Last night I developed a new unit of measure – a beer’s “value factor.”\u00a0 It is measured as (ounces per beer) * (% ABV) \/ cost.\u00a0 It’s a way of determining which beer gives you the most bang for your buck.<\/p>\n
To give an example of the value factor of a well known beer, let’s use John D’s favorite, the Bud Light bottle.\u00a0 It would compute to 12 * 4.2% \/ $3.25 = 0.16.<\/p>\n
Victory Hop Wallop at the Saucer has a high value factor.\u00a0 It would be 16 * 8.25% \/ $5.50 = 0.24.<\/p>\n
Foster’s Oil Can at the Saucer also scores high.\u00a0 Its value factor is 25 * 5.1% \/ $5.50 = 0.23.<\/p>\n
For the best value factor though, go to Calhoun’s.\u00a0 PBR there: 16 * 5.0% \/ $2 = 0.4.<\/p>\n
Hop Wallop’s value factor did the trick last night.\u00a0 I got to the Saucer at 10:30, absolutely fuming.\u00a0 I’d just busted out of a poker tournament, and it was one of the few times I actually got mad about a hand, as my Aces over Fours full house lost to a better full house of Aces over Sevens.\u00a0 Hop Wallop did the trick, and three beers later I had forgotten that poker even existed.\u00a0 As I walked out of the Saucer I ran into some people and went to Rehab Disco, where I had a very good time at their downstairs bar, Rockbottom.\u00a0 They told me they have a beer pong tournament every Thursday night.\u00a0 I’ll have to check that out.<\/p>\n
Ah. Sunday morning.\u00a0 Getting ready to pack the PBR in a cooler and head to a friend’s place to watch the World Cup final.\u00a0 Of course, the Saucer is kinda sorta on the way, so I may have to make a stop there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
