Beer And Beer Drinking

[Clinamenic]

Speaking of which, I think I may fill up a stein and find a David Graeber seminar. Or maybe something about colonial American politics.

 

[Benny Bunter]

And maybe a couple steins too.

I had to Google this, didn't even know what a stein was

Beer steins came into the world during the time of the Bubonic Plague and, as a result of the deadly epidemic, Germany mandated that beverage containers must be covered for sanitary purposes. Conical tops with thumb levers (usually made of pewter) topped the beer steins, keeping flies and their associated diseases out.

How anyone can drink warm beer, especially in the summer, I have no idea, I think I'd rather drink my own piss

It's a sliding scale Leo

There's always Wite-Out.

Just opened a bottle of Tuborg, never had it before, not bad and quite cheap.

Yeah steins are cool. I just watched the Powell/pressburger adaptation of The Tales of Hoffman, and the tavern scene had a bunch of great steins and ornate tobacco pipes as well.

I’m currently having a St. Pauli Girl lager, which I am enjoying more than I expected, which admittedly isn’t saying much.

What kind of beer is that?

 

[Benny Bunter]

It's what woops and Luka have been drinking recently. It's 3.5% and to be drank lukewarm. Perfect accompaniment to mccain oven chips and instant noodles

 

[Clinamenic]

That’s a pretty hard label for so soft a beer. For reference, Bud Light is 4.2%. And the lukewarm consumption mandate leaves me even more skeptical

Wow, that's a blast from the past. when we were in high school and college, we were usually broke and could only afford shit domestic beer like Miller, but once in awhile we'd save our pennies and splurge on the only imports that were around at the time: Heineken, Beck's or St. Pauli Girl. SPG was a luxury, although now I don't recall what it tasted like. I had no idea it still existed, haven't seen it around for ages.

Yeah this is the first time I’ve tried it, and I like it. Right around par with Miller High Life, slightly above PBR, maybe slightly below Sam Adams Boston Lager

 

[Clinamenic]

I’d say it’s at the 40th percentile of quality, out of all the beers I’ve tried

 

[Leo]

Slightly above Miller and PBR isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

 

[Leo]

that being said, we lived on Miller back in the day. smooth and refreshing, and has more flavor that lite beers.
