I've got one of those large mugs that was Tuborg; bigger than my head.

Uuuuuuugh, Tuborg. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/wuerg/vomit-smiley-021.gif

Okay, beer is nice, but is it weird that the only thing I noticed was how messy your house is?

[JeeberD]

Spaten Optimator...oh hell yes!

[bejezuz]

Hmm. I thought this thread was about waking up next to bar trash. My bad.

[A-Train]

I know I ALWAYS keep a can of WD-40 in my kitchen.

Ya know, there ARE alternatives if your food is sticking to the pan...

when i listen to emails from listeners on jim rome or visit a forum where folks say that they saw/heard something that made them spit out beer/coke on their keyboard... well... i didn't think that some folks too it so seriously. ;)

j/k, jugdish. cheers to filet-o-fish container ashtrays! :D

[Kam]

fiber plus bread.

hah.

it goes out smooth?

[DonnyMost]

I never understood why people collected empty beer bottles or beer glasses... its damn near close to women collecting china or crystal tea sets..

like a real man i have onepint glass i got several years ago (st. arnolds) and one backup in case that one breaks and thats it..

[Isabel]

That house isn't messy. :D

(and, like bejezuz, I thought this was going to be about "I got in at 2 with a 10 and woke up at 10 with a 2...")

[Saint Louis]

Same here, I was hoping for a before closing time and an after sunrise set of pictures.

Well it's like having wine glasses and champagne flutes.

If you're into beer (and by into beer, I don't mean "I down a 12 pack of coors light every friday!") you drink a lot of different varieties - trappist ales, Belgian saisons, imperial stouts, Dubbels, Trippels, Wittes, Weissbeers, Bocks, Dobbelbocks....etc.

Each type of beer you drink demands a different kind of glass, according to tradition and because the composition/aromas of certain types of beers demand different kind of glasses. For example, A Belgian Trippel, like say a Westmalle, demands a wide mouth glass to release the flaover and contain the head. (and if you're paying 7 bucks for a 12 oz bottle, you might as well enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed) Meanwhile a german Altbier demands a small thin high ball type glass because its meant to be drunk really fast.

Also there's some old German laws in some states that state that if you serve beer, you're required to serve it in the corresponding glass.

It's a West Coast Choppers ashtray!

I was hoping no one would notice the WD-40. No idea why that's in there.

i know that. nevermind... it's just an old joke. :)

btw... noticed the "commit lozenges" and the ashtray in one pic and cigarette lighter by the toaster oven in another pic. heheh

just given you a hard time man. pay no mind. :D

[surrender]

I need an Optimator mug, hopefully I can pick one up in Munich this summer

[Jeff]

Some of you guys need serious help with that obsessive/compulsive disorder. Either that or you just need to start a maid service. :)

[Trader_Jorge]

Sam, that frosted glass tabletop looks like it was purchased at Eurway. Am I correct? You need to step it up.

No I got it at Door Store. What is a "Eurway"? Do you shop there?

[Trader_Jorge]

No, I most certainly do not. It is a furniture store that markets to a niche somewhere in between Ikea and Crate and Barrell. I wouldn' touch it.

You sound like a 70-year-old socialite. How dare you suggest I would buy beneath me! INDEED!

:D

[SamFisher]

My thoughts on furniture are mid-range. IKEA is too cheap and falls apart, but extremely high end furniture is a pain in the ass to maintain, plus you're stuck with it once you invest in it - I like to change things up every few years.

[Kam]

what a bunch of ladies..

hi guys. I shop at this furniture store ONLY.

Well la de da'

My beer demands a glass. (and by my beer I don't mean a twelver of Coors)

I agree with serving beer at the proper temperature, but the glass thing is just asinine.

Ok well you can drink a 1929 Latour out of a solo cup but at the end of the day if you want to appreciate it you need the right glass.

Beer is the same way, it takes a lot of time and effort to make - more so than wine even. And if you want to experience all that it has to offer - you use the right kind of glass.

In my opinion, if you're drinking Rochefort 10 out of a dirty pint glass you should not be buyng Rochefort 10. Stick to St. Arnolds.

I hope that is not a backhanded slap at St Arnold's. They make a very strong selection of seasonal brews and have a very deep understanding and appreciation for the history and quality of beer. These guys are a beer snob's best friends. Plus it doesn't hurt that the founder is a Rice grad and ex i-banker. As far as local microbrews go, they are first rate. They really do things the right way, by honoring beer traditions and customs. Plus they are Houston based.

Some brews are designed after the glass.

No, some of their strong ales are good. Not super-awesome, world class but good enough. And I'm sure the founder of St. Arnolds would be the very first person to tell you that the kind of glass you use is very important when youa re trying to appreciate good beer.

It's more a slap at people who think because they have a st. arnolds every now and then, or a Sam Adams, they know beer or are experiencing the gamut. There's a lot more to the world of beer than that.

[Trader_Jorge]

The best beer I've ever had was at the Budvar brewery in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic.

[thadeus]

I am an effete and impudent snob, and I drink only the finest, most carefully brewed beers.
