I'll work on the other side of the brackets after dinner. Tullamore Dew is the heavy favorite at this time.

Seeing as how Schlitz made it to the semis I got no problem with this tournament.

Blatz must have been on the bubble? What about Old Style?

Michael Haz said...

They are in the NIT. This is NCAA.

Given "Schlitz" is now made by PBR...WTF? Panther Piss comes to mind. Guinness could win that match up even if some one shat in the brew first.

Guiness is my sentimental favorite today.

The bubbles in Guinness really do sink and here's why.

Fondly thinking today of sitting in a pub tapping a freshly poured glass with a pound coin waiting for the right "sound" to indicate readiness.

No Pearl, LoneStar, or Shiner? I guess they went to the NIT? Stella decided to have an Atrois after missing the selection.

Aridog - Schlitz was a respectable brew decades ago. Taken over by PBR? Oh how the mighty have fallen!

Here's some sad news about Guinness.

The Guinness we see coming out of taps here in the US is not brewed in Ireland. It's brewed by a contract brewing company in Canada. And it's pasteurized. Ditto much of the Guinness in bottles and cans.

You can find Guinness brewed in Ireland in your liquor store if yo read the labels carefully. And it tastes much better than the non-Ireland Guinness.

I learned this while sitting at the bar in a pub. Next to me were two men from Ireland who were spitting their tapped Guinness onto the floor and yelling "wot kinda shit is this, lad?" at the bartender.

Then all hell and hilarity broke loose when the hamburger-laden "Shepherd's Pie" they had ordered for lunch showed up. "Wot kinda shit are ya feedin' me, lad? Are ya tryin' to kill a Irishman with this garbage??"

Since when does Miller beat Bud? No way. Miller can't beat anyone.

Potcheen is the best. I recently discovered it.
