because it's not lite beer. i've been to the ellicottville brewery a number of times. my wife loves the town, so we stay there once a year typically. there beer is good, but it's like any other craft beer on the market. i just don't know why you're comparing the two. this shouldn't be this hard.

you've never tasted a lite beer? ever? some if it is absolutely disgusting. i was given vodka from a local distillery. it wasn't cheap, and was probably the most disgusting booze to ever cross my lips. i had to choke that drink back and lie about how much i loved the gift.

little genny story for everyone. a few years ago, our friend had a party with a lot of cheap, light beer around. we decided to do a taste test. i don't remember all the beers, but i know there was a mix of bud light, genny, coor and i'm assuming blue. the winner on multiple occasions...genny. people hear the name genny and want to be disgusted with it. it's like any other light beer.

some taste better than others, but they do go down nicely when it's hot out.

i don't think they're sugar or carb free, but i assume the content is low. just looked it up...100 calories, 2 g carbs, 1 gram sugar, 5% abv

that's exactly what i do. i start with a good one or two for the taste, then go right for the light stuff. i feel like i've been run over by a truck if i drink too many ipas. i like them, but just a couple at a time. i can actually drink vodka and feel far better the next day than ipas/heavier beers. if you look in my fridge right now, i have a mix of sam adam summer brews, coors light, and those truly seltzer waters.

one would think. i also don't understand why the op thinks the people in wny only drink light beer, specifically blue or genny. people all over this country drink light beer, and people from wny drink craft beer. it's completely a preference as to what someone wants. i do both, but it depends on the situation. how in the world is this a thing?

i have no idea why this is hard to understand.

i had no idea that is a thread on this side. it's ***** stupid. for some reason the op doesn't realize that local beer tend to be more popular in the area that they're made.

well, you'll find blue at a sabres game because it's a considered a "local" beer. also why you may not find it at other stadiums. i'm not sure if i've ever seen genny at the stadium. you're more likely to find it in rochester based establishments because...wait for it...it's the local beer! make sense? i enjoy a good beer too. that's the point. just if i'm going to be drinking for a period of time, i prefer lighter beer. i'm not drinking lighter beer so it goes "down in 10 minutes" and be hammered before the game. what do you do? sip slowly on a "good beer" until it turns warm? we get it. you don't want to drink light beer. don't do it. i just don't know why you think preferring to drink light beer is a wny thing. when i lived in boston, i'd watch those psychos drink 30 packs of natural light all day. extended drinking is a lot of the time done with light beer. maybe you're palate is just too refined for that.

i'm all about the beer drinking too hooks, but i have no idea why some people are so specific in regards to what's ok and not ok. not to mention he excludes it to the specific region of wny. i have a feeling people all over the country drink light beer. i especially don't get the hang up with genny cream ale. i guarantee i could stop at 20 tailgates, and i'd be shocked if a single one had cream ale. i honestly think i'm more likely to find cocaine at various tailgates than cream ale.

smart and sassy!

does your husband bring that to you?

absolutely. i'm the same way. if it's extended drinking, i want something light. some people may not have to go that route, but as i'm getting older, i lose too much time after going out like that, so the light beer helps to take the edge off. if i'm at home having dinner outside, i'll have a couple of good beers. it's nice to have the option. salty like genny cream ale?

i don't think this is a wny thing at all. i'll drink light beer and i'll drink "good" beers. if i'm up and out all drinking at a game all day, i'm drinking light beer. if i was to end up drinking ipas over the course of hours, i'll end up feeling disgusting. concerning blue and genny...well, that happens to be the local beers so it's not much of a shocker there. on top of that, you mention genny cream ale. i don't think i've ever seen a person drink a cream ale at a game ever. i can't even remember the last time i was at a function and saw it.

ditto.

oh my god!

that is a good call.

the ones in boston are great. the have the boston pops playing in the background to add to the flavor. it's just one of those scenes that if you want to get a seat, you have to get there waaaaaay in advance. i think people would even start looking for spots days before. not sure if it's still the same way.

i mean...if you're handing them out. that being said, if you're going to offer, don't half ass it. i expect it to be a full embrace.

robocough. google that *****.

i completely agree. balance is good, but the uber extremes are bad. i'm definitely more of a casual reader of this board, mostly because i like the entertainment, but also because i learn a lot from some of the more knowledgeable posters. that being said, i think there's something we've all realized from the uber negative side. there's such a shocking need to be correct. why...i have no idea, but it's like they just can't let themselves believe things may have actually changed. they may not have changed at all, but their constant message of anti-optimism isn't nearly as important as they think it is. i made the tongue and cheek comment that i found someone's posting to be depressing, and the first place that poster went was thinking that their message is so powerful, that it actually alters my mood. that just seems to be the way that group rolls. in this thread alone, i've seen some of these posters twist words, change arguments, and even lie for the sake of being right. i like to read all viewpoints...it's how we learn, but some posters have just shown not to be worth the time. not because of the message they push, but more because they're just plain unreasonable. i don't think it has anything to do with settling. it's just more the glasses some choose to view life through. exactly. there's a difference. i think most realize that the posters we're referring to aren't your typical poster that just leans towards the doubtful side. they like to lump themselves into that group, but they're easy to pick out. hell, you can't avoid them.

is it really that hard to figure out. posters, and even more important, people like sotier tend to suck the life out of everything. put the bills aside for a minute. do you think someone like that is pleasant in real life? i guarantee they aren't. football is a game. the fact that someone has some much bitterness, angst and anger towards it is completely a downer to me. i'm sure it doesn't just end at football either, and that's sad. it has zero to do with his actual message.
