Make sure you bring the right beer

Or else....

A Valley Falls man was critically injured this weekend during a fight in which he was stabbed. Brandon K. Smelser, 25, Valley Falls, is facing first degree attempted murder charges. Smelser allegedly stabbed Christopher Daniel, 22, also of Valley Falls, during a fight in the parking lot of the mobile home court at 1208 Oak in Valley Falls. The incident began around 12:40 a.m. Saturday when Smelser allegedly took issue with the type of beer Daniel brought to a party. Smelser was allegedly upset that the victim brought Natural Light beer to the party instead of another brand. Daniel was taken to St. Francis (Hospital) where he remains. Smelser was booked into Jefferson County Jail around 2:30 a.m. where he remains.

I can't say I blame him. Natty light is pretty much brewed just for teenagers to drink in fields.

If someone brought Natty Lite to a party, I'm pretty sure I'd get violent on them. Most likely run them off the property in a hail of their own crappy beer cans.

Natty Light - for when youre too poor to afford the cab ride to the welfare office

This was brought to the party at our house last night

ok.....it was payment for changing a wheel bearing on Montana.

I will admit, I have been to parties where people made a run to get a big ass box of Old English.

But we were already drunk, so it's ok.

I hate to say it, but really, if there was ever a time that the phrase "whatever, fags" was appropriate, this would be it.

Hey Grizz, wanna know how I know youre gay?

...JK...kinda

Natural Light, Bud Light, Michelob Light - it all tastes about the same to me. I drink whatever is cheapest while I do yard work. Those are just beers for staying hydrated when you don't feel like drinking water.

^This..........Sorry guys, but beer snobs approach the same levels of smugness normally reserved for Prius owners or the over-compensating levels for Hummer/Corvette/Porsche/BMW drivers.

I'm on a tight budget and like to drink beer, so Natty Ice fills the requirements - cheap, high alcohol content and relatively low on calories. When the budget allows for more "luxuries", it still doesn't/won't effect the beer found in my fridge.

Yea, once everybody is smashed, we usually switch to Lucky Lager or Black Label... mmmm, Black Label

In reply to oldsaw:

Some high gravity beers actually aren't all that expensive if you are looking at alcohol consumed rather than cost per unit. I buy the Rasputin shown above for $8.49 for a four pack. There is another one I buy (I forgot the name) that is $9.99 a six pack for 10% alcohol. For actual alcohol, that comes out pretty close to the cost of Budweiser or some other bong-water flavored beer.

Yes we do, we have damn good reason to. I'd rather drink free water than cheap, nasty beer. For that matter I'd rather drink one good beer at 3x the cost than 3 crap beers. But I drink it for the beer itself, not to get drunk.

This.

I choose not drinking over drinking the cheap stuff.

Come on. He was supposed to bring Milwaukee's Best. He deserved to get stabbed.

Not the Beast..... never the beast. If anything, Grain Belt or High Life.

Yeah.

My weapon of choice for yardwork is Milwaukee's Be(a)st Ice. Cheap - $2.19/4-pack of tallboys. Potent - 5.9% ABV.

You know, stick a lime in Miller High life and its pretty damn close to a Corona. After maybe 2 or 3 you would be hard pressed to tell the difference. Hows that for some cheap beer?

It's not like you can taste anything after that much Jaeger and Absinthe.

It's the old rule, if I'm not buying I'll drink anything.

Most of what I've been drinking lately has been various Sam Adams' brews. However, I do take exception to the dissing of Natural light. I find that a cold Natty light in a bottle is a pleasant and inexpensive way to quench one's thirst. I've long felt that it's one of the most satisfying cheap brews around.

Beer snobs, wine snobs, car snobs, whatever. A snob is a snob. Can't we all just get along?

Hell, I don't even go to Natty Light anymore for the cheap stuff. Around here Bud/Natty costs about $18 for a 24 pack. Pabst? oh, you can get that at $16 for a 30 pack. Yeah, I wear plaid sometimes...

a lot of the time i'll bring high life if theres going to be a bunch of people in/out of the fridge and there is a high probbability of someone running out and grabbing whatever is there, because nobody's going to steal a high life as long as there are any of the other light/lite beers in the fridge. has worked pretty well so far.

In reply to Strizzo:

Corona is awful. I'll take the High Life.
