Friday Beer Post: Gameday Beer-o-the-week - Oklahoma Edition

Each week throughout the football season I'm going to suggest a good beer for the ubiquitous pre-game tailgate. Let's be honest, with tailgates it's not always top quality that you're looking for. To steal a phrase from the heinous beer terrorists at Budweiser, you want "drinkability." (or what a real beer connoisseur calls "a session beer") So, be warned, these may not be "the best" beers around. But, in the words of Dave Chappelle as Samuel L. Jackson "IT'LL GET YOU DRUNK!"

Oklahoma is a little difficult because, like many states in the Big XII, they don't have a strong state-wide brewing culture. As a result, I've had to once again dig deep for a beer. Of course, next year I won't have this problem; With brew-crazy states like California, Oregon and Washington on the schedule, coming up with a gameday beer will not prove difficult. Anyways, this week marked the 5th Anniversary of the 2005 White Sox World Championship. To honor them, this week's gameday beer-o-the-week is none other than the beer of champions: Miller Lite.

(For some reason I'm really craving a Miller Lite right now....)

It's Miller Time, baby! Boo and hiss all you want, this week is going to be tough to watch. Come half time you're going to want to be appropriately inebriated; at that point are you really going to care what your beer tasted like? Brewed like every other watered down American-style light beer, Miller Lite is absolutely indistinguishable from it's beer category cousins. They can talk triple-hopped till they are blue in the face; the beer is just not that good. But it is the official beer of the '05 White Sox, and for that I salute them! Go Sox!

Happy Friday! Go Buffs, Beat OU!
