There are two types of men in this world. First, there is the what-you-see-is-what-you-get type, the man who drinks his vodka cranberry with two straws and wears his heart on his sleeve. With this man, there are no surprises or death-defying stunts. It's a boring, yet normal, existence. The second type is a man who lives so boldly that his friends print shirts about him and tell all his stories as their own. This man fears little and needs something more in his cocktail. Luckily, there are a number of oddly made spirits that can satisfy such a thirst for life. So be bold and like man number two, and find the oddly made ...

Remember when the U.S. government was setting off nuclear bombs in New Mexico in the 1950s? Me neither, but it happened. It was called Operation Teapot, and documents uncovered last month reveal it had less to do with tea and more to do with beer. Part of the experiments included placing cans and bottles of beer at various distances from the blast site to see if they would be drinkable during the apocalypse. In the worst-ever game of "Not it!" some poor civil servant had to taste the samples and assess their drinkability. Turns out they were actually tasty, or at least, not deadly. Still, when the nukes start flying, we want a hardcore beer to calm our nerves. Enter Scotland's Brew Dog, ...
I'm going to start this off by saying, no, I'm not a scientist. I don't have reams of data or beakers full of beer samples to back up the Tap Beer vs Bottled Beer Theory I am proposing. But what I am is a guy who likes to go to bars and drink beer. I've been doing it for years. About 16 years to be exact (I'm 37.) And over time I have noticed that there is almost no upside to drinking tap beer (even though it's cheaper). I opt for bottled beer every time. And here's why.
