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

Back with more...

WHITE SOX: Bass. A decent choice, but is almost always overlooked by similar, more popular beers/cross town rivals. Seldom picked as a first choice, but a lot of people go with this moreso because they don’t like other options- a good “contrarian” option.

TWINS: Budweiser. Sturdy, dependable. Not flashy, but you know what you’re getting. Ultimate blue collar beer: middle class beer for a middle-class team. People will mock, but tastes/plays better than you think.

TIGERS: Hefeweizen. Another “by default” type-selection, because it is usually good, but seldom great. A beer that needs fruit is like a team that needs the DH—the closest you’ll see to a “performance enhancer” (maybe that was what was on Kenny Rogers' hand in the World Series--lemon zest).

INDIANS: Duff’s. The choice of underachievers. The team is known for ineptitude better than perhaps any other franchise- the Moe Syzlak of MLB. Both have well-known pitchmen, but unlike Chief Wahoo, Duff Man is awesome. Oh, Yeah!

ROYALS: PBR. Kicked around and looked down upon, but nonetheless, a “salt-of-the-earth” type of beer. The locals support KC, and you go to any dive bar, you’ll find PBR, usually on tap.
