    Dark beer is better than light beer. Blonde beer makes me gag.

    I've drank keystone for about 6 years. I like it, it gets me drunk, and it is cheap. No need to change. For 20 bucks I can get a half gallon of whiskey and some of my friends can have a good time, or for 20 bucks I can get a 30 pack of Keystone, and all of my friends can have a good time.

    That's fine. But it's been popular for a while, and I don't see increasing popularity having any major impact on the price.

    Also,

    Whiskey: .5 gallon * 128 fluid ounces/1 gallon * 40% ABV =

    Keystone Light: 30 cans * 12 fluid ounces/1 can * 4.2% ABV =

    Do that math real quick.
    let's see... That's plus... times... devided... I don't get it.

    Seriously! I don't understand it. I'm not too picky with beer nowadays, but I always feel that way when try to avoid getting a pitcher of IPA.

    I'm quite fond of red and amber ales.

    I couldn't finish a sip it was so awful.

    this sounds like gross hyperbole, but i'm sorry anyway.

    I think its also an acquired taste thing, I don't like beer, and I can opt for the sweeter drinks, but I bet if I kept at it and tried I wouldn't find beer so bad tasting. The same for coffee.

    rum is good stuff

    like i remember for a while i was promoting sailor jerry very hard, cause it's $20 a handle for a decent cherry spiced rum

    and by decent i mean it's better than admiral nelson, captain morgan, and i'd probably rank it higher than kraken.

    mount gay is a good rum, and if i remember right i enjoyed pyrat (it's fancier)

    Don't plan on letting my kids drink much of it either.

    I think I enjoy Kraken a bit more, but as you said before, that might just be because of the bottle haha
    My other rum of choice is sailor jerry. I can't go back to morgan or nelson now.
    well, I probably can... but why?

    Seriously, a porter would be the worst idea to give to someone who needs to acquire a taste for beer. I've been drinking beer for 15 years now and some porters are still a bit much for me.


    EDIT: I do get the joke, seeing as how it is a mocha porter.
