The Shining?

LOL....not The Shining, I guess from that description, I could understand why you would think that though!!! Its a Disney movie that gets played at the campfire sometimes.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

So, you hate me yet Jen.... LOL See all the trouble I can get people into

I think I like DFtW or just DFW now that I know what FTW is I will pass. I am really leaning towards DFW.

On the other important topic today, beer should not be desecrated with anything fruity !! Or veggie for that matter, and definitely not with clam slime

While stationed in Germany, I took a liking to a drink called Rahtler, which was beer with a shot of lemonade in it. The Germans actually mix a lot of stuff in beer. To this day, on a hot summer day, I like a shot of lemonade in an icy cold one. Before you knock it, try it sometime.

I have a copy of this movie. It wasn't one of Disney's finest, but it is a cute flick. It would probably be better after you've had a couple beers. Hey, you know what - this would be a great film to dump on sometime on the Useless Facts thread.

Is there a mouse a rat or a dog in it?

You and John (the DIS' version of Mystery Science Theater 2000) are long overdue for a Drunken Movie Review. I think that should be a weekly event with its own thread!!!! Heck....they might even make it into a movie for ya'll to dump on!!!

I do feel the urge for a DMR, but I don't think John's wife will let him play with me anymore.

Ok, I'm no beer drinker.....but I am a sucker for girlie advertising, so I decided to try the new Michelob Ultra cactus lime something or other. The box was pretty. Yeah, yeah....I know...... Anyway, it tasted like beer with a flowery after taste. I drank it......... But I'm not all together sure I liked it. I thought cactus....hmmmmm......I Really like a prickly pear margarita! It was no margarita. Hey, some like it sweet!

I vaguely remember that, but I don't think I ever tried it. I do remember bamaba though, aka 33 aka tiger pi**. They put something in that but I don't know what it was. Almost as bad was the Pabst Blue Ribbon. That was bad stuff, but I didn't know any better.

In England it is called a Shandy, and when I was there in 87, I was like 19, (my mom and my brother etc live there) I drank those a lot!! I was not a beer drinker yet! It was what sent me down the road to that wonderful world of barley and hops!

I do feel the urge for a DMR, but I don't think John's wife will let him play with me anymore.

My wife don't run my life ( she's not looking is she) I run my own life, and I would be proud to ewatch a movie with you any day!!

Ok, I had seen this mentioned on a thread before and it raised my interest. I found this.....now,Its one thing to frilly-ize beer...but to group it with foods is a little over the top.....if ya want wine with dinner, just order wine:

Between now and Labor Day, Anheuser-Busch will be selling Michelob ULTRA Fruit Infused Beers - a line-up of three new flavors available in a 12-bottle variety pack, or a single flavor 6-pack. The flavors include Pomegranate Raspberry, Lime Cactus and Tuscan Orange Grapefruit.

From their website, they recommend certain food pairings for each flavor. They state:

Pomegranate Raspberry: Serve with marinated pork and fresh vegetables. The subtle hint of berry in the beer plays off the tenderness of the meat and the light carbonation brings out the flavors in most grilled vegetables.

Tuscan Orange Grapefruit: Serve with lighter foods such as salads and grilled chicken. The tanginess of grapefruit and clean citrus taste enhances the overall flavor of these dishes.

Lime Cactus: Serve with ethnic fare such as spicy chorizo-based dish or carne asada tacos because the beer balances the dishes' heat and brings out the subtle smokiness. It also pairs well with seafood.

Though it sounds good in theory, I will reserve judgment until I'm able to sample them myself. Don't be too quick to judge until you've tried them though - remember what happened with Miller Chill not too long ago?

I recommend Kungaloosh with beans and hot dogs. The subtle fruitiness contrasts the spices in the hot dog nicely, while the rum mixes with the vapors produced by the beans to produce a fine bouquet.

NOW I know what I did wrong! I didn't eat tacos with my beer! What was I thinking?????

I didn't know about the other flavors.....I guess I'll have to try those too. They also look pretty


Ok.....this is really sad....pity me.......this may be as close to wine pairings as I can get for awhile! As it turns out....I am allergic to wine!!!!!! I know...it is tragic! I am abstaining for a while. It's the darn tannens. They make me swell something fierce! The doc says to try again after about 2 months. Wish me luck!

Not sure what the Wonder Beagle ate, but it has given him some wicked gas tonight.
