mrjsbu96 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hmm, I guess my handle wouldn't be Blue Light if that that was not the case! "Only" $11.99 a twelver out here in New Jersey, which is why I always try and pick up those great new case of 28's when I am back in B-lo! Oh, and during playoffs, each goal is followed up with another WNY favorite - a shot of Crown Royal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Busch, Busch Lite, Keystone... and the occasional Bud Lite when we have extra money! Hey, I'm a teenager. I learn to deal with them. I think I speak for the whole board, as I'm inclined to do; that we do not condone, authorize or sanction underage drinking of any kind. :thumbsup: Busch, Busch Lite, Keystone... and the occasional Bud Lite when we have extra money! Hey, I'm a teenager. I learn to deal with them. Bud lite costs more than those others? They all are essentially the same thing anyway. Don't let corporate America sell you their labels. Drink the cheapest, nastiest swill you can find. Please read above post before adhering to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit151 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I continue to be amazed at how many of you folks out east drink Blue, or as I prefer to call it, Blah. My name for Labatt's Lite, I guess you call it Blue Light, is Lab-rats Lite. I work as a bartender, and we practically have to give the stuff away. I always know when someone is visiting our fair province from Ontario though. They're the only ones who drink it. Out here in Regina, Coors Light, Canadian, Bud, Pilsner and Kokanee are the top dogs. I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I believe our 'american' beers are brewed differently from yours, same name, different product. I'm sure our friend Rickshaw from BC is familiar with Kokanee. How can you go wrong with a beer named after a fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I believe our 'american' beers are brewed differently from yours, same name, different product. No beer, whether macro or micro, imported or domestic is really brewed any differently. The easiest way to make a distinction from beers that adhere to historical style guidelines (ie. micro brews) and the big macro beers like Bud, Coors, Miller, Molson, Labbatt etc. is the ingredients used. The macro beers are cheaper for one simple reason, they tend to substitute corn and rice for malted barley. You'll hear people say that these kinds of beers are "watered down. " That really isn't true though, they just substitute cheaper ingredients that don't lend a fuller bodied, maltier profile like an all barley malt beer does.

sabresfanmiami(oh) Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Last night I was drinking Blue. Tonight, I had a few Blues and then got started in on this 4 pack of Duvel. It's a Belgian golden ale that's 8.5% alcohol and damn tasty. It's pricy, but my g/f's parents bought it for me for one, and my g/f got her first semester law school grades today and did great so we're celebrating. And of course the Sabres are on, so why not celebrate!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_otto Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Seems like I drink Blue Light these days... and I do like a nice pint of Guinness from time to time. But the special treat for me, when I can get my hands on it, is Maudite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjsbu96 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 this hockey team keeps losing to the bruins of the NHL and teams that have only won 5 of their last 14 and i won't care what I drink as long as it keeps me from thinking about how quickly we've come back to earth....

frisky Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I'm not much of a beer drinker. I like mixed drinks more but for beer I like Molson Golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit151 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Actually, I rarely drink beer. I drink double paralyzers (helps coat the stomach) and sambuca shooters almost exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BU1(SCW) Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 When I was still in Buffalo it would be Blue Light. Now that I have been transplanted to Alabama its Miller Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Back in the late 80's Kokanee was the biggest beer going. It had a whopping 25-30% of the market in BC. Because of the no cross province border rules, you couldn't get Kokanee except here. Albertans used to drive here just to get it. Now, it's still a big player but you can get in more places in Canada. Myself, I like to drink Sleeman Draught in the summer. I bought some Busch the other day. Can't believe they make a light for it! US beers ARE light beers! The price is right and money's tight these days, so that's what I have on hand right now. I'd prefer a Captain Morgan's spiced rum and diet coke any day!! Mmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncsabre Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 For me it's Miller lite and then Coors lite when I run out of Miller. And when I do run out of beer, which doesn't happen too often I'll drink my wife's wine..Hell, only out of the bottle though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
