No, but we should. We could start an exchange we definitely have enough people who brew around these parts. It would motivate me to start brewing again.

It will be my morning project. I love seeing how creative some people get with their setup.

Mera Belga! Its like a Belgian white/wheat with a distinct banana & clove. It's filtered so its perfectly clear. One of my co-workers brought a 6 back from El Salvador while he was on vacation. Very tasty!

Not liking the taste of beer, and yet drinking Keystone to get drunk, is like needing to inflate the tires on your car, but preferring to do it with a bicycle pump with a broken handle instead if an air compressor.





SO many good tasting beers out there though, there must be something like you'd better, and likely with even higher ABV than Keystone.

Wow, that sounds delicious. I tend to not like South American beers. But one that sounds like a Belgian...yeah I would be down for that.

Keystone != real beer.

Mebbe one day you go out with me, we find real beers. Let me know when you're in Portland and don't have anything scheduled early the next day.

Edit: and have a place to sleep. A couch at my place is possible, depending. DEPENDING.

Lol, my parents live literally 15 blocks from your house, I'm pretty sure my mom hasn't completely turned my room into her office yet.

But thanks for the offer I'll let you know when I can work that out.

bitch drinks = $$

I was directing him toward a higher intoxification per dollar solution. Maybe some Everclear would be best.



At a mere $18/750ml, he'd improve his ABV by a factor of 23 or so.

Dude, Mr. Boston (or whatever your local $8/handle vodka is called) in Pomegranate Dry soda is quite a winner for hiding the taste of the alcohol while being able to hold a lot of it. Another more expensive but less obviously girly (since pomegranate dry is like bright pink) choice would be southern comfort and coke.

I'll have to try those. Last time I had ever clear it ended with me drinking it straight and chasing with honey jack. Not something I want to ever do again.

Oh come on man, think of the economy to be found there! It's just a simple matter of dosage adjustment. You're just used to being at the other extreme.
