freeflytim 0 #1 February 2, 2002 I nominate Clay for making a list of the acceptable beers to make good on the ‘YOU owe BEER’ rules. Things to consider... no ‘cans’ is an easy rule, but, it is not necessarily an ‘all encompassing’ thing. A case of Boddingtons- (in the cans with the co2 cartridge) will do quite nicely... BUT, a case of Bud will not. But, Bud will honestly work....IF, and only IF, the person owing case LIKES Bud in a can, AND will drink it... But this person must also bring a 12 of an ‘acceptable’ beer. Whatever the ‘acceptable’ beers are.You get the idea. So, DZ dot com, help Clay help us all by coming up with the acceptable beer list, disclaimers and all.-TIMand, after this, we can come up with 2002 Beer Rules.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 February 2, 2002 Tim, you are confused as to the beer rules. Only a yuppified human being would dictate that "fancy" beer is the only choice. Down here in the south, we drink plenty of canned beer. I personally don't drink Budweiser anymore, but plenty of my buddies do. To reiterate my choices from the epic "beer of choice" thread: Rolling Rock when I want to drink to get drunk; and Coors light or Bud light or Miller light any other time. Around here we enforce the hell out of beer rules, therefore it is not prudent to dictate that these penniless students spend all their jump money on foofy beer. Hell, as much as we drink, it all tastes the same anyway. Chuck BlueD-12501My webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #3 February 2, 2002 I agree with Chuck. Cheap beer in cans is fine with me, better beer in green bottles is also fine with me. Free beer is free beer!I'd have been up the creek if your rules had been in effect when I was a new skydiver... I could barely afford to jump period; being told to buy expensive beer would have sent me off looking for another sport.pull and flare,lisa--What would Scooby Doo?

Jumperpaula 0 #12 February 2, 2002 Quote Im NOT a snob. Im NOT a yuppie. Im a SKYDIVER. I am a snob, I am a Yuppie and I am a Skydiver. I love beer, but, I don't drink draft beer, ever. I don't drink cans or domestic unless I have to. Ill drink anything (accept Coors) the student chooses to bring. Then I go buy my own damn good beer. Try bringing a 12 pack of Corona or Hein to the DZ and see how many you get to drink. But for Students, whatever is fine. I understand they #1) can't afford good beer and #2) need to save the money for the next jump. It's all good. Fly Your Slot ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrose7 0 #14 February 2, 2002 I just must be at a really small dz, people bring beer, but the beer rules are not enforced--by any means. I think the rules were only mentioned to me once. Basically, the owners keep beer and otherwise people just bring some in. I think I would like to do something about that. The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP.

scottbre 0 #15 February 2, 2002 QuoteSo, DZ dot com, help Clay help us all by coming up with the acceptable beer list, disclaimers and all.Picky, picky. If it's free beer you don't get the luxury of being a beer snob. Haven't you ever heard "beggars can't be choosers."? Besides I doubt anyone would bring a beer that they themselves aren't willing to drink. "Let the rabbits wear glasses. . . " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
