good for its simplicity.

Which was your favorite of these? Flavor wise and art wise I guess lol.

Actually, Space Cake and Punk Rock FRK were both standouts flavor-wise from what I remember. Blood of the Unicorn and Wizard Sauce are nifty as far as the artwork.

Locally, the most decorated cans I've seen come from Flying Monkeys brewery. They all have a psychadelic motif.

Bloody mary today. Long, long day. New headaches abound.

Sprinkled some old bay hot sauce in it for the first time. Good mix.

That's a good choice. I haven't made one of those in ages. Do you put in a celery stalk, bean, or no vegetable?

Sorry to hear about the headache. The weather's been crap (rainy and humid) here lately. I have friends who get migraines during weather like this.

Headaches having more to do with my job lol. Not literal headaches. Annoying day.

And I prefer a pickle spear and/or olives!

Have you tried Smirnoff Ice?

so I've been shopping for a new standard...so far I've enjoyed "Maduro Brown Ale" from Cigar City Brewing

but as the brewery suggests this is a classier heavier beer you might enjoy with a cigar, so when I went ahead and drank 6 in one sitting it made me quite ill

a lighter one I've enjoyed is the "Gentleman's Relish" which sounds like the name of a strip club despite being a kiddy beer at 4.2% (typical of English browns), it's overly creamy, and I can only get it at this one bar blah blah blah

I've just been drinking Shiner Bock in the meantime

Agreed re: the hoppiness - as someone who enjoys good craft beers and ciders I HATE the trend towards overly hoppy. And if you talk to a lot of other people who are into beers, that's the kind they prefer. Sad state of affairs.

Shiner Bock is good stuff. Shiner BLACK Bock used to be my standby - easy drinking. Not even sure how the hell I had it all the time tbh because it's from Texas and I'm in Michigan. My early 20s were a blur.

This conversation would sound gibberish to some people.

I'm not a huge fan of hoppy beers but they can still taste fine even if it's a bit of a shotgun blast to the mouth, and I'd rather drink a double IPA to get turnt than a better tasting beer for the flavor.

Carpe Mortem · 08-10-2022, 07:33 PM

I've drank them for sure. But, I'm usually looking to only turnt to about 6 out of 10 decibel levels. And given the choice.... I'll take a non IPA every time. I'll drink Coors Light over most IPA's. That's actually my bar / show preference when nothing good is available.
