I got 37 which, I guess, is pretty average. the 0-43 score pretty much describes me.

14.

Holic will be along shortly and beat both our scores, even though there isn't a wrong answer here.

But I'm not sure why not watching crap TV, crap movies and not drinking crap beer means someone is insulated from average white American and American culture.

I was sort of wondering the same thing. Guess you could start going to Applebee's regularly to make up for it.

55. Don't much give a flying crap about today's pop culture. Guess that happens when you are nearing the end of the line.

Actually the higher the score, the more in tune you are with pop culture. That means Left Seater and his 14 score is a total elitist snob. :lol:

Yeah, OK, but what kind of beer do you drink?

Personally, I won't touch the corporate swill because it sucks.
Don't drink craft beer anymore either, though I wish I could.
I've turned into an elitist Coastal California wine snob on doctor's orders - need to watch my carbs.

Part of my high score is due to a poverty stricken childhood, part is prolly because I said I do buy the domestic large maker beer. But, then I consider Sam Adams to be such. It can't really be called a micro by any stretch. Also will buy Yuengling, especially on tap and honey brown. All domestic. I think they were looking for the rice lite swillers, which I am not, unless it is really hot and someone sticks a very cold one in my hand, free of charge. In this case, I sure as hell will drink them.

I love the jingle.

That was the one beer jingle I remembered from early childhood. A little over a decade later, I got to put it to the test. Me and a buddy bought a case of schaefer long necks, I think it was like 5.99/case. What horrific swill. They are right though, the last tastes just as good as the first, as in not very fukking good.

I prefer beer. IIRC, Schaefer is made from wheat, not barley...

ergo (Latin), not "beer."


And Sam, there's a reason you never got into drinking craft beer -- after spending time in your neck of the woods... because every last one of them is god-fucking-awful.

On that note... on my nationwide tour last summer... everything I tasted (which was a boatload, every chance I got) that came from east of the Rockies FUCKING SUCKED. It wasn't "OK, whatever" -- it was fucking awful. Every. Last. One.

And Colorado was so hyped... uhhhhh, no. Garbage beer.

I know I come from the Land That Put Craft Beer On The Map, and I'm Original Gangster Snob... but jeebus -- what the fuck are you people doing? You made that shit, poured a glass, and something inside you said "gee, that's pretty good!"?

WTFF is wrong with you people?

Apparently, if it doesn't come from Oregon or California (with a small handful of OK shit in Washington), it's going to taste like dirty butthole.

And save your "b-b-b-b-b-but you haven't had XXXXXXX from XXXXXXX".... trust me, it sucks, as does your palate.

All I will say is that I've had a shit ton of beers brewed in the Midwest that were better than anything I've ever tasted from Deschutes. I'm sure you have some other U&L beers you're very proud of, but save your "b-b-b-b-b-but you haven't had XXXXXXX from XXXXXXX"....

'Craft beer' is code for hops and apparently there's a disasterous shortage of said hops and the price of 'craft beer' will go through the roof.
Hopefully, whatever your horrible state inspired and inflicted on the continent in music and beer will come crashing down and disappear forever.
It's like bragging Drake came from your hometown.

The Schaefer commercial posted was filmed in Toronto last week.

Couple things, Fibber:

First, whether you like hoppy beers or not, and whether or not you like indiepop garbage, and sure, the politics have shifted from the old school redneck of my youth into liberal idiocy...

My state isn't "horrible" -- it's still the best one.

And the "shortage" of hops stems from all these ridiculous pretenders from the Lesser Regions buying them up. All the hop farms I occasionally drive past seem to be doing just fine.
