    There's no excuse for tailgating with BMC Lite (that's BudMillerCoors). Almost anyone in the USA has a good local craft brewing scene that they could support. In Philadelphia, there's Flying Fish, Victory, Phila. Brewing Co., Yards, Stoudts, Weyerbacher, Troegs, Dogfish Head, Dock Street, Sly Fox, ...

    Just be careful tailgating with beers like Golden Monkey - that 9% alcohol will catch up to you quick! Try the Prima Pils instead. If the hops bother you, get Stoudt's Gold. Take pride in what you drink!

    All that said, I do enjoy the occasional Miller High Life!

    This is why you don't drink those kind of beers at a tailgate. I drank half a case of Golden Monkey before a Birds game before. I was a MESS. Miller Lite STRICTLY for tailgates of any kind. Bland, delicious, and I can drink many of them because I need a beer that satisfies not only my thirst but also alcoholism during a 8-9 hour period.

    Sierra makes the BEST BEER out there. As a Canadian, I can only get Sierra when I am down in the US (usually on my PJ road trips), but I always stock up on the IPA when I am in the US. The Anniversary Ale, Celebration Ale and Porter are all amazing beers too. Still waiting to track down the stout though...


    Sierra does make a very good IPA for a good price. You should also try Stone Brewing Co's IPA and Ruination IPA. They are really good.

    As far as Belgium beers, I've been a huge fan of La Chouffe for quite some time.

    They just starting shipping New Belgium beers to Atlanta, GA a few months ago. the Hoptoberfest was really good.
    Stone Brewing IPAs are really good but Arrogant Bastard and Double Bastard are freaking awesome!!

    lol. . . this is not the first time I have heard "The Monkey" getting the best of someone. I think that stuff was specifically made for hangovers and punishment.

    They are definitely "sipping" beers. . . nothing I would tailgate with or drink in large quantities before I had to do anything involving moving or being concious.

    right on! I went to college in chico, ca where the sierra nevada brewery is located. amazingly, I never got sick of their beers, even though that's all anyone drank at parties and such. Their celebration ale this year is amazing, good stuff.

    Right now one of my favorites is anything from Ommegang Brewery, http://www.ommegang.com/, they make some great Belgian Ales. My favorite being Three Philosophers.

    I am also into the Stone Brewery stuff. I had a 2008 bottle of Double Arrogant Bastard last night. Of course the Ruination IPA is the stuff of legends.

    Unfortunately I have attained a very expensive taste in beer. Life was so much simpler when it was Coors Light and even Heineken.

    Sam Adams Utopias and 2 bottles of Deus

    Everything from Ommegang is outstanding. Hennepin, in my opinion is one of the best beers in the world.

    I hear you on the expensive taste, I rarely walk out of the Foodery in Philadelphia spending under $60 or so.

    I think I'm going up to Cooperstown this summer for the Ommegang beer festival. A buddy of mine did it last year. He volunteered, ended up pouring beers for people, while pouring some for himself for free and getting hammered. People got wasted and just passed out in the fields. I am looking forward to doing the same.

    I usually go with some yeungling when tailgating. It's sucks though becase I have to travel to new York to get it. They don't distribute to Ct for some reason...

    People are becoming rabid fans of Lager just as I'm getting sick of it. Have drank too much of it over my lifetime.
