NFL Draft Expanded to Three Days and Broadcast in Prime Time

This is the culmination of everything I love about Field Gulls

Lol, god yes.

What a tremendously accurate question.

I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.

Ugh I hate the 3 day idea but love the fact I can be even more hammered when we don't select sanchez.

I'm on beer hiatus

But when I return, I’m looking for some quality beer that’s lower in alcohol content. Any good suggestions?

Bleh. O'Douls....

Are there any non-alcoholic beers that don’t suck?

No.

Beer requires alcohol to not-suck.

False.

by abender20 on Jul 24, 2009 11:03 AM PDT up reply actions

(Although I'm not debating that non-alcoholic beer sucks, just that beer stands on it's own merit without requiring the need to get you drunk)

by abender20 on Jul 24, 2009 11:04 AM PDT up reply actions

That's not necessarily disagreeing with Nick.

Alcohol has other properties than getting you drunk. Those are the ones I’d like to stay. I’m pretty sure the alcohol content affects the beer’s body, because every N/A I’ve ever tried has a thin and watery feel to it. Alcohol also alters the aroma and thus the taste of the beer. If anyone knows of any non-crappy N/A, please let me know….

by thebyron on Jul 24, 2009 2:22 PM PDT up reply actions

Agreed.

Lower in alcohol content? Kona Pipeline Porter. German hefeweizens.

Stone Levitation is on the lower side too, if I’m not mistaken.

by abender20 on Jul 23, 2009 4:06 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm not a big pilsener person, but Prima Pils is 5.3%.

by abender20 on Jul 23, 2009 4:08 PM PDT up reply actions

I like Kona's Wailua Wheat

Same here

didn’t expect that much passion fruit to still be pretty good.

by jacobstevens on Jul 24, 2009 10:55 AM PDT up reply actions

It's a touch too fruity for my beer tastes, but it certainly is unique.

by abender20 on Jul 24, 2009 11:04 AM PDT up reply actions

I think Levitation comes in around 4.5%

and so does Mirror Pond.

by ninjasocks on Jul 23, 2009 4:18 PM PDT up reply actions

Levitation was good at first

but it’s taste keeps it from being a session beer.

Is Kona any good? I’m not wild about most porters.

by John Morgan on Jul 23, 2009 4:28 PM PDT up reply actions

It depends. I generally find chocolatey porters to be too sweet, but this is only has Kona coffee in it.

I’m a big fan. Unfortunately, it’s seasonal and this is not the season.

by abender20 on Jul 23, 2009 6:53 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm OK with chocolate porters

but when the anise is detectable, yech.

Coffee porter sounds great. I’m a porter guy.

Speaking of session beers

(Full Sail) Session is one of the best. I know you wouldn’t think it from the name, but trust me on this one.

Also, +10 internets for the poll. You owe me a bottle of Windex for cleaning the beer spray off my monitor though.

by Camarostache '77 on Jul 23, 2009 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions

They also make Black Session

I’m not a huge fan of the beer itself (its a little flat-tasting for a lager), but I’m a big fan of the stubby bottles it comes in.

by ninjasocks on Jul 23, 2009 9:05 PM PDT up reply actions

So what's session beer?

I’d seen Full Sail Session, before, but otherwise had never heard of the term.

by jacobstevens on Jul 24, 2009 12:28 PM PDT up reply actions

Almost any IPA you can get over here in Europe is between 3.5-4.5%

It’s really baffling.

Guiness?

They sell (sold?) the stuff in grocery stores in SLC, where most beers have to be 3.2%. I’m not sure that the liquor boards would make an exception for them or that Guiness would brew special batches for them.

by ninjasocks on Jul 23, 2009 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions

If I'm going to drink a stout, I am going to drink one I enjoy.

Guinness is bland.

by John Morgan on Jul 23, 2009 4:29 PM PDT up reply actions

Guiness isn't my favorite stout, either

But Obsidian clocks in at 6.7% and you asked for a low-alcohol beer.

by ninjasocks on Jul 23, 2009 4:34 PM PDT up reply actions

It would seem low alcohol and good are pretty much mutually exclusive.

by John Morgan on Jul 23, 2009 5:17 PM PDT up reply actions

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout is 5, if that counts.

by abender20 on Jul 23, 2009 6:52 PM PDT up reply actions

I love Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

That’s a staple.

by John Morgan on Jul 23, 2009 7:15 PM PDT up reply actions

What an outstanding beer.

I didn’t realize it’s only 5%

by thebyron on Jul 24, 2009 8:00 AM PDT up reply actions

Then there's Samuel Jackson's.

You don’t really have a choice with that stuff. He’ll kick your ass if you don’t drink it.

MacTarnahan's Blackwatch Cream Porter

Its a porter, but it tastes like a stout to me. It’s probably pretty close to 5 or so. It tastes like a mocha should taste (like dark chocolate and black coffee had a baby).

I just learned that Ratebeer allows you to make a customizable Top 50 list, which includes adding ABV restrictions.

That’ll help.

Harpoon Brown Session Ale

Haven’t had it in quite a while, but it was pretty good IIRC. (Can you guys find Harpoon in WA? Their Oktoberfest is tasty….)

I'm a huge fan of their Bachelor ESB

It can be tough to find sometimes, but its worth the effort. Its a little hoppier and a little maltier than your standard pale ale.

I missed the second day of the draft this year

I thought it was a hangover. It turned out to be the flu. After I recovered, I discovered that there was a swine flu outbreak in process.

by ninjasocks on Jul 23, 2009 4:06 PM PDT reply actions

Lost productivity, anyone?

Second day trades should become more prevalent as a result. The improved last-minute negative rumor mill will be fun to experience.

by Groundhog on Jul 23, 2009 4:12 PM PDT reply actions

So it looks like the picks are going to start at 4:30 PST on Thursday

That’s not really “prime time” for anybody west of the Mississippi. If I get home and turn on the tube at 6:30 PM, I’m missing the first 10 picks or so. Sucks for us.

by ninjasocks on Jul 23, 2009 4:37 PM PDT reply actions

I'm confused...

why is there not a “No” option??!?

I saw a shirt the other day that said, “I’m like a chocoholic, only with alcohol.”

Please, for the LOVE OF GOD, stop suggesting next year's 1st round pick (or picks) be used for Taylor Mays and or a QB of the future. Let's just let the season unfold, people, and evaluate much deeper in the process!!!
