Remeber those Hamms commercials...I miss those commercials. I want to set
up a blind taste test for beer snobs. "take the beast ice challege". Maybe
I'd have to use Blitz or something though, the taste of the Beast is a
little too distinctive.
I didn't say that people in portland were arrogant in any sort of in your
face, belligerent sort of way. It's exactly the opposite, which is much
much worst. The portlander is very content and at peace being 100%
convinced that they are 100% better than you.
I bet Modest Mouse drink the beast ice.
