It would be fine without the tomato, lettuce, and onion rings. Doesn't make any sense to add those.

...so it begins... the great halforum onion ring war of 2009.

MY BROTHERS RALLY TO ME!

Sons of BurgerKing! Of Carl's Jr.! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of eating burgers topped with delicious onion rings fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Fast Food comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth and the consumption of delicious burgers, I bid you stand, Men of Arby's!

Let's separate the two components of onion rings (not that hard to do physically, that's for sure). How would you like hot onions (yummy) on your burger along with deep-fried flour (wtf)? It's like getting a burger with onions then stopping off at Long John Silvers to add some of those crispy fuckers they sit your food on (I assume they still do that).

I'm not buying it. Hell, I'm not taking it for free with soft drink purchase. :tongue:

Well, I took the plunge. I even printed two and pulled off the perfect crime using one inside and one in the drivethru, since I was meeting my wife for lunch. In the name of science I got the onion ringed bastard. Fairly disappointing. Way too much crappy BBQ sauce. Never did notice the onion rings, so the jury is still out on that (though I'm still leaning toward "fuck that noise"). They either over-cooked the roast beef to make it more "burgery" or that's just how Arby's beef is now. The bun was pretty good, I'll admit, and I wouldn't object to getting a decent burger on it at a real restaurant.

Also, getting the two drinks for the deal plus a large fries to split (which sucked, BTW) cost about $4.50. For that, I could have gotten a two-pack of burritos at Trader Joe's, a couple bananas, and a bag of chips. Which is a far superior quick lunch for two (though you have to *gasp* heat up the burritos yourself).

So although I'm usually "that guy" who abuses this kind of coupon, I won't be taking them up on it again. And probably won't go near an Arby's unless dying of hunger.

Lemon makes piss poor beer taste palatable

Frosty mugs because most light pilsners taste good that way (Budweiser), so almost universally all restaurants assume ALL beer is good ice cold.

Bud hardly qualifies as beer. As for breaking into the beer world, my anecdotal evidence suggests that hops are the main barrier to entry, so avoid hoppy styles (pale ale, IPA, some German lagers, etc.) at first. On the lighter side, hefeweizen (cloudy wheat beer) and witbier (Belgian white ale, like Hoegaarden) are kind to beginners. Dark beer might seem a little daunting, but beers like Guinness are actually lighter than most pale ales. Stouts can be a little roasty and bitter at first, though. A nice strong scotch ale like McEwans might be a good bet.

Yo, seconding this. Really, avoid American lagers in general. My preferred relaxing beers are usually amber ales, but you really should explore a lot of different types to find what you like, slowly breaking into hoppier beers.

For the record, I don't think Guinness is bad, per se. It's just that there are plenty of American stouts that kick its ass. Like any ubiquitous beer, it's been neutered to appeal to the broadest audience possible. If you think it's the bees' knees, try something like Avery's "The Czar" Imperial Russian Stout and prepare to come face to face with God.

Also, I just wanted to bump a beer thread.

I tried it on Saturday and I thought it was decent. I didn't think it was the best thing ever and I won't be going out of my buy it I thought it was still decent.

Why do they get to call it a burger?

That's a roast beef sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and bacon... and an onion ring?

For the record, I don't think Guinness is bad, per se. It's just that there are plenty of American stouts that kick its ass.

Examples? I want to do some drunken research.

New Glaurus Makes a good stout.

Indeed. You can only get it in Wisconsin, though (luckily my brother drives through there on his way to family gatherings). Rogue "Shakepeare Stout" is awesome, Bell's makes several great stouts, any number of microbreweries, really. Even Sierra Nevada Stout, which you can probably find at the grocery store, beats Guinness.

Just did the empire brew fest this past weekend. Lots of beers and good times had by all!

Since Sam Adams uses two-row barley like most European lagers, does it still count as "American beer"?

(most of the big US brewers use six-row barley, which is also why they end up using rice and corn as adjuncts)

Most small American breweries use two-row. And you have it a little backwards. The mega-brews use six-row because they use cheaper adjuncts like corn and rice. The six-row has higher protein (enzyme) content, which is needed to break down the adjunct starches.

Of course, six-row is really cattle feed and shouldn't be used in beer, but mega-brew is barely beer anyway.

I just had a double chocolate stout from Young's that was pretty tasty. Really smooth. Stone Ruination, too, hoppy but I love it.
