Support Your Team-- Drink This Beer (AL East)

So as I alluded to in the previous post, often times certain teams remind you of certain beers. It can be the taste of the beer, the class of the beer, or just the qualities of the people that drink the beer. Regardless, let's break this down into divisions. We begin with the American League East.


RED SOX: Heineken. Certainly very popular, and very common. But how many times do you actually want to order a Heineken? Furthermore, the people that drink those beers tend to be obnoxious-- not loud, but a little too smug. But the sheer number of fans pushes the popularity to the top.

YANKEES: Guinness. Thinks they are god's gift to beer, and thumb their noses at any one else. Yanks have a monstrous payroll, and Guinness barely ever goes on sale at Ralph's. Furthermore, the first one may taste fine, but by the third Guinness, you just want it to go away...

RAYS: Michelob. Not appreciated very much, but nonetheless a quality product. Not a lot of fan fare behind it, but every once and a while you get a pitcher and wonder why you don’t drink it more often.

BLUE JAYS: Carlsberg. Good enough to be worth more consideration, but overlooked by other beers/teams from the same area. Arguably one of the best beer/teams you've never seen.

ORIOLES: Coors. The beer is seemingly doomed to failure, and won’t get ordered very often. Big name, and a lot of money behind it, but no matter how the beer gets marketed or who the team signs, it never seems to measure up.
