Whatever.

Am I just bitter?

SXSW Six Pack

Original content for yah. Patrick Beach and friends sample some of the finer things in life. A rundown of their blind taste test:

The SXSW six-pack

• Lone Star: 'Real light, thin finish. Hints of regret and sadness.'

• Busch: 'The head looks like my kid's tub water when they sneak shampoo in to make a bubble bath. Sweet as rock candy from Lammes. Miller Lite?'

• Budweiser: 'Tastes like horrible . Day after = worst gas ever.'

• Pabst Blue Ribbon: 'A little body. But skunky, too. Miller High Life.'

• Miller High Life: 'No distinct flavor ... Tastes like a three-day weekend on the beach in high school.'

• Coors Light: 'Astringent. Would rather drink some really bad promo cocktail… Old Milwaukee?'

Shock and Awe! aka Flying Dog Events at SXSW 2010

Beer Town Austin just put this up as well. I almost said forget it, they put it up first, but you know what, NO. Don't they know copy and posting newsletters is my gig. And I think that is what this falls under. There you go folks. A good 'ole fashion blog war.

And I copied this bit straight from them:

JT from Flying Dog just put this out there.

Looks fun.

I’m looking forward to the Raging Bitch. Supposed to be a Belgian style IPA. I like those.

See you there.
