The Beer Gardens

[Hopeless Semantic]

This is a thread aiming to bring all the beer afficionados together. Whether you're Pabst Blue Ribbon drinker or a Chimay connossieur, we hope that you find a new brew to enjoy or offer up some of your own private reserve for all to enjoy. So, without further adieu, I bid you good tidings and a hearty salud!

I came up with an idea in the drunk thread. (Imagine that!) Check it out HopelessSemantic~

[TomAz]

[TomAz]

also, I like the thread name. good job.

Damn...that idea would've been cool. I wish there was a way to change the name of the threads. But I'm sure there is a growing sentiment that we need to change the Heneiken stranglehold on beer choices for Coachella...

Especially for a festival that provides us with a variety of foods--why can't we have a variety of beers? I know that a million brands would vie to serve their refreshing goodness @ the Polo Grounds, eh?

[miscorrections]

Yeah, but would they also contribute such a giant chunk of money? With minimal advertising?

[TomAz]

every dollar heineken spends in sponsorship is a dollar less GV needs in ticket revenue.

though yeah i'd spend a few bucks extra to make guinness and chimay available.

[Hopeless Semantic]

Yeah, but would they also contribute such a giant chunk of money? With minimal advertising?

Yes. I would like to imagine that another rival beer company would contribute money and do it with minimal advertising. Festivals are hot right now and to have alternatives could bolster the money GoldenVoice earns from their beer sales. I would spend more money if there were say, Guiness or Chimay as TomAz mentioned.

CHIMAY + RADIOHEAD COACHELLA 09 WOOT WOOT

[Hopeless Semantic]

Fuck Chimay + Anyone = Coachella 09 is ape shit bonkers for me!

[miscorrections]

Aren't you people sick of Radiohead yet? God.

Anyway, beer. Beer beer beer.

[Hopeless Semantic]

What are some of your beer choices miscorrections?

[TomAz]

If you're tired of Radiohead, you're tired of life.

[TomAz]

but yes. beer beer beer.

[miscorrections]

What are some of your beer choices miscorrections?

I do not have much experience, not being old enough to really go forth and try a lot. But I do tend to like ales, mostly amber and brown. I also like Asian beers for some reason.

[Hopeless Semantic]

If you enjoy eating Thai food, this is the beer you want to have with your pad thai or nok larb.

[miscorrections]

Good to know.

Wow you just turned 20 so its understandable that your experience is young. Which Asian beers? I am pretty knowledgeable of those. Sapporo, Tsintao, Chang, and Singha are some of my personal favorites.

[miscorrections]

Oooh I love Tsingtao. Singha too.

[TomAz]

KIRIN ICHIBAN! NUMBER ONE!

[miscorrections]

Calm down, Tom.

[TomAz]

you just don't like japanese people, racist.

[Hopeless Semantic]

KIRIN ICHIBAN! NUMBER ONE!

While I love Kirin with my sushi and sashimi, I always seem to get indigestion from it after dinner. I usually have to drink Sapporo or Asahi to avoid that. If you really want to get down on the Japanese beer, try Orion, Yora Yora, or Suntory. Those are not often offered at the mainstream sushi places, but if you have a niche sushi place they'll order it for you.

[TomAz]

but Kirin comes in the big bottles

[Hopeless Semantic]

So does Asahi...and sometimes they have the Sapporo in the big bottles. If I do get Kirin, I won't order the spicy rolls that a sushi place may have. That's so I won't have to hurt the rest of the night lol.

[miscorrections]

I've gotten Sapporo in big bottles before and I approve. That's the wonderful thing about (most) Asian restaurants - they don't care how old you are.

[TomAz]

Asahi tastes so .. i dunno. dull, I guess. it might as well be bud light. to me.

[Hopeless Semantic]

Coupled with cherry saki, I don't think any beer will taste remarkably stronger than bud light lol.

I'll settle for just having my name idea be cool. Can't really recommend beer though...Perhaps a tequila thread will pop up one day...Ole'! BTW. Stagecoach was sponsored by Bud, I believe. I think it's a deal Goldenvoice has with the local beer distributors to "share in the wealth," so to speak.

[Hopeless Semantic]

Tequila + Me = Danger.
