Aluminum is a lot better than glass at protecting the beer from sunlight.  That's the only big difference I can think of.  I think it just keeps the beer fresher.

aluminum is also stellar for memory retention...  al's-something........
i think.....
or was it pumpkins?

Herded the big group of 6th graders out of my house about 30 mins ago, so am enjoying big glasses of a New Zealand white while enjoying the view of my guillotine and passing out candy.

That was your pumpkin guillotine?

Wow.

Having a few Red Stripes and hanging out with the gf giving out candy to the beggars. Only had 2 so far. Usually lots more by this time.


Also, the gf thought it would be ok to let her son go running round the neighborhood with a real 29" wood chopping axe as part of his costume. I said "hell, as long as he's careful with it and doesn't go swining it around all willy nilly I dont see a prob" Its really dull anyway. We'll see what happens though.

Thanks. I was quite happy with how it turned out. I did have to tie the blade tightly, as the kids wouldn't leave it alone once they realized it "worked"

Amstel Light. 

I needed a couple sixers after wrecking-ball'd someone's door. 

Stop at local corner upscale Beautiful People hangout.  Prerequisite 25y/o douchebag is in knotted tie and coat ensemble over yonder.  It's 12:05, and I gave him a perfunctory laugh.  He has two big red gin blossoms on his face, high color.  Chubby blonde kid, core temp is probably about 104 in that coat.  He'll be okay. 

Bar girl (cute):  "Whats up?"

Me (not cute):  "Hey, not much.  Got sixpacks to go?"

Yep.

Like, whatchu got?

Everything...  (she begins the list..)

How about two sixes of Amstel?

Amstel Light, she says. 

"I know, you can't get "Amstel" in America, only "Amstel Light".", I reply.  I'm tall and ugly and hairy, and you can smell the leather of my awesome coat, hear it creak like a battleship.  I have laid the groundwork for her to bring Amstel Light to people who request Amstel, authoratitatively, and then impart the wisdom "They don't sell Amstel in America."  Knowledge is power.  I have empowered her, and for that she is grateful.  Outwardly she shows no sign.  I sense Aztec blood, they are a stoic people.  She will make a fine Lieutenant in the Uprising.


That, then?

Yeah, two.

She goes away for a while, comes back..  "Twenty-One" she exclaims over the din.  I look haggard, my coat is older than her.  I know she's not asking me for ID.

That means, these sixes are 10.50 each.  I wince. 

You got white Sambvvka, cold?

Yep. 

Lets have one..

She brings it, I knock it down.  I give two twenties, tell her keep a five.  She smiles, says thanks.

Brings change, I stuff it away.  "That guy looks ridiculous," I say, indicating the jacketed heat-stroke victim.  She smiles, says yep.

Off I go.

Double Dewars, rocks.  She wasn't shy about it, so I had four or five of those.

Then I had two Sam Octoberfests, and switched to Lager thereafter.

Just tipped a shot (or 3) of vodka into my limeade, along with a splash of club soda.

It makes me happy while cooking. Is also excellent painkiller - have bit of metarsalgia* from the last few long runs.

*inflammation in the joints of the forefoot... or as I said this morning "my big toe balls hurt", causing 12 year old boy to choke on his orange juice and laugh his ass off.

Modelo- a Mexican beer. They messed up everything in making it. Even the pull tab doesn't work right. It was worth a try tho.

Because a sixpack should not be ten-fifty.  Ever. 

Local bars should keep 12's for about 14bucks.  Doesn't really matter what it is.  Pabst, even.  Its the unspoken rule here on the Dirty Boulevard.

I'm driving about 30 mins this weekend up to frankenmuth, mi to snag up possibly one of the last 6 packs of dogfish head 120min ipa in this area.  I consider it a steal at $48/6pack.  I'd expect it to sell for around $11/bottle if you can find it before the next release in November.  Of course I need to restock my triple hops and ipas as I've focused on my wheats trying to find brews the wife likes for the past 6 months.
