  At least you washed that cheap beer down with some cheap rum. You are consistent.

  Step up to the plate, try mixing a Taco Bell Frutista with Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Rum.

  Tried Keystone Light for the first time a couple weeks ago. I honestly had to force it down.
  
  On a different note: Has anyone tried Fosters? I've always wanted to try but never have. They have a lot of advertising but I guess that doesn't always mean something.

  Keystone is the worst beer on the planet next to Beast Ice and Wild Blue Lager (blueberry beer).
  
  Yeah I've had fosters many times, nothing special. Very similar to Budweiser.

  You put Wild Blue in the category with Keystone and Beast Ice? Wow I don't think it's great but I think it's a step above the other two.

  Fair enough, I just thought it was an awful tasting beer.

  Yeah, it's nothing special in the grand scheme but I don't mind fruit beers. I won't necessarily buy them but I put Wild Blue above Keystone and Beast Ice. So I'm not missing much with Fosters huh?

  Skip Fosters, try Red Stripe if you want a foreign lager.

  Nothing super special tonight. Had a couple Two Hearted Ales and picked up some 90 Minute and Hop Rod Rye.
• justincredible

  

  Curly, have you had any of the Quaff Bros stuff from the party source? Their planked porter is fantastic. We bought a growler of it the other day.

  It's okay actually it is pretty good, but don't get to excited about it. There are a some better chocolate stouts out there. I keep having to remind myself when I drink it that this is an English Chocolate Stout. Not the over the top American Chocolate Stout.
• O-Trap

  

  Trying something new tonight: Rogue's OREgasmic Ale
  
  I'll let you know what I think when I'm done with it. Pairing it with a spicy cigar. Should be good.

  Lots of pumpkin ales, but you missed the best one (and one of my top 10 beers). Southern Tier Pumking.
• Curly J

  

  I had a glass of DFH Punkin and some Southern Tier Pumpking last night. The Wife picked up two 4 packs of Punkin before it goes off the shelves. She loves those Pumpkin Beers. (I could take them or leave them)
  
  Sunday night it was AleSmith Speedway stout. (one of my favorite stouts)

  New Glarus Staghorn ... picked up a 24-pack because it's amazing and only around for a couple months. Next time I'm through Wisconsin I'm probably picking up another 24-pack. To me, it's the perfect fall beer.

  I missed it because the place that I get the stuff didn't have it. Trust me...it's on my list....both the ST Pumking and the DFH Punkin' Ale.
