Labatt Blue was my go to beer for a while but the stuff brewed locally under license wasn't consistent.
Now I get Coors Light also brewed locally under license.

Redneck here. PBR all the way.



Is that still sold? I don't remember seeing it but then again I don't
buy much beer anymore. When I do, I usually get Yuengling. Used to
be a Sam Adams guy but it's too heavy for me now. Yuengling is similar
but a bit lighter. Yuengling is also the USA's oldest brewery and brand.

I remember as a kid my grandmother being a big Ballantine Ale fan. Had
a green logo with "XXX" in the middle. Just looked it up. Production
stopped years ago but the name is now owned by Pabst. It was reissued
as an IPA in 2014 and is Pabst's entry into the craft beer market.


PBR in cans is pretty much everywhere, sometimes only in the 16oz can
but I like a bottle. The only place around here who has that is Total
Wine. I always buy all they have whenever I am there because they only
seem to have a few and I don't get up there often.

Good Lord!
These days a good 8 oz steak usually satisfies me if I have a baked potato and roll accompanying it. Oh yeah...we can't forget a nice cold 1w oz light beer.
If I'm hungry I might move up to the 12 oz steak.


My wife and I usually will split an eight ounce steak. One of the
restaurants we frequent serves up what it calls a tomahawk steak and if
memory serves, the menu describes it as a 30-36 ounce steak. I've seen a
couple of patrons order one at nearby tables...I can only guess that it
is either shared or a huge chunk of meat is taken home for Fideaux.

"Tomahawk Steak" is a clever way to serve you a great big bone at
restaurant prices. All they do is leave the whole rib bone on a butt
end rib steak, similar to how you "french" lamb chops. Usually they
cut that bone off.
I bet a 36 oz Tomahawk fillets out at around 16-18 oz of meat. The
meat they cut off that bone end used to be called "plate" and it was
so cheap at Swift that my sister fed it to her dogs. Then when the
fajita craze started, they called it flank steak and charged more for
it than the rib steak.


Dunno...the ones I have seen are gi-normous chucks'o'beouf.

If you think a 4 oz steak is a meal they are all huge chunks of beef.
The ones I looked at in Costco looked like a 16 oz rib eye on a 16 oz
bone. I kept walking.
I have seen rib steaks cut off the primal and it did not impress me.
The first thing they used to do was throw that big rib section up on
the band saw and cut those rib bones off.
In those days the plate was pretty much trash, not even worth throwing
in the hamburger. My brother in law could get all he could shove in a
grocery bag for a buck.

Weird Costco. I've never seen rib steak with the bone in at any of our Costco stores.

They had these at the end of the case with the Prime steaks where they
seem to try special/new items. I only saw them once.
I agree usually you just see the cryopacks with the whole boned out
rib, fillet or NY strip.
Then they will cut some up in styro trays for those who do not want
$100 worth of steak in the freezer. I also see they have "Caps" but I
am not sure if I am paying $19/lb for a cap.

Here they are cut into steaks, albeit large ones, although it is also possible to buy a boneless rib
roast. They do sell the whole tenderloins in the cryopacks. I've gotten to where my favorite is the
loin, tenderized with one of these:

What, you didn't drink Hull's Export Beer, a proud product of New Haven?
I worked there one college summer, loading kegs and cases onto
delivery trucks. Brand died some years ago, but I read someone in East
Haven is bringing it back.

My actual favorite beer, when I had one, was a Mexican brew from the
Yucatan peninsula, but the brand was bought out and disappeared. These
days, if I actually have a beer, I still prefer the Mexican beers and
the Japanese brews. I might go through six beers a year. Or, I
should say, they go through me.

My dad liked Budweiser. The only thing I liked about Bud was the horses.

One of the places we had in Florida had a "Rec House" in which we had
a fully stocked canopy bar with a "kegolater" and built in beer tap.
It held a standard, half keg.

The beer of choice then was "AmberBoch", made by Anheuser-Busch. Much
better than Budweiser but not as well known.

Every afternoon around 2:30-3pm many of our neighbors started showing up
in their golf carts to have a few. I even bought a commercial beer mug
cooler that could quick freeze about 60 mugs at a time.

Fun times, but it's all in the past now.

I used to drink beer often. Probably too often. But as I've aged I
just can't handle it anymore. Hate feeling bloated, even after only
two. I still occasionally have one but it's very infrequent.

Still like it but it just doesn't like me anymore.

Because he is an asshole.

I worked three jobs in the summers...Shick Razor while waiting for my
first semester to begin, Bigelow Boiler, and Hull's Beer. In the final
month of my junior year, I was hired for the summer by the KC Star, and
stayed on in the fall while completing my senior year.

usually still about the same as Publix on sale. If you know what you
are looking at you can usually get a better steak at Publix,
particularly towards the end of the sale.
