Beer and Comics

[ChadH]

Been a while. New baby takes up so much time and attention, so I haven't had much time to enjoy comics and beer together, but last night I had a nice pairing of Pyramid Irish Red Ale and Identity Crisis.

What are your opinions of these two Pud?

the Irish Red Ale is probably one of Pyramid's better beers. In general, I don't find anything special about Pyramid beers. They're cheap at Costco but decent enough to have sitting in my beer fridge as a day to day beer. Especially for friends of mine who are only used to Bud or Kokanee who don't like super flavourful beer, but don't mind Pyramid. My fiance hates really hoppy beer but she likes Pyramid.

As for Identity Crisis, this is my third time reading it through. The first time was a few years ago when I was just getting back into comics. I really enjoyed it then, but I don't think it holds up as well having just read it again now. I guess in my mind I overrated it, but I've read so much better stories since then. Still good though. Just not as great as I once thought.

We've recently begun to see a few Pyramid beers in my area (NW Iowa). I haven't gotten around to them yet, but likely will soon. I have been to Pyramid's brewpub in Seattle and left with the same opinion as your own. Not bad. Not great - but not bad.

Oh my gosh... this is the nerdiest fucking thread. If I wasn't so fucking wasted, I would have so much fun in this thread!

Wasted on what? Any beers in particular?

Vodka, but not the fun marshmallow kind. Just the regular kind.

I'm also reading an online comic book, so I don't think I fucking qualify.

I had just got back from Seattle, which is why I had all that Pyramid. I should have just gotten some Deschutes instead, haha.

The 2 do work well together, but I am perfectly fine DRINKING a beer and THINKING about a comic.

Beer and comics fit perfectly into the one, the other, both or neither categories. Well, I'm not crazy about neither, but I can live with it if I have to.
