I frequently look at beer advocate while standing in beer sections of stores.

meh i dont think its snobby i just think when you have experienced flavor explosions in your mouth like none other from microbrews you realize that all of that budweiser, pbr, miller lite you chugged in high school/college is piss water.

but seriously if i'm tailgating i stay away from ipa's because ill black out.

I agree. 2+ years ago I wouldn't drink anything other than Bud Light. Now I can barely drink BL at all. I'm certainly not "educated" enough to be a snob but I do like getting people to try new beers if they're not big into craft.

No "session" beer is typically a lower alcohol beer with the same taste. Many breweries put out a "session" beer, especially during the summer months. I like Founders all day IPA for starters. Just search and you'll find plenty of info out there. Try beer advocate or rate beer.

This was going to be my recommendation, too. Sessions like All Day are great for big drinking days without giving up too much flavor.

The downside is the price.  Don't expect much of a discount because of lower ABV, at least when buying 6-packs.  Bars / restaurants may vary.  You run a bar right?

You're right about that for sure. I, personally, would rather pay a few more $ for good flavor these days.

No I don't run a bar. I host some events at bars. I do all of the ordering for those so I have a decent familiarity with cost of beers, etc...

Sorry but everytime I see the words "pale ale" I think of Stiffler downing that spunky beer in American Pie. IPAs might be the best thing in the world but that scene is hopelessly stuck in my brain.

 

I'll keep it basic with Killians Red or Guinness Draught.

So, your goal is to make yourself puke before going into the stadium? BC that mix will definitely do it.

 

I can't begin to say how bad it is for you lol

 

You can use Mich Ultra and sugar-free Monster. I wont judge...

I always start my drinking off by sipping one or two solid IPAs; a good 6-7% abv to get the ball rollin'. My buddies and I have called it "teeing off" since we lived in the college dorms. I then proceed to drink alcoholic water all day/night long, more commonly referred to by its product name of Busch Light.

Want a beer easy to drink and low on calories?

Becks Light. 64 calories a bottle and the same Becks taste.

[Toker Smurf]

Get Bent Mountain IPA (from local Parkway Brewing)

Yuengling (if I'm going on the cheap)

I honestly don't enjoy being inebriated at football games. I find that I can't focus on the game or really watch everything on the field. A slight buzz is the key.

I find that if I'm not inebriated at football games, I can't enjoy myself, because I'm just plain giddy when I'm drunk, and it takes the pain of being a fan away when they decide not to play well, and makes the joy of them succeeding even better!

By the way, my neighbors are craft beer bro's which I respect, but holy poo they act like wine connoisseur's with their beer. I enjoy beer without being a snobby know it all douche. I love my bro's though.

I have a couple of friends like that. They get all uppity when a bar doesn't have some sort of IPA for them. They have walked out of bars because they can't get their precious beer. I mean c'mon man. You don't have to have some fruity damm beer to have a few. It can be down right embarrassing.

Or go to a card game. There are 45 different beers in the fridge. Damm.

I like any beer as long as it is cold. Sure some taste better than others. But I don't act like a spoiled frat boy if I have to drink a Bud instead of some craft brew.

I used to think of myself as a beer snob cuz I drank a lot of imports. But I got nothing on these new craft heads.

Some of these folks make wine connoisseur's look tame.
