Beer Talk: Rolling Rock Green Light

You know I like talking beer and I wanted to share one of my recent favorites. It is called Rolling Rock Green Light.

I found it one night when I decided I wasn’t in the mood to spend sixteen bucks for a twelver of Newcastle. It caught my eye and $9.59 later I was on my way home.

It comes in a bottle, as most good beer does, and is very light and refreshing (cheesy but true). Almost comparable to Heineken.

As a side benefit, for those of you like to keep the midsection to a minimum, Green Light clocks in at 91 calories and 2.6 carbs. Good old fashioned semi-guilty free drinking. What could be better?

This is the first beer in the history of me that has made me want to drink it at home by myself on a non-party, non-social type night. Rolling Rock Green Light almost calls to me every time I walk past the fridge in the garage or just before I sit down to do a podcast.

So anyway, I think you get the picture. Time to get out there and see what I’m talking about. If you like light beer, get your ass to the liquor store and pick up a twelver of Rolling Rock Green Light.

You and I both know that great music goes great with weekends. Today I wanted to tell you about a site that celebrates the weekend everyday (A mindset which I am sure you could get used to).

Besides having a great name and a very cool image (when you get there look to the top left of your browser next to the page title) Everyday Weekender has an original theme and it is filled with great content. There are great articles about the goods and activities you might want to enjoy along with some of that great music you hear about on the Musicgoat. Things like good beer, poker, horseshoes and great food. There is also a nice helping of sports and finance stuff.

For those of you who have a a website, blog or any type of link to promote he will help you spread the love by increasing your page rank and exposure if you review his blog.

Stop by and check it out.

4 Simple Steps to Avoid a Hangover

For the first official MusicGoat post I am going to discuss how it is that a semi responsible married guy with two kids can have a good time on the weekend and wake up the next day feeling 98% normal.

Based on 10 years of punishing research I have come to the conclusion that there are only 4 things you need to do;

1) Have decent meal. This may be the most critical step. Before going out you need to get something to soak up the beer and slow its effects. Indulging on an empty stomach is a fast track to toilet city and a screaming headache.

2) Drink the right beer. Back in 1997 I visited England with the local military outfit and made my first big breakthrough. During our leave we partied hard despite the pre-dawn wakeups and heavy day schedule. It was clear after lots of Newcastle Brown Ale, barely four hours of sleep, and a 3 mile run the next morning, there was something up with this English brew. Thank you England!

3) If your a smoker, smoke the right cigarettes. If there is such thing as a healthy cigarette than this brand represents. The makers of Natural American Spirits bill their cigarettes as all natural and additive free. This tasty whole leaf, additive free tobacco shaves off a few guilt points and keeps the morning after under control. As a social, only-when-i-am-drinking smoker, and former fulltime Marb Red smoker, I can tell you there is a unmistakable difference in the way your skull feels following a nite on the town. Can’t miss.

4) Don’t mix. Stay away from any other beverage other than your good friend, water. Now I realize this is much easier said than done especially for those of you who like like to man up with shots but all your work up to this point becomes irrelevant if you decide to take this route.

Just so you know, unfortunately I am not affiliated with any of the above mentioned products. I am only a satisfied customer trying making an honest effort to save you pain and suffering.

Armed with this party strategy you shouldn’t have any problem avoiding a hangover. Remember, eat something, drink Newcastle, smoke american Spirits and don’t mix. Try it out and enjoy the good life without regret. Cheers!
