Grin And Beer It - Part 2

Sierra Nevada - This beer seems to be consistently popular with the just-over-thirty crowd that are in a mellow mood and want to stay that way; they are not the type to do shots or get in fights. This beer is just like the people who drink it: smooth, calm, and kind of hippie boring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada_Brewing_Company

Fat Tire - Oh, the hoopla created over the introduction of this Colorado beer to the beach was even bigger than the screams about Michael passing away. The excitement seems to have died down quite a bit, and there seem to be less and less people ordering the 22 oz., $5 bottles that were so hot in the springtime. That's too bad because it is a very, very good beer. The reaction from most people seems to be that it is way too sweet, but that flavor sort of goes away once you get half way through the bottle, and the high you get from drinking a bottle is a very happy feeling. The price is probably what is keeping the sales down, plus the fact that such a large bottle will get warm real quick like out on the porch in the warm air of the South, while it may have been fine in Colorado. It's also a great bottle to use for hitting people over the head. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Belgium_Brewing_Company

Pacifico - This is one of the better sellers on the island. It taste way better than Corona and, once again, you get that feeling of being in Mexico and being all beachy. Lots of the surfing types swear by this beer and will drink the hell out of it when it's affordable. Tower 7 and Lagerheads sell a shitload of the stuff all year round, so get on the bandwagon and give it a swig. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac%C3%ADfico
