Orlando Salido vs. "Mikey" Garcia - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Diane]

Evening all. Just sitting down to watch this with my fake dead girlfriend. I'm drinking a Duvel. At 1-2 degrees centigrade Duvel is the world's greatest beer. I won't be drinking it all night though, I'm fried already and it's too strong to drink a lot of.

I think there is something wrong with me, because I'm not a huge fan of most Belgium-style beers.

Depends what you get. All of the craft/Trappist ones are seriously strong and it puts people off. I drink them all literally ice cold and they're less soup-like like that. Then you've got the mass produced stuff like Stella which twenty years ago used to be a great beer but now with modern brewing methods is brewed in eight days instead of eight weeks (like all big branded beers, some now brewed in three days) and is piss.

It's really hard to find a session 4-5% lager beer that's good quality. Belgium no different from anywhere else unfortunately. After my Duvel I'm drinking Urquell and that's not the same anymore either.

I don't drink mass-produced beer if I can avoid it; Stella is ass. I've become something of a beer snob in my old age.

I've tried a ton of different Belgian and Belgian-style beers, Trappist and otherwise, and I just didn't really like most of them. There are some I enjoy, but on the whole I'm just not a huge fan (unlike almost everyone else it seems).

I much prefer North American ales.

They're tricky to get over here. Brooklyn lager and Sam Adams is about it, although to be fair I've never looked on the net. The US seems to like superstrong IPAs/porters which I think are the worst styles to make as a strong beer. Plenty of good English ales over here but I'm in a lager mood tonight.

IPA's are huge over here right now. I went to a bar that specializes in craft beers from the west coast and 5 of the 16 beers on tap were IPA's. I don't mind IPA's, but that is overkill imo.

Right now, I really like red and pale ales.

right now, i'm really liking the oxycotin my dr just put me on. its starting to kick in.

I was prescribed some Oxy when I got my wisdom teeth out 5 years ago. I've never taken one, but I haven't been able to throw them out either

well he gave me a high dosage for small fractures i got in my lower back 3 weeks ago. this shit is good. taking me forever to find the right keys on the keyboard lol. probably won't be able to type soon.

danny is laughing at my speech.
