Still about the fucking Olive Garden? You guys only have a billion chain restaurants in the States. Do you guys (in general) hate cooking or something?
The best COPS Ive ever seen was when they found two Mexicans behind a dumpster at McDonalds huffing golden spray paint. They were so high they didnt know what the fuck was going on. I got to download that COPS torrent sometime. Fucking great.
Sorry to revive the old debate but... In brewing reproducibility IS QA. Bacteria is what causes bad beer. Also, SAB MillerCoors has horrific shipping practices, they're beer is much more likely to be skunked. They also overpack pallet so beers will burst during shipping. Some of those coors cans you're drinking were bathing in old skunked beer on the truck. Bud doesn't allow shit like that.
I think any of the most popular macrobrews are overpriced when compared to the cheaper yet similar budget brand beers, and too close to some microbrewed beers that are worlds better. Thus, I buy either Natty Ice (if I want to get sloppy) or a nice porter or stout if I want to enjoy one quality beer at a time. Throw whiskeys into the mix and everyone wins!
Today has been a good day, overall. I took a drive up to a nearby microbrewery ("micro" fits it - it's in a town that's hardly even a dot on a map), and bought a branded glass and some beer. But that's not the half of it. The best part were the signs warning drivers of winding roads. So between the windy roads, lack of any other traffic, and the not-yet-ploughed compated snow, I had a fun time with the car's traction control. Not too much fun, mind you. And I saw four deer. A good day.
Just saw episode 1 of Portlandia... fucking hilarious. They even have a hippie class mentioned that's called "Tucker Max Protest Organizing" that's offered to Steve Buscemi.
I like how the performer for the halftime show of the Green Bay - Chicago game has to be billed as "American Idol Season 9 winner". What season is Idol on these days, anyway?
This statement displays a fundamental ignorance of brewing. Many things cause bad beer - bacteria, poor ingredients, and improper brewing methods among them. Take, for example, the skunky smell and flavor that accompanies Carona and other beers shipped in clear glass bottles. This is the result of a chemical reaction triggered by light. Your beer can be unaffected by bacteria and still taste like crap. http://www.winning-homebrew.com/skunked-beer.html And to make a final point on what makes a beer "good" -hey, if you like the taste of a particular beer, more power to you. But to state that a "good" beer is simply "whatever beer you happen to like" is utter foolishness. For example (I love examples), if you've never had anything other than Night Train, and you like it, it only means that you have an uneducated palate, not that Night Train is a good wine. Here is a food example - you may LOVE McDonalds hamburgers. Fuck, maybe you'd kill your mother for one. But to say that they are good, i.e., on the same level as a Five Guys or In-n-out, is absolutely ridiculous. It only means you like crappy burgers. Conduct a thought experiment, extended to other things in your life, and perhaps you'll finally be convinced.
Dude, that's too long a post in here. I'm too baked for to be performing fast food experiments and shit. It's the Drunk Thread. Say something weird. You lost me at "This".
On this topic, something interesting: the brewery I went to makes unpasteurized beer (they just filter it with diatomeceous earth). This isn't particularly remarkable. But what is remarkable is the very quick expiry date. Their standard beer, they say, is good for about 8 weeks only - and that's under refrigeration. If it's left out in warm temperatures, or out in the sun, for even a day or two, it gets right fucked. A cousin of mine once made the mistake of doing this, and then drinking the beer, and he reports that it wasn't a fun time. Strange, because I've kept beer for months on end in rather warm temperatures and although it does affects the taste a little bit, it's still good to drink. I think this has the potential to make Plato's prisoner's dilemma accessible to the vast majority of the public.
Ahahaha Cuntler's out of the game. Fucking priceless. You think Aaron Rodgers would sit down in that situation? Fuuuuuck no.
I don't want to get into a whole thing here; the drunk thread isn't really a good place for an argument on semantics but the term "good" by itself is entirely qualitative which means you can't precisely measure it and it depends on the definition it's given. That means if I define a beer as good, it's good to me. It doesn't matter if my palate is educated or not. In closing, Bud Light is good, I'm going to go drink some more. Fuck the haters (or h4terzzzzzzz as the kids say).
i've drank half a .750 of bombay during this packers game since halftime. GO PACK GO!!!!! If the packers lose to the 3rd string QB i'm gonna fucking kill myself.
Oh my god, please don't post stuff like this about beer when you don't know what you're talking about. I know you read something one day about skunky beers while you were drinking your awesome bottle of stella and wondering why it tasted like feet, but that doesn't mean you're the next Michael Jackson. Yes, skunked beer makes beer taste bad. Skunked beer is caused by light. You should be proud that you know that one thing really well. HOWEVER, we were having a conversation about quality assurance in brewing. Skunked beer does not happen at breweries. OK, fine, skunked beer happens because brewers oblige idiot consumers who think clear and green bottles are cooler than brown ones. But, see, I didn't say skunked beer. I said bacteria causes BAD beer. Beer ruined in production, not during/after distribution. So if you get a can of MGD that tastes like someone shit in it? THAT'S bacteria. THAT'S caused by poor quality and low brewing standards.
