Light beer is evil.

[Tobin S.]

It should be abolished. Also, no beer lighter in shade than Obama's new suit should be sold in this country.

1. So....my dear Tobin!

If it is so evil, why are you drinking it?

[Tobin S.]

2. I no longer am, my dear Peggy.

My beer this evening is a pleasant hue of brown. I gave up beer entirely before I realized that I needed it for medicinal purposes.

3. I'm glad to hear it!

Cheers!

4. If you learn to like IPA's--THEN you will not only have a new beverage--

you will have a new obsession. It can alter your life!
You sem like a busy guy, so, you know, one thing at a time!

[Tobin S.]

5. I do not like IPAs and I think that's pretty non-negotiable with me at this point.

But I've never met a brown beer I didn't like.

6. You are beyond hope, then--

there are many good brown beers, though. The fun is in the discovery!

7. as a rule, if I can read through it, it is too light for me.

we are pretty much exclusively a stout/porter household!

8. Hold on a second there, partner!

The beer has to have less than 500 calories per 12 ounces or I start worrying about staying in football shape.

Actually, I haven't gotten into the black beers, yet. I don't like Guinness, but I have to admit that I haven't done much experimenting in that realm of beer indulgence.

9. Guinness is lightweight stuff compared to the two I showed!

Not all that caloric. I lost 60 lbs 3 years ago and kept it off....it is all about portion size! These big dark ones are so rich my wife and I split a bottle as a sipper predinner!

It may be sacrilege, but American microbrews are far better to us than the big better known brewers...including Guinness. Though we certainly wouldn't refuse a pint!

10. It's almost Marzen season

I love IPA's but come autumn I really start into the Octoberfests.

One of my favorites and one of the best I've ever had anywhere some really beautiful malts with just enough hop to let you know it's there. Absolutely delicious.

Thanks for the post

11. Light beer is evil. Drink IPAs instead!

[mackerel]

12. The black stuff now there's a meal fer ya!

[sakabatou]

14. You can't tell me what to do!

I'll drink whatever beer I find tasty!

15. beer snobs are evil.

[Tobin S.]

17. I am trying to save the planet and I'm concerned for your troubled soul.

You can lead a horse to Sam Adams, but you can't keep him from drinking Miller Lite.

16. LOL!

I'm not a beer drinker but my husband agrees with you.
