Make sure you bring the right beer

Can't tell you how many times this has happened *this* summer already. "oooh, Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Extra.... I'll have one of those instead of the busch that I brought." berkeley YOU! I like me a Busch, a PBR, Yeungling, etc, but I choose when to drink them.

"Run what ya brung" applies to beer too.

Stupid cheap for a 6pack at Trader Joe's, and nothing fancy but is like taking a macro lager and doing it better. With a closet full of homebrew, I'm pretty well set on affordable beer though.

I've been pretty pleased with the Trader Joes beers now that we have one here. The Stockyard Oatmeal Stout is very good, especially for a buck a bottle. I've even heard that, in areas outside Unibroue's normal distribution, TJs relabels some of their beers for resale at lower than Unibroue's typical prices. Yum.

Everybody says Trader Joe's has the best of everything on the cheap. Well, I have no Trader Joe's here. What the hell is a man to do?

Same here, no Costco either. Just Sam's. Which is just Wal-Mart on steroids.
