Nickelbrook Naughty Neighbour APA and a fresh pack of Belmonts.

If the only beer you've had that you think is swill is Blue Moon you're either:

1. The most fucking pretentious douche on Earth
2. Have lived an empty life without experiences with Keystone Light, Natty Light, etc.
3. Not really a drinker


As for my answer, a good non-binge drinking beer is Green Line by Goose Island. Summer Shandy or a Radler if you're outside. I only smoke cigars so nothing to say on the cigarettes.

Wait, what's wrong with Blue Moon?

Sierra Nevada Torpedo, Fat Tire, New Glarus's Moon Man.

It doesn't really taste like beer, man.

+1 Gen_ Lee for the Moon Man.

My fav is J.W. Dundee's Honey Brown. Abita Turbo dog is good

Pete's Wicked Ale

I had a brew called Arrogant Bastard Ale once. Loved the name but the taste wasn't to my liking.

I started brewing my own with Brewer's Best kits. Irish porter was so delicious I really couldn't believe I made it myself. My next try was an "American amber" - I liked it, but the carbonation was inconsistent from bottle to bottle. Next up is oatmeal stout, I'm very excited but waiting a few days for an old friend to move back to town so we can brew it together. Then a mere five weeks of waiting.....

Beer - Orkney Dark Island, Everards Tiger or Carling/Carlsberg on a hot day.

Cigarettes - anything but Marlboro. Gitanes for preference, or hand rolled from whatever cheap tobacco is available.

Utica Club or nothing.

Way back in the day, I drank a lot of Pete's Wicked Ale...I don't think it distributes around here anymore, though. Nice callback.

My favorite current beer is Soft Parade by a microbrewer called Shorts. They sampled it at the grocery store here since it's a relatively local company, and it's freaking delicious. I've bought nothing else since, although I often get gifted random beer.

Founder's Breakfast Stout is a new favorite. Surly Furious is quite good. Bell's Oberon in the summertime, or any of the silly hophead beers (Dogfish Head, etc) that aren't very good, but well, I like hops. For a cheap beer on a hot day a Sierra Nevada pale or a Heineken are good. American Spirits when I used to smoke, though I thank god every day that I quit a number of years ago. I actually rank swill like Blue Moon, Sam Adams, Honey Brown, etc below Beast and Nati Light because at least those beers aren't pretending to be anything other than alcoholic piss water to get you drunk. Like a good stout, or a good porter, or a good IPA. Can handle a good lager. Not really a fan of the Belgians, good or otherwise. For my money, Founder's and Bell's are two of the most consistently good craft breweries in the US

Guinness, Guinness, and more Guinness. Hold the ciggies. Actually, a good IPA never goes astray. Nor does the odd case of Coopers Sparkling Ale. :)

Marlboro lights and fat tire when I'm feeling classy, PBR and Newports when I'm feeling trailer.

Copers Ale ( approx 5.8 % alcohol ), "cloudy & fine"
or Coopers Pale Ale
they also sell "Home Brew" kits

Pike's Oakbank Beer. (Henry Pike, founder of H. Pike & Co., was my great-grandfather)

Red Chair IPA

(Technically they call it a NWPA - NorthWest Pale Ale)

Look it up. That shit is Good.

They don't have IPAs in Senegal

Like... I would choke out a baby goat for an IPA rite nao
