Beer in the morning....mmmmm - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Once every 5 weeks I have to do an overnight shift. Well, I find it very hard to sleep when I come home at 7am. I am tired but can only sleep for like 2 hours at a clip and then only get about 4 hours total. My solution..?? BEER!

I tried sleeping pills, didn't work. Now I just put down 2-3 beers when I get home and I sleep for about 5 hours. This is great, drinking beer at 7am!

I usually try something different all the time. To me, any light beer sucks. Anything made by Anheiser Busch SUCKS. I go for the darker beers. I was stuck on Molson for a while. $18 for a 28 pack of NR bottles!

Favorite beer: Negro Modello
Dos Equis
Yeungling Premium
Augustiner Dark
Molson

Curent flavor I am trying: Red Hook (sampler pack)

Red Hook - was may absolute favorite when I lived in Oregon. A local bistro had a "pounder" for $1 DRAFT

. It's been missing from my life for almost a decade now - but - last week while in Knoxville a place we were dining had it draft, Yes I had a Grande!

I'm impressed by the Red Hook.

You got Yuengling down there yet?

Nothing beats Lindeman's Framboise Lambic... in moderation, of course. Sweet, but tasty.

For cooler months, Tenent's Velvet (if you can find it)
Summer: Pilsner Urquell
ANYTIME: Kronenbourg 1664

Very much so. Love my Turbodog and Amber. But I had some Gracier Beer several years ago and it won my heart.

I watched a show on Yeungling the other night. Interesting story--4th largest brewer in the US & the oldest!

The beer is mediocre at best to me.

It's not full and fancy, rich tripple anything... but around here it's priced in the mid-low range. (I won't mention the specific price because they vary so much from state to state) Maybe it just tastes familar... I prefer their chesterfield ale.
I drink it when I fish and it often draws the passers by to comment on their old sales route for Dick Yeungling... bla bla bla.
In the woods of PA it's a badge of acceptance. That and it just tastes familar.

I didn't mean to give the wrong impression--I don't mind it a bit. I thought all you Pittsburg guys drank Micky's Big Mouths (or is it little kings)?

It is pretty rare down here. I went to a wedding in St. Augustine last year and these two guys were gushing over it like it was a godsend and it was the nightly special at $1.50 per. I drank it all night and view it much like Budweiser, ect...

I haven't had the Chesterfield Ale.....just the regular in the green bottle with the gold label.

I think Beer doesn't travel so well. Best to drink whatever suits you thats brewed a days truck drive away or closer. Ever drink any chinese beer? Something spelled like 'Tsing Dow' almost 20 years ago was 5 bucks a case in Columbus OH... tasted like formaldehyde. But when I was in Tiawan I drank their state monopoly brewed "Tiawan Beer' and I will still swear to this day it was one of the best beer's I have ever tasted.
