Cardinal rules of beer

When money is tight, drink less, drink better. Never drink AALs unless you like the style.

 

Beer goes in mouth, never in anus.

Some beer is too good to share, except with your beer fanatic wife or long term sexual partner.

Don't send extras your partner can buy locally.

Don't drink every single night you bloody alcoholic. Stuff tastes so much better after a few dry days working hard and going to bed sober.

Somebody has always had more whales than you and more ticks than you so don't even stress about it.

 

I forgot about this one.

Never trade a beer you haven't tasted before, it may be doubly difficult to re-acquire that beer you traded away.

 

that's why you always buy 2 if planning on trading, right?

 

Yup. Or, three if you are planning to trade and cellar something.

 

Enjoy beer and share beer, life is too short to not be positive....

 

In that rare situation when a beer is too awful to drink, don't drain pour.... rather try to cook with it!

 

ive done this...left an effing six pack in there...punished myself by making me drink every last one of them post microwave destruction

 

1. When money is tight, 12 pak of Racer 5
2. NEVER Drain Pour!

 

1. There's a time and a place for all beers (generally). Even those brewed on a massive scale and made with rice. The enjoyment factor may take a major dip, but I put major emphasis on the social aspects of beer, and sometimes you've got to drink from the larders of others.

2. If you miss a one-off or any opportunity to try something rare, don't sweat it. There will always be good beer to be had, and there's A LOT of beer out there.

3. Don't be afraid to take the occasional hiatus from drinking beer. You'll come back refreshed and with perspective.

 

Good beer guidelines to live by, Draheim. Oh, and by the way. If I ever run into Andrew Luck, I'll buy him a beer.

 

I love the High Life , Coors and Bud, 5th. I shore could use a Torpedo right now, tho'. a nice Porter sounds mighty tasty, too.

 

Blech! That's the only way that beer is palatable, but it's a great mixer!

 

Oh, and if I ever run into Demi Lovato, I'm gonna ask the young lady to marry me. She'll probably say no, but I gotta try.

 

1.) it's just beer, why so serious?
2.) when choosing beer that you aren't so sure about, "have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?"
3.) on the price of beer, "if you're good at something, never do it for free."

 

Are people really this stupid?

 

Good rules. My wife is now buying beer at Safeway that I've never heard of.
My only slight modification to 5 is...if you see a beer that you've never had that is remotely in your beer style wheelhouse, buy it. It could be your next favorite brew.
Occasionally buy one that isn't your style. Met some very interesting beers that way.

 

Thought of another one, although not directly buying beer related.
If you really like it, try to brew it. Very likely it will make you appreciate the original a lot more.

 

My rules are simple.
I drink what I like, the way I like, regardless of what someone else thinks.

 

Rule numero uno: always check the bottling date.
