To everyone who’s brave enough to continue grilling through this heat wave, let me remind you:
These are the exact conditions for which our best scientists created the tall boy.
Don’t let their hard work and sacrifice go to waste.
Let us not forget the highest culinary contribution of our Mediterranean friends: gazpacho. Not a comical, dainty nothing, but a hearty meal unto itself, perfect for the days when you can barely lift a cool glass to your lips.
Years ago, I referred to a 22 oz beer as a "tallboy". A buddy of mine who has a genuine way with words corrected me.
He said tall boys are 16 oz. "What you're dealing with there is a worker."
I don't know where he got it from, but it's what I call the truly big boys now.
