Macro cravings...?

Every now & then,I get an itch for a PBR or Rolling Rock.

 

There's nothing like some ice cold, beer flavored water (Busch Light!) on a hot, humid summer day after cutting the grass....

 

not recently

 

Eh, I get a hankering for a Molson or Labatt for important hockey dates - season beginning, playoffs beginning, Winter Classic, etc. - but that's really about it and, sadly, I don't have to go through that this year.

 

Coors Original. Yellow Label.

 

Do I crave them? Sure. Do I enjoy them? Of course. I'm into all styles of beer now, and just because I've tasted rare treats and top quality stuff that doesn't mean I'm going to be one of those people who says "I'll never drink an adjunct lager again." Far from it. Will I ever buy cases of Bud Light or Coors Light? Hell no. But I'll drink Budweiser on tap at the pub, and buy cans of it for chasers later in the evening.

 

Maybe after I mow the lawn, I'll drink a Genny, Old Style or Hamms. Refuse to drink BMC. Yuengling bores me.

 

Not really. I know what you mean but i'll usually grab a pilsener instead, same refreshing value but with alot more taste.

 

Old Milwaukee Light is always in my fridge simply because it reminds me of my Dad.

 

Not in the last 5 years or so.

 

Lets say I'm at a corner bar and the draft list consists of macros I will always default to a Yuengling. I liike to use Yuengling as a transitional beer for someone who is drinking a BMC because its a fuller bodied beer and will slowly ramp up their palate for bigger and better things, I will then suggest for them a Great Lakes Dortmunder or a SA Boston Lager. I know the question was do I crave one and the answer is NO but for some reason if I'm eating a fried fish nothing goes better with it than a Yuengling.

 

The last time I craved an adjunct beer was because I needed something to put out a small fire and I didn't want to waste any water.

 

Well, since you asked, no. Don't like them.

 

Fucking love pabst. The style has its moments.....

 

Do I crave them? Well sometimes I get nostalgic and want a Yuengling Lager or Moosehead, but then I remember I have better beer in the fridge.

 

I never do. I have become an official beer snob. I wont drink if im left with the decision of only macros. But i will wash my dishes with them.

 

Whoa Whoa Whoa Yuengling Lager should be a staple in everyones fridge at all times. In no way is it crap beer.

 

I drink what I like, simple as that. I just do not like macro style lagers, if that was all beer was I would not drink beer at all. There is no appeal there for me. If I am going to drink something just to drink it is going to be water, otherwise I prefer to enjoy my beverages.

 

I don't like anything in the macro BMC line but I do still love as much as anything the beers I grew up with.Despite the explosion of new breweries and beers the old favourites still give me great enjoyment.Fortunately a local small brewer makes clones of these beers and as he once worked at the original brewery they are pretty close.

 

I love AAL's. Sometimes I prefer Pliny, FBS or Torpedo, but I absolutely love a cold High Life.
