I've drank a lot of that Heinekin dark as well and agree with you. Not too heavy. Only place to get it here, though, is the liquer stores since it's higher alc. % than the 3.2 the stores are allowed to sell here. It's about $8.50 for just a 6-pack here, so my tastes wandered elsewhere.

I didn't think 3.2% existed any more, unless you drink Miller Lite.
I had no idea!

Geeze, I do recall the days of 3.2% beer and 6% beer. Of course, in those days anything over 3.2% was marketed and considered 6%, so 3.5% was sold as 6%. But in those days, around here anyway, you could buy 3.2% at 18 but had to be 21 for 6%. By the time I was 18, the law had gone to 19 to drink beer. I was also unaware that anyoen still made a 3.2% beer. Of course, these days, to get the federal money for road improvements, Ohio has gone to 21 to drink alchohol period.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

I don't deny it, that first night there at IH I got kinda wobbly and had to head to the tent.
When I lived in Texas I was used to it but I've become a bit soft in that area.Greg

We used to call 3.2 beer, Training beer. I wonder if the alcohol percentage is different than here in Canada as Rainier is only 5% here, as are most of our beers, unless you get the strong version which is usually about 6.6%. That is of course not counting any specialty beers, just the normal every day Bud type beers.2-79 XS1100 SF

Hmmm...
I can't get either of those links to work.. either by clicking or copying and pasting. (And yes, I took the arrows off the beginning and end.)
I will have to try the Sam Adams Utopia though. I think Nate should also. In a Utopian world, one would never dump their bike in a parking lot in front of the cops. Or in front of people that would give him crap about it from now on...Last edited by trbig; 10-13-2012, 08:04 AM.Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

I went to a big liquer store yesterday that sells many different kinds of beer. I asked about the Sam Adams Utopia and he said that there were a total of FOUR bottles shipped to Oklahoma last year, and that they went for over $100 a bottle?Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.
