While combing the aisles of Jewel for Father's Day related BBQ foodstuffs, I stumbled upon a sixer of Miller Chill. By all accounts it should have been terrible. It wasn't. It isn't 'real beer' by any stretch of the imagination, but they certainly went down easy while playing 'cornhole' on a 90 degree day The deal breaker is that it'll probably never be popular enough to warrant cost efficient multi unit packs anytime soon though (Long live the High Life Lite 30 pack! Yes, I am WT thank you very much). I'm sure it's not too long before Chill goes the way of 'Miller Red'. Shit beers (Natural Light, Beast, Mister Brau) aside, Miller Red and Molson Ice were my college beers of choice. Alas, Molson Ice, like most (all?) ice beers has gone the way of the Dodo as well.

- I've got no beef with Amazon.com. They're got a huge selection, free shipping on orders $25+ and have good customer service. Likewise, I've never had a problem with Newegg.com. They're also have a huge (if more vertical) selection and have great customer service. Prior to our trip, I wanted to pick up a bigger CF card for The Girls prehistoric digital camera (mine predates the mesozic era). I went to Amazon and got this page. How the fuck are you supposed to compare products with that kind of layout. Compare it to Newegg's deep search options and it's wonder that Amazon sells anything at all.
