It’s approaching quite quickly. My first Jets game of the season is around the corner. September 11, 2011, New York Jets against the Dallas Cowboys. I am so excited to get back into the football groove.What do I do for tailgating you ask? We bring A LOT of food and beer. That’s basically all you need. Oh and a few chairs so your not sitting on the ground.
But your a girl you might be saying to yourself. Ladies don’t drink beer. Well, lets get something straight. I’m not a lady, especially at football games. And, I drink a lot of beer.Our friends over at Busted Coverage has made a list of the best tailgating beers made. You know I’ll be packing my car with some of these.
Pabst – Nothing says I’m ready to get ripped up better than a can of PBR. It’s a classic beer for those in the know. The only problem with tailgating with Pabst is you’ll probably have to switch to some lesser beer inside the stadium. Not many places carry it.
Coors Light – Sure, it’s mostly water and pretty much tastes like it, but Coors is perfect if you’re really looking to pound some down. You’re not likely to wake up with a raging hangover because it’s so watery. And if you’re a complete idiot and can’t tell the difference between a cold beer and a warm one, there’s that stupid blue mountain thing on the can.
Milwaukee’s Best – The name is a total misnomer. Milwaukee’s Best isn’t good. It’s what we served at house parties in college because it was so cheap and that’s why it’s on the list. If you’re thrifty, this is the way to go. You can probably get a half barrel for around $50. After three or four, you won’t even notice how bad it tastes and when you get inside the stadium and order a Bud Light it will taste like top-shelf Cognac.
Guinness – It’s not for everyone, but if you favor something heartier then Guinness is the way to go. It’s thick and robust and goes great with grilled meat. It also goes great by itself. Guinness will fill you up and most stadiums carry it.
In my opinion, the Milwaukee’s Best and Coors Light is for the beer pong & flip cup. I’m not a fan of Pabst but it’s really cheap. Enjoy the upcoming football season everyone!
