If a Bill Were a Beer

As an aside to the exciting draft speculation and tabulation, would you like to play an analogy game? (You must be 21 or older to continue.) I have paired some of my favorite Bills with a beer which he has something in common. Since a game like this relies on personal taste, I won't take it personally if you disagree.
I must give credit to Blazers Edge for this idea.
Fred Jackson Samuel Adams Boston Lager
Nationaly recognised name, and many people agree the quality is often worth the price.
Marshawn Lynch Colt 45
Hits you "stupid fast" and hard.
Chris Kelsay Michelobe Ultra
"But I thought I ordered a beer!"
Terrence McGee Labatt Blue
Good old standby, and once and a while, you don't want anything more.
Terrel Owens Chimay Trappist
An expensive, refined drink, which causes euphoric reactions in some. It also is very likely to cause a major headache.
Trent Edwards Your latest homebrew
Ever since that great batch back in the eighties, you have been trying to perfect the recipe. There have been some bad ones lately, but this last one is almost fully fermented, and you feel subtle excitement about the results. You do like the early samples you have been opening.
Arron Schobel 2003 Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout
Waaayyy back behind the old pickle jars, you find a bottle of beer you bought a long time ago. Good bottle, but you have to wonder how well Oatmeal Stout ages...
James Hardy 24oz Can Coors Banquet Beer
What could be better than a 'Banquet Beer?' Just the name makes you forget the questionable flavor.
Leodis McKelvin MGD Bottle
#11 pick in last years Genuine Draft! Ha! ...just a play on words. Kinda weak, I know.
Paul Pozluszny Budweiser American Ale
Both the true beer drinkers and fathful Bud drinkers couldn't wrap thier minds around this at first, but the beer is better than most in its market.
Marcus Stroud Guinness Stout
Thuper thick. Super sick, as in, so good you bought a keg for your kegerator. (That's a lot of $$)
Donte Whitner Heineken
Lot's of hype, little taste. Sure it's better than 60% of what's offered at any given bar, but more and more I notice the taste is disappointing.
Ashton Youboty Shiner Bock
I rarley see this beer on the shelves, but it has always been smooth and delicious.
Mike Jefferson Bozone Select Amber Ale
You probably don't know either of these names, and probably won't. Jefferson is a WR that went to my school in Bozeman. Select Amber is very good, by the way.
An x-Bill LT Harvest Moon Pigs Ass Porter
Pigs Ass is one of the the best porters avalible in America.

Reggie Corner- Koch’s Golden Anniversary Beer
No one would have ever heard of them if they didn’t have overly-appropriate names for their trades.
Kawika Mitchell- Kona Dry Side Stout
The first is a stout hawaiian american (i think he’s hawaiian?) and the second is a hawaiian american stout.
Demetrius Bell- Stone Arrogant Bastard
They are both bastards. Sorry, maybe that was crossing the line…

I like Arrogant Bastard Ale...
but maybe it’s crossing the line…. maybe

Wait, that’s an actual beer? Dude I have to get a hold of that stuff.

yup...

It is a very complex beer. It is not for people who like Genny light or Natty ice. :-) That’s why it’s completely arrogant.

Ryan Neil- Arbor Brewing Super Snapper VSB
No explanation needed, but I guess its debatable.

Roscoe Parrish – Harvest Moon (from Blue Moon): Good beer that comes around once a year
Terrence McGee – Yuengling: A somewhat cheap, quality and underappreciated beer
Chris Kelsay – Corona: Overpriced and crappy, needs plenty of help (a lime) in order to be effective

All three of these are great descriptions of those beers and fit very well with those players.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Goes down smooth, but leaves you with the Runs the next day…….. and some terrible GAS!!!

Doug Flutie (yeah I know it’s going a while back) – Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale
A tresure in Canada, but goes mostly unknown and ignored in the US.

Upper Canada: Rebellion Lager is one of Canada’s hidden gems.

Robert Royal – Natural Ice (Natty Ice).. Really puts a bad taste in your mouth and you can’t wait until its gone

Oh lord I drank a ton of that my first year in college, I graduated to Rolling Rock real quick
If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.

Rolling Rock, hahahaha
Yea, i remember that stuff…….. when the Bar ran out of Michelobe, they offered us Rolling Rock at half price. What a hang over the next day. So if i had to put Rolling Rock to a person, it would be Jason Peters………. thinks it’s a high priced beer and still leaves you with a massive hang over!!!!

Duke Preston/Melvin Fowler – Miller Lite
The one your having now tastes like toilet water, everyone you’ve ever had has tasted like toilet water, and everyone you ever will have will taste like toilet water.
Luckily you don’t plan on having one again any time soon as you’ve just purchased a Bud Light (Hangartner) so you know what you’re getting and its never done you wrong.
But even better, you’re eyeing a Molson Golden (Alex Mack!) as your next round! (get it? get it?)

It’s a great beer. I love just about everything Molson.

Dude....
Miller Light is just Bud Light with a twist of urine in it.

Bells Two Hearted Ale- John Wendling
Has some pretty nice hops but isnt all that great (actually its a pretty damn good beer, but I had to dumb it down a bit to fit).

Hmmm, who would Stroh's be?
I would have to go with Kevin Williams, you don’t really notice it at first taste, but by the next morning you really remember it hitting you.
If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.

Kevin Williams?
The crappy little punt returner from the late 90’s that we had? The Vikings’ Kevin Williams? Someone else? Kyle Williams?

Man, i was trying to think of a beer for his greatness, but, i could only come up with a Boilermaker………… the combination of beer and whiskey hits you so hard, you find yourself passed out in the wilderness, in your car the next morning. The hangover the next morning leaves you thinking that a tractor trailer just hit you.

Like any fine wine or champain, tastes good going down. The first time you drink a glass of it, Leaves you thnking , “how can this stuff make you drunk?”, so you have another, and another, and another till your laying in the bed that night with bed spins thinking, “I WILL NOT UNDERESTIMATE THAT STUFF AGAIN”.
