If this was the regular season
we’d just pack up and play at Miller. Same fanbase roughly.
Is it April?
True,
Even when the Cubs are visiting.
Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.
Go Pack!

REC'd 1,000 times if I could. Best beer in the world.
Coolio, I’ve found an import version of it at Whole Foods. Runs about $12 /6 bottles, and doesn’t quite seem to taste like it does in Munich, but man is that good beer.

" It’s spring fever - you don’t know what it is you want, but it fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so. "--Mark Twain
Sort of. You should ask for it as Augustiner over here.
Eths is right about what you’d call it in Munich, but no one will understand that. If you ask for Augustiner they should have it. The label and carton have more blue and less gold in the color scheme, and there is a foil wrap around the bottle cap and down the neck.
One word of warning: If you see a six-pack with the words “Maximator” stamped across it, steer clear. That’s an alternative version that is twice as strong, very thick, and to most people (myself included) pretty gross.

I realize it’s only one spot difference, but Dome batting second breaks up the righties a little bit.
