Summer. Depending on your take on things the word makes you cringe or fills you with a giddy sensation that traces straight back to kindergarten. Either way you know summer means one thing- heat. It's deep into August now and the heat is starting to wear on people- murder rates and temperatures both soar in the summer. August heat is the worst it's muggy and opressive. People used to believe this hot muggy bad air caused disease malaria specifically it actually means 'bad air." So in 1842 when a doctor in Apalachicola, Florida invented an ice making machine to keep patients in his hospital cool. Of course this also helped along the related field of refidgeration. Refridgeration which would heavily influence the American Brewing industry. Giving rise to the American Lager the first beer truly meant to be consumed ice cold. So go to the liquor store walk over to that wall lined with those marvellous glass doored miracles and find yourself a case of cold ones.

This weeks drink- American Lager

Mine's Natty Ice.

I'll see your Natty Ice and raise you a six pack of Milwaukee's Best and a case of High Life. On an oppressively hot day, a cheap American Lager really does hit the spot.

bless you Brian.

I shall now abandon the endlessly ongoing attempt to concoct DDB's multi-ingrediant abomination, and pop the top on a[nother] rolling rock (and pour more straight Patron, see DOTW 9-16-04)

And summer's the best--what's a mere spike in the murder rate compared to the ability to lounge around in trunks and mandals and plunge your arm into an ice chest to bottle fish, and, should you pass out, no chance of frostbite? And awesomely sweaty sex under the stars, for slippin and slidin and salt fer the tequila. Viva la summer!

I'll be either having Natty or PBR. Depends on where I end up drinking.

Raising a PBR to you right now. How can you go wrong with a beer that's STILL bragging about an award they won in 1893?
