how to be awesome, or failing that, adequate

Well, this week, I'm gonna go a head and get this out of the way, Men drink beer, plain and simple, women can too, I have absolutely nothing against that, matter of fact I encourage girls to drink, but there are ulterior motives for that,drunk girls let their inhibitions go and make it easier for you to sleep with them.

yep. I'm that guy.

anyway, as anyone can tell you there are a lot of different kinds of beers, Lagers, ales, pilsners, and even more varieties in those three styles themselves, but beer to the average college student boiles down to what is cheap and what can get me drunk really fast and provide me with means to have a lot of it so my cheap friends can get drunk with my cheap ass? While this thought process is good incertain situations that same thought can also be the bane of your existance if your beer experience never ventures away from Busch Light, Natty Light and Bud Light.

So, I feel it is my duty to explain to you the joys of beer tasting and learning that beer is so much more than a means to an end.

Miller High Life- If you're like me and you're boarderline poor, this is your best option for a quality beer that doesnt taste like piss, vinegar and motor oil. There's nothing special about it, however it does lack a serious shit taste factor that so many other cheep beers does.

Yuengling- Now, Philly bias aside, Yuengling is a bargin for the price it's bottled at, this smooth lager is the choice of many Eagle and Phillies fans for drinking while enjoying a game.

Blue Moon- Now while putting fruit in beer is often frowned upon it is almost necessary to put an orange peel in this beer to get the perfect flavor from it.

IPA Pale Ale- India ale isnt actually from India, it was made by english settlers to withstand the long trip to india by boat, now that history lesson aside, IPA may have some wierd names for it's beer but all of them are sure winners.

Sam Adams- now this list hasnt been any suprises so far, MOST of sam adams' brews are pretty good, but there are some of those you gotta avoid, i suggest getting the brewmaster pack at least once and experimenting and seeing what beers you dont like.

Brooklin Lager- now here's one that not a lot of people know of, it's brewed in the old pre-prohibition style ways, very smooth with a flavorful after taste, goes great with some pizza from 3 guys

Lonestar Beer- THE official beer of texas, this pale lager is great for going out and BBQing

Kirin Lager- beer and seafood seldom goes very well together, but this is a huge exception, Kirin is Japan's oldest beer and it's longevity can be attributed to it's great taste, having a salmon fillet and Kirin is one of the tastiest experiences you'll even encounter.
