How about Archie Bunker's brand?
I remember my father explaining to me about the concept of inventing a fictitious brand for use in a TV show or movie. This was the case study.
I'll take a case of Bud Light and family sized bag of Cheetos. And I'll be set for a weekend of Football (college and pro) and Warcraft.

In PA, Philly area, if you ask for a "Lager" they give you Yuengling. When I was at Pitt, you could ask for a "beer", and you'd get Iron City staring at you with it's cold, dead, lifeless eyes.
I love that beer. None of my places have it up yet... Now I have to go bar to bar looking for an armadillo.

Yeah, the goode olde dayse back before they realized they could make money using real brands.

You'll know the armadillo when you see it...big shell, long snout.
Old Chicago was the place I saw it. I'd tell you which one, but then you might track me down and run me over with a truck.

Ugh. Iron Shitty. Made from the finest used steel-plant water this side of the Appalachians!
Whiskey and Irn Bru for me thanks.
My pleasure. Barkeep, something sweet and intoxicating for the brainless pussy, and something spicy for me, please!Heyya bubs. Haven't seen you 'round here for a while. Buy a kitty a drink?

Blah, its cold as balls here. I'll have a hot buttered rum please.
But it's rum. That's been warmed up. And then someone put butter in it. That's...that's just wrong.
Someone get this man a hot grog. Put it on my tab.

*sneaks a bottle of Jake's homemade wine*I'm bottling 12 gallons of red wine tonight. Depending on the amount of sampling required, work could be a little slow tomorrow.
Winemaking is great, but I miss having time to make beer.
My parents had a friend who used to make some of the best homemade red that I've had. It was deceptively potent. Tasted almost like grape juice, but had a punch you never expected.

As noted earlier I make beer. I'd love to make some wine, but I don't have enough room at the moment. I have 10 gallons of Apfelwein aging and they're taking up about half my fermenting space. So I've this little corner for beer.I'm bottling 12 gallons of red wine tonight. Depending on the amount of sampling required, work could be a little slow tomorrow.

We should do a booze trade. I'm transfering a Wit to secondary tonight.
Actors.... right... totally....

After seeing the shipping charge when I sent a bottle to Zen, I don't think it's worth it to swap except in person.
I used to make a vicious Wit. I found that adding about 4 oz of freshly shaved ginger root to the secondary sent it into heavenly territory. Really brings out the wheat tang if you're brewing all-grain. Using about 5-10% of your grain as rolled oats is nice, too. I was working on a lime zest and lemongrass Wit with a little chili spice to it, but I don't think I ever perfected the recipe.
And yes, work has been a little slow today. Sampling 12 gallons of 14% abv wine here and there apparently adds up.

That's true, shipping is costly. So much packaging and the weight to delicious is not slanted favorably.Jake said:
I've heard of using ginger root before. I thought about trying it next time I make a Wit. This one smelled wonderfull when I checked on it earlier.
I need to bottle 5 gallons of my Apfelwein in the next two or so weeks. I don't have a corker or enough wine bottles though. I still want to make wine

I had a Kiltlifter today at lunch. It was ok. I always try to get a Tucson made beer when I go to bars/restaurants, but they didn't have any today.

Mine does as well. But I need to go down there and apparently that's taking a lot more willpower than I thought I had.
Anyway, back to posts where people order drinks.
