Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss The Six Beers of Christmas

It's only becaues it was malt liquor. We used to treat the jug-type bottles like they were grenades. Once you popped the top, you only had 5 seconds to finish it.

We were drinking them around 8:30AM the day of my wedding. Good times.

Speaking of malt liquor, back in my college days, we used to drink Old Mil as our staple beer in kegs at our fraternity. Frequently, a brother would upgrade or pay the difference between a keg of Old Mil and some better beer. At least a few times a year, someone would upgrade to Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull.

Those days, or nights, things would always get broken in the house (windows, doors, furniture, bones, etc.). The next mornings were not pretty. Good times.

Dwight,

Brewed with water from the same aquifer as Kentwood Spring Water. I like Amber, Wheat, and especially Turbo Dog. Turbo Dog is dark and robust. Not as chewy or nearly as bitter as Guiness. Abita is not cheap, but not expensive either. I'm a traditionalist, so I haven't tried Abita's flavored beers. A friend keeps telling me how good Purple Haze is, but his taste and indeed his character are questionable. Beer's off the menu right now, so I'm lusting for a Turbo Dog.

I had my very first Shiner Bock when I was in Texas (thanks to Heybud) and drank that as my beer of choice the entire time I was down there (also thanks to TomG that supplied me with several). When I was seriously ready to adjust my attitude however it was of course Captain & Coke.



Dang that brings back memories. In my younger days my buddies and I would go on surf safaries into Mexico (think remote beaches, no crowds, camping and some great surf). We'd stop usually in Ensenada and fill the van's full of Negra Modelo. Back in those days the beer was dirt cheap. We'd trade stuff or buy outright lobsters from the local fishermen. A bunch of drunken waterdogs surfing all day, eating lobster and drinking all night. Good times.

I never could acquire a tast for the wheat beers. Especially the wheat beers with fruit in them. For the most part I like to stick with good ol barley and hopps.

The staples of my diet are Guinness, Newcastle, Beck's, Pacifico, Negra Modelo, and Woodchuck Cider Ale (during the winter season).

Speaking of Newcastle Brown, does anyone think that Newcastle Brown is mentioned in the Humble Pie song, '30 Days in the Hole?'

Im thinking the 6 beers of Christmas is missing a didget

Sunil,

That's what I thought they said, but then again, many folks thought that The Who's 'Eminence Front' was "M&M Funk."

Mind state influences could yield an alternate outcome.

I always knew it was 'Eminence Front.'

Wow, "Eminence Front" and "30 Days in the Hole". Haven't heard those songs mentioned in a looong time. I love both of those songs. Humble Pie's Smokin' album is great. Can you believe that album was from 1972!

I don't think they were talking about the beer.......

Is it another name for the bad, bad H. word?

That's what the internet says so it must be true.

I can't believe it, tonight's episode of Jeopardy had that song in it's 'answer'. Wife was a bit surprised when I blurted out "Humble Pie".

Sunil, I just knew you hadda be a frat rat.

I'll just go ahead and take that as a compliment my friend!

absolutely! It's just the aura.
