Thanks to everyone who has supported this little beer tumblr. I'm taking this blog to the next level kiddos. Thats right we just got .com up in here. I know we've had some changes since we were Amateur Ale and I can't guarantee we won't be seeing more changes ahead but c'mon, let me be pumped about my domain name. We've evolved my beautiful and sexy readers. Welcome to Beercasm.com.

Pabst Blue Ribbon Selling for $44 dollars in China.

Before you even ask, there's no evidence that China is the mecca of hipsters. I can't think of a single explanation why PBR is sold at the equivalent price of $44 a bottle. You read that correctly, $44 a BOTTLE. 

This isn't some special PBR you're having. This isn't some sort of unique version, this is the same stuff we reviewed a while back. The 1844 bottle is meant to signify the year it was established. 

This is just unfathomable. I've had a few asian beers. They're extremely light but still have a better taste then the stuff they're selling in the over the top bottle shown to the left. Why the sudden worship of PBR in the east is occurring will never make sense to me. The only explanation I can think of is beer pong JUST got there... and they're going to be good. Have you seen them play ping pong in the olympics? No one tell them about flip cup.

-Cheers

Bohemia Clasica

Rating: 

Brewer: Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma (Can anyone translate this?)

Type: Pale Lager

ABV: 5.3

Color: Yellow Drink Road (Are these getting sad?)

Review:  Hola. I'm sure it would have been more appropriate to have a beer like Yuengling or Sam Adams on an american holiday like Thanksgiving. However I got the rare opportunity to visit my family. My brother and dad wanted to join me in a beer review so they went to Binny's (an amazing store located in Illinois. I'm not sure if it's elsewhere but if there is one near you, Go) and purchased a bunch of beers none of us have ever tried. 

I drank this one blind, my brother poured it in a glass and handed it to me. It smelt like a very crisp lager but tasted like a pale ale. I couldn't tell what it was and laughed when I was told it was a pale lager. It's taste is very light unlike other mexican beers I've tried. It reminds me of an unsalted potato chip. Crisp but unseasoned. If you're looking for a light beer but not one that taste watered down like most domestics, this import is a really good choice. You can enjoy it with many foods because it's taste won't get in the way, it won't enhance it either though.

Overall it's a pretty good beer that's easy to enjoy. What more could you ask for? ...dang I'm easy going today.

Cheers.

Madden Mayhem

Players: 2-4

Materials: Any Madden or NFL game. (Blitz might be a little different but it's N64 so it rules.)

How to play: The game is simple. Play madden and drink at the following moments. 

Whoever loses the coin-flip drinks.

Kicking or Punting Team must drink while ball is in the air. This includes all field goals, kick offs and punts. 

Defense must drink whenever a first down is made.

Defense must drink a second for each point scored on them.

When a penalty is accepted the person it is against must drink for each yard it costs.

At half time you must finish what is left in your open beer (if any.)

Turnovers (including interceptions, fumbles and t-o-d's) result in the offensive team bringing the defensive team a new round.

The loser must drink in seconds the amount of points they lost the game by.

If a player is shut out they must shotgun a beer instead of the deficit. 

Please remember to drink responsibly.

-Cheers

New Name: Beercasm

                   Today I decided to change the name of my blog. Por que? While Amateur Ale was a decent name to start off with, although the A.A. jokes were really in poor taste, I didn't think it described what we were going for anymore. I picked Amateur Ale before because the goal was to create a blog from the mindset of someone who knew little about beer but would describe beers from that viewpoint. That's still who we are at heart (and liver) but it didn't drive the point home. It was wordy and I was tired of people asking if I was brewing beer when I mentioned it. 

Beercasm was ultimately decided upon, after much needed help, because it captures the attitude that we're going for. Beer and Sarcasm. That's us in a bottle. We also considered Barcasm because it sounds closer to sarcasm but we wanted our focus to be primarily on beer so Beercasm won out. Please don't mistake it for BeerGASM. We're classy here. Alright maybe not classy but something close.

Thanks to all who have been following us as Amateur Ale and we hope to continue to deliver funny reviews with terrible grammar here at Beercasm.tumblr.com (soon to just be Beercasm.com)

Cheers.
