Beer that best suits your mood for tonight's game?

[Spaulding]

I'd have to vote for Founder's "Dirty Bastard." A dark (meets my mood) Scottish (anybody for a fight) ale that hits the spot.

A close second - Skullsplitter Orkney Scotch Ale.

[Tony Oday]

I vote for A LOT OF BEER! I am watchign with 8 Viking fans...if we don't win...ugh

[denverYooper]

Jagermeister.

[Waldo]

Oktoberfest.

Preferably a German, not a American variety (probably Paulaner or Becks)

About to go hit up the liquor store. We'll see.

[mission]

Im drinking cheap because I will need a lot of it ... not sure what. Going to a small local sports bar so Im not involved in any riots at TJs (Packers bar) ... don't want to be at home because I might need some wind down time.

I'm preparing for the worst for some reason, but I think we just might pull this one out.

[mraynrand]

Crazy Horse, the politically incorrect Malt Liquor!

[mraynrand]

Or, when in the mini apple, you should drink the local swill: Grain Belt - "Still under two dollars a case!"

[mraynrand]

Go to Sportsman's to drink your Grain Belt. Tell 'em Mraynrand sent you. This is the shithole I used to go to in my college days. The Vikings fans were total assholes, but there was nothing I could do about it. Randy Wright was fainting in the goddam huddle for chrissakes. But at least you can get drunk for about $1.50.

How about one for if we win: New Glarus Begian Red

and one for if we lose: Blaaaaaatz.

Is that a large arched window or just a big fucking hole on the 2nd story?

Mission, I thought about hitting TJs too but it just gets too late with the hour drive home and such. And I'm not sure that I trust myself to not throw a Shih-tzu at the TV (which could results in divorce papers being served) if I'm watching alone. Not sure what I am going to do.

I wish I could watch it with the TMJ announcers so I don't have to listen to the Favre gushers on FavreSPN.

As for the beer of my choice tonight...local microbrewery beer. Sweetwater 420. I would opt for Spotted Cow but since its not available outside of Wisconsin... :cry:

Love Founders Dirty Bastard. I lived about a mile from the brewery. Every now and then some of our local beer bars would get a cask of it. Nothing better than dirty bastard or other small batch from a cask.

Contrarily, I am going with a couple bottles of High Life to support my Wisconsin team.

I've driven by this place several times but never gone in. Was it a decent shithole, or just a shithole? Nothing wrong with a good dive bar...

Mraynrand, you may remember Mannings just done the road. It's still there, and still a solid place for a pregame meal, I've gone there a half dozen or so times. Doesn't look like they've changed anything in there since the 50's 'cept the prices. I'll bet Mr. Crusty would be a fan of the place.

[HowardRoark]

I have a ticket for the game tonight, but came down with some strange virus (I hope) over the weekend. They have been tapping me for blood all day, so I figured I would be better off on my couch in the basement than spreading my germs around the Mall of America Field at Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome*.

I bought some of this stuff over the weekend, so if they win, I may have to celebrate with one (sickness be damned).....

Nyquil with a chaser of Capitol Ale got me through many a sickness. If that didn't work, I used Hibernol.

It's been so long, I can't remember. Possibly because I was both drunk and disgusted with the horrible Packer losses - followed by 3 word Forrest Gregg post game comments: "You saw it."

P.S. Crusty can eat where ever he wants. I hope he chokes on his spicy food. That guy is a total asshole.

I used to live 3 blocks from where that picture was taken. On 24th (I believe, been almost 15 years). Turn off Como, hit the first left (that angled road), up two blocks, and on the right.

There is a bar across the street, directly to the left when looking at that picture, correct (I liked their food better)?

I got Paulaner. I like Paulaner better than Spaten. Both are legit Munich Oktoberfests. Really Weihenstephaner is the oldie of the Munich bunch. I got some of their Festbeer and SA's Oktoberfest in the fridge already.

That might be the place Superfan was talking about. I just can't remember. I just remember this bar with the crotchety old men who shoveled shit at Packer fans (me) and talked up the Twinkies and Vikes. Good, obnoxious homers. I rubbed it in when the Vikes came up empty on that last drive in the NFCC against the Redskins.

You hit up TJ's too? Damn, lots of us go there.

I'm hanging at the homestead this week to maximize the inebriation factor.

Have fun if you go, see you there in 2 weeks.

BF004 from FF is going (he and his wife were the two in the booth behind our booth last week).

Ever try their Dopplebock? It is absolutely potent. Had some at their brewery tour. Man was I glad someone else was driving. It is like 4x Guinness. I've got a bottle with my name on it for tonight if the game goes really sour.
