Great! Now that I have you attention I can tell you about a little problem I have with beer. I can’t afford my new find!
Nope
, I don’t drink too much, but I did see the documentary entitled “Beer Wars”. It’s about small craft brew companies trying to make in it the world of beer. It focuses on how the big 3 brewers InBev(Bud), Coors, and Miller all try to keep the little guy down and out with such things as frivolous lawsuits and copying their ideas.
Since watching, I’ve basically boycotted all beers made by the Big 3 – That a lot of CHEAP beer, but also some not so good beer…I’ve learned that Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite etc., all taste like crap. Really just some fortified water…and that’s where the problem comes in.
I’m a cheap S.O.B. and these craft beers are anything but…Take for example my current fav, Snake Bite IPA by Flying Dog, on sale it’s 7.99 a sixer….I was able to get 18 pack cans of Coors light for that sometimes…BUT, I have figured out the value, it’s in the alcohol content (this is a 7.1 ABV) so I don’t have to drink 9 of them to get a decent buzz. And the taste…who knew beer could taste so delicious. So many different flavor combinations I never knew existed in beer.
Another benefit to the craft brew is since i’m not drinking 6 or 7 per night, it was like an automatic diet – I’ve actually gone down 2 waist sizes.
So, in actuality, I can afford the craft beers because I drink fewer, I feel better, there’s no hangover and it just plain tastes better….So, never mind…Problem solved!
