At the store. j/k
Now all the young bucks are drinking it because it comes with a cool new box and can design as mentioned above. You couldn't pay a younger generation fellow to drink it! Pretty Stout stuff!!!

HAHA, I was fishing once on Champlain and I came across a guy who was jigging.  I asked him if he had any luck and he showed me some perch he had in his pail...then he said he had a few "snow perch" ... Snow perch? I asked...he looked around then unburied a couple fish he had in the snow...I said: those are bass!  He said he buried them in the snow in case an ENCON officer came, since bass are illegal to take in the winter!!!  That's why he called them snow perch...I thought that was pretty funny and I think I've heard others make the reference as well...so, I now call iced bass snow perch! Except, I release them

speaking of bass, those perch fillets look like bass fillets, just tastier looking!
