With my day off today, I decided to enjoy the 80 degree weather and go out for a nice little round of golf. Of course, my golf bag was packed with beer to help me through 18 holes when my game goes to shit. But if I can have one drive as nice as this girl’s shot, it’s going to be a fantastic day!

Brewery Name and Location: Redhook Ale Brewery - Woodinville, WA
Name of Brew: Slim Chance
Style of Brew: Light (Lite) Ale
ABV: 3.8%

Earlier this year Redhook introduced their Slim Chance Light Ale, and have knocked it out of the park. The light or lite beer market is definitely a huge sector of beer sales, but when you have a smaller brewery enter the ring against the likes of Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite, there’s a lot of competition. However, to compare Slim Chance with those beers isn’t really fair. First of all, you’re not going to find Slim Chance in cans and maybe the closest competitor would be Samuel Adams Light.

I consider Slim Chance the beer for the health conscious boozer. Someone who wants to go to a party, enjoy a good tasting beer, get slightly buzzed, but not consume a ridiculous amount of calories while doing so. Slim Chance is only 125 calories and 8.7 grams of carbs per 12 oz., but still possess a 3.8% ABV. The most important this about Slim Chance is the taste, especially compared to other light beers, and finds a nice medium between a traditional light beers and some of Redhook’s other brews.

Slim Chance should definitely be considered for this weekend’s 4th of July festivities. It’s a beer that everyone can love, and love all day/night long, without filling you up too much and getting you blackout wasted before the fireworks start going off. Happy 4th of July!

The majority of the TastyBooze staff will be enjoying the 4th of July atop a deck overlooking Seattle’s Lake Union, the perfect location for the annual fireworks demonstration over Gas Works Park. Earlier this week, some douche tried to sue the city of Seattle to cancel the fireworks show because of environmental reasons. I don’t really know the history of the fireworks show, but I know it has been going on as long as I can remember, so, why now? Well, it doesn’t matter. Luckily, we have Stephen Colbert on our side and coming to our defense, so we can enjoy our Independence with shit exploding in the sky in cool formations.

Yesterday, “The Ledge” an all-glass balcony opened at the Sears Tower in Chicago. Just looking at these pictures make me want to grab a hold of my desk for dear life! I’m not necessarily afraid of heights, but this shit is ridiculous. The balconies are suspended 1,353 in the air, accessible from the 103rd floor of the building. Enjoy the view, assuming you aren’t afraid of heights.

During these hard economic times, people are more likely to cut back on their unnecessary spending and in regards to relationships, giving “Love Coupons” instead of actual presents. Be careful of what you’re writing these I.O.U.s for, as they might come back and bite you in the ass (literally).

Texts From Last Night has become one of my favorite sites recently. I enjoy finding texts from the 206 and 425 area codes and guessing which of my friends could have sent the text. This one, for example, was an easy one to figure out. However, this one is pretty impressive:

(231): we both passed out while playing beer pong, woke up in the morning and continued to play coffee pong to cure our hangovers

I couldn’t imagine this. If I’m that hungover, I need to be somewhere laying down and there can’t be anything around me that reminds me of alcohol, especially the smell of warm beer in the morning.

Screw you, Michael Bay. Somehow you’ve managed to take this iconic franchise and turn it into a two-and-a-half hour shit show called Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which you also managed to make borderline racist, sexist and nationalistic. Bravo.

At times, Transformers is just awful. Any attempt at building a story line surrounding Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) is utterly painful, the over-the-top slapstick dialogue belongs on ABC Family, not in a movie about robots fucking shit up. And Tyrese Gibson should not be allowed to act anymore, every scene that he was in featured one horrendous one-liners (which were usually just one word) after another.

Michael Bay did do one thing right: Megan Fox. Sweeping camera shots, low-cut tops for intense “Baywatch” style running scenes, and making sure she didn’t get too covered in dirt from surrounding explosions. Also, just limiting her “acting”, since we all know that’s not what we paid for.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is your typical big-budget summer blockbuster. Filled with cool special effects, lots of explosions and not much acting, for all that’s bad about the movie, it is entertaining and worth the price of admission. You may feel guilty at the end for liking it, but that’s okay, that’s what summer is all about; spending money on pointless shit and enjoying it while it lasts!

Without fail, if a television reporter is setting up for a live shot, there are going to be people around who start gathering and try to get their mugs on camera. If you’re in Las Vegas, there’s a pretty good chance that the people getting all up in your live shot are going to be drunk. Even when the story is on Michael Jackson’s death, they still have no respect. I would love to see what happened when they cut away.

Nothing sparks backyard party/BBQ like someone attempting to chug a beer, then getting hit in the head with a pan and pushed to the ground. Now this guy is going to wake up in the morning with a headache for two reasons.

Another video with no context, except that it involves a drunk girl smacking her face on a dresser. Upon further investigation, I think she’s trying to dance or do some kind of cheerleading move. Unfortunately, she’s wearing slippers on a hardwood floor, and without any traction, ends up fighting a losing battle with the dresser.

Baseball fans in Seattle will soon have the opportunity to drown their sorrows with a lap dance after a Mariner’s loss. A judge recently approved Deja Vu’s application to open a strip club just 400 feet south of the main home-plate entrance to the Mariner’s home of Safeco Field. Unfortunately, due to Seattle liquor laws, there will be no alcohol served at the establishment, forcing patrons to get drunk before entering ($8 beers, anyone?).

If Richie Sexson was still on the Mariners I could definitely see him frequenting the strip club between innings. He couldn’t get his batting average up, but at least he could get something else up. Of course, both the City of Seattle and Seattle Mariners were opposed to the strip club so close to the stadium, as I’m sure this will soon become the favorite hangout spot for players post-game. Which means less business for Cowgirls, Inc., the closest thing to a brothel strip club in the vicinity. Foul balls is going to take on a whole new meaning!

This is some pretty impressive art work and is much more creative compared to just drawing penises on people with a Sharpie. An added bonus is that these people will wake up smelling minty fresh, not their mouths, just in general.

This is only the second part of the interview that took place between Conan O’Brien and Bruno (Sasha Baron Cohen) on the “Tonight Show” last night. I’m pretty impressed with Conan’s ability to just sit there and take Bruno’s dancing, Leno wouldn’t be having it! We’re just two short weeks away from the release of Bruno, which I hope lives up to the hilarity that was Borat. You can see part one of this interview on Hulu.

Without them, we wouldn’t have this alleged picture of Katy Perry eating pizza in the bathtub. Well, obviously there’s a third person we need to thank, whoever is taking this photograph, and whoever that person is, I want to kick the shit out of them and take their place.

Also, pizza in the tub? Really? I mean I’ve been known to enjoy a cold beer while I bath before, but a full meal? I guess you should do whatever makes you happy.

This is the perfect combination of a workout and drinking! Beer has plenty of carbs to keep this bar going all night long!
