Really?
Virtue signaling…it’s everywhere isn’t it? At first it wasn’t that irritating, because it was easily ignored. The only people doing it were the usual suspects that would go away when their 15 minutes of fame were up. Then Twitter came along and verified how much everybody is stupid—except for you. It drives people to drink. Then the booze merchants had to get in on the act.
I promised myself that when I finally found this I would take it out to the desert and shoot it. Sadly, it was more expensive than I anticipated so I decided I needed to get back at Stone. How can I do it if don’t have a Twitter account?
This is my review of Budweiser Freedom Reserve Lager (limited release).
I figure the best way to stick it to them is to leave it on the shelf and buy something else that doesn’t suit Stone’s standard of “independentness.” Even if Budweisser is technically virtue signaling with this one, at least its one I can get behind. For the astonishing price of $16.99 for a dirty dozen, Budweiser will donate a percentage of the proceeds to Folds of Honor, a Veteran’s charity.
The problem I have with a lot of Veterans charities is how many of them, to put it bluntly: suck. Turns out Veterans like any other seemingly disadvantaged group are used to prey on the compassion of others. In fairness, if somebody wants to donate money, so long as everything is voluntary it is perfectly acceptable for a well meaning individual to do so.
The most well known example of such a charity is the Wounded Warrior Project. To put it politely: they suck ass. Given their celebrity endorsements, merchandising, being schilled by Bill O’Reilly every night for ten years, and their extensive marketing campaign it should be no surprise they have a high overhead. I would find it acceptable if that was the only questionable thing they were spending their donations on. TW: NY Times. Except it wasn’t; they were actually paying their executives $½ million salaries and hosting events at five star hotels. It got to the point where Charity Navigator gave them a D rating after they spent 40% of their revenue on overhead. They got better, but for many it’s too little too late. Then there are other scheisters who will use their well-known name to enrich themselves.
Brand new spinter vans cost money, yo.
They’re not the only ones, even DAV got a poor rating. This one is my personal favorite, run by a VA employee.
One I do like is Pat Tillman Foundation. I’ve participated in one of their events called Pat’s Run, where Arizona State hosts a 4.2 mile long run around Tempe Town Lake and ending at Sun Devil Stadium. Why the odd distance? He was number 42 at Arizona State. Its a scholarship fund.
Folds of Honor seems legitimate enough to me, they too are a scholarship fund.
About this beer: if you are leaving it on the shelf because you think it’s going to suck—it might surprise you. It’s a malty red lager based on a recipe recovered at Mount Vernon. Obviously, it’s different due to Washington predating lagers. My only complaint is it could use a bit more body but to be completely honest, this one doesn’t suck. Budweiser Freedom Reserve Lager (limited release): 3/5
Can I get a link to that dank chair force title meme, hombre? Asking for a friend.
As a recipient of the Air Force Breathing Award, I am deeply offended by that meme.
Acquisitions officer for six years, here. Resigned my commission and enlisted in the Army. I was that fed up with it.
I suppose thats one way to go….

I got a 404 message.
I don’t know why tags never work on my iPad.
Looks like the Edit Faerie fixed it, anyway.
My wife did acquisition BTW. Still does, just not for the Air Force.
Isn’t that true of all wives?
Mine just came home from a garage sale (her Kryptonite). We have more, uh, “acquisitions.”
**HEAVY SIGH**
Acquisitions, ugh. I was a munitions maintenance officer and worked with B52s so at least is was combat related. I realized in college that I was not going to be doing real engineering in the AF so I went for maintenance.
Ah, the Air Force. It’s almost like being in the military.
Best is being in another branch but working on an AF run facility.
/remembers Al Jaber
I was one of two army officers (my boss was the other one) at Torrejon AF Base, near Madrid. We wore civilian clothes to blend in better. 2 navy guys, 2 AF and 4 army and a couple civilians. 50 years ago and counting. My friends and neighbors were surprised when we all showed up on New Year’s Day in uniform for the base commander’s reception.

Its been a long time since Ive had Yuengling.
It’s just that every time I see an American made darker colored lager, that’s immediately what I think of. I haven’t drank it in a long time either, not sad about that.
Who are the racist sexists again…?
I can’t help to think that they should be very grateful that they have the leisure to sit around and make this shit up and also for the fact that they have the free speech to allow them to blabber about it on the internet. At the same time, I’m sure they’ve never a a similar thought themselves.

I’d be curious to know the origins of the “Impeach” label. Stone doesn’t strike me as part of the sjw/leftist signalling crowd. Anti-authoritarian, yes. But considering where they are hq’d (Escondido North County San Diego), and based on my casual demographic survey of the clientele at their flagship brewery/restaurant/offices it would be a bad business idea for Stone to #resist or #dumpTrump.

https://vinepair.com/booze-news/stone-brewing-goes-after-trump-with-im-peach-beer/
Still not sure Stone is “trolling Trump”. Just saying. Subtle satire flies whoosh over the heads of the BSJ and Vinepair editors? Because nothing in Stone’s self-description of I’m Peach really seemed a jab at the President. Intentionally ambiguous? Yeah. I think the message is “here’s a peach beer drink alot of it”.
Thats fair
I looked at it as another Crazy idea, a Bad one at that……
it didn’t occur to me til messy pointed it out
If I was in marketing I would shoot the idea of Imopeach 45 to Pabst to tweak their Colt 45 recipe with peaches and plaster Maxine Waters mug on the label. It would be a hit with both sides. One because they agree with Auntie, the other because her lack of any grasp of grammar is hilarious and she is batshit crazy.
I don’t know. When I find my way down to the local taphouse, I can imagine this being quite popular with the hipster douchebags sitting around shitting their pants over the last thing Trump tweeted. I think those are their target audience.

If I ever make some beer, the first one will be named ‘Salty Prog Tear Beer’.

I like red lagers and red ales for that matter. I’ve given to DAV on multiple occasions. They at least used to have low admin cost.
Given what they do, I take their rating with a grain of salt.
For those who would like to know of a worthy Vetran’s charity look into Camp Hope in Houston.
They specialize in vets with PTSD and suicide prevention.
I know someone who is heavily time invested and I know it’s on the up and up.
Their reviews from saving vets from the brink of suicide are impressive.
Thanks for the insight.
Near where I grow up a local brewery makes a “re-discovered” recipe from 1803 for the local living museum:
https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/761/75777/
They have it on tap at the museum. I think it’s delicious though it makes me sad that the beer they make in the actual old museum brewery (huge wooden barrels and wooden cooling tanks) as a living display is actually discarded. Any guesses why?
Health regs or alcohol commission regs?
Both!!!
About 400 gallons of delicious old-timey alcohol poured down the drain for our safety.
Woodchipper needed.
That’s obscene
http://www.troyhayner.org/distillery-museum.html
This old historic house near me used to be a distillery, and they have lots of original (and unopened) cases and individual bottles of whiskey.
DO WANT.
Damn. I wonder how old those bottles on the shelf are? I want some too.
Why have I never heard of that?
/grew up in W. Montgomery County
Dunno… It’s a pretty cool place, though. They had some kind of folk/bluegrass music festival last year, and there were pie vendors inside and food trucks in the parking lot.
It’s amazing to walk around that house. I’m a total 1890s-1930s history dork – especially when it comes to buildings – and I could spend all damn day just wandering around in there looking at and touching the walls, pillars, furniture, and everything else.
Oh…I have an ex-GF who is pals with people that go ga-ga over the Strawberry Fest, and the oktoberfest in Minster. Now I remember why I avoid Miami County and parts north…..
However, I have done the obligatory trips to Piqua for the canal stuff. Not to mention the Lowell Thomas house in Greenville, which is actually more about Annie Oakley and the indian treaty. If you’re really bored some day, go down to Brookville and visit the ‘Samuel Spitler House’. http://brookville.dcoweb.org/house.htm
Maybe I’ll have to check out that Spitler place sometime…
I think the Strawberry Festival is pretty cool. The main attraction for me is the food vendors. When I was a little kid, there was some guy who would sell wooden rubberband guns, and my friends and I would buy them and then run all over the festival shooting each other and occasionally other people.
Now, my favorite event in Troy is the Festival of Nations in August. They have people from all over the world selling their native foods and exhibiting arts, crafts, and music. Had some cabbage rolls from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Greek gyros, and some Filipino eggroll-like dish.
Finding solid gyros in SW Ohio can be daunting. I generally go to a greek place on Airway Rd, near WPAFB. Or if Im coming back from Cincinnati, a place in between Middletown and Monroe on Old 25 (aka Dixie Highway).
The eggroll-like dish is, I believe, lumpia. I had an army buddy that was filipino, and his girlfriend would make them all the time. She was also big on taking a whole, intact, fish, and throwing it on my oven on just a bed of rice. Once it was done, everyone just picked the thing apart, scooped up rice, and there ya have it. I called it ‘Holy Mackerel’.
There’s a place called Gyro Palace down in Miamisburg where my friends and I always stop whenever we make pilgrimages to Jungle Jim’s International Market. It’s pseudo-Americanized Greek food (kind of like “Chinese” food around here) but damnit, it tastes good.
Gyro Chef on High Street, upstairs above Mean Mr Mustards in Columbus used to make a fucking good gyro. At least 18 year old drunk me thought it was the best gyro ever. But I was drunk. I think there’s a Banana Republic there now.
inding solid gyros in SW Ohio can be daunting. I generally go to a greek place on Airway Rd, near WPAFB.
Is that the Greek Isle deli? It’s either that place or another one that has kickass gyros. Can’t remember which.
Thats the one. The was another around the corner, in that shopping center on Harshman- the ‘Gyro Palace’ (conveniently located near AutoZone)

Sorry, fruit in beer=fail. Not that I’m intolerant, or anything.
They probably put pineapple on their pizza too.
Belgian Monks miight argue with that, as do I
/Lambics
Yeah, I like Trappist beers which often contain fruit.
Not a fan of Lambics. They have fruit in them.
Some fruity beer is ok, but I can only drink one of those, then it’s back to beer with no fruitiness.
If I want fruity alcohol, liquor and fruit juice is the way to go. I d ok not like fruit in beer. It’s not right.
There’s one Belgian ale that has a a little fruity taste, I can’t remember the name, it comes in blue cans with gold or yellow print. Those are pretty good, but like I said, I can only drink one and then it’s just too much, back to normal beer with no fruit.
Yeah I’ll drink a little of the lambic and use the rest for cooking.
that would be incorrect.
I have half a dozen of these.

If I wanted to donate to veterans, the most efficient way would be to go to the local VFW club and buy a round of drinks. No middle man necessary.
I think the amount of freebies we get is pretty generous. In some cases, it is arguably excessive. I have gotten a lot of use out of my lifetime free entry to all national parks pass.

In all seriousness, if I found out tomorrow I’d have to take a 20% pay cut to keep the country from going bankrupt, I wouldn’t get bent out of shape. What good is the military if the country is broke?
I dont much begrudge veterans. Or welfare recipients or crony businesses for that matter. The fact that there is a system in place that rewards people means that people are going to accept those rewards.
Something about incentives and them mattering.
A person who loafs on welfare or some make work job is not breaking the law. It might be a stupid waste of money, but like you said, they’re just rationally responding to incentives.
It’s very hard to be true to all of your principles all the time. Everyone has to make compromises.
As I like to say, the way most people feel about the speed limit is the way I feel about everything.
I just hate the idea that working for the state somehow makes people a class of citizens above us, and increasingly is seen as a both necessary and sufficient to be a “hero”: look at how often “veteran” and “hero” are conflated.
It’s a lot of why I have the same issues with the term “first responders”.
The “hero” stuff is basically a fringe benefit for people who are generally working a crummy job that most people don’t want to do or can’t do. It also needs to be glamorous in some way.
Loggers and garbage collectors don’t get the hero treatment because it’s not glamorous.
My dad had 18 months stolen out of his life courtesy of the peacetime draft, and spent those months at White Sands Missile Range preventing the Ernst Blofelds of the world from getting their hands on those missiles.

(There’s also my late uncle Carlton who was forced to serve in Korea during that little war….)
I am 100% against the draft. At least in regular slavery, you are not put in kill-or-be-killed situations.
The whole point of this country is freedom. Freedom means being able to do what you want.
This country began because a bunch of guys wrote a nastygram to some jackass which basically said “screw you guys, I’m going home.”

Lawn mower parts unexpectedly got delivered on a Saturday by USPS, so put the mower back together and spent the last 3hrs doing yardwork. Now time to rest before I have to cook dinner. Beer tonight is highly anticipated.
I have been working on my mower just about every time I use it this year. I just completely rebuilt the deck a few weeks ago. I’m getting sick of working on it. In hindsight, I would have bought a commercial grade.
Second time I used it this year, had to work on it both times as well.
I have a push-reel mower and I love it. It has some drawbacks, but overall, I like the simplicity. Any problem with that thing is going to be purely mechanical and very simple to fix.
… But I understand that some people have larger yards than me, and using the push-reel might get old after an acre or so.
It would be extremely labor intensive for me to push reel the 2 1/2 acres I mow every week.
After spending a shitload of money to keep my big box Husqvarna running, I left it sitting dead in the middle of the yard, drove straight to the John Deere dealership and bought an X350. Best decision I’ve made.
I’m almost there. And a big box husqvarna is exactly what I’m getting fed up with. I’ll probably keep it through this year. I’m looking at an ex mark brand mower. There is a dealer around here that has pretty good prices. I’m also looking at grasshopper. My uncle has one that he has mowed extensively with for 15 years without much trouble.
Just for mowing, get the grasshopper. My neighbors son was mowing my 10 acres with one and that thing was amaze balls fast.
I had an X450. Not too bad for mowing, but I was mowing 10 acres and it wasn’t really up to the task. I started paying my neighbors son to mow it with their zero turn grasshopper.
Yeah, I’m only doing 3/4 of an acre with the X350. 10 acres would definitely require commercial grade equipment.
Yep, you’re good to go. A 350 is almost overkill for 3/4 acres.
Where it really shows it’s worth is with the fall leaves. I have a number of 40’ tall deciduous trees. The leaves can get a foot deep.
If you aren’t drinking beer while doing yard work, you are doing it wrong. Just saying.
And that’s why I mow in the afternoon. No more than two, though. The third beer makes it difficult to keep the lines straight.
And the streets ran red with blood. wait what? they didn’t? but we are told background checks prevent shootings.
I don’t think that’s the best place to use a comma.
Where the hell did all these infringements on our rights come from? I don’t think some people know what ‘shall not be infringed’ means. Aren’t these bill of rights supposed to be unalienable rights?

Sorry about the bad picture, not sure what is up with that.
Just popped one. Here’s my short review.
It tastes like beer made out of rope. Seriously, I wish I was joking, but I’m not. Avoid.
I should have reloaded before cracking my joke. (I arrived late and was going through the comments.)
Tastes like Rope?
Yes. Exactly that. I have no damn idea what they were thinking.
I drank a hemp beer 20 years ago at the Kleine Scheidegg. I don’t don’t recall how it tasted but I stole the bottle because I was 20 something and “Pot Beer!”
I’m a fan of honorbrewing.com – they’ve got some nice brews at very respectable prices. Also seems to be a few styled that way in the South – esp near bases.
Service Brewing has a similar shtick:
Ground Pounder pale ale
Gun Bunny witbier
Battlewagon double IPA

Always enjoy your reviews, MS.
Currently sitting in the back yard enjoying the beautiful weather, and a Beau’s Lugtread Lagered Ale. Tasty stuff.
Nice bottle.
Yeah! They all used to come like that, but I think it was a cost issue. They now come in 600 mL glass bottles, but the ceramics make occasional limited edition appearances.
I’m sort of surprised that Grolsch still sells beer in those heavy flip top style bottles. Of course you can buy them in a 6 pack of regular beer bottles instead of the 4 pack flip tops. But when I buy Grolsch, I always get the flip tops, I really like those bottles.

I pulled the 914 inside, fully expecting to pull off all the brake calipers, because the brakes were hanging (wouldn’t release). As soon as I cracked a bleeder to drain the fluid, the rotors were free. Hmm, sez I, maybe it’s the master cylinder, which is a giant pain in the ass to get out/in. Goody. I decided to give the brake pedal a push, and it went part way down and stayed there. Totally not what’s supposed to happen. The pedal assembly was hanging up from lack of use. A few shots of break free and some manual encouragement, and hey, presto! working brakes.
Some days you get lucky. Now I get to fabricate a new trunk latch.
The Hemperor
Beer made with hemp and hops.
I think that’s the stuff I thought smelled like moldy hay. I didn’t taste it.
Good for you. It tastes like rope. I was thinking they must have used the leaves. But apparently, they threw in some hemp fiber. Fermented rope = not good!

3 tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 jalapeno, 5 gloves garlic, juice of 2 limes, and a half bunch of cilantro. Mince everything, salt heavily, and let the flavors blend in the fridge for 2 hours.
We buy Wal-Mart’s pico. Decent and low effort.
No Wal-Marts here. The “activists” don’t like them.
Add some olive oil.
I love this picture. Trump might actually get me to vote for him.

“Trump told reporters Saturday when asked about what might happen if those countries did not agree. “We’re like the piggy bank that everybody is robbing. And that ends.”
This has been the case since the end of WWII. The Europeans are like spoiled 20 yo’s living on mom and dad’s dime who are being told they have to get out of the nest and pay their own way. This is why we elected Trump and why he will win re-election.
