I saw the above poster while walking to dinner last night in Pacific Beach, SD, decided to take a pic (not w/ an Iphone) and let y’all see the class Miller Lite is showing. From my memory, the above beers were “wheat,” “amber,” and “blonde ale.” I really had no idea BOGGS could be so classy. Someone should go on a mission and track ‘em down and give all us Tasty Boozers a review.

We have all heard about the steroid allegations against Roger Clemens. Yesterday his former trainer, Brian McNamee, testified on Capitol Hill and turned over evidence that is supposed to prove Clemens did in fact use steroids.

What the fuck does a 10 year old Miller Lite can have to do with steroids? Did Clemens need to catch a buzz before he shoved a needle in his ass?

Thanks to Frank the Tank for the tip!

These sobriety tests are hard enough when you’re sober, let alone when you’re drunk. However, they do serve their purpose because you can definitely tell that Tony’s drunk (if the pass out in the car, in the intersection, wasn’t good enough). I love the line walk and his ABCs.

Here at TastyBooze we’ve highlighted some of the crazy/ridiculous things that come from Florida and Germany, but apparently Wisconsin has a little crazy too.

A Wisconsin man came home from hunting and requested his wife pick up some beer at the grocery store, when she refused he threatened the family goats. When the wife showed up with no beer, the man allegedly shot one of the family goats.

Now, I take note of always keeping the fridge stocked with cold boggs and usually have an emergency supply on hand in case some TastyBoozers crash the pad, but worst case scenario - just go buy your own beer. What did that goat ever do to you?

Let this serve as a friendly reminder, that with a long holiday weekend, you might want to stock up on the beer to avoid a situation such as this. And remember, always keep the beer on the bottom shelf, right J Diggles?

Here’s the original AP story.

I think ol’ Bobby Black needs another Boggs. Thanks to Coralita15 for the video!

Well, it’s almost December but it’s never too late to get your name in the running for Man of the Year. And I don’t want to speak for all TastyBoozers, but Kent Hodgson of New Zealand has my vote.

There’s nothing worst than a warm beer (well, there probably is something, but focus). The young lad from Down Under invented the Huski, a pen-sized gadget that when dropped into a warm beer can quickly turn a skunky room-temperature beer into a cold, refreshing one. I’m not going to go into scientifics, because this is just too awesome.

If not Man of the Year, he at least deserves his own Bud Light Real Men of Genius commercial. Kent Hodgson, I salute you.

Here’s the original article from the country that people are outnumbered by sheep 3-to-1: New Zealand Herald.

I don’t need an excuse to enjoy a cold beer but that doesn’t mean I am not going to take advantage of a great one when I see it.

In a rare piece of good news for those who like a pint, Spanish researchers say beer can help someone who is dehydrated retain liquid better than water.

Juan Antonio Corbalan, a cardiologist who worked formerly with Real Madrid football players and Spain’s national basketball team, said beer had the perfect profile for re-hydration after sport.

Looks like my parents should have been giving me half a beer at half time of the my little league football games instead of those bullshit orange slices.

A woman began stripping inside a Des Moines tavern about 10:45 p.m., Tuesday night and became enraged when she was told to stop, police said in a report. Officers were sent to the Sunrise Tap at 4155 Easton Blvd., after hearing that a female customer was out of control.

When police arrived the woman was being held down by patrons and fire medics. Officers were informed that the woman grabbed a whiskey bottle and started smashing things, including a window. Medics determined she was not seriously injured and the woman was taken into custody, screaming and thrashing about. While being placed in a squad car she allegedly kicked the door of a squad car pinning an officer in the opening and knocking him over.

I don’t think I have ever heard of a woman attacking people after they asked her to keep her clothes on. I am sure everyone involved thought they were doing her a favor (no one wants to wake up to a memory of a drunken striptease) until she smashed the whiskey bottle. How does a drunk wanna be stripper get a hold of an entire whiskey bottle? Maybe that is why she wanted to strip in the first place.

What you say? Boggs strike? That is correct. I am taking a stand against Miller and letting them know their latest attempt at marketing has rubbed me the wrong way.

If you don’t live in Seattle, then you don’t know about Miller’s sponsorship of UW Husky football. I for one refuse to drink a beer that is packaged in purple and gold, but it hurts to have go pick out an 18 pack of the competition, especially after so many great times with Miller Delites. So, in attempt to get things back on track for Miller up here in the Pacific NW, I wrote them a little feedback. Below are my comments, followed by their response (or lack thereof):

This may seem a little petty, but I like Miller Lite and I want you to succeed, so I thought I should give a piece of advice from a consumer. I recently have heard advertisements for Miller Lite as the official beer of the University of Washington Huskies. I have also seen 18 packs with Husky logos on them. I understand the thinking, but you should know that there is a large contingent of Washington State Cougars living in the Seattle area. Cougars and Huskies don’t get along very well. So when a Cougar sees/hears Miller Lite as the official beer of UW Football, the first reaction is to stop drinking Miller Lite. Whereas, a Husky probably wouldn’t change his/her preference due to any sort of sponsorship. And the reality is, Cougars drink a lot more than Huskies (this is fact, it has been statistically proven). My reason for writing this is not to have you jump ships and sponser Cougar Football (although that would be glorious). I only wish you to stop promoting Husky Football so that I can get back to drinking Miller Lites (aka Miller Delites, aka Boggs’). If you want to see some dedication to your brand, check out http://tastybooze.com/2007/04/the-origin-of-boggs/. This one article has logged over 100,000 hits and is linked through wikipedia and espn. Go on, read it. About two years ago we made the switch from the site stating “Where the Anheuser’s are Always Cold.” Search Boggs or Miller Lite on the search side, you will see the dedication. So, all that being said, why don’t you go ahead and drop this campaign so that you don’t have to divide Miller Lite drinkers. Thanks for listening and let me know when I can go back to my normal drinking habits.

And the response for Miller?

Thank you for contacting the Miller Brewing Company. We are glad to hear you enjoy our product Miller Lite. Consumers like yourself have helped to make us one of America’s leading breweries. We always appreciate receiving both positive and negative feedback from our consumers. Please rest assured all of your comments will be forwarded to the appropriate department.

Weak. You appreciate my interest in your company?!?! How bout my thousands of dollars I have spent on you. Not to mention some serious viral marketing that has been happening for a couple years. This is more than just an interest brother, it is a way of life. So I say get with the program Miller. Know your target audience and thank your faithful drinkers. I think my loyalty deserves more than a Dear John response.

So for now, I am on a Boggs strike. I encourage others of you disturbed by this new packaging with a strange looking dog on it to stray to the Anheuser. Who’s coming with me?!?!

With a record crowd on hand, made up of former Lofe Ta-Two-Peat (LTTP) All-Stars and devote TastyBooze readers, LTTP quickly turned multiple interceptions into points against this week’s foe, Multiple Scoregasm. Defense was key, as Multiple Scoregasm failed to come anywhere near the end-zone during the first half, as LTTP built a 32-0 halftime lead.

LTTP put it into cruise control for the second half, although Multiple Scoregasm was able to muster a single scoregasm on their last drive of the game, the victory was never in doubt with a final score of 52-7. LTTP and their adoring fans celebrated by throwing back a couple of post-game boggs while watching Kentucky upset LSU (both of which would be no match for LTTP).

LTTP closes out their regular season against PwC next Saturday, hoping to maintain their undefeated season and first round playoff bye. No big deal.

Check out this picture of JT shotgunning a boggs at a recent Green Bay Packers game. Respect. We need to get him a “Where The Boggs Are Always Cold” t-shirt to wear while he is shotgunning. Anyone know his address? I will send him mine.

Thanks to my lady friend for sending me this picture. You can see the full set of pictures at pinkisthenewblog.com

Yesterday marked the opening of the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in Denver, Colo. – or as I would call it, Heaven. The GABF is the beer drinker’s paradise and here are just a couple reasons why:

- 25,000 gallons of beer being poured at the festival
- 408 breweries on the festival floor
- 1884 different beers on the festival floor
- 75 different beer categories

The only catch is that all your drinking is done via one-ounce samples and ticket prices seem kind of steep at $45. But let me loose for four-and-half-hours at the GABF and I’m going to get my money’s worth for sure.

Some TastyBooze favorites are going for the gold medal this weekend, so down a couple Boggs in their honor.

The GABF is listed as one of the 1000 places in the U.S. to visit before you die. Are there any TastyBooze readers that can provide a field report from the GABF? I am proposing a TastyBooze road-trip to the GABF 2008, who’s in?

Apologies to our female readers out there for the raciness of this one…but my manhood was at stake if I didn’t post this ASAP. “Fill it up again!”
