Just my opinion. You seem rather proud of your alleged knowledge of beer product. Is that correct?

Oh, BTW, what does a pint of Guinness weigh and what does a pint of Busch "heavy" weigh?

:spock:ROFL

You really don't find stouts to be more filling? I drink one and I don't want to drink any more.

I not overly sure what's in the beer fridge at the momnet, but I'm going to raid it.

And thanks Gonzo. Now I have a hunger for burnt ends.

Sorry bout that, the whole quote thingy can be tricky on a mobile device after a few inferior beers.

I was saying that I do enjoy Guiness, (being of irish decent and all). So there's something, which is nice.

Many stouts can be more filling. Depends on the stout, and moreover the specific kind of stout. Irish dry stouts (like Guiness) aren't very filling at all, on the whole. I can take a sixer of Boulevard Dry Stout out fishing with me and drink it all day.

You have a fridge solely for the purpose of removing heat from your beer, and keeping it that way? If so, did you consult with this Reaper person on the following?

1) The size of said fridge? I'll bet that the true connoisseur has a minimum cubic footage requirement.

2) The location of said fridge? I'm guessing a garage-type structure?

3) I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the color of said fridge is a sticking point for some.

DUDE! I made some burnt ends a few weeks ago. They're awesome!
As a matter of fact, next week I'm smoking like 8 racks of ribs for my boy's 1st b-day party. We're having a bunch of people over. I think I'm gonna have to do some burnt ends as well.

I'm proud of my knowledge of anything.

They both weigh sixteen ounces. The "heaviness" in this case refers to how the drink will sit in your stomach and perhaps even alludes to the alcohol by volume percentage. In that case, Busch is actually "heavier" than Guinness; Busch sits at 4.6% ABV while Guinness sits at 4.2% ABV.

See, this is a funny parody. Nicely done.

ROFL Ah this is rich for someone who bitches about people hanging out in their garage.

1) No I did not.

2) No I did not, but it IS within reach of my lawn chairs I sit in my garage with.

3) Simple white. It just screams "beer fridge". My cousin actually converted his downstairs fridge into a kegerator, and did it relatively cheap. Don't tell the wife I'm considering the same....

What sauce do you use on those bad boys? (And your boy is already a year? WTF?)

LMAO

by the way you like your beer I bet your burnt ends suck as well

Now I am curious as to what is down there. I'm going to go make a detailed list of my alchohol.

Huh?

Getting on someone for being a snob whilst you harbor very snobby tendencies as well.

I tried to tell him earlier!

That, and ending that horrific sentence with a preposition...

Heathen.

Who was I getting on for being a snob?

I do mow my lawn. Wait, are we talking about the same thing? :D

Yep, one year as of the 21st. He's a big boy too. (almost 25 lbs)
I hope my inferior taste in brew doesn't rub off on him.
:)
I use this sauce from a small butcher shop in Omaha called "Just Good Meat"
Bugeater, if you're not familiar with this place it's on 84th across from H&H Chevy. Not too sweet and it has a good kick.

by the way, the important thing is not what beer you are drinking, it's that you have time to drink them enjoy it. I am going to drink a pbr light and maybe get some meeeler lite later on

NTTAWWT.

I was thinking the same thing. The results:

6 Pilsner Urquell
4 Hoegaarden
4 Michelob Original Lager*
3 Fat Tire
3 Schlafly Pale Ale
2 Budweiser Select
1 Skinny Dip
1 Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
1 Shiner Bock
1 Boulevard Lunar Ale
1 Chimay Ale (Blue)
1 Chimay Ale (Red)

* Purchased and left by a guest

Are you absolutely sure about this? I want to give you the opportunity to be absolutely clear: you are stating that a pint of Guinness and a pint of Busch "heavy" both weigh exactly the same, 16.000000 oz.

Is that correct?

I need to make a beer run soon. I'm nearly empty, and I'm all out of hoppy things.

My fridge:
3x Boulevard Bully! Porter
1x Pabst Blue Ribbon (Its remarkably ok for being cheap swill, as long as you like the taste of corn)
1x Bell's Expedition Stout
1x Southern Tier Mokah Imperial Stout

My aging "cellar":
3x Bell's Expedition Stout
1x Boulevard Smokestack Series Imperial Stout
1x 2008 Boulevard Smokestack Series Saison-Brett (Which I need to open soon.)

I, too, have an extensive and impressive range of beverages:

15 Coors Lights. Aged properly.

Delicious Q, though.

Heh, no. Nice catch. I retract that statement because I am a dummy. I must have thought you were referring to their volume. I should have read closer/better.

Like you could tell with the case of cottonmouth I'm sure you're sporting today. :)

I'm all for regional speech patterns coloring informal prose. Missourians end sentences with prepositions all of the time.

ROFL love the asterisk. BTW Hoegaarden is the shit.

You would have a friend for life with my wife since you have Chimay on stock.

:) have a good one

English ain't never done me no goods nohows.

I've "caught" blue gills that were more challenging, but I accept your retraction.

Donger Pwns are the best. ROFL

My kids got in a fight today, a nasty one. My girl was going nuts on her brother, so I broke them up and asked what precipitated the violence. My daughter looked at me with fire in her evil, little eyes and said, "He keeps on saying 'My sister and me' instead of 'My sister and I!!!!!!'"

I may have gone too far.

The list -

8 - Red Stripe
6 - Boulevard Wheat
6 - Bud Light
4 - Killian Irish Red
2 - Blue Moon Honeymoon
2 - Guiness Draught
1 - Boulevard Dry Stout
1 - Boulevard Pale Ale
1 - Blue Moon
1 - Land Shark
1 - Shlafly (Stout, I think)

3 - Bottles of wine from local vineyards
3 - Mini bottles of Icewine
1 - Bottle of cheap champagne, for them fancy Donger-like companies that cover over

ROFL

It's just a step towards world domination.....

Soooo, anyway. I just set the ribs out to settle in some foil. When I picked them up, they split in half. I think all is right with the world. Thank you Reaper for the entertainment.
Posted via Mobile Device

The meat isn't falling off of the bone, is it?

Nearly. It's holding together well but splitting at the joints. It has a nice pink hue to it. the outside is a dark crimson with a little burn. Perfection.
Posted via Mobile Device

Good. When they're falling off the bone, then they are almost always overdone. The texture gets compromised.

Enjoy them. I wish I were eating as well as you; I guess I'll settle for drinking better.

Pssshh..too many different kinds of tasty brews in my fridge to even get me started.

Lumière Naturelle - YOU have to try this. Sooooo good. Got about 30 in the fridge.

ROFL

Look out Gonzo! He's trying to "trick" you.

LMAO

LMAO

Minus one Land Shark.

Since I live out here in Siesta Country, where awesome Mexican food is always a stones throw away, I've taken kind of a shine to Negra Modelo.

It's kind of sweet for a dark beer and it goes great with food or on it's own.

One of my brothers had a beer fridge in his garage (three car, mind you). I told his wife what it costs to run a fridge in a garage for a year and she made him get rid of it.

He still won't speak to me.

Tsk tsk.

I know exactly the place you're talking about, I grew up about 1/2 mile from there, but I haven't been in that store for years. I'll have to pick some up sometime.

Energy efficiency trumps beer fridge. Sorry.

that's what I'm doing today!

Although, I haven't perfected the art of ribs; this is my first shot. I seasoned with a dry rub and coated with brown sugar and covered in foil and put in the oven at 220 for asbout 2 hours; now I'm basting nice and low with some hickory in the smoker box for the gas grill.

.....hopefully they don't suck! I've always wanted to learn how to make good ribs and someday move to a smoker.....baby steps.

LMAO

Yeah, you've got to keep the thing full, or else it's going to cost you twice as much as the upstairs fridge does to run it. Ours is a beer fridge/handy storage area for various foods. I wonder how efficient my cousin's kegerator is? Not very, I bet.

Awesome. I hope they turn out well.

No doubt man...
Their prices are good too.
Posted via Mobile Device

I don't understand. It takes more energy to run it when it's full versus empty.

Is that anywhere near 27th and Q, near Bellevue? (that's the only place I go when I end up in Omaha, heh)

I'll have to try and remember/find that article I read stating that an empty fridge costs more to cool than a full, due to the empty space you're constantly cooling.

Maybe I've confused that with a deep freeze....

WTF are you doing at 27th & Q? I hope you are fluent in Spanish if you're hanging out in that part of town. The place Gonzo is talking about is in Ralston.

Heh, the UPS depot is there.....

I live in Bellevue, pm me the next time you're here. Just Good meat is on 84th and L. It's the best old school butcher shop we have left.
Posted via Mobile Device

My wife's stepsister used to live in Bellevue, right off Corhhusker. Don't remember the name, but they lived by the big Wal-Mart, and right down the street from a high school.....

Piss on you bastards. That first beer went down too easily. What should I drink next from my selection?

Stoysich is really good too, they're a little closer to where I live now, but they're not cheap.

It's kind of a tricky question, actually. If you are constantly adding room temperature beer to the fridge, of course it works harder to remove the heat from the beer. But, once the heat had been removed (and the door isn't opened all the time), the volume of air inside the fridge becomes the critical issue. The less "empty" volume, the better, IIRC.

That makes sense, and that's what I thought when I saw that. Kind of reverse logic working.

I need a beer. Who wants what?

I used to go to stoysich until when I needed supplies for butchering deer and elk, until I discovered hobarts. (much cheaper for that type of thing)

Bellevue West, that was my high school for a year. I live no more than 2 miles from there. I live down by Offutt afb now.

Get me a Natty lite.
Posted via Mobile Device

I remember we went over the toll bridge to get to her place, and that there was a Runza not far from where they lived. Good shit, that Runza.

**** you. Drink a Red Stripe.

Are you in the Air Force?

red strip tastes like rubber, anyone else not a fan? despite my findings i've heard nothing but good things.

very jealous Gonzo, perfect day out and I was stuck working.
and making the wife mow the lawn? that's what i'm talkin about:D:clap:

Jamaican weed, YES.

Jamaican beer, meh.

I just had an idea for a thread whilst in the shower. I was washing my genitals and I suddenly thought of Roy Scheider's (sp?) line from Jaws: "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

Unless it has been done before, what do you chaps think about a thread where obscure movie quotes (unlike my penis-inspired example above) are given and the rest must identify that quote based on their knowledge alone (no Googling)?

jamaican weed is schwag
you're better off takin a vaca to cali

There's no way to be sure they're not Googling.
