How many beers does one bring to a beer summit? A six pack? A case?

[panader0]

Well, there's three guys right? a six pack won't even loosen the tongue. A teener (6 beers each) would get things going. A case or thirty pack may require adult supervision. And why do they wait until so late in the day? Don't most of you hit the beer when the coffee is gone?

[gratuitous]

1. I'd bring a half rack

You bring whatever you want to drink. :evilgrin:

[DefenseLawyer]

2. 30 pack of High Life

The Champagne of Beers

[angstlessk]

25. not sure about DC but VA does not have the 30 pack

for some reason we have decided our beer will be miller...and in VA a 12 pack was sumptin....then they introduced the 24 pack..well we are three so we each get a mini case...then when we moved to MI we discovered the 30 pack..the same price as we used to pay for the 24 pack...thought we moved to beer heaven!

[KatyMan]

28. I buy that all the time

cheap and plentiful, the best kind of beer there is :) I alternate between that and Lone Star for my cheap beers, for good beer I buy Guinness, Rolling Rock or St Arnolds Lawnmower (Houston brewery, awesome beer)

[tridim]

3. Whatever the number, the media will claim it's wrong. nt

[givemebackmycountry]

4. Kegger!

No Fat Tire, or Dead Guy Ale, or Double Wide IPA.

How lame is that?

And Red Stripe is cool ONLY, when it is accompanied by that OTHER great Jamaican homegrown product.

[panader0]

6. Yesh! Northern California has good beer too!

[Initech]

19. Definitely has to be a kegger!

If we're talking Nor Cal ales how about Drake's Expedition or Pliny The Elder?

[Soylent Brice]

22. Fat Tire! hell yeah!

mmmmmmm...

[DJ13]

5. A keg and some strippers!

[Buzz Clik]

10. Excellent. Don't forget to invite the lacrosse team.

[Xipe Totec]

7. If it's the good stuff, two bottles.

Three Philosophers. At 9.8% ABV, and 750 ml per bottle, two of these puppies is more than enough.

[Buzz Clik]

13. A beer drinker with discerning taste.

Well done!

:toast:

[givemebackmycountry]

29. Oh My God...

You gave me an erection.

[Xipe Totec]

30. And it's from Cooperstown, NY

Just to drive the point home for the Sox fans...


:hide:

[givemebackmycountry]

40. See, now I love you.

We're kindred spirits, kind of.

I lived some of the best years of my life in upstate New York.

[KDFW]

36. I can't afford that stuff...guess I'd have to stick with

:rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

42. By alcohol content, Three Philosophers is the better bargain

You'd need a 12 pack of Billy to match one bottle of three philosophers.

Unless you spike it with Everclear.

In which case, ditch the billy beer and keep the Everclear.

[MercutioATC]

57. Great Lakes Blackout Stout isn't bad, either....

Only 9% ABV, but a nice sweet caramel note to offset the roasted malt/chocolate base.

Not as silky as Guinness, but not too bad.

[Fuzz]

64. I like that, but Chimay Blue is in the fridge right now.

;)

[hlthe2b]

8. If you bring bear, you'll need less beer!

(and far more "get up and GO!")

Just a little something you pick up out west....;)

[Buzz Clik]

9. A four pack of Guinness cans plus widgit. Two to drink, two to share.

[panader0]

15. I see how you are! Two for you and only one each for Gates and Crowley.

That only works if they bring the same. What if this thing goes overboard and they all pass out under the picnic table?

[Buzz Clik]

47. That's the best possible scenario.

Worst scenario: lots of platitudes and fake smiles as they pretend to drink for the cameras.

I wouldn't mind hearing Gates telling Crowley to take his racist beer and stick it where the sun don't shine and Crowley to follow up with some comment about uppity Harvard professors. Obama kicks Crowley in the nads, Crowley throws his beer at Obama and the Secret Service wrestle Crowley and his assaulting beer to the ground. That would make news.

[KansDem]

11. How many do you need for a chug-a-lug contest?

"Some people say" there will be a chug-a-lug contest...

[seabeyond]

12. they should have a guzzling two out of three as soon as they step in. and then

start the summit

[madinmaryland]

14. Beer. It's not just for breakfast anymore!

:beer:

[hedgehog]

16. Who is the designated driver?

[seabeyond]

17. crowley... he is "allowed" to break the law. lol . nt

[Enrique]

21. Biden

it's in the Constitution.

[seabeyond]

23. lol, cute. n/t

[jmowreader]

69. No one

They've got couches and shit in the White House; let Gates, Crowley and the president get totally shitfaced, then assign Gates one sofa and Crowley a different one.

[EOTE]

18. If it's with the President, it's got to be something really classy.

So I'm guessing like a pony keg of Natty Bo.

[Initech]

20. I take it he shouldn't bring Arrogant Bastard.

Not that I'm implying anything about the beer (which kicks ass) the name might be suggestive.

[KDFW]

41. Is it the cause...or the effect?

:D :rofl:

[joeybee12]

24. Summit? Like Mountain Summit? Not much, altitude and all...you get

drunk more quickly at higher altitudes. :evilgrin:

Yeah, i know you didn't mean that kind of summit.

[notadmblnd]

26. four does it for me, and I only drink it while bowling

[Zorra]

27. Last time I climbed Windy Peak I brought a teener.

Any more than that adds too much weight to your pack and it makes it harder to get to the summit, especially if you stop and have a few to lighten the load.

So I recommend no more than a teener.

[Parker CA]

31. This.

[panader0]

34. If they have these, theyll need a "stadium buddy" too.

Either that or they'll be pissin' in the rose garden.

[Buzz Clik]

48. Crowley wears that when he's driving. He's looking for a change of pace.

[Xithras]

32. Enought to require a Secret Service designated driver

:toast: :beer:

"Can I get a ride homme offisher?"

If you're sober at the end of a "Beer Summit", you're doin' it wrong!

[Old and In the Way]

33. Two Growlers per.

That should get them talking. Let me put in a shameless plug for Oak Pond Brewery's, Brown Nut Ale. Yummy!

[Initech]

45. Ah gotta love the growler.

As long as we're putting in shameless plugs I'll plug my local brewery as well:

[givemebackmycountry]

35. Correct me if I am wrong....

I think I heard it on MSNBC (so it has to be true) that B.O. is drinking Bud Light.
Bud Light.

:boring: :cry: :boring:

Crowley should arrest him for THAT crime alone.

HOW STUPID IS THE WHITE HOUSE THAT THEY WOULD RELEASE THE FACT THAT HE'S DRINKING A BEER BREWED BY A COMPANY CALLED "IMBEV"

Because when I think of beer, I think of IMBEV.

Jesus, could any of us do a better job as White House Advisers?
This SHIT ain't rocket science!

PICK THE HARDEST HIT AREA IN AMERICA AND FIND THE NEAREST LOCAL BREWER AND DRINK THAT!
MY MOMS CATS can figure that out.

Why do I belong to a party that INSISTS on shooting themselves with their own guns!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seabeyond]

38. what if he likes bud lite? nt

[givemebackmycountry]

44. WHO CARES WHAT HE LIKES! IT'S POLITICS!

Ever thing he does, every breath he draws, is analyzed and criticized!

HE WANTS TO KILL OLD PEOPLE!
HE WASN'T BORN HERE!
HE'S THE ANTI-CHRIST!

He goes back to the crib, he can drink all the Bud Light he likes.
But, at the most important beer drinking meeting in the history of the world, (and it has to be, because MSNBC has a FREAKING COUNTDOWN clock! With three beer mugs! It's HUGH!) send a freaking message!

Jeez....

[seabeyond]

52. so it really doesnt matter. might as well drink what he likes. nt

[Crabby Appleton]

67. You are completely correct!!11!!

[panader0]

43. I see the Broncos logo. If you are in Colorado you know that Coors

is one of the only remaining major beers owned in the USA. (Yeah, it has union issues). Sorry if it's not politically correct, but I like Coors.

[givemebackmycountry]

46. Sorry Sparky, but you are WRONG...

And Denver is one of the best BEER brewing cities in the whole country.
Ever hear of the Bull and Bush in Cherry Creek in Denver?
GREAT BEER.
They make a beer called MAN BEER.
Ooohhh, I LIKE Coors.

Sorry, you don't belong in this discussion.

Do you know how to use GOOGLE?
You know, to look up FACTS, before you post.

"The Coors Brewing Company is a regional division of the world’s fourth-largest brewing company, the Molson Coors Brewing Company, which was created in 2005. The most popular of their brews include: Coors Original ("Banquet"), Coors Light, Killian's Irish Red, Blue Moon, Keystone, and who can forget... Zima".

Politics aside, and in taste only, I personally do not like one SINGLE beer that Coors distributes in the U.S.
On the other hand, Caffrey’s Irish Ale, my favorite beer possibly ever, was purchased by Coors from Interbrew and killed in the U.S. so that Coors can distribute the swill they call Killian's Red.

Any questions?

[panader0]

49. Wow. Now chill out okay?

Look up CHILL OUT ON GOOGLE!

[givemebackmycountry]

51. Hey, I'm all about Chillin'

[anigbrowl]

56. You're wrong

The whole point of the varied selection is to suggest respect for individual differences, and to avoid accusations of turning the thing into a photo op for the administration's economic policy. Barack Obama may not even like Bud Light but my guess is he's drinking it specifically because it's so light and inoffensive that it says he can be sociable but isn't planning to drink much.

The crime of Bud light is not that it's made by Inbev - in fact it's still made by Budweiser, it's just that that company has been bought by Inbev - but that it's horrible watery beer. It's not about the beer, it's about conciliating hurt feelings.

[proteus_lives]

37. If none of the them have any other appts or meetings, case.

Get blotto, talk, yell, joke, throw a punches, cry, hug and pass-out on couch.

[seabeyond]

39. talk, yell, joke, throw a punches, cry, hug and pass-out on couch.

cute

[Gothmog]

50. Crowley bringing lawyer to Beer Summit

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6184921&mesg_id=6184921

Do you have to give the lawyers any beer?

[iamthatiamtatsat]

53. What time do you hit the booze--2 in the afternoon? I think the media's taking their pics at 6 pm

Yikes! I have to gather by the Internets ASAP!!!! Probably EST!

[seabeyond]

54. has to be after 5. or else a lush. n/t

[TexasObserver]

55. I want to know who will have to get up first to go drain their lizard.

[FarCenter]

58. They could have gone with an American beer from MA like Ipswich, Harpoon, or Sam Adams

Or if they must have an imported beer, then Smithwick's.

Can no one in the White House Google "Boston Beer"?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

59. If you come to my house for a beer summit ...

there are a few brands of beer in the fridge in the garage. Help yourself to whichever you like. If none of those suit you, BYO.

It's odd that the news is reporting that each summit principle specified a beer.

[iamthatiamtatsat]

60. Wouldn't it just be a HOOT if they all got sloshed?

And Obama put a lampshade on his head or something equally zany?

[seabeyond]

62. choke on a pretzel adn get black eye??? hold flag upside down watching sporting

event?

[DefenseLawyer]

66. Cannonball!

Cannonball comin'!

[wuushew]

61. Budwieser is the worst domestic beer produced

Only rednecks and people with wheat allergies buy that shit.

The teachable moment could have also included what makes a good beer.

[seabeyond]

63. being in coors country, i heard bud was number one seller in u.s. i dont drink beer. nt

[wuushew]

65. I don't doubt it has massive sales

its horribly bland, thin and cheap. I live in Wisconsin where we have no shortage of good brews. Still even Coors and Miller are much better tasting than bud.

This is nothing but political pandering. I guess if he buys too expensive a beer it would be somehow "elitist".

[Throd]

68. No, that would be Pit Bull Malt Liquor

It was the one beer I couldn't finish, and I have drank more shitty beer than most.

It tastes like something you would use to clean auto parts.

[Stevenmarc]

70. I bet you Bush is going to crash the party

[99 Percent Sure]

71. Hee @ "a six pack won't even loosen the tongue."

This mini-media dust-up is preposterous. Drink American! Drink Blackened Voodoo brewed by the Dixie Brewing Company in New Orleans.

Seriously, though, I thought it was reported that Dr. Gates doesn't drink beer.
