"Dude, you've been red dogged by that guy!" It is akin to a curse at home and being accused of red dogging is akin to calling a Union man a scab. NO ONE back home drank that stuff. It was just not cool to do so. This may have played a small part in why it never took off in some parts of the country. Poor research by the company. Oh well!
Well, 'phant, the world is larger than Mississippi...

Man, those boys must have been good, seeing as they channeled all that sexual energy into their beer production.

One of our regional micro brews had a "Santa's Little Helper" beer this year that was a decent winter ale. I like the Santa's Butt picture, tho!
And better yet, one of our marching band (The One More Time Marching Band) sax players made a summer brew that she had debut after a July parade that she called "One More Beer" that was really good.

I usually buy our local micro's stuff at the store to have at home (Sudwerk's), and usually have Sierra Nevada or anchor steam when out. (both are quasi local to me).
I'm of the 'support your local craftsman' type of consumer generally.
It is amazing to me how a beer that I would otherwise consider bongwater improves on a hot summer day when it is cold enough to almost turn to ice. That's about a half hour in a home freezer. When coupled with a frozen pint glass, heavenly.

They are all over my college mug from Bernie's Bagels on High St., across from Weigel Hall, in Columbus!
Ha!
Bernie's Bagels is famous for its "Beer Challenge" which culminates with a Celebrator.
The Beer Challenge is if you drank something like 200 beers, upon completion you'd get a mug with your name on it and your name on a small plate on the wall engraved with your name.
After finishing your Celebrator, you took the little plastic goat and saved it to tie to your mug when you finished the challenge. Each time you finished the challenge again you'd hang another goat from your mug.
