where did you learn that one from Half Porter First Then The Lord goes in To make True Half & Half

Our local porter is Benchwarmer brewed by the Cooperstown Brewing Co. In my opinion it is heads and tails over any other. I have only had it on draught. It is extremely smooth, flavorful, no after taste and quite potent.

It's a microbrew. Chances are high you won't find it except in specialty beer shops and ale houses

WHAT!!!! Mike, Dude, what's up with that?!!! Are you a commie or something?

To me, nothing sounds better than when you sit down in a bar or restaurant and you ask "What's on tap?" and their first response is "Lager..."

You know you're in Pennsylvania when ....you ask for a Lager and they bring you a Yuengling.

Schaefer...Schaefer IS THE one beer to have when you’re having more than one… I remember they had a brewery just west
of Allentown (Fogelsville area), they were bought out I believe by Stroh's, now I believe that brewery belongs to Sam Adam's....of the three, I'd pay 3 times the amount and take a Sammy anyday.

In 2005, Drinks Americas of Wilton Ct., whose iconic brands include Trump Vodka and Dr. Dre Cognac, purchased Rheingold Brewing.[10]Drinks Americas has reformulated the Rheingold product for follow through distribution throughout the US. The date of the release is currently unknown.

I shall keep my eyes open while shopping... ...however I guess "reformulated" means "not the way it used to be".

I had about 20 Coors lights at my buddy's kids birthday bash last night. Feeling a little tired today

I'll have to check that one out the next time I hit the packie - thanks for that info Coalnewbie! Surprised they would only sell that stuff in 2 states .... and even more surprising is MA is one of them! That tells me it must be a favorite with someone on Beacon Hill ....
