Dave. . while your beer test is a good idea, my fishing partners have terrible taste in beer. Or actually, no taste in beer. When I brought good beer, it disappeared quickly. . And there was never enough to numb the taste of the remaining beers, which I suspect would fail your floatation test. I have downgraded my beer in increments so that it is not as appealing to others, and I get to have a few. Milwaukee Special reserve. . 30 cans for $14. Probably doesn't hurt, but I don't cry as much as when the Sam Adams disappears. .
