Drinking Beer and Smoking Ribs...
 
I'm in my backyard on a beautiful day, drinking beer and smoking a few racks of ribs. I think I have just about perfected this art. I use a good dry rub that has ground cayanne, sea salt, minced dry garlic, red pepper and a little onion salt. My baste has some Johnny Red, olive oil, cajun seasoning, balsanic vinagar and fresh garlic. My beer has alcohol, hopps and has been kissed by angels.
My boy is hanging out with me. He turns 1 on Tuesday. My wife is mowing the yard in some skin tight jeans.
Life is good today, that is all.

Miller Lite. A beer that claims to both be a pilsner and be hoppy and is, in truth, neither of those things.

Considering your taste in beer, your ribs probably suck as well.

Beer snob huh? That's cool, (to each his own). You can take your boulevard, I prefer a lighter beer that doesn't taste like I'm drinking a bottle of moldy bread.
And no...My ribs are the shit.

I'm not really a beer snob. People with compromised palates such as yourself might think that I am, but I'm not. If I were a snob, I would be touting something more exclusive than Boulevard, which is a very accessible craft brewery. Truthfully, I don't have an issue with anyone drinking Miller Lite or something similar. (I say compromised palate because there is no Boulevard product that contains a "moldy bread" flavor profile. You are straight incorrect about that.)

You might want to try Boulevard Pilsner. It is similar to a Miller, except has a true hop character and uses 100% malted barely. Miller Lite is an adjunct lager; it uses rice as an adjunct grain to its barely. That rice is what makes it an inferior product in my eyes.

About a month or so. Its only available in the greater KC area so far. Its really solid, easy drinking and refreshing. The label is the same colors and font of the old Muehlebach Pilsner (from KC brewery Muehlebach) and its being sold on shelves near Bud, Miller, Coors, etc. Boulevard may have a hit on their hands once they start shipping it all over.

anxiously awaiting this. They just recently started getting the Smokestack series here in Texas. I've been drinking the shit out of the doublewide IPA.

Oh, it has been. I mean it's like at 34 degrees and it is cool and refreshing. I was being overly descriptive I suppose. There's nothing wrong with my pallate sir. I have cooked meals with the game I've shot that would make Jesus consider coverting to Islam.
And yes, I was aware that Miller brews with rice, which is why I get no hangover after copius amounts of intake from said beer, (which is the point). I've drank the types of beer in which you speak of. I've seen little homo's put orange slices and limes in it as well. Give me a miller lite and a ****ing cheeseburger, (or ribs in this case) and I'm a happy man.

I've drank something like Boulevard Pale Ale all day long and never gotten a hangover from it. So I don't understand that argument.

I have to take issue with your phrasing in the latter part of your post. "The types of beer in which I speak of" is not very descriptive. The only beers that I've mentioned specifically before this post have been Miller Lite and Boulevard Pilsner. If by "the types..." you mean craft beer in general, then the phrase is even more undescriptive. Beer is an incredibly varied form of beverage, with more separate and distinct types than there are distinct types of wine.

As for the fruit, well, some styles lend themselves to that sort of thing. I've never seen a lime slice put into anything, but lemon and orange can be put into a pale wheat beer, a hefewiezen or a witbeir to accentuate the citrus flavors.

Also, lovely use of "homo" as a pejorative. I'm sure the child in your avatar is going to be real proud of ol' pops.

Feel free to talk crap about my parenting skills, you opinion matters not, and I used the word homo for it's comical value, not to be degrading. So if you suck dick, I apologize.(nttawwt) Tell you what, we'll agree to disagree. The whole point of this thread was not to get into an ardious (sp?) debate over my beer of choice, but to strike up a conversation concerning my day of awesomness.

It's ok to be a beer snob. Most of us are snobs about something. Snobbery is not for the stuck-up only.

Thank you for your answer.

Oh. You think that an admission of my age says something on its face regarding this thread beyond simply telling how old that I am. Cute.

Is that a question or a statement?

Well, wine is an incredibly complex beverage. Beer is, too. You'd think that my reviews are totally snobby, too, I suspect.

A statement. I don't see that exchange involving my age as working in any different way.

I agree with this if it's someone who appreciates good beer. But like all things, opinions are subjective. Just like movie critics ... opinions vary.

Heh, that's tempting but I'll be firing up my grill shortly, it's steak and shrimp night here. And I'll be enjoying a few Busch heavies with it.

There's no reason to get all riled up. I was 99% sure that you were, anyway. I was just asking for confirmation.

Oh, I agree totally, just don't say you're not a snob when you are one.

I'll highly recommend that you do NOT visit GoChiefs' "Designer Vaginaa" thread and look at the pictures linked in post #13.

Busch Heavy? You beer snob. I don't think my inferior pallate could handle such a beer.

I always hated that term. (I don't hate that you enjoy Busch, btw) A lot of people will avoid, say, stouts because of the perceived "heaviness." But a Guiness is, for all intents and purposes, as light as a Budweiser... which is to say that it isn't "heavy" at all.

Sorry, just nitpicking a large, regional trend.

I respect a man who will admit to indulging a couple of heavy bushes.

What's to say that I'm riled up? I'm cool as a cucumber in this thread.

Fine, I will admit to being a snob under the definition that you provided. I just don't like the negative implications that the word has... its part of a long, long history of anti-intellectualism in this country.

You sir, are a gentleman. I appreciate your tact and candor.
