some of you may recall a particular charismatic beer vendor at Busch II circa 1994? his turf was down in the lower seats behind dugout .. his call was a booming "Bud LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGHHTT!!" After the seventh when all the other beer vendors called it a night, he'd roll out with "O' DOOOOOOUUUULLLLLSS!


I can drink an O' Douls - but I don't.

Best beer ever!

Simply amazing. I also tried the 8, not as good. The bartender told me there is a 12 but it's hard to find.

Yes it is.
Bell's is awesome. Oberon is great, Two Hearted is Divine.
kickin back with a Bells Two Hearted. The hoppiest beer I've enjoyed. Odells 5 Barrel Pale Ale gets good marks too.

This American infatuation with hops, where will it end? Is it the microbrew version of the disposable razor wars? We have FOUR blades. Oh Yeah! We have FIVE!

I'm not a hoppy beer fan, and steer away from IPAs. Two Hearted Ale was a nice surprise. my tolerance for hops has gone up over time.

I really enjoyed hoppy beers but either I have lost tolerance or it's a case of More's Law.

I love the taste, to the point that I don't enjoy sweeter beers as much as I used to. That said, hopping the living hell out of a beer just to say you have is a fad that will pass. I like a hoppy beer with good balance. Bells Two Hearted is a great example of that.

I'll drink an overly hoppy beer over an overly malty beer any time. I've had some terrible overly malty beers.
