Beer I Actually Like

Today I figured I would review a beer that I have not only sampled, but enjoyed, and hold in a high regard! Ain't that some shit?

Southern Tier Imperial Pumking Ale

Price: About $7

This beer is amazing, even though I'm a bit ahead of schedule. It's creamy, delicious, and pays homage to a pagan Celtic spirit, which is always fun. To get in the early Halloween spirit, I watched the Lars von Trier movie "Antichrist" and drank this beer which was pretty intense. So now, to come down a bit, I'm having a Foster's and watching The Big Lebowski.

                                                         "FILL THIS WITH BEER"

Anyway, I've blindly enjoyed pretty much every beer I've had from Southern Tier, and this one was no exception. This might be the best pumpkin beer I've ever had, it's not too sweet, it doesn't have heavy nutmeg flavor, and it gets you good and crunk like 2002 era Lil Jon.

                                                  some things that are not dead, should be

The main problem I find with most types of pumpkin beer is the aforementioned heinous amounts of nutmeg that is usually crammed into said beer. This beer has more of a caramel flavor, and light carbonation. Also, the color is pretty.

                                                      If you drink too much.... pumpkins.

Overall, I figured it was a fun idea to review a quality beer. Southern Tier is an amazing brewing company, I might just have to review their 2X IPA. Which means.... drinking.

Beer Hell Part 2

In this edition of Beer Hell I'd like to discuss Miller 64, a beer that is marketed at the active-lifestyle crowd, and is meant to be consumed while on a treadmill or a snowboard..... or something.

I bought this beer under the pretense that I was actually buying beer. Instead, Miller has somehow jumped genres and is making some sort of golden soda that almost makes me feel drunk if I drink 5 or 10 of these.... things. As expected, there's not a whole lot to this beer flavor wise, but it is nice that it's low on calories. This is a beer that you can jog with, take to Zumba, or just kick it with your dog listening to Madonna's "Like A Prayer" in your tartan plaid green boxer shorts. Interesting imagery, no?

                                                          Note the classic Casio watch


This is a semi refreshing beer that one could really rage with, were they so inclined. I will probably bring this beer next time I go "fishing", which is Irish for "boat drinking". Honestly there's not many choices in the low-calorie beer market, but I would probably go to Michelob Ultra over this, although I do like the retro logo.

                                                       
"THOR NEED TO GET ON THE STICK! THOR NEED LOWER CALORIE ALTERNATIVE!"





Overall, the more I drink this beer, the less I like it. It's got a very faint flavor that my barbarian palette cannot properly detect, and it makes me long for the full flavor Fosters I have in the refrigerator.

                                             Try Googling "Drunk Australians", it's fun.


It's summertime so this beer is a logical choice right now. That's about the nicest thing I can say about it. ENJOY!
