god damn. that better get you drunk forever. here's my justification if i go through with this deal. I am getting friends/fellow beer geeks to throw down probably $5-10 for me to hold a tasting event, that way i'm only out like $100 at most, also my tax return this year is $4600, booyah!

just one beer? If I paid that much, I wouldn't share a drop.

Holy bats, shitman! I was bumming the other day cuz I couldn't afford $11 for a 12 pack of Pils on seasonal closeout... Day-umn!!! Can't say I'd ever spend $220 on a bottle of beer, but whatever floats yer boat! Hope it's REALLY good!!!

Well, I just went down to the liquor store today and got my old special of a 6er each of Dos Equis/Hoegaarden, paid $18, and I'm perfectly happy. I agree with Will here. I wouldn't share any of that beer either. In fact, I think I would have to perform some sort of candlelight autoerotic asphyxiation vigil while being sucked off by a dozen college girls at the same time to feel like I was getting my money worth. But I hope too it's a great beer.
edit: yes I realized after typing this that the "autoerotic" part negates the "dozen college girls" part, I suck at being funny for real but am great at being funny by accident.

I bought Sam Adams Irish Red and Coastal Wheat. Haven't really had any Sam Adams before so I figured I'd try a few, Irish Red sort of sucks but Coastal Wheat is alright. Would not buy again.

I don't know what you guys have for "staple beers" in bars down in Georgia, but in New England, Sam Adams is about as exciting as getting Budweiser or Miller or something like that. It's not bad beer by any means but nothing I'd shit myself over.

Sharing is essential, as you drink it in 2oz. pours. And it looks like i've got a bunch of heads down on it so i'll let you guys know how it is.
and normally sam adams is fucking terrible (a cranberry lambic that isn't a lambic?) but i am intrigued by the utopias. please don't hate me.

A step up from Leinie's in most cases. Sam Adams Octoberfest + Pils are both excellent, and the Boston Lager is better than a hundred other beers I could list off the top of my head. I want to hear how you like the utopia!!! I might think you're a lil' crazy for spending that kind of dough on a single beer, but no hatin'.

I had some Leinenkugel Berry Weiss in my fridge a while back, I wouldn't buy that crap again though. Tasted like drinking a wine cooler.
My dad has Sam Adams in his fridge sometimes (he never really drinks beer on his own time, just has it around in case the occasion calls for it) so the times I drink it are when I'm raiding that fridge.

All of the Leinenkugel beers that I've had have been too sweet. Sunset Wheat tastes like goddamn fruity pebbles. I think the 1888 bock was ok, but of course it's seasonal.

The only Sam Adams I've had prior to last night was winter seasonal, which I did like. Didn't like Irish Red, the Coastal Wheat was alright.
The staples for beers in Georgia around my area rarely extend past the usual Miller, Bud & Coors bullshit. It's terrible. There is a pretty rad place in town that sells super thick burgers, brick oven pizza and has a brewery and they make some pretty good shit.

Speaking of my dad stocking Sam Adams...
He bought another variety pack and I'm having a Scotch Ale right now. Pretty good. All dark beers taste like chocolate to me in a way, which I like.

I'm drinking Stone Sublimely Self Righteous nice and hoppy with a solid roasted malt body, this recent trend of Black IPAs is alright in my book, even if it is a complete oxymoron.

Yep, the best Leinie's are 1888 Bock, which I didn't get this year, or the Fireside Brown, which I am still enjoying... The rest are really sweet + have no real malty flavor. Amber is OK during the summer, but Capital's is so much better and available everywhere Leinie's is. I got a new seasonal today; New Glarus Cabin Fever Honey Bock. So smooth, sooooooo malty, and it's sweet, but aftertaste-of-honey sweet. Don't think I'll be tired of it before they're gone.

PBR: The best shitty beer to buy at the store (with the possible exception of Milwaukee's Best).

What did you think of those $1.50 tall cans of Narragansett when you guys played Pawcatuck? That's the best price I've seen for them in a bar anywhere. That shit will get you FUCKED UP.

PBR: The best shitty beer to buy at the store (with the possible exception of Milwaukee's Best). I couldn't agree more with the first half, but I hate Milwaukee's Best. Though it's not the worst cheap beer I've had.

I had some pleasant experiences with Milwaukee's Best early on but the last time I bought a case, I took a sip of one and immediately spit it out due to how skunky it was. I eventually ended up taking them outside and shaking the shit out of all the cans and stomping on them, etc. That made for a fun 20 minutes or so.

on homeboys comment, pbr is rather creamy and delicious if you get the fresh stuff, totally my favorite beer for getting drunk because it's cheap and good (if you get the right stuff at the right place ya know) but also not bad if it's sat for a moment however: fav. beer, Blue Moon seconded by winter white ale made by Bell's here in michigan, they make oberon and bunch of other tasty beer.

PBR out of a keg is surprisingly great.

You have to order them a week in advance here, but it's so worth it.
