Back in the old days when I actually went into an office where other people worked, I was the beer guy for the company fridge. That fridge serves up everything for Thursday's 4:30 happy hour. If there wasn't Miller Lite and Mich Ultra in the fridge, I would get strung up by my heels. I try to mix it up with the craft stuff, but there will always be "shit beer" in the beer fridge.
They picked the right guy - You were good at what they asked you to do!Back in the old days when I actually went into an office where other people worked, I was the beer guy for the company fridge.

Ive been buying Dragonfly quite a bit recently...the $8 sixpack price is hard to turn away for a pretty good beer...
And CliffJumper from CountryBoy too because Kroger always has it well-stocked...
Thanks. I had to let a lot of crap work it's way through the process. There was still something like 4 different kinds of cream ale in the fridge 3 months after I took it over. Luckily the wine drinkers aren't picky and they're easy to shop for. Bourbon was the challenge for awhile, but once I realized they'd drink a $6 bottle of wine, I was able to keep a handle of Four Roses in the cabinet.
Dragonfly is one of my favorites too. Not a daily drinker, but it's always in the fridge. Meijer has a lot of Founders in the system, so All Day IPA or Centennial IPA has been what I've been drinking regularly for most of 2020. 15 packs for $15.
I think I'm going to try to make it over to Great Fermentations and buy some grain & yeast, or at least some extract. I still have hops in the freezer. Time to fire the brewery back up.

I have to admit that I’ve grown tired of the hazy and fruity IPAs. Maybe that will change with the weather. I’ve been going back to some old favorite malty IPAs - 2 Hearted a s SN Torpedo.
Alright...Im going to agree w you on the Light Two Hearted...I didnt mind it the first time or two...
But took a 6 pack to the neighbors last night for a fire pit...and I struggled to get past the 3rd one...
How about a some 2014 Bourbon County followed by a 2015 BA Behomth from 3FFF

So Bells does actually make a bad beer...
This was new to me tonight, and at 8.5% and $17/4pack had high hopes after a 5hr day in the sun/pool....flat/bland/bad aftertaste...just a poor product(canned on 5/4/2020)
Id have traded at a loss of 2to1 for the $11/4 pack of Pseudo Sue that I skipped over to try this Bells...

They aren't perfect but they are damn near perfect
I was able to get two six-packs of the Double Two Hearted yesterday. They received 2 total cases. Lady cashier let me get 2. Manager told her as I was leaving she messed up - 1 6 pack limit.
$24.99/6 packs...I wont be back for more...but glad I was able to get it.

I had some on draft on Sunday. It is great. I don't know if I would get two six packs good but cheers!
Sluggo is picking up his Dark Lord and other assorted goodies tomorrow
I bought a 6 pack of Lagunitas' Sucks IPA. Not much of a malt backbone, but dry hopped to the nth degree. Lots of citrus and just a really good beer if dry hopped IPAs are your thing. My plan was to drink it during during the bucket game and send a picture of it to my purdue buddies everytime IU scored. Now I'm going to save a couple for the hoops matchups.

Sucks is amazing. A few weeks back I picked up Sucks and SN Celebration. Two of my favorite seasonal beers. I actually got out a couple days ago and bought the remaining few six packs of Celebration from my local grocery.
I enjoy the entirety of the SN offering. I really miss their Vienna lager and Otra Vez.
Just picked up my annual 6er today. Probably gonna dive in on Monday.
Can. Not. Wait.
I like them, but I'm not drinking them all the time especially now. This time of year it's big malt backboned beers like Double IPAs, Imperial Stouts or Old Ales that I'm looking for. This weekend, I found a Bells Expedition Stout in the back of the beer fridge. A scoop of good french vanilla ice cream and some of that stout was a great dessert while the rest of it warmed up a little in my glass.
Reason #274 of why I've gotten fat.
