Wow, that's some shitty beer. Natural Light is my shitty beer of choice, though.

It's hilarious that they rip on microbrews all the time on commercials now but promote their "american style lager".

Heh.

Congratulations on being the skinniest girl at fat camp.

Evidently "American-Style" is a codeword for shitty beer

4/21/2008 10:52:54 PM

no... lager is

just that other people take more care to make their lagers not suck so effing much.
Its just a cheaper way to brew.

what kinds of beer are your favorites ???

4/21/2008 11:00:17 PM

good lord!! Was Old Style not in the running?

4/21/2008 11:01:20 PM

I've tried them all and haven't really been impressed by any. The Pilot Mountain Pale Ale tastes like drinking paper. I don't really mean to hate on the place, they have good macaroni and cheese, it's just that everyone in the greater Winston-Salem area thinks it's the bomb and it ain't.

It's also lame that other than their four or five beers, the only other option is Miller Lite. I understand that they're a small brewery and they want to push their brand, but if they're going to offer another beer, it could at least be something a step above Miller Lite.
