A friend of mine sent this video to me, and since I haven't posted in a while due to some business travel, I thought I would share. This guy has a lot of time on his hands, but hey, I'm blogging so I don't have much room to talk. For the record, southern Maryland is very boring, but the crabs are good. And no, not those kind of crabs.
I've seen people open bottles of beer with various objects: paper, lighters, shoes, etc., but nothing like this. Kudos. She's a keeper. Added bonus if she could add a lime to the beer without using her hands.
With football season approaching, I decided to throw in this video. This kid has some talent and raw speed. Looks like he tears up his pee-wee league much like Joseph Addai did to the Eagles last year in Indianapolis. Ugly. I bet USC has already contacted him regarding a verbal commitment.
That's it for now. Expect a new Deathmatch Listoff shortly.
Ah, that marvelous beer once brewed in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Then big-and-bad Anheuser-Busch came along, scooped those green bottles up, and moved shop to Dirty Jersey. Jersey? Booo. Still, their pledge is inspiring:
From the glass lined tanks of Old Latrobe, we tender this premium beer for your enjoyment as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you.
I thought memorizing that tidbit and romantically reciting it to a hot piece-of-ass at the bar would be a guarantee score. Not so much. Still, the mysterious '33' is a good conversation starter.
Smithwick's
I was fortunate to be introduced to this fine Irish red ale by S-man. He received a case as a present from a co-worker and he was kind enough to share. Although we used it for beer baseball, which means I was drunk and not as appreciative to the flavor of a fine beer, Smithwick's caught my heart and I'm quick to order a pint if a bar has it on tap.
Moosehead Lager
The moose is loose! Once upon a time, I thought this tasty lager was brewed in the region by the lake in Maine with the same name. This bad boy is a Canadian beer, and now that Molson and Labatt are owned by a foreign company, Moosehead is Canada's largest brewery. Congrats on that.
Furthermore, this is a fighting beer. Use the Moose in your beer pong/baseball tournament and you will most likely have a throw down by the end of the night. Tempers flare when you start debating whether a steal was legitimate or not.
Just like a one-flip suicide squeeze, each and every Moosehead is special:
Guinness
The sweet nectar from Dublin had to make my list. A great beer to warm you up on a cold winter evening, or drop a shot of Jameson and Bailey's to make an Irish Car Bomb during a summer bachelor party. Either way, this is a staple to any beer fan's diet. Added bonus if the bartender can imprint a clover in the head.
As fine as it is, Guinness isn't the greatest binge-beer. Besides being pricey, morning-after Guinness farts and shits are the worst. Damn. Although I've been told Guinness has similar good-for-the-heart characteristics as wine. So you'd have that going for you.
Coors Barmen Pilsner
Yeah that's right, bitch. Coors. I said it. The boys in the Rockies brew this beer for only a few restaurants and bars in the Golden, CO area. I was fortunate enough to eat at one during my trip to the area back in 2002. The 7-minute pilsner went nicely with the slab of meat I had for dinner. Well worth the wait. If you're in the vicinity, order one. Then again, if you find yourself in the town of Golden, I could suggest a few other "activities" to experience as well, but that's off subject.
This is a pretty obvious list to do (and easy to put together). I'm surprised nobody thought of it earlier. Alcoholic that I am, it's pretty certain that my picks will be the best.
Schaefer Beer Now this is kind of obscure, but cases of it are available at the Beer Mill (my local beer store, which is like 3 blocks from my apartment). Plus, it's the one beer to have when your having more than one. Best. Jingle. Ever. And I always have more than one. Just ask this 70s-tastic commercial featuring the one and only Moog synthesizer.
Leinenkugels Or as it is affectionately known, Leinie's. A Wisconsin brewed beer, the less obvious choice than Miller. In fact, this beer is pretty much the only positive thing I remember about the 7 months I lived in Wisconsin. Of course, the excessive amount of Leinie's I drank while there may have had an effect on both the number of positive experiences and my memory of them. I'm not sure how many different types of Leinenkugels there are, but this one is probably my favorite. Yes, it's just because of the name.
Yuengling Those of you who have never lived in the Delaware Valley probably have never heard of this, but you are missing out. So cheap and good, the pride of Pottsville, Pa. In fact you can walk into any bar in the Philadelphia area and simply order "a lager" and every bartender will know what you are talking about. For the uninitiated (I'm looking in Mr. "Can i have swiss cheese on a cheesesteak" TMoney's direction) it's pronounced yingling. Which makes for hilarious commercials involving asians.
Bass Ale Yeah I couldn't really think of anything else. I was tempted to go with something completely off the wall, like scotch, but that would destroy the integrity of the deathmatch listoff, whatever that means. So I went with another ale (my favorite kind of beer). Also I always seem get Bass when its on tap at the bar, so there you go. Fucking Limeys.
