What Keg beer would you get??
 

Yep you read correct. Its a kosher question tho. One of my alum brothers is having a birthday party on friday and I am in charge of getting the keg. I'm not getting an import. I want something that everyone will like. So I am assumnig one of the lite beers. What would you suggest?

Might as well get yourself some Miller Lite.

Fat Tire, but I don't know if they have that by you.

ETA: If they don't have it and you're not going to get anything good, PBR is your best choice.

I read lifesaver's post quickly, and I thought that he wanted Kosher beer. :)

Fat Tire is awesome...I've only had it a couple of times, but I wish they sold it around here.

If you hadn't said Lite beer, I would recommend Killians. However, I'd go with Coors Light as a generic light beer.

Well, that would be easy! It would be He'Brew--The Chosen Beer. They sell it at the deli around the corner. But, all beers might be kosher. I don't know.

I was about to suggest all my favorites (Brooklyn Lager, Stella) but remembered that you're not buying an import, and you probably can't get Brooklyn Lager. So, yeah...PBR is probably your best bet. People might complain, but that keg will be tapped.

Shiner should be plentiful in kegs out in the Republic of Texas...

Just remember, when it comes to keg beer, nobody's ever gonna complain about the swill, especially if it's ice-cold. Just avoid Old Millwater or Milwaukee's Beast like the plague.

If ya must do Coors, get the regular and not the Light. I dunno why, but I can't hack the taste of Piss Light.

Smart girl.

Coors Light, the Switzerland of beers.

Natty Light, PBR or Ole English

Keep it in the hood homeboy.

Yeah, I'm from Laguna...what bitch!

If you have to get light, it's gotta be Miller.

I don't like light beer. If I had to drink a light beer, it would be Miller Lite.

That said, don't do it. Get real beer. You should be able to get a keg of premium beer. When I lived in Tallahassee, Mike's Beer Barn had a great selection of beers, and with just a few days notice, almost any beer was available in a keg.

Or Colt 45.

I think Andy was more getting at the twin spectres of good beer:

1 - it's cost-prohibitive in keg form (generally a 1/2bbl of even something like Sam will run over 100 when it's all said in done, and a 1/6bbl of a great american beer like grant's perfect porter will run 60 . . . )

2 - most people flat-out don't like good beer, and would prefer light beer by a large margin


--

I'd say that Coors Light is something everyone will be able to drink, while Bud Light is the most popular in the US (but miller people will whine like children) - frankly though most people can't tell w/out peeping the keg what it is.

If I had to drink light beer, I'd cry wee wee wee all the way to the liquor store to get something else. ;)

Quiet there, beer snob.

Ha.

TROOF.

Molson Ice.

Forget the keg just buy a couple dozen Hurricanes.

Canada: Keiths

USA: Yengling(sp?), or any quality Sam Adams...

if you were sittin' around the tailgate of a truck and drinkin beer with him and some other brothers, what beer would he be drinking...that's the beer you should get.


on a side note, some of guys left a case of Natty Light outside in the heat and it went skunk, and got rained on, and run over by a truck, and became good again somewhere along it's adventure. so it's our group's beer of choice for being the only beer to go through the gauntlet and having "World's Largest Recycler of Aluminum Cans" on the can.

Flush twice. It's a long way to Golden (Colorado, home of Coors)

HAHAHA - hadn't heard that in a long time!:p

Yuengling is my favorite beer! You made a good choice. It's made here in PA (Pottsville.) :)

If it didnt hurt so bad it would be funny....
 

So I chose Coors.

I could have easily spent HALF the cash (Cause no one who said they 'd pitch in, did) and just got a variety of cases, but the new girlfriend, (his, not mine, lol) who was throwing the party insisted I buy a keg, so I did.

Anyway, I went to the keg place and backed the truck up. They loaded in the keg, liner, tap, etc. I'm not gonna lie, I was an undergraduate a a chapter who ACTUALLY followed our Risk Management Rules that said NO KEGS. I saw MAYBE 3 kegs in 5 years, and the peopel who rolled up with them those few times got in HELLA trouble from Exec. So I rewally had limited exparience with kegs. I probably had more experience from high school than college.

Back to the story, so they all load up the materials. I drive over to Kenny's house (where the party was) and all decide to unload everythign myself. Partly cause no one offered to help, but two, cause I've been going to the gym and think I'm all swole now, lol. So I unload the liner, ice, tap and cups and take them inside. Heavy, but not overwhelming. Then I go back to my truck and try to unload the FULL 200lb keg (not realizing it weighs 200 lbs) by myself.

It starts to roll. So like a dumbass, I decide to use my LEG to stop the roll out of the back of my truck (still thinking the keg only weighs 50- 75 lbs). So the keg drops off my tailgate and hits my leg full on at the side of the knee and buckles it, like that dude in the NBA whos out for the season, cause it bends my knee where and in a direction its not supposed to EVER DO - all sideways, dropping my ass to the ground as the keg rolls out into the street.

Kenny's mom's boyfriend (and probable husband # 7) runs out to help. Goes straight to the keg, rescues it. Sees me on the ground and asks how I am. Once I can utter a word that isnt an explicitive, I tell him that once the feelign comes back into my leg, I am sure I'll be OK.

Eventually, the feeling does return to my leg but it now hurts like hell. Cant walk up or down the stairs and the damn keg is still full. MAYBE 10 people drank outta it.

Bastards. Dear god its gonna hurt like jesus in the am. Be all stiff and shit too. I best be able to figure out how to get some vicodin outta this deal, thats for damn sure.

Man, that sucks, but it is a funny story...

coors light...i wish dos equus came in a keg.
lifesaver..poor baby. your going to be multicolored for a bit.

Re: If it didnt hurt so bad it would be funny....
 

I'm sorry, and I hope your leg feels better, but that's a DAMN good story. Glad to hear you went for the Coors.

Aww, I'm sorry and I hope you feel better...



...but that's what you get for buying Coors. ;)

(I'm personally biased against the Coors family, so that's why I'm hatin'.)

Feel better, Andy.

Thanks everyone. Hurts like hell, but I'll be ok.

Learned my lesson tho...

Go with killians...its cheaper than heiny and chicks like it.

Yes, funny story. :D Get well though. :)

Let's talk about how wonderful Brooklyn Lager is.

If you go on www.brooklynbrewery.com, you can look at each of their brews and they'll tell you what foods go best with it. I had a few delicious Brooklyn Lagers with tomato and eggplant pizza last night.

So I'm looking at their site, and they offer free tours: http://www.brooklynbrewery.com/Events/BreweryTour.asp

Sounds like a field trip is in order.
