BEER OF THE GAME

Whether you call 'em the Red Storm or the Redmen, there's only one choice for beer tonight: the old, dependable Leinie's Red. Some may tell you this beer is underwhelming. These people are dumb and should be forced to drink Busch Light for the rest of their lives.

Enjoy the game, and bring me home a winner.
