A beer drinker is coming over to my place

[MamaMia]

I'm having company and the mister loves beer. I was told that his favorite is that Fat Tire or is it or Phat Tire? Well anyway, the lady at the liquor store said that I cant get it in Oklahoma. Is that true? I felt I should ask because even though she is very helpful, she has been wrong before about a certain wine I requested.

[royalfan5]

It's Fat Tire, and it's come from the New Belgium Brewery in Colorado. I'don't know if you can get it in Oklahoma, apperantly y'all have all sorts of arcane booze laws that complicate things.

[picasso]

load up a 12 pack of strawberry wine coolers. it'll be funny.

She's right they don't sell it in Oklahoma...:(

You can get it in Eureka Springs Arkansas or Fort Collins Colorado.... though.

Fixed. :mad: :(

Can you guys at least get Boulevard?

[MamaMia]

Can you guys at least get Boulevard?
Yes. I know, because thats my sisters favorite. Its pretty tasty.

I shall write the governor! :mad: What should I say? :O

[usmc-sooner]

if you know someone in the Army or Air Force they might be able to get it at the 7 day or package store at Fort Sill or Tinker. Not sure but might be worth a try.

[SoonerInKCMO]

Can you guys at least get Boulevard?

Yep. The problem with Fat Tire is that it only comes with > 3.2% alcohol, New Belgium won't allow it to be sold warm and you can't buy refrigerated, bottled/canned beer in Oklahoma that has greater than 3.2% alcohol.

I think you can get it on tap though. At least in theory. Maybe.

[JohnnyMack]

Can you guys at least get Boulevard?

Hells yeah! Boulevard Stout RMFO!

[MamaMia]

Hells yeah! Boulevard Stout RMFO!I've only tried the wheat.

[Okla-homey]

I shall write the governor! :mad: What should I say? :O

Tell his excellency that our arcane beer law is absurd and that if we could buy cold 6.0 beer there would be such an outpouring of love and support for him his re-election would be assured.

And that If he could somehow use his influence to allow the geniuii in the legislature to pass laws allowing the same beer selection in OK as is available in states bordering us he could be elected Emperor of Oklahoma for Life.

It would be a suitable and completely fitting way to celebrate the upcoming Centennial of our statehood.

Exactly! What better way to celebrate the centennial than getting wasted and burning the whole thing down! :D

Yes, real beer and wine in grocery stores. Is that too much to ask??????????/

[tbl]

Fat Tire is the suck... big time. I was NOT impressed.

[JohnnyMack]

Mom, go buy some Chimay. That'll impress him.

[Okla-homey]

Mom, go buy some Chimay. That'll impress him.

Be careful on the Chimay though. Make sure its the red label kind. The blue or almond label are kinda funky.

Or Stella Artois. Trust me on this, I've never turned anyone on to it who didn't like it, male or female.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

You can buy warm cases of it at Costco in Houston. 19 bucks.

I'm not sure what the liquor laws are here in OK. I mean, I think I learned them one time, but I forget.

If you want to impress him, go to the liquor store and buy a 9 buck sixpack of Anchor Steam. It's an ale brewed with lager yeast. It's good. Maybe not 9 buck/sixpack good, but it's rare and he'll be impressed.

Its' higher rated than Fat Tire too:
anchor steam (http://ratebeer.com/Beer/anchor-steam-beer/46/)
fat tire (http://ratebeer.com/Beer/new-belgium-fat-tire/424/)

[sooneron]

[typical whorn fan]Get some shiner!!! It's the best[typical whorn fan]

Get a couple of sixers- Some Hacker Pshorr Heffe Weizen, and some Harpoon IPA.

Too bad they don't have Saranac down there. Their 12 beers of summer pack RMFO.

[Mjcpr]

Get some Bud Light and pour it in a glass and tell him it's some kind of fancy beer; he'll never know the difference.

They currently have an Anchor Steam seasonal "summer brew" out I had the weekend before last purchased in the cosmopolitan and beer aficionnado friendly city of Witchatittay. Very nice.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

OOh, good call on the Stella.

Had some stella at a hotel in Naples, Florida one year. It was good.

Basically, any L337 beer drinker like me will be happy if you come up with something that can't be bought in the grocery store.

Go down to Coaches and buy a half gallon of the amber beer there if you can't find anything else. He'll love you for it.

[MamaMia]

Are we going with the Stella and if so, what other? I'll get two kinds. Y'all really need to narrow your beer to two that we all can agree on, because what if I have a party and invite you people?

[SoonerInKCMO]

Color me cornfused then. :confused:

[LilSooner]

If you like boulevard then you will like Blue Moon w/ a slice of orange.

Stella, while a decent choice is kind of boring and not all that ambitious.

Fuller's London Porter

Chimay Red Label

Boulevard Porter

Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout

Or, if you wanted to completely Rhismother****in'FO, buy him one of these:

This is really going to upset Chick, I'm afraid.

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

She's not going to put a rolleyes smiley at the end of her post is she?

I TAKE IT BACK.

[Mjcpr]

She just might.

[1stTimeCaller]

Hey Mom, are you gonna get this guy liquored up and then take advantage of him?

[MamaMia]

Hey Mom, are you gonna get this guy liquored up and then take advantage of him?
Not if I cant figure out which beer to order. :D

[Beano's Fourth Chin]

Get the Stella and the Steam.

You'll impress him with the alliteration if nothing else.

[MamaMia]

Get the Stella and the Steam.

You'll impress him with the alliteration if nothing else.Okay. Stella and Steam it is. Thanks everybody. :)

<shakes head>

[MamaMia]

Up and down, or back and forth? :P

[Mjcpr]

Up and down, or back and forth? :P

A shake is back and forth, a nod is up and down.

[JohnnyMack]

Up and down, or back and forth? :P

<shakes head disapprovingly>

[MamaMia]

A shake is back and forth, a nod is up and down.Well...is Stella and Steam as good as Fuller's London Porter, Chimay Red Label, Boulevard Porter, or Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout, or that Trappistes?

[Fugue]

A shake is back and forth, a nod is up and down.

you would know the detals of head. :texan:

[Jimminy Crimson]

Go with Summer Sam. Because its summer. And stuff.

[MamaMia]

<shakes head disapprovingly>Please narrow your list to two. :D

[IB4OU2]

A shake is back and forth, a nod is up and down.

Al Swearingin says that to Betsy all the time.........

[JohnnyMack]

Please narrow your list to two. :D

If I was gonna buy two types of beers for someone I knew was a beer fan that I knew liked Fat Tire, I'd prolly get Chimay and Anchor Steam.

[MamaMia]

If I was gonna buy two types of beers for someone I knew was a beer fan that I knew liked Fat Tire, I'd prolly get Chimay and Anchor Steam.Okay. Thats a good compromise. Then I will order those two. I like mild beer thats really smooth myself. Are these that way?

Also, thanks again SO. I can always count on you all. :D

[Mjcpr]

Okay. Thats a good compromise. Then I will order those two. I like mild beer thats really smooth myself. Are these that way?

No, those are harsh as hell and will choke a horse but still dee-lish.

[BoogercountySooner]

She's right they don't sell it in Oklahoma...:(

You can get it in Eureka Springs Arkansas or Fort Collins Colorado.... though.

Bubba's BBQ MMMM MMMM!:D

[MamaMia]

No, those are harsh as hell and will choke a horse but still dee-lish.
Lovely. So, am I to understand then, that Fat Tire is harsh?

[JohnnyMack]

Lovely. So, am I to understand then, that Fat Tire is harsh?

Beer isn't served with fruit.

Evar.

LIME IS FRUIT AND IT IS SERVED WITH BEER!!!

[Okla-homey]

The red label Chimay and Anchor Steam is officially ordered.

Well you is in good shape. Try to get them faintsy "Chimay" goblets to drink it from. They typically come packed in the box of three bottles. Quite festive.

Now, about that Anchor Steam. I don't mind telling you on me and Mrs Homey's first trip to San Francisco back when I was a shavetail second lieutenant fresh out of the punkin' patch, I was a little reluctant to drink any thing made in SF with "steam" in the name, but it was good. The beer that is.

I wouldn't bring that up or nuthin' with your guest.

Jeez Louise, I hope this doesn't turn this into a ghey thread;)

[ChickSoonerFan]

She's not going to put a rolleyes smiley at the end of her post is she?

I TAKE IT BACK.


You got a problem with the way I post? :rolleyes:




She just might.

Aren't you smart. :rolleyes:

[MamaMia]

The most important question yet:

IS HE HAWT?

I'm making shrimp cocktail and pecan crusted salmon that evening.
