This was the background music during the extended fight sequence intro for the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, “JCVD”.

Live the dream….even if i means working for free….for a while. Sometimes, you have to do whatever it takes to get the experience. I’m doing the same thing, it a round about way. I help out when I can.

Marketing. It’s all about trying to market their beer to the “beer snob”. Like it would really work. The average Miller drinker couldn’t care less about how it’s made. All they car about is that it was on sale. It’s nothing more than an attempt to take market share away from the little guys.
(Can you tell I hate Miller?)

Thanks for your comment Dan. Over three years after I posted that I’m still getting replies! Let me know if you ever get a chance to meet her again, I’d like to know how it turns out. Good luck!

I met a gorgeous deaf girl at a wedding this weekend who didn’t know sign language but could read lips. I think we hit it off pretty well until I panicked when my completely ignorant side kicked in and I realized that I should probably ask her to dance after dinner and spent half an hour wondering if that would be awkward. Un/fortunately she had to leave before the dancing started, but it turns out she’s really good friends with my best friend’s brother, so I’m hoping that’s a situation I’ll encounter again!

Haha yeah Augi and I talked about this when we met up while you were in Australia. The first time I saw it I wanted to throw the remote at the TV. Don’t get me started on “drinkability”. It’s like saying, “Hey drink our beer, it’s the most middle-of-the-road and unflavorful beer on the market!”.

hahaha Augi gets FURIOUS watching these commercials. I remember the first few times we saw this commercial, and he threw down whatever he was holding and was like, “REALLY??!! Cuz ALL beers are triple hops brewed!!!”
Sometimes when I want to piss him off I ask for a beer that has drinkability. lol

Thanks for the comment Carlos! Yup, it’s just another marketing buzzword. I’m sure we’ll hear more of these buzzwords as beer drinkers become more sophisticated and the old ones don’t cut it anymore. Let’s do a Southbay beer outing sometime soon now that I’m down here for a few weeks. Did you make it to Naja’s IPA Fest?

hey austin, you know i watched that miller lite commercial and as soon as i heard “triple hops brewed”, i immediately thought about our discussion the other day about “cold fitered” and the such. now my brewmaking knowledge is only cursory, but i thought surely this was just a marketing ploy. sure enough, my instincts were right. thank you for the insight and the context in which you framed it. always question everything!

Kamron thanks for your comment, I’m glad one of us had success! Unfortunately I never saw her again. I’m sure I could of used some of your charm back then.
