I decided its not redboarding if you brag that you bet a horse named Beer Is Good.......The weather has been good, the racing has been good, in August, life is good. As i opened my fifth or sixth Heineken yesterday............Beer Is Good was very, very good to me........"Damn, that beer was good." Why do i love the racetrack? :) The call was even better, "Beer Is Gooooood"

the point is, ladies and gentleman, that beer -- for lack of a better word -- is good.

Beer is right.

Beer works.

Beer clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Beer, in all of its forms -- Beer for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

And Beer -- you mark my words -- will not only save Horse race gamblers the pain of bad beats and unjust DQs, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the horse racing industry.

Thank you.

Beer, for the most part, sucks, unless one is eating steamed shrimp, or pizza, and with pizza its still iffy. People drink it because its cheap.

Hi Grits

Beer, many times, is the mcguffin of friendships. champagne wouldn't due.
cheap perhaps, but valuable.

You can say any drink is cheap couldn't you? For example... I can say wine is cheap because in some cases it is but I know there are also mid-priced wines and expensive wines. Same with beer... It all depends on what beer you drink.

Ahh yes..The response from the upper crust. Here to tell us members of the great unwashed masses how things are. Ok. I get it.
Wow.. Such vitriol....
Ya know, my parents brought me up to do two things. Unless asked, keep my opinions to myself. And if I don't have anything good to say, skip it.
As I grow older, my parents get much smarter.

I have to agree. :ThmbUp:

Some of the best seafood in the world, and beer is not only a solid compliment to the old bay, but picking crabs is a social activity as well.

MCL, I could count on five fingers the bottles of champagne I've had to drink. Strictly wedding stuff.

Again, I don't care what you drink. I'm not buying your beverage. I rarely drink beer, I don't care for it -- Pretty straightforward.

And at what particular point in time during your childhood was it that your parents learned their child was deaf?
The only "wow, such vitriol" in this thread is your own..

Beer is good. And FREE at Saratoga Brewery Tasting Room at 131 Excelsior Ave Saratoga Springs, NY 12866. Many local restaurants will also deliver food there for you to consume while drinking the free beer. And the tastes are quite generous.

Might depend on what beer and/or your definition of cheap:

Each is entitled to their own opinion. You don't care for beer.
It is your reference to 'cheap' which sticks in my craw.
It's as if you look down upon those that enjoy a 'suds'..
Including many on here.
That will be all.

Life without beer would hardly be worth living....but....

Beer is bad.....for gout.

Beer is bad for getting "beer goggles", a potentially dangerous condition, especially near closing time.

I have seen many instances of the resulting effect of beer goggles...
It can be embarrassing.
Imagine getting up right after paying your tab near closing time and in your field of vision is a guy who has gone to the "end of the bench" and is in a lip lock.
UGH!!! Scenes like that reminded me to temper my intake of adult beverages.
Anyway...Cool name for a horse. Great call by Durkin.

Sugary pop is bad; diet pop is bad. Guess one will have to drink more beer.

...but wine is better.
Wine gives you the "non fighting" buzz that seems so prevalent when folks drink beer or brown liquors (bourbon, tequila, rum, scotch).
Never got wasted on wine and thought some dude was giving me the stank eye from across the bar :D

Don't do much champagne, but Krug is the world's best imo....not cheap though...bout $200 a bottle. Armand de Brignac "Ace of Spades" is very good also...comes in the solid silver bottle.

If i'm drinking beer it's gonna be Heineken and nothing else.
