First off, there is nothing "ridiculous" about the satire that they did. They simply drew up what Fox News accused him of (in a comical fashion, I must add). Furthermore, he's not a "Victim" in this case. To be a "Victim", you need to be attacked. The New Yorker didn't attack Obama or his wife.

*grin* I, too, am a hop head, which is why I wasn't all that impressed with Sweetwater and Atlanta Brewing. Didn't see terrapin though.

Victim of what?

Hmm, I could only find two microbreweries, and neither looked that great. Here's a list of beer stores/pubs though: http://ratebeer.com/Places/MetroList.asp?mid=125 Looks like there is a nice beer store called Greens: http://www.greensbeverages.com/beer-ga1.shtml

Come on. Its a joke about the Fox News "Terrorist Fist Jab" comment, pointing out the absurdity of the whole thing. They're, *gasp*, dressed up as terrorists, doing the supposed terrorist fist jab. Obama's campaign did a great job portraying himself as the victim here, though. The next time someone brings up his Muslim heritage, everyone will remember how outraged we're supposed to at that person.

lol, if this was on The Daily Show, no one would be having an issue with it. (Great idea with the Hanoi Hilton pictures though, since people totally use McCain's time as a PoW to attack him )

Come to the opener with us!

Well, the Clintons, and Fox News.

Why the hell are you looking for a widely distributed American beer? (Yes, there is, its called Sam Adams, but it sucks). You live in Cincinnati, you've got access to the Great Lakes Brewing Company, one of the best Breweries in the US, from Cleveland. You've also got access to Buckeye Brewing and a few others. Check out http://www.ohiobeerguide.com/

Nice, I've even got a free tour coupon from the Saint Arnold rep who works here in Austin. Should be fun when I finally get out there. I also want to tour Real Ale in Blanco

Good ol Saint Arnold. Have you toured the brewery? I haven't found myself in Houston yet to do so.

Quiet you two.

He should have stayed bald. He is now Jesse "Clown Hair" Ventura

Shiner dropped a few notches in my book when they decided to make a competitor to Michelob Ultra. Still, though, much better than any macro brew for sure.

Because we can multitask and have jobs where we can use the interwebs?

Best beer article ever The whole article is full of win. I envision a South Park episode about this, but instead of THEY TOOK OUR JORBS, I'm thinking THEY TOOK OUR BURR

Too nice. The best thing to do at that point, is to stare at the person taking your order for a minute, and then just walk out.

Nope, they don't brew in Austin anymore. That closed down in 2001. He currently brews in Michigan, and his beers aren't distributed to Texas. His brewery is part of the Michigan Brewing Company.

Well, when you have almost no flavor to begin with, its not too hard to make another beer that tastes like it. With the sale of A-B, the Boston Beer Company is now the largest U.S. owned brewery. I personally hate the Sam Adams beers as well, but I can at least appreciate them selling hops to the brewers who are more at liberty to produce the tasty beers. They also at least try different styles, and try to push the limits with beers like Utopia and Triple Bock. Yuengling is 2nd (not a lager fan), with Sierra Nevada in 3rd (mmmm, Bigfoot). Sierra Nevada can make some stinkers (Southern Hemisphere this year lacked of flavor), but they're the best "big" brewery in the US. Of course, I put big in quotes here, because they still only ship 700,000 barrels a year (compared to Sam Adams at 1.3 million and Yuengling at 1.2 million). Still, they're huge compared to great smaller craft-breweries, like Dogfish Head (39,000), Avery (13,000), Abita (75,000), AleSmith (not sure, not a wide distribution), Three Floyds (4800), Real Ale (only Texas), Saint Arnold (only Texas), etc. Any preference on beer styles? I'll try to grab some brews you can't get on the east coast for the Bills game.

Its only a subjective view if you don't take into account any standards for quality out there.

InBev and A-B

They both suck.

Just wait till you visit Lubbock for the first time.
