I like a ribeye more than anything else in the world. But I'm not going to turn away a cheesburger or meatloaf because they aren't a steak.

Beer snobs suck and are the worst people to have around at parties.

If preferring quality beer over so called "Lagers" makes me a snob then, I'll proudly claim the title. BTW, nobody's ever complained that I brought my own brews instead of bringing Bud/Miller/Pabst/Stroh's/Coors etc ad nauseum. :)

QFT, and because I'm gonna have to steal your analogy. :beer::D

I'm stealing that as well.

I'm a beer snob and I will say that for a pale American-style lager, Budweiser isn't that bad. Hell, it's probably the best of them. That's just not my favorite style of beer though.

I won't turn it away if it's free. But if I'm going to spend my hard earned dollars for beer, I'm buying the good stuff. I also don't typically buy ribeyes. I usually buy filets.

A filet is meat flavored jello that most places don't know how to cook properly. :p

Porterhouse is where it's at. Ribeye on one side, filet on the other.

pffft... filets are for pseudo steak snobs. Ordering a filet is like saying you don't really like steak but you want to look like you like steak. Ribeye is the true steak lover's cut.

That's ok. Next time we're at a party together, I'll drink all the good beer and you can have the carbonated water with slight trace elements.

I'm not following you. Mustangs and Porsches both offer totally different driving experiences.

The issue is that the best part of the steak flavor is in the marbled fat, and filets are an extremely lean cut, whereas ribeyes are the most marbled.

I bought a two and a half inch thick three pound porterhouse the other day. I seered it and panfried it. It was excellent.

Uhh... a porterhouse (or t-bone) is strip on one side, filet on the other.

I love it when I'm at a party or tailgating and someone brings there own brew. Usually the beer is VERY tasty and they are more than willing to share b/c they sort of like to show off their beer. Also, some brewers I know love to brew beer but can't drink it fast enough and run out of bottles, kegs, or room to store it.....that's where I come in :)

I won't pass up cheap beer though, especially if I'm already 6-8 beers in for the night, I'll switch to something cheaper and lighter.

If you're 6-8 of my beers in for the night you're no longer standing. :)

Well compared to other similar beers, Coors, Miller...ect, it's probably the better of them all but they all taste like water when compared the rich flavor of imported ales from europe.

Oh by the way, does anyone know where I can find some Golden Draught? I've looked everywhere on the net and called a few stores but no one has heard or has any.


Edit: Doh! It's been fixed. nm then.

ale and beers are different.

Ale is a type of beer. Your definition of "beer" seems to be lager, which is the second main category of beers.

Try Vietnamese Heineken. That's about as bad as it gets. Even the 333 export, which had rice in it, wasn't as bad.

Ale and beers used to be mentioned separately....with the invent of 'Stella' and microbrews everything got technical.

I like Guinness Extra Stout sometimes. However, none of the big American beers are terrible really.

Ah damn. You're right. Well at least those strips are fairly marbled, but not as much as a ribeye.
