How the hell did Blue Moon take home so many awards? Coors must have opened the corporate coffers for the judges.

What you missed while celebrating the end of the Predators season

Only thing that would make me happier is the team finally leaving Nashville.

What you missed while plotting how to sneak out of work early to catch the Champions League tomorrow ...

@Afino: Dude, I just realized. You root for the Braves, Sabres, and Packers. You're like a man without a country.

Release the beer snobs!

/i'm one of them

What you missed while going to the driving range for the first time in 9 months on Saturday and still feeling it today.

/horribly out of shape

What you missed while getting cold-called by the Nashville Predators for a job.

"Yes, I did play goalie in 7th grade gym class floor hockey, why?"

@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: I'm going to start complaining today. I think I'm going to have a relapse next week, too.

Ooooh, my ovaries...

Natty Light came in 3rd out of 34 entries for "American-Style Light Lager"?? Isn't that the category Miller Lite and Bud Lite always trumpet as winning all the time? If so, that's embarrassing to lose to freaking Natty Light.

American Style Light Lager (34 Entries)
Bronze
Natural Light

To the 31 beers that finished below Natty Light: you fail.

Coffee flavored beer?.....I didn't know Drew Carey was in the competition.

@Gordon Bombay: Ha, I win.
I also don't see any mention of Yuengling on here, so I call shenanigans to this whole competition.

@TheWrathofQBEagles: It's especially embarassing since Anheuser-Busch produces both Bud Light and the Natty. Like losing to the JV squad.

@Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price:

I know. I've been told that many, many times. At least one of them is actually my home team.

@TheWrathofQBEagles: The real winners here are my fellow Natty Light drinkers. Our thriftiness has been validated.

What you missed while...while...Jesus, I've been drunk for three days.

BUDWEISER GOT HOSED!

@White Speed Receiver: *cough...coughcough* I'm really not feeling well, boss. Could I leave at, say, 2:15? Wait...account for traffic to MacDinton's...2:00?

@Gordon Bombay: It should be noted that the style guidelines for american light lager for flavor it just says "ass."

@TheEggman:

I tried the Meantime Coffee Porter last week, It was really good, but my friend homebrews an espresso stout thats better.

@EdFinnerty:

and the cheap aluminum can it comes in.

@Gordon Bombay:

Exactly. Now I can run it in the faces of all my friends who bring their own Miller Light to my house when I'm offering free Natty for all.

Like zombies and Chandra Levy...

we prefer to offend everyone equally, regardless of candidate affiliation

@IsoldmysoultoMilhouseVanhouten: You may want to keep that down...

@IsoldmysoultoMilhouseVanhouten:

I think I meant RUB it in the faces

@ltwinslow: +1

I had forgotten about her.

What you missed last night while wondering if the Cubs could play the Pirates every day.

American Style Light Lager aka Cheap, Mass-Produced Skunk Urine

@White Speed Receiver: Oh come on, Dan Ellis wasn't THAT bad. Sure, letting in a short handed goal from center ice was not pretty, but you could easily make a case that warmed puck + bad ice=E6. He had a .938 save percentage, way better than Hasek's .887 (which is why Babcock went to Osgood, but I digress.) I don't think it's fair to lay it on him. If anyone, blame the Pred who caused Jason Arnott to become concussed while celebrating his Game 3 winner.

@J-No:

And the Braves playing the Dodgers every day.

What about 3.2 coffee-flavored beer?

Award Winning Busch Ice?
Is that like Cy Young winner Barry Zito?

@ltwinslow: Modesto Represent!

What you missed while crawling into a hole for two weeks.

Finals are over! I can go back to being not funny on deadspin. Hooray!

@TheWrathofQBEagles: Thats why no one takes Anheuser-Busch or Miller seriously when they brag about their "awards". Because they beat beers like Natty Light to get them.

@White Speed Receiver: Without Ellis, that series is over in 5. With Ellis, and without some of the injuries, they would have pushed the Wings to 7, and I would have put even money on them to win.

What you missed while realizing that "The Naked Archaeologist, Chasing the Temple Booty" is blatant false advertising.

What you missed while letting your flight over fight instinct kick in...

GSP! GSP! GSP!
(I know... it was 2 nights ago)
