How much beer do you keep in the refrigerator?

[ntsammy5]

I like several kind of beers, but lagers are what I like most. Since I live in close proximity to Canada, there are several Canadian beers that are inexpensive and very good. There are also some more expensive ones. Prices range from $13 for a 28 pack case of Molsons or LaBatts to $25 for a 24 bottle case of Moosehead, my all time favorite. At Fort Wilderness, I will drink Icehouse because it's cheap and a pretty good beer and maybe get some Molsons/LaBatts. I've also found Grolsch at the Trading Post, but not for several years. In addition to those above here's some of the other beers that are in the fridge now:

Stella Artois
Guiness
Heineken
Amstel
Bud Light
Sam Adams
Adirondak
Several Other Micro Brews
Yeungling
Spaten
Fosters
Corona
Dos Equis
Upper Canada​

I do have a large refrigerator devoted exclusively to beer.

Man, I'm thirsty. I'm going to get a brew now.

At Epcot, I always do WS counterclockwise so I can hit Canada and UK first because they have the best beer.

Sunday, DS(28) and I will go to the Bills game and start tailgating about 8:00 am. Since the Bills aren't the best team in the NFL this year, we'll take along a couple of cases to help ease the pain. Moosehead, Harp, Molson, and Dos Equis are already packed -- some in the 24 & 36 oz variety.

Well, enjoy the weekend. I know I will even though I'll be far from the Fort.
Sigh, belch!

Next time I'm in West Seneca visiting the inlaws, I'll stop by.

Sure. Better yet let's meet at FW. When are you there? My tickers say it for me.

There never seems to be a lot in the fridge although I buy some regularly.


Since its supposed to be cool tonight we are planning a campfire in the backyard, I will have to make a beer run this afternoon.

There is usually at least a case of Coors Light around our house for hubby, and there is a regular rotation. 12 in the fridge, and 2 or 3 in the freezer for 20 minutes before drinking.

Y'know, it is very nice to know that I am not the only person out there with a "Beer Fridge".

Actually, to hear DW tell it, it is our "Beverage Center".

I keep it in the laundry room (that way I can sneak beers from into the garage or pool area)- centralized location).

Currently Beer Fridge has the following:

Sierra Nevada- amber ale. West Coast beer. Strong.
Shiner Bock- thick neck "Gunther" type beer from Texas.
Michelob Ultra Amber- wuss beer, but surprisingly tasty for a wuss beer.
Miller Chile Beer- DW likes it.......tastes like a wine cooler to me (blech).
Erdinger- Dunkles Hefe-Weizen. A wheat beer. My absolute favorite beer bar none. Got addicted to it when stationed in Bavaria.

I also favor the counter-clockwise Thunder Run thru the countries......twice we never made it past Rose & Crown.......good times.....good times.....

More importantly, top 3 beers that go to FW with us if we drive as follows:

1. Michelob Ultra Amber- for the part-time beer enthusiasts.
2. Shiner Bock- my "touring" beer.
3. Erdinger- hang out at campsite and stoke the fire/BBQ beer.

Top beers if we fly:
1. Michelob Ultra Amber
2. Yeungling (good beer also).

Note, I brush my teeth w/Bud Lite & washmy hair w/Miller Lite rotfl2: )

LOL! Your post reminds me of a family story. My mother was raised Catholic, my dad very, very, very, very Southern Baptist. After the wedding Daddy enthusiastically adopted his in-law's attitudes toward beer. One hot summer Friday afternoon my mom rushed home from the store with a case of Schlitz. They couldn't wait for their beer to cool down in the fridge so she put a few bottles in the freezer. Ten minutes later my very, very, very very Southern Baptist grandparents stopped by along with my uncle, the Southern Baptist minister. It was a long visit and one by one the beers in the freezer began to explode. I felt bad for my Mom but it was kind of funny watching her fend off MeMaw's questions about just what was wrong with our fridge and Granddaddy's offers to take a look.

Thanks for the memory,

Jennifer

Don't Encourage NTSAMMY5!!!

The only time I have beer in my fridge is when ntsammy5 (otherwise known as "Bo-Bo") comes and crashes our vacation at FW!!! He does it every year!!! As a matter of fact, he no longer waits for me to invite him! He starts bugging me around May or June wanting to know what weeks we have in December!!!

He's such a dear older brother!!

I used to love beer! Actually, I still do! But since achieving the golden stage of hot-flashes, beer no longer loves me!
Bummer

 

[Mr Man]

In that case (24p pack), how about some "beer quotes" so we can all understand NTsammy5's life choice:

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Benjamin Franklin

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. Frank Zappa

He was a wise man who invented beer. Plato

Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza. Dave Barry

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, That's as good as they're going to feel all day. Frank Sinatra

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. Ernest Hemingway

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. Ernest Hemingway

You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. Dean Martin

A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her. W.C. Fields

What contemptible scoundrel has stolen the cork to my lunch? W.C. Fields

Beauty lies in the hands of the beer holder. Anonymous

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. Tom Waits

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? Stephen Wright

Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me. Winston Churchill

I would kill everyone in this room for a drop of sweet beer. Homer Simpson

Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. Dave Barry

All right, brain, I don't like you and you don't like me - so let's just do this and I'll get back to killing you with beer. Homer Simpson

Alcohol, the cause and solution to all of life's problems. Homer Simpson

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." Cliff Claven from Cheers!

I like your story better.

As much as I like this story, if it were true I would be a GENIUS

That's not entirely true. Sometimes I come other months. Sometimes I stay at SOG. Sometime --- well you get the picture.

Beer is good. Me.

 

[ftwildernessguy]

Sure. Better yet let's meet at FW. When are you there? My tickers say it for me.

My next trip is 17-27 October. We definitely have to synchronize a trip sometime, if for no other reason than a 'round the world beer tour at Epcot.

We do too...well, sort of. We have a refrigerator in our garage for just drinks that houses beer (for me), Lynchburg Lemonade (for DH) and fruit boxes (for DS). I'm a connoisseur of fine beers but I only keep a six-pack or two for a month in it. Lagers are my favorite but for health reasons I have switched to lites and only one beer a night on weekends. Right now I'm on the Miller Chill craze. I love Corona Extra with lime...yes, I occasionally fruit my beer but Miller Chill is a "healthier" alternative.

 

[bigdisneydaddy]

Dont make me have to find my copy of the "man laws"

No fruiting the beer ! Unless of course a good Dominican cigar can be considered fruit, then it becomes a fine accompaniment.
