When summer comes, it just feels wrong to float around
the eight-foot kiddie pool on our roof with something too heavy -- even
if it is a fine triple bock, crafted of only lightweight oats, with a
burr of ginger in there to make the upper note come alive. Nope. We're
looking for something light or unusual or goddamned fruity that's nothing
put pure alcohol and we cannot tell. Only when it's very hot can we reach
the mind blowingly wasted levels we hit when we first started sucking
down booze. Ah, the spins. Unintentional barfing. So much fun.
Here are twenty more bottles of summertime crap to swill.
Enjoy. Big ups to Isaac
Newton's Restaurant, in historic Newtown, Pa., which provided us with
the beers that you'd never heard of. Oh, and one more summertime tip:
Pink people, when drinking, wear sunblock.

Bacardi Silver O3
Claims to have the natural flavors of Mandarin, Tangerine and Valencia
Oranges, but after three sips all you'll be tasting is pussy, bro. Get
a case of this crap, a 14-foot-long ice cream truck that plays "Gimme
the Light" by Sean Paul real loud and drive around a high school
parking lot. In no time, this sweet orange nectar will have half the parking
lot in heat and you live the dream, bro. Live the dream.
Rating: Revenge.

Mike's Hard Lemonade
Wharp! You can actually hear your asshole close tight when
you drink this. We're not saying this is too sour, but after we drank
it, our prostates filed for drought relief from FEMA. A brush fire actually
engulfed our hemorrhoids. Our penis turned brittle and developed four
layers of crust. Smokey the Bear showed up and declared our taint an official
danger zone. Mercifully, we lathered the inflicted area with asbestos
and flushed it with a vat of aloe. Pucker up!
Rating: Sterilized.

Edison Light Beer
The label looks promising, but if Thomas Edison invented a light beer,
I don't think it would be this beer, because this has all the electricity
of a wind up car. It's just like dating a 23-year-old cokehead. Sure,
it's all trendy looking, sitting there in front of ya, dwittering like
mad, twattering off about politics, promising all this historically important
premium level fucking -- but in the end it's just some hyped up dude with
a limp dick in thrift store clothing.
Rating: Assy.

Smirnoff Ice
Oooh. This is smooth. Super smooth. If pudding could doodie, it wouldn't
come out this smooth. I know any man who has to shave his face shouldn't
enjoy Smirnoff Ice so much, but hey, I took one sip and my virility's
still intact. In fact, I'm so confident in my masculinity right now that
I'd probably let Vladmir Putin and Yakoff Smirnoff (no relation) paint
my toenails fuschia and massage my inner thighs with Aloe Vera. So, cheers
you hairy, fur-hatted Commies!
Rating: Drago.

St. Pauli Girl
Most people don't know this, but the St. Pauli Girl on the bottle is actually
being licked by an Aryan gentleman named Thor, who is hiding just underneath
the logo. Of course, she's German, so she gassed him afterwards. Fortunately,
the nectar of cyanide that drips from her love produces the bittersweet
aftertaste of St. Pauli Girl. It consistently hits the G-spot, though,
in a rough, repetitive manner that leaves your tongue stale, jaw numb
and everyone unhappy. But if this is the best you can do in a pinch --
it even smells like fish!
Rating: Lapping.

Del's Double Barrel Hard Lemonade
I don't know what the hell kind of natural flavors are out there in Wilkes
Barre, Pa., but they taste suspiciously like Mr. Clean. Not only does
this so-called beverage taste like ammonia, the little skins floating
around in there make it kind of crunchy, kind of flaky, and generally
off-putting. Then again, if you're a janitor with a scathing case of eczema
who likes huffing paint and bathing in urine -- hey, this might be the
shit.
Rating: Pine Sol with Lemon.

Summer Lightning
Ah, those wonderful summer thunderstorms. They break the humidity at just
the right time -- a great departure from running through sprinklers, barbecues,
and the menacing, unrelenting July heat. Time for indoor games. And while
something called "Summer Lightning" seems perfect for such moments,
it's about as satisfying as a vibrator made of hummus. Sure, the bottle's
gi-nor-mous and it's got fucking lightning on it -- but this beer's
bland, uninspired taste made me curl up with Emily Dickinson's poetry
and toss in that Hayden record for kicks. Damn you Summer Lightning! I
have lost my will to live. Forever.
Rating: Bud Dwyer.

Captain Morgan's Gold
In the 120-degree heat, Larry's giant-sized rum and coke sat sweltering
in the driver's side cupholder, ice cubes slowly watering down the beverage
until it was a mellow tan color. Next to the cup, in the passenger's side
seat, lay the limp, bloated hulk of Shiela, Larry's recently deceased
German Shepherd-Poodle mix. Won't Larry be surprised when he gets back
from the mall! His rum and coke will taste exactly like Captain Morgan's
Gold!
Rating: Poor Sheila.

Victory Whirlwind Witbier
V is for victory! V is for vagina! V is for "Victory Whirlwind Witbiershnauzerfuttenumlaut,"
or whatever they call this thing. Oh baby, I've taken 14 sips of this
spicy, nutty, little fruit Nazi and feel completed revitalized. There's
a spring in my step, a rise in my shorts, and there are no police around
to arrest me for pleasuring myself in public. I shall flog, and flog hard.
And after every masterful, delicate stroke, I shall sip this beer. Welcome
to Graceland, Pricilla! Show me the throne!
Rating: One sock on.

Twisted Tea -- Hard Iced Tea
Remember when you'd go to the beach with your little plastic bucket and
shovel? I used to look in the rocks for crabs and shit. Back before my
balls dropped, I didn't like iced tea. Sure grandma sucked it down like
Metamucil, but I thought it tasted like the water from my watercolor set.
I was totally copacetic with my fucking my Kool-Aid. But times changed,
I grew pubes, and actually started to like iced tea. Just not this crap.
Suddenly I'm eight again and some woman who smells like moth balls won't
give me my fucking Kool-Aid.
Rating: Inadequate.

Woody's Ice Hard Orange
Hi. My name's Woody. I'm an ice beer with a "hard orange" nickname.
I'm what happens when Tropicana and Zima sport-fuck in Cancun for three
days. And you know what? I taste pretty damn goooooood. Go ahead. Lift
me up. Put your lips up to mine. Citrus, right? Refreshing, right? Just
drink all of me, enjoy me, and don't ever mention my name again to anyone,
including your friends. Everybody has a "camp" experience right?
Well you just had yours.
Rating: Suppressed.

Sam Adams Summer Ale
My left testicle may be hanging out of my little white shorts, but why
should I care? I have a $400,000 fiberglass boat and a Sam Adams Summer
Ale in my hand. If my sister's husband doesn't want to see my hairy ball,
he doesn't have to look at it. After all this is my goddamned boat, I
fucking paid for it and if my fat ass slut of a sister doesn't like it,
she can fucking swim back to shore. This is my damned boat. This is my
damned beer.
Rating: It's MY Boat. Mine.

Stone IPA
This beer is from India and is classified as a "pale ale," but
lemme tell you, ain't nothing pale about India. This "Stone IPA"
-- which sounds like the name of low-level wrestling tag team -- is an
Indian manifesto, complete with arranged marriage and appropriate dowry.
She might get the cattle and the 20 acres, but in this situation, let's
just call you Pakistan. You have the bombs, you have the unhinged citizenship,
and, most important, you have international amnesty and good will to throw
some shit down stealth-like. I got your flying rug right here, Apu! We've
got nukes, fuckface. Sit on this! America rules!
Rating: Atomic.

Woodchuck Drift Cider
This beer was brewed in Vermont, and wouldn't you know it? It tastes like
the flesh of a Phish phan who's still roaming around the woods because
he just loves nature and, oh, uh, isn't really down with the nine-to-five
thing. Rejoice! You want cider? This cider just penetrated your earlobe,
and hey, you know what? It tastes like chicken. You still liking nature,
you foliage fucker?
Rating: Organic

Warfteiner
"Premium verum." That's what this bottle of this East German
beer says. Here's what that might mean:
1) White power.
2) Down with Jews.
3) If we fought again, you Western fucks, we'd win.
4) Boy, how funny is David Hasselhoff?
5) Dirk Nowitzki is God.
6) Your girlfriend would be much happier with me.
7) We know this is shitty beer, but when you're this busy Heiling, who
has time to brew?
Rating: Germans!

Mike's Hard Iced Tea
Ahh. College. Plastic cups, stamped hands and roofies. This hard little
beverage is for those guys who rocked out to the Doors and Eminem and
the Beastie Boys a little too much. You can hear it coming from their
porches all summer long.
Rating: NO FEAR.

Pete's Wicked Summer Brew
This beah is wicked pissah. It's almost as if the So-ax won the fuckin'
World Series. It's what every beah would taste like if Derek Jeetah got
hit by a cah. It's like a Nomah homah. It's like Fenway Pahk in the summahtime.
Like a day game when the So-ax are wicked good and the homahs are flyin'
outta the pahk like theah's no tomorrow, brothah. Honest to gawd. It's
that wicked pissah. You bettah get some for your next cookout or it's
gonna be fuckin' retahded.
Rating: Pissah.

Saison
Christ. Is this a fashion show? What's with the French stuff? I'm just
trying to drink my beer, get my ol' drunk on, and then "SY-ZON "comes
around. Is there anything more unappealing then a beer that comes off
with this much pretension and then completely shits the bed? If you're
going to get all haughty-taughty on me, then at least give me something
with a flavor. I'd rather be Christopher Reeve's badminton partner than
drink this silly poodle-combing excuse for an alcoholic beverage.
Rating: Pret a Porter

ZIMA
Like affirmative action, Regis Philbin, and other things that have been
around for a surprisingly long time, the Zima still exists. Since this
whole icey-fruity-Spritey-thingee sufaced three years ago, the big "Z"
is not as unappealing as it used to be. Progress. It's summer time! Throw
some burgers on the grill, suck me off, and have some fun.
Rating: Now, Regis! Now!

Cruzan Wazi-Koki
This stuff is great! It serves as an excellent fuel for my moped,
which I use to scoot around town and say hello to all the ladies. Hello
ladies! As a drink, it tastes like Lik-Em-Ade gone stale, and I'd rather
stick it up my dick than drink an entire six pack. Maybe I'd enjoy it
more if I was browner, but hey, it gets my scoot-scoot and all the ladies!
Hello ladies!
Rating: Hello ladies!
