The last bottle in the fridge

[MatthewB]

Okay, I think the sobs (errr, I mean snobs) are gone.

Carry on with the beer discussion, please.

It wasn't in my fridge, but my neighbor just gave me his last can of Old Style, with the Wrigley Field scoreboard on the back. He just left for more beer .

That post is a good example of what I have in mind for this thread.

Carry on.

I decided to have a look in the fridge we have here at the office:

3 Budweisers with "born on" dates from 2002 and 2 Doc Otis bottles (the local Bud distributer is a client).

And one very lonely Fat Tire.

yikes.

[Poots]

it's summer, how dare you run out of beer! i almost always have at least a 6 in the fridge. The last beer i drank out of the fridge was a Rare Vos. the last cleaning out the fridge beer i found was an old Steel reserve? that's been there i have not idea how long, cause i sure as hell didn't buy it....drank it though.....what's that wine speak word....cat urine(and not in a good way)

I'm still shuddering at the fact I found a couple cans of Old Milwaukee in my fridge last week, left over from a poker night 5 months ago. Even sadder is the fact I drank them because it was so bloody hot outside. I rescued my tastebuds the next night with some Cameron's Auburn Ale and Kawartha Lakes Brewery Raspberry Wheat (both Ontario microbrews -- any other canucks here?). Yum!

Matt, I left some beers in your fridge. Let's get the party started.

That would be so fun!

I would kill for a Fat Tire. Can't get it in Michigan. Went to Missouri last week and got my fill. I heard a rumor that New Belgium will not ship thier beer more than 3 states away. Anyone know?

[suzilightning]

since we bought the downstaris bar a refrigerator we are NEVER out of beer. that said there are a half dozen coronas, two tetley's and two boddington's in the can with the widget, one pacifico, and a bottle each of a riesling and tott's.

[NeroW]

But they'll all get drunk eventually.

Who's "they?"

And where?

[Rich Pawlak]

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?

I hope there is never a chance for me to have a "last beer" in my fridge. I have a dedicated beer fridge (DBR), and it's stuffed with over 200 bottles; I cant drink them even remotely as quickly as I acquire them.

Last beer I took from that fridge was tonight and it was a Stone IPA, from Stone Brewing co. just north of San Diego. A damn fine IPA.

[pnapoli]

i'll tell you what the last beer in my bar fridge is. it's home brew in a grolsch bottle. an acquaintance gifted it to me. i'm afraid of the beer. but i like the bottle quite a bit.

[Noot]

Redhook Sun-Rye... Rye beer is like wheat beer without that clove-y taste, ya know.

Holy shit! That's awesome.

If you invited me over, we could clear that bad boy out in a few hours.

[ctgm]

Maybe you should go round my parents house and drink some of their beer which has a best before date ranging from sometime between 1995 and 2000.

We get it in Washington. Are we really that much closer than MI? Does WI and IL get it?

Speaking of New Belgian, they have a new summer brew that is like a Belgian Wit. Very nice drinking. Its called Porch Swing or something such.

me? hmm last beer drank: A Deschutes Quail Springs IPA. Drank Sunday night after a long trail ride. yippee-ti-yi-yea! BUT there's one more beer left in my fridge.. ashamedly, I don't recall what it is. But I'd lay money down that it very well could be a Bridgeport IPA. (yes I'm a hophead).

I found a Fat Tire hiding in the fridge at my aunt's house in Michigan last week. I'll bet they brought it in from Montana.

I left a Bell's Oberon in its place and then I drank the Fat Tire.

I felt guilty.

Then, a couple days later, I noticed there were several cases of Fat Tire in their basement. Gone was the guilt, and I drank the Oberon.

the 2 beers currently in my fridge awaiting my anxious lips and just the right moment: a Lost Coast Indica IPA, and a New Belgium Trippel.

[maomonk]

Lost Coast Indica...hmm, sounds hoppy. Anyway, mine was a Red Seal Ale 2 nights ago.

Really good question

1 lonely Tsingtao

and

(this one's really bad -- it's not even a beer, exactly)

The flavored malt beverage with the fingerprint on it. Guy in liquor store strong-armed me into it. Said it was made with "alcoholic fruit." I did drink the rest of them, but I haven't been that desperate since -- compulsively keep the fridge stocked.

The level of fluid in the bottle has decreased significantly since I put it there in June.

[MHesse]

Coinkydink.

I have a lonely Tsingtao also. It's very hot today so it will disappear when I return from my next venture out, even if it's just to get the mail downstairs.

I live near the Pioneer supermarket in Columbus, so I buy singles of whatever piques my interest at the time.

It wasn't beer -- it was Smirnoff Ice, bought when my fiance's 20-year-old cousin came to NYC for a visit.

And it's still there.

I think it is a Mississippi River thing. I heard that anyway when I tried to order it for the store (wrong side of the river apparently in IL). The clown that lives upstairs from the shop supposedly will pay big bucks for it (so he says). Wheaty things make me sneeze so there is always a mess of beer in my fridge. But the other day I tasted something that made me happy, Old Suffolk Vintage Ale. I did not spit and then I sneezed four times. But it was worth it.

[NeroW]

There are 5 cans of Old Style in my refrigerator, right now, awaiting Fritz Brenner's arrival tomorrow night.
