trust anheuser busch to have taken a lovely mexican idea and, well, taken it i have been known to extol the virtues of a true mexican michelada as it is the beer version of the caesar and probably most refreshing in hot weather but i find the concept of ruining perfectly good beer with clamato not something i am likely to do shans is heading to sasquatch this weekend and is overwhelmingly excited to be stopping at american walmart on her way to stock up on the bud chelada i cringe but hope for her sake it is all that she has dreamed of, and then some (i mean maybe the clamato will make the budweiser actually palatable...)

i'll be spending my hallowe'en afternoon at empire stadium enjoying the last bc lions' home game of 2010 and the last game in the outdoor stadium i've enjoyed the stadium i'll admit to being quite apprehensive at first about sitting outside in vancouver weather but it has been mostly very enjoyable good choice to be all nostalgic this year while bc place is under destruction/construction/obstruction but the beer you just knew i was gonna have to bitch about the beer! what's with horribly insipid beer at outrageously inflated prices? blech! next year, in the newly improved bc place, i would very much like to see some craft beer even a return to russell's horrid bc lions lager would be an improvement over the bud and bud light lime! but what if we got good beer? c'mon howe sound, c'mon r & b, c'mon dead frog, c'mon storm someone get the contract for the stadium and give us good beer for our overpriced enjoyment!!
