So we all have our favorite beers for different occasions. There is a beer we love in the summer, a post workout beer, a beer-and-pizza beer, and the list goes on. But is it possible that having good friends around can make a subpar beer taste really good? Over this Thanksgiving holiday I defiantly drank my fair share of beer, good and bad, as well as other wonderful intoxicants. But what was different about this thanksgiving was the situation. If you know me well enough you know that it's been a while since I have been able to tip back a few with some on my best friends due to the game of geographical hide and seek our benevolent employer has played with us. Thanks to some traveling on the part of three of them we managed to do that again for the first time in a while. Now getting away from her background and back to the topic at hand.
One night we decided that we wanted to relive some of the 213 glory days and picked up some hop product in these nice little compact metal cylinders. Back in college during our beer or bust, yet busted wallet days, we drank a lot of what we decided was the best bang for our buck: Milwaukee's Best Ice. I mean when you're a broke college student how can you beat a 30 pack for 13 bucks, and it packs 5.9% ABV in there! Well unable to find our old standby we grabed a package of Milwaukee's Best PREMIUM. Which turns out after some research to just be Milwaukee's Best with a package and marketing makeover, but whatever. The point is that none of it made it to the pong table. We drank all of it and enjoyed it, and we were sober when we started. Now no one can say this is a good beer compared to what I usually drink so that's definitely not it. I full and well believe right now that the friends I was surrounded by made all the difference in how enjoyable those beers were. Now do I dare try drinking the Beast alone? We shall see.
