Beer Review

I need to friggin' man it up around here. Have you been reading my DaddyPosts? Good lord, I sound like a domesticated pansy. So, in an effort to counter-balance the wimpy daddy posts I will present a review of the latest six-pack of beer I polished off and pissed out. I now present a short review of:
STONE IPA
I pick up this $10-ish dollar six pack at a local place at around lunch time on a Friday. With dinner I cracked open the first of these 6.9% alcohol beauties. From the first sip I knew these six hoppy tasting soldiers would all be going down tonight. And go down they did. The hazy golden color. The sweet hop aroama. How could I go wrong? All six, gone between 7:15 and 9:30 pm. I passed out watching a DVR'd episode of The Unit by 9:45....in retrospect this isn't quite as manly as I imagined. (cinemax softcore porn would have been more manly) But shit, it could have been worse, i could have been watching Ghost Whisperer re-runs.

Bottom line- Drink this beer-Its great!

  2. The mushy dad stuff makes you a whole lot more attractive to most of one half of the world's population. But any excuse for a beer, eh? ;)

  6. I agree with onehalfofaconversation. Nothing wrong with being a good, intellectual, proud parent.

  9. Hi Joe,
    Just wondering; out of the bottle consumer or in the glass tyoe ? I noticed that in Europe, they most often will drink beer out of a glass and in the States, it's out of the bottle.

    I'm only rarely a beer drinker- when it's hot or if I'm so inclined. Last brand gulped down- a Guiness in an Irish pub in Philly; hubby's last brand Dos equis ( sans moi).

    PS. One more vote for Daddy posts !

  10. Bruce: "I AM NOT DRINKING ANY FUCKING MERLOT!" ever see the movie Sideways. LOL, the Bachelor, egad.

    All: Daddy posts are inevitable.

    Barbara: I prefer using a glass, like in the pic. But I will drink right from the bottle too. I guess it depends on the beer. Cheap shitty beer is right from the bottle or can. Good beer gets a glass.

  11. I used to be a connoisseur of fine beers but not so much anymore. Sign of old age I guess. But I do like Maine's Allagash White. Never heard of that Stone IPA. Sounds great but I could never wolf down a six pack in a couple hours any more, not even back then!

  12. It's a great beer, and besides, the name makes it a Geological Beer - made for geologists!

  13. I love that movie "Sideways." So much that I bought it.
    (But I still drink Merlot!)

  14. We have an IPA on tap where I work, made in the state I live as well. It rocks the house! I haven't made it to your "emasculating" DaddyBlog yet, although I have to say, proud parents are all the rage.
