Guinness is pretty great-- for a Light Beer.
Last March/April obviously after St Pat's Day we stopped at the local sports Bar that for the longest time had 2 dollar drafts. We use to procure Guinness at this price(felt like theft) any way they quit buying it in Kegs a while back because of the the price jump and the younger crowd doesn't seem to enjoy a good Draught as much.Well as luck would have it last spring they ordered quite a few kegs for ST, Paddy's Day and we reaped the windfall - at 2 Bucks :singing: .Couldn't believe it like ugly on a Steelers fan we were all over it .Was prolly myself and our small assembly that finished their reserve during the basketball tournament. I asked the lord if he could kindly arrange some kind of time warp for a few forlorn souls

I was gonna have a Coors light, but the Bud distributer was sitting a couple stools down
Ha back in the day(mid 90s) when Miller was still decent there were a couple of us Miller swillers surrounded by Bud guys. Anyway same-same Miller just unloaded their truck and was at the bar finishing paper work and bought us a couple

reminds me when Id ask my dad which beer he liked hed say the one thats on sale that week
My dad use to buy kegs when my brothers and I were young and he had it in the cellar. With the washer/dryer,workshop,weights and furnace - none of those fancy-shmancy rec rooms like today. When I was in JR High after football me and some buddies would sometimes empty the contents if the folks weren't around. Of Course dad always suspected my one older brother and his friends .Well the ruse only lasted for so long until  my brother threatened to stomp the snot out of me if I kept it up as he was catching some grief. Years later after the fridge died he'd buy find the cheapest sale in the county and stock up. Genessee was great on tap "Our One Brewery Makes It Best".

Pints of Guinness at $2 is a crazy steal.  Not sure I've seen prices like that around here since the late 90s.  MAYBE early 2000s, but it's been close to 20 years anyway.

The clubhouse for the Braves spring training facility has a fridge next door with Bud Light and Mic Ultra.  The latter tastes, well, awful, to me.  I sat around with the guys quaffing the BL for a while.

They both taste bad IMO  But Mich Ultra is so light that it has less flavor, which is actually a good thing, because less bad flavor, is better than more bad flavor, every single time.

I know it's not really beer, but it's almost beer and it was "free"

The post also stated: "Heineken launched no less than 61 new products on the #Russian market last year after promising to stop investing there because of the war in #Ukraine."

Heineken in March 2022 had vowed to pull its business from Russia after the country invaded Ukraine. But an investigative report from Netherlands-based website Follow the Money states that the company's reports showed its Russian arm "launched 61 new products 'in record time' and sold 720,000 hectoliters more beer and soft drinks."

Heineken was quick to respond to the controversy in a formal statement: "We’re working hard to transfer our business to a viable buyer in very challenging circumstances and we expect at a significant financial loss to the company, amounting to around €300M.

"In the meantime, our local colleagues at Heineken Russia are doing what they can to keep the business going, after fully delisting the Heineken® brand, to avoid nationalisation and ensure their livelihoods are not at risk."
