Anyone want to meetup? We are think about 7PM,
StJohn? Who else is local?

I was foolish enough to let mk and thenewgreen order drinks and we wound up with a round of PBR & Js. Thanks so much to these guys for the best night out — you couldn't ask for friendlier, livelier company. We have to do this again. Just get a cab next time so your car doesn't get broken into. Did you get back all right?

What is the J? Isn't PBR really crappy? I've heard it's like the American equivalent of Dutch Gold or Stella Artois.

No, actually. They package it up real nice here, with paper you've gotta tear off, but I have a friend who spent a couple of years in France that has also claimed Stella Artois is like PBR over there. I believe it; Europe's Big Beer (the beer "establishment", if you will) is of higher quality than ours, but microbrews are sweeping the nation here in the U.S., so I'm not complaining.

No. You don't understand. Stella Artois is literally a better beer than PBR. PBR is that shitty. The only reason PBR became popular with hipsters is because they could get an 18 pack for less than $10 and so they would drink it "ironically" because they didn't want to admit they're actually buying it cause they can load up a cooler for cheap. There is a long list of beer I'd be willing to drink before PBR. Rolling Rock. Killians. Budweiser. Miller. Stella Artois. Heineken. A few regional shit brands. PBR is the beer you drink, not because you're desperate, but because either your tastes suck or you hate yourself and your friends so much you buy it to make everyone suffer. Stella Artois is the beer you drink because the restaurant you're eating at is trying to look cultured by having import beer, but doesn't have a purchaser who knows their beer for damn.

Solid follow up, A++. The first time I ordered a Stella was at Olive Garden, and I said "I'll have a Stella Ar-to-ee". Nope, this isn't my biting sarcasm or one of my fictional comedy sketches, this one happened.

No worries, I was working crazy late last night, so I wouldn't have been able to make it. Def let me know when ya'll try this again though, and hope it's been a productive trip.
