I only ever knew one person that drank Iron City. Cool bottle though. I like the short necks.
If you would like to hear a disturbing story on this topic let me knowā¦

All of the old people liked it. That & Stoneys. Theyād salt it and do boilermakers, so it probably didnāt matter as much how it tasted.

I got super into stouts before I quit drinking. There was a breakfast stout that I loved! It was so yummy. But I could only drink one. They were sooooo filling.

. Really?
My old breakfast stouts were usually room temp. And might have a cigarette butt in it.

I had about 10 one time and went to the magistrate for my drunk & disorderly hearing. Guess how that went!!!

Ha! An elegant description of my fellow Golden Corralers. The state fair here always provides some drama for me at work. Every single year, honestly. Infidelity, kids getting up to mischief, fightsā¦ During my graduate school internship I had a kid, age 15 at the time, who was court-ordered to anger management because he pulverized another kid at the state fair. I loved that kid, and his mom. I heard last year that he died of an overdose, which was sad. Previously Iād heard that he started college, which could have gone well, as he was bright, but he dropped out. I once broke confidentiality enough to tell a girl āabsolutely notā when she said at 16-17 that she was hanging out with him. A smart, funny, good-looking nightmare. She did back away from him, and is the one who told me that heād died. GC would have been a place heād choose for his birthday dinner. Which is the case for a lot of my state fair-going patients.
Speaking of smart, funny, good-looking nightmaresā¦ Iād have probably broken confidentiality enough to warn teen girls about you, @SkyzykS!
And lastly, the guy who runs sap lines through our land and makes our maple syrup has that exact fridge in that exact garage, except itās full of Coors Light. Sometimes one of the dogs is Louie.

The part that makes me chuckle- I was reading myself into that description too!

Perhaps the wrong threadā¦..however. There are things in life that should never have the word āLightā in the description, beer and ice cream are two of them.

No argument here that the fridge in question should have either Budweiser or Yuengling, which seems to be what the local hard core conservatives have switched to when Bud committed their grievously wrong Bud Light commercial. Personally I like Coors Light, but Iām not a burly mountain man, so itās okay. There are many manlinesses that I fall short in.
Ice cream, agreed.
I would have taken you as an Iron City fella

The best widely available beer is still Guinness. Remarkably low in calories, tastes great, more fillingā¦ plus you can try to āsplit the Gā. The best harder to find beers are abbey ales; the Ontario Government Alcohol Monopoly Shoppeā¢ sometimes has them in stock.

made me chuckle lol I feel your pain.
When my parents moved to Canada from Britain sixty years ago, the Ontario Government Alcohol Monopoly Shoppeā¢ was not permitted to put bottles on public display. Lest this encourage vice and consumption of evil liquors. You had to fill out a form, possibly between the hours of 3pm and 4pm, and the clerk would give you your purchase with a discreet box and withering look.

Guiness is the best widely available beer.
Reasonable take!

Itās not gender related w/me. The women in my life drink stouts, and enjoy full fat ice cream, in moderation of course.

Stouts are my preference (or rather were) and I absolutely refuse to eat low-fat ice cream.
