There was another Auburn rain game, I attended it with my dad.

It was a monsoon in the second half.

This is surprising to me when it came to Samuel Adams states, and I was not aware Modelo wears the sales crown. Also that Yuengling is absent. Here's a real mind-boggler. Everything Owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev

Modelo is the fastest growing beer in the country, it’s insane.
And it continues to gain market share.

Booom!
I do remember that and maybe it was just my age, but man was Tennessee football special back then.

Did Bud Light ever recover and get their share back?

Pre CobbWebb, unfortunately.

Some, but they are still feeling it.
If not for Mich Ultra, they would’ve been in serious trouble!

10-11 year old me loved some Reggie Cobb!
It helped that he lived and played like 2 miles from me.

Negra Modelo with a slice of lime is a darned good beer.

Side note: history is endlessly interesting. Born in Vienna, Ferdinand Maximilian Josef Maria von Habsberg-Lothringen was, briefly, the emperor of Mexico. Austrian and German immigration had a fair amount of influence on Mexican beer making, and Negra Modelo is a Vienna lager.

I will just stick with my commoner drink of choice. The High Life , to hell with all these fancy Lagers and Samuel Adams and Heineken if they still make it. These fancy beers taste like a damn salt lick ....

I like my beer opaque if light can get through it, it’s not dark enough. Give me a stout or a porter. And no IPAs. Everyone in the world is obligated any more to make grapefruit flavored beer.

I stop at amber. Shiner Bock, Yuengling, and Bass are a few of my favorite. Pacifico is pretty good also.
Agreed IPA is too hoppy for my taste.

As dark as used motor oil; puts hair on your chest.

IPAs aren’t my thing either. A brewer told me they love them because they’re quicker (and therefore cheaper) to make. I’ve seen a triple IPA.

Talked to a fella that used to own a microbrewery.....the reason microbreweries make so many IPAs is they can up the alcohol content and it hides all the imperfections. This came on the heels of me wanting him to make a lager like a miller or a budweiser....something not hoppy. But, the micros would basically need to hire a chemical engineer for that. The reason India Pale Ales were made in the first place is when the brits would send brews to India, it would become rancid the time it got to India.....so, the brewers developed IPAs.

I’ve had my fair share of Ultras so I would like to take credit for keeping them afloat.

Maybe we get some baseball in today.

@MAD your Tigers are making special memories this season. First time in MLB history a player has homered twice in the 9th inning

Haven’t been this excited about the Tigers since 84.

In preparation of the next two days…

May the 4th be with you because Cinco de Mayo will be the Revenge of the Sith.

You just gloss right over those Miggy and Verlander years
