Bad Beer

[carsonshepherd]

I think I'm finally a grown-up, because rather than drink a bad beer, I poured it down the drain and I'm going without.

I remember once, when I was nineteen, I drank a piss-warm bottle of Boone's Farm sangria rather than spend the whole day sober. I haven't been able to look at sangria since.

What do you do when you only have bad beer left?

I make Italian Beef.

Oh yeah? My BF's mom makes delicious Italian beef with bottled Italian dressing. Tell me about your recipe with beer.

I pour it out or mix it with barbecue sauce and make ribs. But then, we have genuinely massive quantities of alcohol in the house at most times. There is always something else. (This is not because we drink large amounts, but rather because we drink very rarely, but can't turn down an interesting-looking new tipple at the store).

Meat: I usually use some sort of chuck roast, but friends make theirs with turkey breast.

Seasonings: A couple of packets of Good Seasonings Italian Dressing mix and a jar of pepperocinis. If we've been to the Hill recently, I add the leftover olive salad.

A can of beer: That one from the back of the refrigerator or found under the table after a party.

Crock pot.

Heh. This reminds me of the time my husband asked guests coming to a party to bring some sort of unusual beer. Well, we ended up with tons of weird and exotic and imported beer that stayed in the frige for...years I think But one guest--yes--brought a six pack of Bud.

A few weeks later, we got that Bud out of the frige by taking it to another party

See my post in Imp's thread *hint, anyone care to go out and get shitfaced?*

My boyfriend usually buys one six-pack of "good" beer and then a case of Stag. Yep, Stag.

Needless to say, out of the leftovers of our canoe trip, the "good beer" was all gone and all that was left was Stag. And the ice was melted out of the cooler so it wasn't even ice cold. Blech.

My date fell asleep.

I'll be over in... what... about ten hours?

How was the canoe trip?

How was the canoe trip?

Other than three straight nights of rain, it was loads of fun. Thanks for asking.

Thank heaven. I thought we'd have that upper shelf of wine for the rest of our lives. Drop by in the morning and we'll start the barbecue and drinking as soon as we're awake. You can never start to early on that sort of thing.

My date fell asleep.

Mine's on the wrong side of the country (and she fell asleep).

Put it in something. I'd suggest chili, but that's a winter food to me, and I live where it's hot.

Do you have a garden, and is it infested with snails? Put some beer in a shallow dish; the snails will come drown themselves in it.

You'd fit in nicely around here with that attitude

AND

You reminded me I have wine in the fridge!

 

[carsonshepherd]

Ahhh so now I have wine.

I'm staying in tonight and enjoying a nice quiet evening.

Seems to be an epidemic.

Hehehe, I wouldn't blame them if they did.

Snails are said to be notoriously unfussy what beer they drown themselves in.

I drink bud light and always check the born on date. However, if you are in, say, Colorado...don't drink any Bud products. The retailers tend to store them outside. So the beer gets toasted diring the day and cold at night. A few cycles of this and they all turn green. So, when in Colrado, I drink Corona.

Other times, if I have a green beer...I do what you did...pour it down the drain, no matter how buzzed I am. Either that or make deep fried onion rings with beer batter.

 

[SlickTony]

The only time we ever drink Bud is if we're somewhere that there's not much else going. Recently we've been into Yuengling Black & Tan, but since we went to Jamaica, we've revived our interest in Red Stripe, because if you wanted beer there that's what you got.

My step father used to drink Old Milwakee, and he used to put salt in it I guess cuz they were all bad.

 

[tickledkitty]

Old Milwaukee?? That brings back ugly memories of college. Fifty-cent pitcher night at a townie bar my friends all liked. The nights were fun so much fun, and who can resist getting drunk on a couple bucks? But the next morning...ugh. Pounding head, cottony mouth, diarrhea...

I can get the same thing with excessive amounts of tequila. I was nauseated until 6:00 the next evening.
