Just watching the bubbles in my beer.  The Texas Playboys, Willie Nelson

There's a tear in my beer cause I'm crying for you,dear
You are on my lonely mind
Into these last few beers, I have shed a million tears
You are on my lonely mind
I'm gonna keep drinking until I'm petrified
And then maybe these tears will leave my eyes
There's a tear in my beer cause I'm crying for you dear
You are on my lonely mind
Hank Williams

Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills music
When I hear Faded Love I feel at home
Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills music
Have kept my heart alive since you've been gone
C.W. McCall

It's lonely here at night without the bright lights
There ain't no playoff series that we're near
The glory that was ours has gone to Philly
There's nothing left but crying in our beer
New York Mets

Is this the beer with the cap that says 'Made in Alaska'?  I've had those, and kept the cap 'cause I was made in Alaska.

not to much of  a beer person and my tastes are far from gourmet, but the shiners has been taking the edge off and i am picking up my remote less and less to see if the astros game is on

[ybbodeus]

Anyone spotted it at Spec's, yet?  Just because they don't ship to Texas, it doesn't mean those witches wouldn't have it.....necessarily.

[David in Jackson]

The Astros season must be over if the beer thread starts before lunch on Wednesday.

[Bench]

One of the great beers ever.

Beer lyrics:

"And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert." - Sunday Morning Coming Down.

[Waldo]

"In heaven there is no beer/That's why we drink it here."

"And when we're gone from here/All our friends will be drinking all our beer"

One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer - John Lee Hooker
40 0z. to Freedom - Sublime

[astrofan]

always one of my favorites:

I saw Big Bear Henry and Two Turtle Jim
Drivin' into town and they were ridin' on their rims
Sold their tires to buy themselves a couple of cases of beer
They got there a little too late
So they broke down the door and shot up the place
Now everybody's gone crazy around here...

"Little Buffalo" by Fred Eaglesmith

I have not seen it anywhere but in Alaska and California, but I don't know where they ship it.  I'm in Alaska now, and plan to drink as much as possible before I leave.

Bier her, Bier her
Oder ich fall 'rum.  Hierher!
Bier her, Bier her
Oder ich fall 'rum.

Soll das Bier im Keller liegen
Und wir hier das 'Noch mal' kriegen?
Bier her, Bier her
Oder ich fall 'rum.

On the first day of Christmas
My true lover gave to me
A beer......
....in a tree!

Hideous 1664 story; Air France gives it away for free and will serve you all you want if you attempt to speek frog to the flight staff.  Last leg into Riyadh two weeks ago, I think to myself, "self, time to drink up, we're 1.5 hours out and it's Ramadan where I'm going...".  Just then, announcement comes overhead, "We've just entered KSA airspace, please hand all unfinished alcohol to your flight staff as they walk by".  Looooong week in the Kingdom.

I have a buddy who took a 3-year contract out there, and said he was more drunk more often there than at any other time in his life.  He lived on a compound where the authorities operate a don't ask, don't tell policy.  The houses were all built with a "boiler room" on an outside wall so that when the stills blew up (as they often did) the explosion went outwards from the house.  They would get trashed on moonshine all the time.  Some enterprising folks even made beer by taking non-alcoholic beer that is perfectly legal, then putting it a big tub with sugar and yeast.

He re-upped for another 3 years at the end.  Partly because he enjoyed the work and partly because the tax free money had helped him pay off his debts, pay off his whore of an ex-wife and pay someone to finish building his kit car that he'd struggled with for years (and which he blew up by over-revving it first time out of the garage).

ETA:  Isn't all beer free on international flights (Continental is the exception, not the rule in my experience)?

As of last week it is most definitely NOT free on international American Airlines flights.

Free on Cathay Pacific, but no American carrier that I can think of (except in premium class).

By the way, I was introduced to Królewski last night, and it is really good!  I wonder if Specs will lay some in.

[Limey]

Free on Cathay Pacific, but no American carrier that I can think of (except in premium class).

And they all went from free to ridiculous.  $5 for a can of beer!

FWIW, BA still gives free booze in the cheap seats, and they have 4 classes of seat.

If you're still up there, try the Pale also and let me know what you think. May place an order and might as well mix it up.
