How do you buy your beer?

[SeaCat]

Normally I buy my beer by the case, fill a shelf in the fridge and open a can as needed or directed by my personal Physician for medicinal purposes. However this may have to change.

The other day I was in a local store and saw they had Heineken Pony Kegs on sale for $10.00 each. I picked one up and dragged the little bugger home. (It's 5 liters.)

I chilled it down and tonight I tapped it. We shall see how long the beer remains good. (It says 30 days.) If it doesn't go bad before I finish it then I think I'll have to get a few more while they're still on sale.

In a glass. At the pub.

I've had some unsatisfying keg exeriences in the past though. Let me know if it stays good more than 2 days. Then you're better off than I was.

In the convenient 30-pack of cans with "BEER" stencilled in black letters on white. The second beer of the night always tastes fine.

I go out. Once a month, when my disability comes in.

Occasionally, when I get royalties, I'll buy a six pack and rent a movie.

 

[The_Fool]

Four-Pack, Six-Pack or Twelve-Pack. Sometimes a mix and match, but I never buy more than a case at a time. Now bottled water on the other hand is usually three or four cases at a time...

Only one or two at a time, actually (although these can be 50 to 75 cl each).

I like to taste various beers, and I don't drink that much anymore. Last night I brought home two 50 cl Erdinger weissbiers and ended up drinking only one.

I invite the neighbors over and ask them to byob! Kidding, sort of. Anecdotally, I actually did in fact invite the neighbors over for "low country boil" last month, then discovered I had no beer. Fortunately, they did and after I asked very nicely, they brought it over. For the benefit of the unitiated, the only acceptable accompaniment to low country boil is beer. I did tease my friends, over the course of the very enjoyable evening, that I only invited them over for the beer.

Dont usually have beer on hand, buy the occassional case of bottles and it takes months for them all to go, then forget to buy it for a while. I nearly always have an open bottle of red wine and bottles of most of the hard stuff on the shelf, but that does not work when the ocassion is wanting beer. I think I would buy a keg like that for a party, but it would not work at my house for regular use. Even if it stayed good, it would take up precious refrigerator space.

i usually buy two twelve packs. One Guinness and one Yuengling. and for some reason i like to drink it in a pattern. One Guiness, One yuengling, One guiness, One yuengling etc etc.


I dont know why, i just do.

Buy beer? Now why would I buy beer when others hand it to me for free?

How do you buy your beer?

For a long while, in excess. Now, in one 24 oz bottle a week.

I miss the old days.

 

[lushlucid]

yuk Heineken.
I buy mine by the glass or six pack

 

[Vermilion]

By the bottle, depending what the Fiance fancies, usually European blond beers or a nice English ale of some description...

[lushlucid]

have you tasted that pure blonde low carb shit?
bloody hell it's awful

 

[john-the-author]

It is definitely carbonated widdle in a glass.

Give me a real beer with flavor! If you have a problem with the extra, oh, 12 grams of carbs, then run around the block to burn 'em off.
