I was wearing my Guinness T-shirt yesterday at an Italian festival, and all these people with macro beer in plastic cups came up to me and said "you drink Guinness?" with a horrified expression on their face... I told them yes (horror expressions continued) and then also that I home brewed (relieved expressions) - and then they asked what kind of wine I made... Horror resumed when I explained...

Reminds me of why I love living on the left coast; nobody is having events & serving shitty beers at them.

But isn't the OP on the West Coast? Or doesn't Alaska count? :)

I am with ya, Chuck! I won't pay for crappy BMC beer. Blech. Just give me water!

However, with that said, since BMC is what's served after most running races (for free), I will drink it then. Because, well, it's free. And I never turn down free beer. :whistle:

I've done that. A girls's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
At the same time, I have a bottle opener on the keyring that holds my house keys, so I'm never without it when I leave the house.

I was never a Boy Scout (and I sure ain't one now ;) ), but I believe in being prepared.
Two things I learned in college that will stay with me forever (unlike Differential Equations):

1) Putting salt on a napkin will keep the glass from sticking to it.

2) I can open a bottle of beer with literally anything other than an apple, but then again I have never tried using an apple.

Agree with not drinking a bad beer. SWMBO and I were at a family Christmas party and all they had was MGD and Coors Lite on tap. Now, SWMBO can drink with the best of them, but I dont think she even had one glass that night, and it was MY turn to be the designated driver.

Like I has said in my original post, I can usually get at least a fairly decent craft beer or equivalent when I go to a bar, a bar and grill or a restaurant. It's the small town celebration beer garden style venues that I know I'm going to have a problem with.
