[Blu-ray Neo]

Budweiser and a few other American beers tastes like horse's pi$$.

I routinely drink 1 or 2 beers with dinner, but then I don't have to get drunk to enjoy beer. Now tequila is another story.

[Vip3rni]

surely you would prefer more than 2 for a superbowl.especially in that heat id be dry tequila, now your talking, with lemon and salt

If you need more than 2 beers to have a good time, then you have bigger problems.

Two nights ago I experimented. I got a Bud Select. It was not bad, for American beer.

I used to stay around the New Orleans area years ago,and I used to enjoy
Abita Amber( a local product). It doesn't travel well at all as a matter of fact
the NOL big deal chef (Emille Lagasse)who has a place in Las Vegas, couldn't transport the
stuff 2000 miles to the desert.
Also, Micro-Breweries everywhere in the USA produce really great Lagers,Ales
and excellent Dark Beers.

Please don't put American Beers down. Samuel Adams Winter Beer is no slouch. Brooklyn Beer wins awards too.

To me, Heinnys taste just awful. Coronas are OK. It seems to be fashionable
to put down American beers.

I can't stand Heineken. It has (to me) an awful aftertaste. I'm partial to Canadian beers. Give me a Labatt's, Moosehead or Molsen any day.

I'll be drinking Schell's Original, making my award winning chili.

Nice. A bunch of non-fighting pouges will get to drink and watch the game while combat arms does the "military thing."

I hope supply and admin get this perk along with everything else they get being REMFs. I know they do their job so well that you will never see a grunt missing gear or holding a FUBAR LES.

(I hate when the guys in the rear get something to boost moral so a bunch of googly eyed civilians can clap like special ed about how good we treat our military.)

I hope your "googly-eyed civilians" comment wasn't directed at any of us here. I see nowhere in the article where it states only "certain" soldiers will be allowed to partake in the festivities. I'm also not so naive to think those on duty will be permitted to drink. Most of the replies on this thread show a strong support for our miltary. We're not the ones you need to be mocking.

I posted this more to applaud the fact that we actually said "to Hell with Islamic rules, we're Americans, and we're going to celebrate the Super Bowl with beer!".

No on this thread or forum. No worries.

I already read it somewhere else, and did not read the thread, so no one here is acting silly as far as i can see.

Just my opinion that the guys who miss out are the guys who deserve it the most. The guys who get it deserve it the least.

I am also in a little bit of a bad mood over some military related stuff that has to do with pouges and grunts.



Edit to say, FOR SURE not you for posting it. I agree that it is good that at least someone gets to have a little fun.

Ahhh classic... good stuff... but like others have said, we're not being totally fair... it's just the big breweries that make crap beer in america... theres a lot of small startups and micros that make great beer.

[STARSCREAM]

For those complaining that you only get 2 apiece, it depends on your tolerance. For me, 2 would have me pretty drunk. I'm a light weight and cheap date.

Hey, what about good ole Dixie beer? Of course I would definately put Abita about 50 steps above Dixie.

Ah maybe you should actually try some real American beers then, because it's clear you have no damn clue about what you are talking about! American micro brews routinely kick the #@#@ out of most euro brews yearly!
