We'd get 20 pages printed out and then you'd yell, "Dammit, Duquesne put the 3 in backwards again, you dumb sunuvabitch!" I felt so much shame ... But your taut writing about women's soccer made the struggle worthwhile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You always have to put something in there about the weather when talking about the old days to the kids.

Of course, we didn't lay them out by hand. Somebody did it on a computer. But I had to know how to count picas and all that bullshit just in case. And we used a computer system from the early '80s with a green screen. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD IT WAS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duquesne Frog 4,204 Posted March 22, 2018 It's good for its category, cheap beer. If you are given the option of Shiner and Budmillercoors, Shiner wins hands down. Yeungling is the Pennsylvania equivalent. Compare Shiner to a good craft beer, Shiner loses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frogtwang 3,195 Posted March 22, 2018 All the shiner beers have a metallic taste in my opinion. My favorite Texas bock is Martin House’s Bockslider. Brewed right here in Fort Worth and named after the Toadies tune. They have a few collaborations with the Toadies. And their new one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say Harpoon is the equivalent here or maybe even most Sam Adams varieties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feeling Froggy 2,995 Posted March 23, 2018 Shiner Black is a sound brew. Some of their specialty brews like the peach and pecan beer (Cheer, I think?) are okay. Their cream ale is Lone Star level of nastiness, though. The bock isn't all that good, unless you are talking about it in these. Then it is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem for you and me is that the shipping is the killer. Last year when I was down I made sure to stop in Shiner and stock up on about $200 worth between the two... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
