Let's Go Blues

Has anyone had this beer and if so what do you think about it?

The first time I had it was at my brothers wedding reception two years ago in Minnesota. I had never even heard of it before that. Apparently it is really popular up in the north. It's just another American lager...

I often have to pick up cases for a friend in StL because it's not available in the immediate metro east. It is available in Clinton County, IL and since I visit my grandparents out there, I'm usually tasked with picking up a few cases to cart back to the city.

It's not bad for your BL, ML, etc etc type of beer.

It is rather smooth. I still prefer old fashioned Michelob out of all the Michelob family.

i've heard good things. ab also didn't used to carry bush ice here in stl, i learned about it in chicago (wince). it is actually delicious for an ice beer, i couldn't understand why they didn't sell it here. I guess it boils down to what the upper echelons think is 'marketing'

[beer snob]This discussion must be what it's like listening to the homeless discuss what kind of garbage is most delicious[/beer snob]

I've had it a few different times... it's not bad... I've probably had 10 or 12

This discussion is much better then reading about how fantastic you think you are.

Goddamn, I'm balls deep in your dome.

I dig what you're saying. I can, and do, drink ANY kind of beer. The only thing worse than a beer snob is a wine snob.

Like I always say, my two favorite kinds of beer are cold and free.

That wasn't me speaking, that was me imitating what a beer snob would say.

I really like Michelob when I'm in the mood for it. Haven't tried the Golden Draft.

I know, and I was just furthering your point because I agree with you.

Can you two stop fingerbanging each other?

Things slow at the glory hole today? Just be patient, we'll be right there. Don't get off your knees.

A lot of those are really shoddy statistics.

Well now we know who's no fun at a party.
