For Halloween this year at the office, a few of us got together and did the old Saturday Night Live skit “Da Bears”, except for “Da Chargers”.  You remember, the big fat stereotypical Chicago bears fans with mustaches and oversize sunglasses.  This gave us the great excuse to drink beer out of giant mugs during [...]

The Least Interesting Man in the World Drinks Bud Ice He lives in a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. He works in accounting for an insurance company that serves other accounting companies. His favorite restaurant is Applebee’s. He is, in short, the least interesting man in the world. And he drinks Budweiser Ice. Some facts about [...]

Old Milwaukee… just sounds delicious, doesn’t it? This beer dates back before they named brews after snakes. I’m not sure if this is technically malt liquor or merely cheap beer, but I drank it from a 40-ounce bottle shaped like a Saturn rocket booster, so I’ll refer to it as the malt variety.

I’ll be honest, if it wasn’t for this beer, I would never finish a side project. I’ve been drinking this beer for a long time, mostly cause its available from my local 7-11, and partially because its only like $7 a 6-pack.
