Will you be serving beer, or just Coors Light?

E your not getting in on hitting knowledge alone. Youre gonna have to pony up and bring a keg of 805.

Coors light is a pefectly good lawn mowing beer. Its not bad. Tasty water with a little bit of 'forget your problems' mixed in.

I used to have a beer while sitting on the bucket catching for DD. Every time and I mean everytime I did she would knock my beer over. Sit it behind the bucket she hits it. Set the beer 20 feet to my right she would hit. Hide it behind a tree or on a shelf in the garage she center punches it. I finally gave up.


Hmmmm maybe I should put a beer in my catchers mit... it might be safe there.

I'm nominating FFS to bring beer. The quantity and quality of brews in Portland is hard to beat....and I say that as a huge fan of CA IPAs.

Coors is already an incredibly light beer ... but Coors Light is .... well, I wouldn't personally bother with it. Life is way too short for such 'beer'. EricF nailed it.

Most beers have an ideal serving temperature. There’s a chart below outlining which styles are served at what temperature, but as a general rule the temperature at which to serve a beer is correlated to the strength of the beer. As beers go up in alcohol, they are generally drunk at a warmer temperature. This is because stronger beers often are sipped slowly, and enjoyed for their complexity of flavor and aroma while weaker beers are often consumed for refreshment. For no style is this more apparent than American macro lagers, which are generally drunk so cold that you can’t taste them. There’s a reason those big brewers want people to drink their beers at tongue-numbing temperatures. As they warm up, they don’t taste very good.

Think it will be real beer, or some fantasy brand, from a fantasy brewery, were he is the head connoisseur.

I would like to sign DD up for this but she needs a boat to aim at.

Is there going to be a boat in the basement?

Excellent job of identifying the problem.

Any tips or drills that will help in determining what beer to drink?

What beer do you like five?

Even if it is a fantasy beer, I'd rather drink that than Coors Light.

I generally go with a variety. After hitting in the cages, I drive into the garage and one of the first things I do is check out what my wife has on the shelves ... then select one and enjoy.

I like my beers garage temperature. Back East I enjoyed them at cellar temperature. Never really was into 36F beer.

Depending on the season I prefer a particular style of beer. Stout, Porter, IPA ... . About a month ago a hitter's parents gave me a six-pac of a beer I hadn't tried before ... it was pretty good ... Shake ... a chocolate porter.

Heck, I even enjoy Sam Adams Lager.

Not a fan of pilsners and never could bring myself to drink a "light" pilsner ... pilsners to me are already overly light.

But that's me ... and I'm fine if others feel the need to quaf a pilsner light at 36F ... just not for me.

No, no pool table.
