28 September 2011

Breakfast: cheerios and coffee

Lunch: at Casey's Cowtown for the Lions Club meeting:
  • fancy chicken soup, a cup of
  • salad
  • two pork chops with fancy sauce
  • baked potatoe with butter and sour creamme
  • two Budweiser
I was appalled by the poor choice of beers at the Boot Hill Casino Restaurant. With the exception of Budweiser and another beer (whose name I've forgotten), all their beers were "light" or "lite". (At least they didn't have any Michelob, which is really another way of saying no Michelob "Ultra" [piss poor}.) So, I went with two Bud; one with the appetizer and the second with the pork chops. It wasn't too many years ago that I would have turned up my nose at a Bud but then I could have bought
  • Tooth's KB Lager
  • Henry Wenihart Private Preserve
  • Michelob Lager
  • MGD
  • Fosters (in the "oil can")
  • and decent local micro brew beers!
Now, we've turned into a nation of phonies obsessed with "Low carbs", who don't drink real beers. If you want to do some real drinking, have a couple shots of vodka and chase them with cranberry juice. The vodka gives you the Ethanol (C2H5OH) and the cranberry juice flushes your bladder, which is a property of beer. I've drank cranberry juice to see what the fuss was about. I imagine it would go down smoother after a couple of shots.

Kathie and I went to Milwaukee a couple of years ago (a USA-Canada Lions Leadership Forum) and went to a couple of bars. Their selection of real beers was fantastic! We surely could use bars with such a old fashioned, manly, beer selection.
