Hey Look, a new post!

Yep, a mere 7 months later and I'm back!  This will be a short one though.  Picked up a 40 of Bud Light and a can of Four Loko Cranberry Lemonade as my wife is out of town and I'm bored.  The 40 was great.  The Four Loko tastes like Tussin and Vodka.  If you're into that, awesome.  I'm not.  I'm choking the rest down.  That's all :).

Four Loko Fruit Punch - Back to the beginning


If you remember the first drink I had, it was a very girly red punch like substance called Max Vibe that did a good measure on my liver and my sobriety.  If you don't remember it, click over to the next page, it really wasn't long ago.  Anyway, it was, like this one, a member of a growing faction of heavily caffeinated, high ABV, fruit flavored tall boys available in liquor store coolers across the country.  They're obviously aimed at the fairer sex, but who cares, I like fruit punch and it's Friday night, I'll do what I want.  I was hoping to make tonight another two-fer, but I remembered on the drive home that I've already reviewed Mickey's and Bud Light.  Touche universe, you've saved me from making an ass of myself (again) on the internet.  So I'll throw all my efforts at this one, the camo-canned kick in the face called Four Loko Fruit Punch.

Rolling Rock - The Little Can that Could


You know what's damn hard to find?  A picture of a rolling rock can.  Don't believe me?  Go google it, it's tricky.  I'm not even sure this is a can, but for the sake of time, we'll go ahead and say it is.  Back to the task at hand.  There are few beers that successfully transition to cans.  The vast majority are the cheap light beers, i.e. Keystone Light, Bud Light, Miller Light, and so on, that rarely start in bottles.  Still, there are a couple "higher echelon" beers that pull it off.  Take a look at anything by Oskar Blues, a brewery that has successfully pulled it off for seven years, or the two offerings by New Belgium, Fat Tire and Sunshine Wheat.  It can be done, though it's not easy.  So when I stumbled upon a 30 pack of Rolling Rock cans that came in cheaper than even the low brow beers (Keystone Light and Busch Light), I was intrigued enough to bite.  So here goes a 17 dollar gamble.

Coors Winterfest - A Seasonal Delight


I'm kind of a dick.  I started this blog with two cheap non-beers that are more suited in a sorority fridge than the claw of a hardened beer snob.  I followed it up with a super low volume local beer that you'll probably never even see, let alone drink.  Then I moved to Bud Light, the non-beer-drinkers beer.  Finally, I closed out the decade with an exclusive brew that's are already extinct.  I've not yet been a man of the people.  I've avoided the Sam Adams, the Sierra Nevadas, the widely available stuff and gone with things that you just can't find unless they're already gracing the shelves in your fridge.  So to start the new year, I'll do the exact same thing.  I'll tell you what I thought of Coors' Winterfest.
