USNRET Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 My favorite, brewed in Shiner, Texas.............. beer 034.jpg The local Tobacco World has 'the beer guy' there every Friday afternoon / evening with samples of various Shiner Bock and broadcasting on the local sports radio. I haven't made it there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) That's yours truly (ca 1969) hoisting a Sroh's long neck to celebrate the day we figured out how to dispense Stroh's & PBR for 20 cents/bottle from the frat house 10 cents/bottle Coke machine by putting an empty between each beer. Now that I reflect on it, probably was illegal. When I was in college I purchased this coke machine and converted it into a beer box. It still works and I have all the original gear to turn it back into a coke machine again. Not bad for a $50 investment. If you watch American Restoration on History Channel, you'll see that old Coke machines are worth serious money, especially when fully restored. Boxx, you were wise to hang onto the coin mech, etc. All I have left from the machine in the photo is the motor; no restoration happenin' there.

Marvel Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Usually, as my budget allows, I get Yuengling Lager, and our local grocery chain started having their Summer Wheat and Porter. I consider it flavor at a low price... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I had a homebrew American Ale last night - it was super tasty. Will keep it on my radar! Uh, don't look too hard or you'll be disappointed. My father in law brewed the batch from a Northern Brewer "American Ale" kit. I'm slowly savoring my 6 pack. i believe it was this one: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/american-amber-ale-extract-kit.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 he's a guy with many hobbies and his go-to beer is coors light. It's a fun way to pass the afternoon and I usually go over and keep him company while making the wort, and then i help him drink them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It is a fun process to watch. Irish roomie had a six gallon glass carboy/jug that he used. Usually the kits called for 5 gallon. He would stretch his abit. And our whole small block in Tallahassee Uptown were homebrewers who came over all the time showing off their flavors like extra hops added, licorice, which was surprisingly good. It is that little extra sucrose you know at bottling that gives it that little extra kick and carbonation. Yes, I would want to check his batch out too. Nice of you!

It was quite a sight when I brought that machine to my apartment. I drove all the way across Austin with it sticking out of my trunk.... Thanks for the tip on it's value.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The two beers I like the best are Sam Adams Boston Lager and Negra Modelo, both full-bodied and tasty, neither is watered down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 http://www.6xale.co.uk/theBeer.html Sensitivity to sulfites (typical beers and wines are the culprits) and resulting headaches make most not worth imbibing, but this ale doesn't upset the apple cart. Pretty difficult to find in the states, though. Good memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I had a homebrew American Ale last night - it was super tasty. When I was a kid the neighbor brewed his own beer all the time in his shop. He would also entertain me with science and hobby projects. One time he did something wrong. We could not go into the shop. Beer bottles were exploding and you could not predict when one would go off. I don't believe I ever got a chance to sample his brew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uts Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Bell's Two Hearted is a must have in my fridge, for sure. I can't forget about Dragonmead's Final Absolution either. It makes me thirsty just thinking about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to read about meade in the old Viking tales. Edited August 6, 2014 by billybob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
