OK, yeah, by the 3rd day it better have started off really good to still want to drink it.
That's about 10-11 pints, great if you're having people (that like beer) over

They don't make some gadget that will attach a CO2 cannister to them?

Probably a wood-looking laminate. No need for coasters

Sorry about this Bob. Sucks. I was there. Modern medicine can keep them going, but at what cost and shape? Hope it works out for the best.

Sorry to hear this Bob. My dad was in a bad accident a few years back. We had the option of keeping him alive, but he had so much brain damage that he's never recognize us again or breathe on his own, let alone be able to talk to him again. Sad shit.

Hoping for the best dude.

And yet the bottle opening still closely resembles the butthole. That’s a dang opportunity lost.

yep!

from my experience, they always have at least 6 pack bottles and the big 24 oz cans. The 12 pack cans can be a little spotty.

i was in line at the gas station the other night, and a true white trash fellow (buying 8 icehouse tallboys) was discussing how much he liked it with the other white trash fellow behind the counter because it tasted "sweet." the fellow behind the counter strongly agreed. the customer fellow then related a truly heartbreaking story about how he couldn't find icehouse when he was on vacation so he was regrettably forced to consume natural light, which caused him great displeasure.

Was it sweet as in not salty, or sweet as in “Dude, that pleather jacket looks sweet!”?
Never mind. Doesn’t matter. America is fucked.

it was the former, but i can also guarantee one or both of these gentlemen own said pleather jackets, like emblazoned with UM logos from 15 years ago.

If you’re used to tall boys, you’ll be disappointed with Bob’s stash.

Spotted this at the corner store on the way home. Never heard of it before. Unity Vibration in Ypsi. Kombucha Pale Ale. Gluten free. 7% ABV $15 a 4-pack.

Don't usually go for weird beers but this one seemed extra strange so I bought it. Chilling in the fridge. Not sure when I'm going to build up the courage to crack one open.

Cracked one. Immediately foamed up out of the bottle. Not like regular beer suds though. Slightly larger bubbles. Stuff is very effervescent, sort of like champagne.

The taste is different from anything I've had. Quite sour. Can't say I love it but I also don't hate it.

They had tall boys, 6 pack bottles and 12 pack cans of Old Style.

Ended up grabbing a 30 pack of Strohs and the wife wanted a bottle of Jameson.

Cracked a second bottle, very carefully.

Put the bottle opener on it every few minutes for over half an hour to relieve pressure, but it kept hissing. Finally took it outside and popped the cap. Stuff must be loaded with live yeast.
