Help me get rid of beer

Message Bookmarked

Sarah threw a surprise birthday party for me on Saturday, a whole bunch of people came, and everyone brought beer. So we have about 20-25 or so beers left in our fridge. I don't want to drink all of them. Most of them are PBR but there are some nicer beers left as well. How should I dispose of them?
Suggestions to avoid: "Drink them!" (See above), "Send them to me!" (they will get warm, duh).

Bring 'em all out to Vegas this weekend. We will drink them for you.

have another party? a No-BYOB?

You could always make a few loaves of beer bread...

― Leon Federline (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I would probably drink them though.

― Leon Federline (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

1) Open a speakeasy in your apartment.

2) Give them to one of your neighbors.

3) Give them to homeless people.

4) Keep them in a cooler at your practice space.

go to the park or wherever and be the beer fairy!

5) Make lots of beer (tofu) brats.

beer battered fish & chips pary?

― marianna, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

Really though, why don't you want to drink them? Is it just that you don't like beer?

You could make beer batter and fry fish in it.

(ha! mindmeld!)

yeah I just hold on to them. They'd be gone in a week over here.

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

You should probably chuck the PBR at the friends that brought it. Either they're way too cheap or they think it's trendy, which might be a death offense. If they just brought it for their own drinking and left it behind, I guess that's permitted...

I like beer, but I after a crazy unhealthy weekend of beer, cake, etc., I'm trying to maintain a somewhat healthy diet, so I'm trying to avoid drinking 25 beers (or as the Canadians say, "25 beer"). Also, PBR is something that I'm OK with drinking at a bar or a party but not really at my house with dinner. So it's mainly the PBRs I'm looking to dispose of.
xpost, no, PBR is perfectly fine for parties. Plus some of these people where people I don't know that well so they probably didn't want to spend big bucks on me.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

This bar I played at on Friday provided drink tickets that were only redeemable for Pabst or Huber.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

arrgh! i hate it when venues do things like that. and what's the point, really? they save a few cents and get a bad reputation.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:51 (twenty years ago)

Bars charging $2 per can of PBR and actually selling a lot of it are genius, though.

Back to the topic at hand: beer brats.

― mike h. (mike h.), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:54 (twenty years ago)

I made some last night before bed.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)

I genuinely like PBR, but I've stopped buying beer to keep in the apartment, mostly because I live alone and I didn't like the habit I was developing of coming home late at night and having a couple of beers before bed.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:56 (twenty years ago)

But what if I give to you for free?

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 14:57 (twenty years ago)

What's worse, beer before bed or beer brats before bed?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

That doesn't change anything, Nick.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 15:01 (twenty years ago)

Move house.

― Owen, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:31 (twenty years ago)

Get in a convertible and mount some speakers on it and have the beers all sprawled out in the back seat and be like "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE AVERT YOUR GAZE FROM THE POPE OF BEER TOWN" and wave that little elbow-elbow-wrist-wrist wave you do oh so well.

― nickalicious will find his password, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

That doesn't really solve your problem though. D'oh!

― nickalicious will find his password, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

Wash your hair with it.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:36 (twenty years ago)

Memorial day weekend is coming up! Our friend Courtney is coming to town, so we'll come over and help you finish them off. Her and Sarah can talk about being tall.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

HUBER? ickkk

― g e o f f (gcannon), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Put the beer in a half-nelson and escort it from the premises.

― Owen, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:42 (twenty years ago)

Take a PBR. Drink about half of it (I know you don't want to, so pour it out if need be). Turn on your grill. Take a chicken and rinse it inside and out, pat dry and put some olive oil on it. Rub chicken inside and out with a mixture of paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, salt. Put the chicken onto the PBR and spread the legs so there's a little chicken tripod to stand up. Grill on indirect heat for 1.5 hours on about 275-300 degrees. Perfect.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:43 (twenty years ago)

I might be around to help drink it on Sunday if I can ditch my moms that night.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

i think you should invite some friends over, have them wear crummy clothes, then go in to the park with a couple cans each and BEER FIGHT.

later, group shower.

― g e o f f (gcannon), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

omg mcd is sooo right on

― g e o f f (gcannon), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 16:45 (twenty years ago)

There's no need to worry if your local borough has a Remembrancer, as the disposal of beer is within the Remembrancer's jurisdiction.

― Owen, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:00 (twenty years ago)

The chicken PBR tripod would be a good idea if Nick and Sarah weren't vegetarians.

― nickal icious, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:03 (twenty years ago)

You can bury jars of the beer around your garden to keep the slugs out.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:04 (twenty years ago)

You should like recreate Michaelangelo's David, but with beer cans.

probably they got a sponsorship!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:05 (twenty years ago)

anyway n/a, beer lasts a while, so why not just keep 'em in the back of your fridge for when you get the urge again? think of it as a "beer bank"

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:05 (twenty years ago)

I think watching a garden slug dissolve in beer is the most grossly fascinating thing I have watched.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:05 (twenty years ago)

I don't think Huber is made by Pabst, is it? Anyway I assumed that they were either being cheap or being patriotic Wisconsinites (but that wouldn't explain why were denied the good local beer like Capital and New Glarus, so nevermind).

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:08 (twenty years ago)

Jocelyn, When I lived on a farm, we used to have these huge bonfires to get rid of bad wood from a collapsed barn. The wood was covered in huge slugs, so as it burned, we would watch them melt off. Ick.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

You gotta peel the label off the neck and use the beer as a guitar slide whilst crunching out mean-ass bluesy riffs. Then pause to pound beer, then have another beer and repeat four or five times until bluesy riffs get unbearably mean-ass, resulting in a nasty ol' stanky-ass fonky mess of blues the likes of which can only otherwise be found on the stanky-ass fonky floor behind the bar.

And that, my friend, is what you do with 25 beers.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

Yes, this is all bottled beer. So no beercan statues, unfortunately. I think there might be a couple of Woodchuck ciders mixed in there too.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

Of course!

Pour it all in the bathtub and snorkle in it.

I have never seen PBR in a bottle. .that seems to go against it's cheap nature!

― Miss Misery (thatgirl), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:50 (twenty years ago)

You know how it is... Nick and all his fancy-pants Wicker Park friends.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:51 (twenty years ago)

I guess I've never seen Schlitz or Hamm's in a bottle. But you can get bottled PBR in plenty of bars in Chicago. A few do only have it in cans, though.

If it comes in a bottle you have to drink it with your pinkie sticking out.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

It seems the Pabst brewery produces every crap beer known to man!

Break out the duct tape, take 1 huge chug off the first, then 3 off the second, 5 off the third, 7 off the fourth, etc until you get to seven bottles. Duct tape the bottles together with their mouths in a row, and VOILA drunken zanfear.

Maybe you could donate it to goodwill.

Give it to Heather.

― seal, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Make a game of it. See how many beers you can drink in an hour, and then try to break that record.

― slightly more subdued (kenan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

25 beers isn't exactly a lot... invite four friends round and just sit about for the evening!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Do either you or Sarah want more luxurous body in your hair? Seriously PBR would be the perfect brew to do this. When done washing & conditioning hair in shower dump the PBR on top of your head, then rinse. I swear to god it won't make you smell like PBR, and you will have luxurious body in your hair for a day. 25 days.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 20:58 (twenty years ago)

See? Thank you. I mentioned that upthread and it just passed by with no comment. I mean, washing your hair with it seems like the #2 most obvious thing to do.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 21:10 (twenty years ago)

I read that as "more luxurious body hair".

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 21:11 (twenty years ago)

That too! You don't know what N/A wants to do with his chest hair!

walter I saw what you posted and then figured perhaps everyone thought you were being faceteous? That's spelled wrong isn't it? So I got ya back.

― Allyzay is not appropriate for freedom (allyzay), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 21:12 (twenty years ago)

Cheap beer is good for a compost heap.

Exactly what beer is around? Seriously, like, make a quick list. I can tell you what's worth drinking.
