LOL! Love the avatar, dude. The tiara explains why you drink LIGHT beer, I guess.
Last night: Shipyard IPA.
Terrible, terrible beer. Just awful. Barely tasted like an IPA at all. Garbage. Yuck.
Now what am I gonna do w/ the remaining three?

I'm downing 3 Molson XXX Blacks right after I drank a half a bottle of Limoncello. The Molsons, bleh, but they'll add to the buzz created by the Limoncello. That stuff is awesome if you've never tried it.
I'm drinking some Alaskan IPA. It's pretty good. Not nearly as good as the free beer which people owe me.

Free beer's better than no beer...
Want some free natty ice?

True dat! Also, nice to have you back, Maki.
I don't mind Heinekin. Definitely get in the mood for it every few weeks. I've been trying to acquire a taste for High Life, but I just can't do it. It would definitely save some money when picking up beer to hang out with the buddies.
As for the costs, a $10 6er is not something I'm going to sit back with my buddies on a weekend and knock out, but it's not bad if it's something you're gonna have with a few dinners. I think my absolute favorite beer at the moment is Golden Draak from Belgium. Best price I can find around here is $18 for a 4-pack. It's not a weekly buy, but I don't mind spending that for it every now and then. I fill growlers (64 oz) for usually abt $12 each. More cost for fewer ounces than a 6er, but some beers' taste just gets killed when bottled, and you need it from draft to make it enjoyable.
That said, I picked up a 6er of the following tonight for $10:
Back Forty Beer Co. Truck Stop Honey brewed for them by Lazy Magnolia (even had the LM logo on the caps covered by stickers). If you're familiar with Lazy Magnolia, this really reminds me of their Southern Pecan. It's a sweeter smell and taste, but still a strong reminder. While I love Southern Pecan, I don't know that this one is really doing anything for me. The flavor isn't bad, but seems to be missing a certain something. I think I was hoping for more of a honey flavor like an OBP or OBP2.
e'hem. This would be a great sixer to send to me.
This lovely stuff has been found in my fridge - and then in me - on a regualr basis recently. Suddenly, I'm really thirsty...
I'm on the old commercial Newcastle Brown (pronounced 'Broone' in Newcastle) Ale, the old familiar, it does a 'fair' job.
Creemore Springs UrBock. Great colour, flavour, and brewed locally in Creemore, Ontario.
Too bad it's only seasonal.

Nothing wrong with a bottle or six of Dog. Good honest pint that has served me well over the years. My folks live in that part of the world and it's nice to be able to grab it on draught when I go visit.
From wikipedia: "The production launch of Newcastle Brown was said to have been an overnight success, with claims that the day after it went on sale, the Police requested the strength be reduced, because the cells were already full."
