What Does the Beer You Drink Say About Your Politics?

[Image: National Journal]

Hey Daniel?

I drink Amstel Light, yes… but I prefer Guinness. Hey, at least I don’t drink Busch Light.

Hmmmm. Apparently I am high-turnout Democrat (I love Guinness). With the exception of Blue Moon, I don’t really drink anything in either of the Republican squares.

There’s one that should be in the very top right hand corner: home-brew with zero government involvement!

Found at Target.

After seeing it in the Food Network magazine, my wife and I decided to try our hand at making an ice cream sundae topping out of Guinness Stout, sugar, and butter. Turned out to be amazingly delicious. 

It tasted like Guinness, sugar, and butter, oddly enough. The subtle nuances that come with Guinness, like a toasty coffee and chocolate, were pretty dominant. Overall, it was like having a toasted toffee ice cream topping. From beer.

Stop it. This is too much for me to handle.

Currently sipping one of these.

I successfully convinced a coworker this week that a task I rapidly accomplished for her merited a six-pack. She took me seriously and surprised me with this brand. Not bad.

Growlers: The New Old Way to Tote Your Beer

Growlers — 64-ounce glass vessels that look like a moonshine jug — have become the beer accessory of the moment. And the jugs, filled at taps in bars and stores, are not just the toys of the bearded, flannel-shirt, beer-geek set.

(via: beernerd)

I’ve considered buying one of these. I do intend to get a lifetime membership to the Mug Club at Granite City one of these days, however.
