The last bottle in the fridge

MatthewB · June 25, 2003

Given the hot weather, I thought this might be an interesting thread.

What was the last beer in your fridge & when did you drink it?

Corona Light leftover from last summer. (Who the hell brought that over? :wacko: ) 24 June @ 10:30 PM.

Tasting note: I hope never to drink one of these again.

PBR. I drank it last night at 8:30 before I collapsed into a stuporous heat-and-finals-week-induced sleep.

It was hiding behind the milk.

But it was in a can. So I don't know if it counts.

EDIT to say: dude, you keep beers around for a whole year?

Nope. But it was so hot last night that I really wanted a beer & I didn't feel like running out. So I dug around & *that* showed up. :blink:

(I don't drink beer in winter either, so that was a factor.)

So, I'll pick up some Red Stripe later today. :biggrin:

Usually, it is Sam Adams light. It is always hiding behind the block of Parmagiano.

But, for me it is 3 bottles of half consumed white wine, varying in quality. You know, open a crappy bottle for cooking ($6) and open a good bottle for drinking. Lose interest in both, until I am rooting around looking for something cool and alcoholic.

Right now, we have a few bottles of Hacker Pschoor and Bohemian left over from teh weekend. I give them another day.

just last week, i ran out of beer. *shutter*

i had 2 bottles of home brew in the back for the last 5 years or so. i'd been saving them for some sort of special occasion, although one never came. since my friend was over, and he likes beer, i figured i'd crack them open. both were belgian style white beers, from 2 different batches. the first one was spot on. it held up all those years. the second one was a bit nasty however.

it was fun finally opening them. now there's a little more room in the fridge.

PBR.

They don't give it the blue ribbon for nothin'.

I rooted around behind the lemonade and found three Beer Ghosts of Parties Past:

1)Cugino

2)Stella Artois

3) Pilsner Urquell...this last being, IMHO, the only really good one on the list. But they'll all get drunk eventually.

The concept of not knowing exactly how many ounces of which sorts of alcohol are in my home at any given moment is completely foreign to me.

Without looking, i know there's one bottle of a local microbrew and five bottles of some off-brand red lager in the fridge. I also know there's no whisky of any brand whatsoever, and no amount of anything else save a half-plastic-airline-serving bottle of Cuervo leftover from a Christmas stocking.

A six pack of Pilsner Urquell, 3 of which were consumed at the China 46 dinner, the other 3 were drank at the Liberty Bell BBQ contest in Philly last weekend.

I have had a 40oz of Old English 800 sitting in my fridge since I moved in last year. It was leftover from my housewarming party.

Last year, someone actually brought over a six pack of Shaefer in cans. I am making sure inventory is always high enough that I'll NEVER have to dig in to the Shaefer.

MichStFoodNerd · June 25, 2003

Two 8 oz bottles of Little King Cream Ale. Great for summer drinking because by the time they get warm, you are done with the bottle. About five good gulps per bottle. A midwest tradition.

I've got my favourite Alaskan Amber, one remaining bottle, in the far corner of the fridge from my last trip to the Sitka homestead. Not sure why I'm saving it but I just can't bring myself to drink it!

Labatt's Blue was left over from a recent afterhours party on my patio, I drank it with gusto last night at 9:45 p.m. It was really cold. It tasted sooooo good! :smile:

Hey this happened to us just last week, too. And it never does.

Stripping paint from kitchen cabinet doors, outdoors. Unexpectedly effingly hot. Afternoon wore on, surprise extra paint layers imprisoned beneath varnish apparently made to withstand nuclear annihilation revealed selves. Nearly brought the most noxious paint stripper available to its knees.

And us, too. Hot. Hot! Disgruntled. Slight fume-induced disorientation.

Thirsty.

Pretty sure we were out of beer, guests drank it the night before.

Thought I'd look anyways.

No!

I mean, yes! Two lovely bottles of very cold Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. So we split the one, and then split the other. Aaah. Never EVER tasted so good.

Next time, it's straight to dip-n-strip.

. . . a stuporous heat-and-finals-week-induced sleep.

Nero, you were in heat again?????

I had a Saranac Hefeweizen.

The last beer lurking in the fridge is a bottle of Shiner Blonde. I'm sure my husband will polish it off tonight after he mows the lawn.

John W. · June 25, 2003

Isn't it funny the best beer is not always the best beer?

The last beer in my fridge was a Miller High Life. The Champagne of bottled beer. After work, it was the best.

mogsob · June 25, 2003

Wow -- you guys (most of you, at any rate) and/or your friends really drink crap beer. Anyone who brings me a "gift" of American lager gets thrown out -- ass first.

In my fridge right now there are 2 bottles of Young's chocolate stout and 3 bottles of Abbot Ale. Good reason as any to leave work right now!

Keep it coming, folks.

My intent with this thread was to start a summer-long thread that focuses on the situation/experience of digging around to find & drink that *last* beer in the fridge.

But if you want to use this thread to brag about your beer stock, feel free. (Just be prepared for numerous & various Uma interventions. :biggrin: )

You've got Uma in your refrigerator?

Naw.

But the window unit air conditioner went in the bedroom last night.

The bedroom is now at 64 degrees. :biggrin:

Nippy.

64 in the bedroom in this weather gives new meaning to the phrase "under the covers."
