Reminds me of the time my friend Pete and I went to a Yankees game back in the '50s. We were only 14 and went by bus and subway. I always looked older than my true age, so we bought beer.
But that was after we bought ice cream.
Red Sox won.
Subway ride home was an event to remember.
My initial response was yuck. Although this chocolate beer is really good, so it might be OK.

Speaking of beer and beer companies...I just read where a merger might occur that might have a permanent effect on the competitiveness of the industry and on small micro-brews. It has to be approved..so it still has a chance of defeat.
" The world's biggest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD), has once again upped the offer to buy its chief rival SABMiller in an attempt to create a super brewery.
The latest bid values the maker of Miller Lite, Pilsner Urquell and Peroni at £67.3 billion ($103 billion).
AB InBev is now proposing £43.50 ($66.80) per share in cash to most investors, up from £42.15 last week.
For the deal to go through, SABMiller's two biggest shareholders -- Altria Group and Colombia's BevCo -- would have to accept an alternative cash and shares offer worth £38.88 ($59.6) per share, up from £37.49.
SABMiller (SBMRY) has not commented on the latest offer.
The "Bud-Miller" would be the world's largest beermaker by far, with nine of the world's top 20 beers by volume, and annual sales of $55 billion. "
Reporting in - I do like the taste of Sam Adams Rebel IPA. It reminds me somewhat of another I like (not that they're the same, but because I like both, instead of being bored), New Belgium's 1554.
