Although, when I was maybe 19 or 20, we were at a drive in theatre. I was opening beer bottles using the bumper of my truck. well, who knows how many beers into the night I was, but I opened a new beer took a drink and noticed that I was drinking from a broken bottle. I had an epic failure opening that beer and broke the top off the bottle and didn't notice until the sharp glass hit my lips. So, in that instance, I would have preferred a dirty glass (but I wasn't OCD then either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 I'm drinking from a glass now (because it holds 20 ounces and I didn't want to return to the fridge in 10 minutes). I tell ya -- right out of the bottle tastes better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 after extensive research, I've concluded that I just like beer -- anyway. just not Budweiser. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I bet you might saw a line at the way I saw Coors Light served over ice.... not frosted mug or even a bottle out from a tub of ice.... on the rocks. Couldn't bring myself to doing that. I was known for drinking the room temp dark Heineken from their display. It was always fresh... I was a regular. Bar at the bowling alley where I worked. We got 2 pau hana [at the end of our shift] drinks I like this... done it. . anyone surprised? the poll I prefer in a glass at the brewery. There was a place in Tucson, Nimbus Brewery, ..go see a band. Drink half a beer and sit on the floor. A shorter fall.... They had some decent old bands. I remember Savoy Brown Toured some small breweries my first trip to Australia..My buddy took us in a big loop from one to another until we got back to his place. I don't really remember much of that. That whole trip was an adventure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NADman Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Grolsch hasn't been available here for 6-8 months. It's back and I had one with my lunch today. Liked it out the bottle, room temp. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 My favorite beer is Belhaven Scottish Ale and for some reason they haven't sold it in our area since before last Christmas. Does anyone else have access to it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iaRIVR Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 If it's a beer you want enjoy then always glass or you don't get the aroma! That's half the deliciousness right there. I put straight from the bottle though, since I am usually still putzing when I crack my first one and too lazy to get a glass. Current favorite brewery- Insight https://www.insightbrewing.com/ Only distribute in MN though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my brother lived there, that was his favorite -- I can find here; but at only one store and they charge over $5 each; but they are 20 oz. I like it as well because it is slightly on the bitter side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they had it in a hotel room I stayed in at room temperature, although I don't remember how it tasted. Fwiw, I don't think it's a premium beer in Germany cuz I didn't stay in classy places.

I'll impress people with my physique or guitar playing and drink what I like. actually, I have Modelo Especial in the house now and it's time for a refill. Stay well.

Right now I am appreciating a seasonal beer by Stella Artois called "Summer Solstice" in a pilsner glass. Prost! I do like Stella, although I've never tasted the summer solstice. When I first came to Portland for my brother's medical care, there was a bar & grill across the street from the hotel. We went there for lunch and they had a special going on ... $5 Stella's and you got to keep the Stella glass. So, I got a few of them. I stopped working a few years ago because I was just getting tired of it. People told me that I was too young to retire; but I was never one that listened to others -- I do regret it. Too much time on my hands has not been kind to me -- plus, it cost me quite a bit financially to retire. I'm getting by just fine; but miss all that extra cash.
