"Dan gets booze" sound like the three most dangerous words you can ever put together.

Giant Bomb, you need to take Dan on a California road trip. You have the anti-Huell-Howser on your hands, do not let it go to waste.

Oh please, if beer didn't contain alcohol, no one would drink it. Beer is not refreshing, it isn't good...but you've been brainwashed into thinking you HAVE to love beer, because MAN!!! If beer didn't fuck you up, no one would talk about beer....ever.....

I think people are circling back around to doing stuff like growing beards and drinking PBR unironically.

I get the feeling that a lot of great beer was just wasted. Hopefully it'll get Dan to expand his beer palette though.

No, that would be "Dan drinks booze".

Give me a double IPA any day. Too bad not everyone can enjoy the fantastic craft beers. If you don't like hops no problem, there are so many different beers you can try instead.

Some people like beer and some people don't? Get right out of town!

Not all of us drink, or talk about, beer because it gets you fucked up. Some people like the taste.
