Why are you being punished?

Tortured, more like...

Youse guys got that right (punished,tortured). It has to do with blood sugar and being overweight. But I won't do Coors silver bullets or Keystone. A man's got to draw the line somewhere. Life is good.

Have become a very large fan of New Belgium Brewery. Fat Tire is a medium / darkish brew with both a great initial taste and aftertaste. Could stand it a bit heavier but it's good. 1554 is a very, very nice truly dark and 2 Below is a bit hoppy winter ale (6.6%)that has really grown on me. All is above 5% with true flavor. Of course I'm more in the dark ale, porter, stout corner than the flavored water that passes for beer coming out of most breweries. That's becoming the brewery version of the Encore rifle (Everybody else buys it, YOU should too!!). Give me beer you can chew.

Living just down the road from the New Belgium Brewery, I also partake in my fair share of Fat Tires

I am also a huge fan of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, Pale Ale, Torpedo, and IPA. I grew up in Chico and worked at that Brewery while in college for a spell as well.

I am also a big Redhook fan and love their IPA. Bridgeport brewery also makes a good IPA and Stone makes a good pale ale and IPA

Tell them I'll drink more if they can get the price down .
Around here a six-pack goes for $8.99 and a 12 for $15.99 to $16.99. But the dang stuff grows on you.

Gotcha, but I'd rather drink half as much real beer. In fact that's pretty much what I'm doing anyway compared to the folks swilling down the "lites" at the BBQ, seafood boil or whatever.

Keystone Light and low sodium V8....

For a red, Gordon from Oskar Blues. Duck 911, you should check it out since it's local. 8 % alcohol.

The new Oskar Blues in Longmont is 300 feet from my work, so fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) I have had my fair share of their brew, too!!!

I like mine with Modelo Especial, lime juice, Maggi Sauce, low sodium tomato juice, and a couple dashes of hot sauce.

I used to use bloody mary mix, but 5 oz of that stuff has 54% of your daily allowance of sodium.

That's how I feel as well. When I head out to the college bars, you mostly see folks swilling the pitchers of cat pizz light. I'd rather spend the same on real beer, personally. A good brown ale or IPA is hard to beat in my opinion.

Spotted Cow.

That stuff makes it all the way to WA?

Alaskan Amber, Yuengling, or Dos Equuis

Yuengling has become my favorite.

Plan to have a Flying Dog Pale Ale with my steak tonight.Also,am planning to hit one of the micro breweries tomorrow nite with a hunting bud.I always have one of the old stand-bys like a porter or stout,and then something new.If my wife goes and will drive,I'll try another.At 22oz and 6%+ I limit myself to two and a meal.Boy,becomming mature sucks!

The pee/buzz ratio is way to high with beer for me to get too involved with it.

Diddo. Two is where I limit when drinking the large size premiums drafts. If I go for a third, then a buzz is on and only time makes that go away. I really don't make it to the pub too frequently though.

Like others here have said, I see no reason to settle for the lesser stuff. I'd rather savor a few premiums, then swill a twelve pack.
