Schlitz tonight. How's that for sophistication, Luko?
I got some PBR in the fridge
PBR? They're still making that? I'm not a Schlitz fan, but I can appreciate where you're coming from. I bought a case of Harp today. Not sure why, it just looked up at me and said, buy me. If I've ever had a Harp, it's been in a bar and I can't remember if I liked it or not. I can't remember who I took home or didn't take home that night either, but I'm sure she was hot.
I call BS on that...you know what beer you had.lol
Vodka Martinis suck. Vermouth and Vodka with an olive, I should've known I wouldn't like them but I had to try it. Tasted like rubbing alcohol with a hint of sweat.

Try a shot of Vanilla Vodka, Shot of Creme de cacao, Shot of Coconut rum and a shot of Irish creme. Into the shaker with some ice and put that in a martini glass. Tastes like youre drinking a mounds bar!

Didn't they go back to the original PBR recipe thought i heard that somewhere
You heard that about Schlitz, not PBR. It was all part of a big marketing campaign last year. Of course, they actually reverted back to the original recipe in the 80's after that debacle with the cheapened recipe, but their reputation had already been ruined. So now they've got a marketing campaign and are pretending to have re-discovered the recipe that helped them rise to prominence.

I sill haven't seen Schlitz in a store around here. At least the non-Malt Liquer version.
It's very hard to find. Hard enough that wherever I go to buy it, I end up being known as "The Schlitz Guy." I have, over the years, gotten 4 bars to carry Schlitz, specifically for me. I've also got the contact info for a distributor who said he would deliver Schlitz directly to my house. If I were to go out to buy Schlitz this afternoon, I only know of 2 non-bars around here that I could reasonably expect to find it in stock. However, they would likely only have a few 12-packs on hand, and I would buy up all they had.
I think when I get off work tonight I'm going to crack open a couple Dos Equis and relax. I might have a smoke if I'm not too tired. might try my first 5 Vegas... not sure yet...
A little bit of both. If everything cost exactly the same, I wouldn't drink Schlitz as much as I do, but I would drink it often. It's like the 5 Vegas of beer. It is leaps and bounds ahead of other beers in its class, IMO (basic American-style lager).
If I am drinking an american style lager it is pretty much PBR I think it is as good or better then Budwiser,bud light, coors,coors light, MGD, Miller Lite and pretty much anything similar to those and for 11.99 a 30 pack it is definately my go to beer when I want to drink more then a couple beers. But If I want to have a beer with taste it is pretty much one of the following Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Guiness, Boulder Beer Company Hazed and Infused, Sam Adams Black Lager, A beer called Hop Devil but cant remember the maker, and wehn I want a refreshing light wheat beer on a hot summer day it is Sam adams White Ale or blue moon.
I've had it Andy. My review of it is basically, "the most interesting thing about this beer is how remarkably uninteresting it is." That makes it sound like I didn't like it, but I thought it was very good. It is totally lacking in any unique character, but it is as accurate a representation of a basic American Ale as you will find anywhere. Certainly a well-named beer
I agree with that, but we're also comparing an ale to a pile of lagers, which will inherently be different. There are times when I'm in the mood for a lager (like after exerting myself in the heat). But the American Ale doesn't have the watered-down taste of the standard american lager. It's good. I've still got one in the fridge. Maybe I'll have it tonight.
I love the American Ale. I disagree that its uninteresting. Is it complex? No not really but it has a wonderful flavor and has that great bitter hop finish that I love.

I didn't find it hoppy at all. In fact, one of the things I find refreshing about it is that is isn't overbearingly hoppy like a lot of the microbrews out there. I thought it had a cleaner finish than a lot of the pretentious beers around.

Interesting I found the finish very hoppy similar to Sam Boston Lager.

Finished off the Capt Morgan's with the Ramon Allone smoke - good combo
