Ok, so if you are growing tired of this, I promise we'll have some NBA stuff up later today. But in the meantime, here is part five of the team-beer pairings...
NL CENTRAL
CUBS: Old Style. What else? Not nearly as good as its/their fans would have you believe, but tradition makes it a popular choice. Team hasn't won a title in over 100 years-- have to believe its been at least that long since Old Style won any taste contests...
CARDINALS: Stella. Uber popular, both among people that know beer and the casual fan. Very common default selection—most fans don’t know why they are a fan per se, but if the beer is on tap (or the game on in HD), they’ll stick and stay.
BREWERS: Coors Light. Overall not that good, but on occasion can come through. On a hot day, refreshing (because it tastes like water). Come bar time, though, won’t stand up to the pressure, and will fizzle. Essentially can’t come through in the clutch, when you need a “go-to” beer.
ASTROS: Malt liquor. Fitting, considering the team used to called the Houston Colt 45s. Powerful, no doubt, but not many order this in public. Much like the 1980s jerseys, best covered up by a brown paper bag.
REDS: Cider. Had a nice run at the beginning, but purists roll their eyes at this one (Great American Ballpark is ridiculous). Neither can be taken too seriously-- Dusty Baker is the Pear Cider of managers: seems like a good idea at the time, but you’ll be snake-bitten before too long.
PIRATES: Zima. Laughably bad since 1993. Here’s a tidbit for you: the Buccos haven’t had a winning season since the year Zima was introduced. Coincidence? I think not!
