Tall Boy Beers

[DisturbedRamm]

What's everyone's go to , for me it's natty daddy and Milwaukee's best ice

I drank a couple tall boy Cokes today. And asked for a paper bag at the counter. Thug life.

Never had one. You know you're an alcoholic or in the ghetto when you're drinking tall boys.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Holy shit OP. Your palate is amazing.

I mean, if 22oz Natty Ice or Beast is your thing, then why not just pivot over to 32oz Steel Reserve or OE? Far more efficient.

Why a tall boy? If you want twice as much shitty beer, drink two regular sized cans of shitty beer.

It's harder hiding a 6pack in a paper bag, and two singles cost more than one double. A pint of vodka(imported from Indiana) beats them all for expense and concealability though. It's the alcoholic's choice. Buy a bottle of dasani with it, and you won't even need the paper bag.

It's a status thing. Taller cans are for true ballers, not like those weeny 12 oz cans that are only good for tiny-handed bitches.

In the 90s when I was a crackhead I learned to drink 40's from the brothers. Olde English 800, Mickey's, King Cobra, and Magnum are some that I remember buying regularly. That and a nickel bag of weed was the preferred ending to the night in those days.

You can't boil brats in vodka. Well, I guess you could but it wouldn't be the same. Tall boys are a cheap way to get sufficient beer to boil a package of brats.

In the heat of summer I'll occasionally enjoy a tall Miller. One of my go-to summer beers. I limit it to 16 oz cans, though. Not sure if they call 16ers "tall boys" these days. Been a while since I hung out in the hood.

The reason for the bigger container is simply fewer trips to the fridge/cooler. If you're drinking American water-beer in the summer, they don't get warm in the time it takes to drink them.

I love IPA's and other heavy beers but you're crazy to drink those outside when it's really hot. A much lighter beer, pilsner or the like is perfect.

Nothing beats a couple of cold 40's

Back in my day we called a 16oz beer a Tall Boy. Now I hear they are calling 2x4's (24oz) tall boys.

I'm pleased to see Sierra Nevada Torpedo & Goose Island IPA in 16oz cans these days. But if must drink a 2x4 - I'm drinking a Bud Ice.

In my Army days - it was 32oz bottles of Blue Bull for $1 at the shopette. Nothing better than pounding one of those Schlitz's after a hot summer day of work.

I remember hitch-hiking in West Virginia many years ago. Every driver that picked me up had a 16oz beer on the seat between his legs. Before cup holders, I guess.

Well, nothing except for bath salts, anyway.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

You guys need to try drinking actual beer.

That just proves what a backward culture exists in West Virginia. It's like those people never heard of the laws of thermodynamics. You don't keep beer between your legs when driving, it warms up faster that way.

How about a single 12 oz beer in a 40 oz can with 28 oz of gold in the bottom of the can?

 

[Rifter]

Old E all the way!!!!!

Have not seen these yet, nice.

Nothing like a good old fashioned Schlitz

Interesting that you mention Schlitz. Pabst revived the brand several years ago, supposedly using the "original recipe". It was available here in Colorado briefly, then pulled from the market, probably due to lack of sales. I was pretty surprised and think it's one of the better domestic beers of its style, reminding me of some Canadian beers that haven't been watered down like most American beers.

I almost only drink Tall Boys. It seems to me that in the last 10 years they've basically replaced normal(read; midget) sized cans in Ontario. They're cheaper per volume & 2 of those will get you a good buzz started.

I always hated Schiltz myself in the far past.

But I guess it is not something to worry about these days, it was a joke more or less.

Beer has changed a lot over time over the decades and what you can buy locally these days of course.

I still pick up PBR occasionally for nostalgia, by father drank it in the 60's and they stock it pretty cheap at the corner store.

I still prefer a 4 pack of Yeungling pints most of the time just to grab something.
