You drank all that BEFORE a concert?

Yeah, that only amounted to about a pint and a half. They were just 4 oz pours.

website says tap only but it from 2018 origionally isn;t it?? Tropical Torpedo - Tropical, Fruity IPA | Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Has it been that long? It must have made a really good impression then. Hmm… Yeah, it was really that good, IMO.
I had a beer ‘tasting’, and they brought out those little glasses. I commented ‘Is that a taste, or a tease?’ Some laughed. ‘Oh, we’re hoping you will buy a case of what you like and take it home!’ the attendant said. Well, yeah, but that size glass is good for a smell, not a ‘real taste’.

For when Hamms just doesnt give enough of a dirty feet taste 
There will be no Hamm’s slander in this thread….don’t make me flag that post.
There will be no further slandering of Hamms as long as you agree to cease slandering the goodness that is a well crafted Mexican lager, with lime, of course

I think my dad liked Hamms. But he also liked Old Milwaukee, and when Consumer Reports named it ‘best beer’, he had to rub it in. I mean as if their opinion would matter. Well, for beer… They aren’t always right. IMO…
Did I slander one? I don’t remember….I might have. 
but I am not against a good cervesa w/ a lime on a hot summer day. It just isn’t my first choice.

Hamm’s was the beer we drank my last year or two in school, so it is a nostalgia thing mostly for me……but it actually a pretty damn good “standard” beer. Definitely my choice before a Bud or anything similar.
Old Style and Pabst round out my Top 3 “standard” beers.

Lol. Not going to lie, I drank an awful lot of $1 cans of Hamms at the local dive bar when in college.

Top 3 standard beers is a good topic.
I suppose Modelo would be on there…we’ve gotten a case of that to drink the 7-11 parking lot like teenage delinquents for years after the fast Wed group ride.
Probably Old Style and Corona to round it out.

In college when you were accumulating debt. My memory is pretty foggy
but I vaguely recall Leinenhugels or Strohs or Old Swillwaukee or PBR or some random Wisconsin beer being the cheapest beer in the 80s, in da yoo-pee of MI. Something like $5 a case. Ya sure you betcha.
Omg just remembered what we bought in desperate times when our wallets were almost empty:
We always said Goebels with a fake French accent!

Said in your best / worst French accent.
A truly vile beverage.

My dad and I never had ‘the beer talk’. Well, or the ‘woman talk’, or really much of anything. He wasn’t that kind if guy I guess.
He did like Hamms, but then changed to Pabst, and the Old Milwaukee. I never knew why, and was stuck on Olympia (Oly) at the time because that was what I could get without a license (after the age went back to 21). Come to think of it, he didn’t talk about much. He thought I was a hippie at one point in my childhood, and I was ‘tolerated’? Sad, but…
I didn’t even know what his ideology was until I asked my brother. Did surprised me, and was not at all what I thought he was. Weird how you can not know somethings about your parents. He had good reasons, as if he needed them for being what he was, but… Oh well…
I did steal one of his beers, and went back to Oly. Mom was into ‘Cold Duck’, and ‘brandy’, and it made my sisters sick so they should have stuck to beer. 
In college, Coors had come out with their ‘Part Ball’. I actually found the old party ball tap in my mother’s squirreled away booty from our past lives. The wife actually found it and wasn’t sure what it was. Took me a few seconds to reach back and drag that up. It was a good idea, and I think a couple of other beers came out in it (all related to Coors, of course) but that was then, and now you can get a ‘mini keg’…
Speaking of which, I had a mini keg of Bell’s Hopslam. Someone asked who I had to kill to get one. I don’t think they have ever done one since, sadly. THAT is some hoppy oat soda, for sure…
