cheap beer

I'm off on vacation, 10 days in Florida, to do nothing but play golf and drink cheap beer. Does it get any better than that? The world's premium cheap beer is Keystone Light. Whenever I want people to laugh at me -- and who doesn't want that, right? -- I tell them I drink Keystone. Twelve bucks for a 30-pack, goes down like water. I consider myself a beer connoisseur. I've had Guinness in a Dublin pub, Mythos in Athens in the shade of the Acropolis and Hudy Delight at Quatman's in Norwood. I have a big bottle of Belgian called Affligem Tripel, waiting to be uncorked for a special occasion. When it comes to beer, I know what I know. Keystone rocks. Live big. And, of course, drink responsibly.

Doc-

Couple of years (and about 30 lbs) ago, I tried a 30 pack of Coors Extra Gold (about $12/30pk). Amazing stuff, but not your lite beer. Hard to find locally, Jungle Jim's has it other than that, I don't know.

Enjoy Florida. I'm off to Siestas Key in July (wanted to be sure we didn't get any cool weather).

Hey paul, maybe when you get back you can interview parents from NCH to get their side of the story. We pretty much know the "white westside/conservitive Cincinnati media side.

yeah, that would be great.

interview parents from NCH and hear how they're going to blame everything that they think is wrong on anyone but themselves.

that would be awesome.

A ballpark would've been cool at Broadway Commons.

I hope you took AP writer Joe Kay with you...then you captains of negativity could've complained the whole trip to one another!

Hey Paul, the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA) just released their awards for 2005. The Bengals weren't the only winner from Cincy. YOU won the award for Most Negative Column Writer! Alright! Drink a cold one for your efforts!

Paul - I'm sure you realize the people commenting on your so-called "negativity" are morons.

Your recent column on Cincinnati's missed opportunity at Broadway Commons was excellent. Recently, I saw some pics of the proposed ballpark, and they reminded me of how incredible it would have been. It makes me a little sad that this city is so provincial that we can't even look five hours up the road at what Cleveland did and think maybe -- just maybe -- other cities have some good ideas.

You've obviously never seen Joe Kay.

You're right, I've never seen him. But I have read his AP articles, and he seems VERY eager to slam the Reds and Bengals every time they may slip.

Anonymous at 4:35,

Grow up. I have it on the best authority that Joe Kay is a very solid reporter.

Please do not wreck this blog with tripe.

What kind of a name is Chip?

Anyways, I agree with ANON that Joe Kay's negativity DOES show up in his writing. Read some of his game articles when the Reds lose 3 out of 4...he starts jumping on them and making fun of them.

I'm with Chip Lapp.... I stopped reading these blogs for awhile because I got tired of those who think others are morons, and say so... It just rubs me the wrong way... I came back, and it is the same thing again. Can we just not be civil?
Honest to God....

Personally, I'm a big Leinenkugel fan. Or P.B.R.
As for Joe Kay, he's a class act all the way and one heck of a journalist.
