This is our second attempt to do the uncouth: intentionally stereotype, our first attempt was a tad fun. You see, in a past post we discussed stereotypes a bit in a nonjudgmental and humorous attitude. It occurred to those who participated in the discussion that it might be fun to take to higher, beer level, [...]
MillerCoors recently recalled cans of cold Coors Light after the company determined the batch, brewed at the MillerCoors Georgia brewery was “subpar.” A conspiracy theorist at heart, I have spent countless hours contemplating the actual reason for the recall. Feel free to add any as you see fit! 10. Neanderthal like Coors Light consumers were [...]
It seems to me to be a fair assumption that we’ve all see at least snippets of the Oscars, Golden Globes, or some other such actors/actresses award show. Brad Pitt, Al Paccino, and many other actors have received accolades at these awards. But I happen to think that the best actors are being overlooked. No, [...]
Disclaimer: This is not directed at anyone in particular. Don’t be self-absorbed and think that I’m talking specifically about you. I’m always critical of the person who exclusively drinks macro beer. In fact, I can be critical of someone who drinks them with any regularity. Now that I work in a liquor store, I’ve observed [...]
It is no secret to those who have drunk the kool-aid (code for beer) and joined the clandestine community of beer lovers that this week (May 11th – 17th) is officially American Craft Beer Week. “Aaaaagggghhhh.” That was me breathing a sigh of relief of not being guilted into heading down to the Hallmark shop [...]
Does anyone listen to the radio? I try to avoid it like the plague. Why? I’m tired of hearing the same old songs. Now that everybody else is tired of hearing the same old songs, there’s a new brilliant idea that has come up: remake the same old songs with different people. Let’s hear their [...]
In a past post we discussed stereotypes a bit in a nonjudgmental and humorous attitude. It occurred to those who participated in the discussion that it might be fun to take to higher, beer level, since for the most part, the posts on this blog lean toward the rote information. So occasionally, we will post [...]
Here at Thank Heaven for Beer, we occasionally attempt to point out certain positive factors of beer–see this article or this article for example–that are not apparent as the obviously divine flavor. We do so, because quite honestly, so often the negative factors are the ones that come to mind for many. We are not [...]
Number 10: Style or “current type” obsession This level of geekdom can really be one of the most annoying. With the style or “current type” obsession, the beer geek argues the merits and superiority of the favorite type. “IPAs are just so much better because of the crazy amount of hops; that’s why I’ve had [...]
Language can be twisted and turned into a semantic nightmare to the point that a negative term can be manipulated and utilized for positive purposes and vice-versa. For example. BAD ASS (sorry…I really don’t curse…this just came to mind). Two negative terms twisted by pop culture to mean COOL. “That car is BAD ASS” actually [...]
