Four Roses got bought up and passed around for a while until it ended up under Kirin, who mainly uses it to distill for the export market. What they sell here in the states is reasonably cheap for its taste.

If you guys ever see Southern Tier beer for sale, do yourselves a favor and give it a try. It's a bit pricey but I've never had one of their brews I didn't like. Pumking in particular is a real treat.

do not order pbr at a bar!! don't do it!! buy it in singles at the shady corner store run by the guy who always stares slightly past you as he rings you up, then drink it alone in a badly lit room. this is the secret to a long life

there is a local bar that serves pbr tall boys for 2 dollars all night and i think thats a good deal, for beer at a bar also the urinal at that bar has a sticker for a band run by a guy i used to get in internet arguments about politics on livejournal with and i like to pee on it, it reminds me of the old days

Last time I had PBR was at a baseball game. Either Detroit or Cincinnati, I forget which. Beer sales at ball games confuse me because it's $9 for 16oz of Bud Light or $10 for 12oz of a local brew, but you have to hunt the local booth out and it's always shoved in the corner of the stadium furthest from your seat.

I remember when I first moved up here to College Station in the early 00s you could get Pearl in a can for 75 cents at the Chicken. Domestic chuggers (that's 32 oz) were $1.75/$1.25 HH pretty much everywhere. It was a good time and place to be a broke drunk.

Pearl is what LBJ drank when he drove his amphibious car around his ranch. He used to invite people over, not tell them it was an amphibious car, and then pretend the brakes were failing and drive into the lake.

speaking of getting drunk, anyone else seen the NeuNeoCon manifesto in the New Republic? some dorkus somewhere said it was magisterial and from where im standing it looks like a whole bunch of  that basically amount to "yeah american doesnt have a quote-unquote interest in dumbass foreign adventures, but we have to keep doing them. because: "also it posits americas choice between isolationism and intervention as though its a choice between being tokugawa japan and periclean athens. which is like, can i flip a coin and then kill myself instead?

It's interesting how much effort LBJ spent trying to project confidence, whether in confrontations with colleagues, or discussions with his tailor, or driving cars into lakes, when we now know (thanks to the taping system) how totally insecure he was that he'd be perceived as weak in his policy toward Vietnam and how much that insecurity became a crippling obsession.

The first day I was there I walked a few blocks to the statehouse in the 90+ degree weather with the crippling humidity and had so much sweat pouring down when I walked in that the security guards couldn't help laughing.

You know how there are good beers, made lovingly and individually bottled with a unique flavor but they cost a lot, and then there are cheap mass produced beers that taste like piss but are good for getting drunk? PBR is the best of the cheap mass produced beers.

Pedernales by Johnson City is a nice place. I'm at a restaurant/bar right now. Should I get chicken fried steak, a hot dog, or a chicken parm sandwich? Help!
