Did she actually drink it lol?
Unrelated, but one of the things that made me really respect Judy Greer was watching a Zoom call table read with the cast of Archer during COVID. Everyone was home and drinking elaborate cocktails except Judy - she was drinking Miller Lite out of a can. Respect.
… Miller Lite though?
I guess she’s a little older, but we have better options these days. Our microbrewery boom was like over a decade ago now, people don’t need to drink the watered down piss anymore.
It’s easy to hate on simple beers, but honestly, they’re fine. Sometimes you want a complex experience that draws your focus; sometimes you just want “a beer” because it’s not something you want to pay attention to.
I lived in the heartland of craft brew for a very long time. I brewed, my partner brews. We went to festivals for brewing. These days, eh, a simple light lager is fine.
Exactly. And frankly, from a brewing and chemical engineering perspective, the consistency and subtle flavors of a light beer are more impressive than something like an IPA where you can just blow out the drinker’s palate with hops and win an award for it.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love big beers. It’s just that I’m almost 40 with three hyperactive, mischievous, and hellaciously smart kids under 10 (and a partner to match); there are many times where light and predictable is really nice.
Agreed, nothing wrong with a lager. Among simple light lagers, though, the major breweries offerings are particularly … simple.
Start the night with a good craft IPA. End the night with Rainier.
My buddy has a good definition of it. He says there are “experience” beers, and “session” beers. Experience beers are more flavorful, filling, complex. Session beers are beers that are easy to drink without thinking too much about it. Like, an experience beer is for an outside deck dinner at sunset. A session beer is for a bonfire or something where you’re looking to get drunk.

Thank you Jimmy Carter.
Beer that comes from a small company whose owner loves its products might be better than beer from a massive multinational umbrella beer corporation. Who would have thought…?
People like what they like, and that usually stems from what they grew up with, even of it’s not the “best” option available.
Yeah, all tastes can be acquired, no question. It’s just an unfortunate reality so many had to make due with vaguely beer-flavored water.
I grew up in St. Louis, home of Anheuser-Busch and I always loved this:
What does bud light have in common with sex on a boat?
They’re both fucking close to water.
You also have to take into account the costs. Poorer people are likely to settle for the cheaper stuff, especially if they do it regularly.
Did she actually drink it lol?
Yes, she (and Colbert) each took a sip.
Also, re Judy Greer, respect.
Can’t drink beer on TV
Sure you can.
And Colbert commonly has a drink with his guests (typically whiskey or bourbon).
Didn’t watch WWE during the attitude era, did ya? Or the man show? Or expedition unknown? Or always sunny? Or cheers? Or lost? Or that 70s show? I could keep going but it’d be nearly limitless. Where did you get this idea? Fuck, I’ve seen people drinking beer on the news. Like, a lot.
Only applies to beer ads AFAIK.
I always was taught that too. Maybe it was an old rule or maybe it’s after a certain time. Maybe it was never true and just something my parents taught me.
Also, maybe Kamala and Colbert didn’t actually have alcohol in the can
Interesting choice. I’m not sure how popping a 12% doppelbach would have come across. But I respect a the quality of a simple thing.
I noticed that a link to the segment hasn’t been shared yet. For those who want to watch - VP Kamala Harris Shares A Miller High Life With Stephen Colbert
Are they really doing the ‘have a beer with’ propaganda bullshit?
She is not one of us, she’s clueless what our struggles are.
You’re really bad at what ever this is that you are trying to do
Every. Single. Time this person posts they have an incredibly negative amount of votes. I have them tagged so that they’re easily identifiable. I would encourage everyone to do the same so you can save yourself time from having to read their posts.
They’re competing with the media bias checker bot for the lowest scores in history
Does anything outside of your confirmation bias make you one easy?
Removed by mod
Yeah, I’ve got this one appropriately tagged
Removed by mod
Trying to circumvent the bot rule?
Oh she’s definitely not one one you, that’s for sure and that’s a good thing.
She’s reasonable. And lives in readily.
She spent her career locking up people like me and denying my rights. The ones not living in reality are liberals that cannot see that they have become the things that they claim to hate
People like you? So you’re a criminal? Because as a DA, she locked up criminals…. because that was her job.
And what rights were you denied exactly. Do you have a list?
No, and neither were the men she kept in prison after their parole dates so the state wouldn’t lose cheap labor
So…. What rights were you denied again? I need some clarification since you didn’t exactly answer the question properly the first time.
Please, if you will- list them by title and code so I can check this against what actually happens in the real world.
