Beer

Brad,
She is basically left in full charge of the kids in the evening while he sits downstairs half the night on the computer swigging back rum.

Substitute Vodka for Gin and that was me.


And I don't know why but in AA I met more Gin or Vodka drinkers then anything else by far. And I lost three friends, two of them were very close friends, to the disease. They were in AA and sober but for some reason had not cleared through the wreckage of their lives enough and they all killed themselves.

Beerfest IS a great flick.
I prefer Euro brews.....usually have Heinekin on tap at home but occasionally switchout with Hoffbrau or Paulaner. Have also developed a atesed for an Austrian beer called Spiegl. Good tasing Lager

Molson and all its forms and varities

Many microbreweries in the USA are as good as any beers around the world.

You wish

Heineken isn't beer
Palm is a delicious Belgian beer tho

Being in the NW and being exposed to so many beers from around the world, I would agree wholeheartedly.

Right now my fav is Rouge Ales from Newport, OR.

I do half of this:


and half of this:


to get spicy sweet NorthWest style Black and Tan. Taste much better at the brewery.

I was waiting when where you going to make an entrance here.

Listen...making beer is not nuclear fusion...if you have knowledgeable brewers (with the same ingredients, recipes, equipment, etc...)...you can make the same bloody thing.

America is a land of immigrants from all over the world...we have and make anything just as good.

Yeah...giant breweries like Budweiser and Coors are there to make cheap beer for the masses....and that's probably the types of American beers you have tried.

But I guarantee you...if you go to...for example...to San Francisco' Anchor Steam brewery...you'd be impressed.

Just like I keep saying Mexico is the creator of chocolate...yet you say Belgium makes the world's best chocolate (have you even tasted Mexican chocolate?)...so in turn...you started making beer way earlier than America...but we can't make good beer either...just you?

If Mexico started with chocolate...and Belgium improved it...then why not America can do the same with beer?

I'm sorry...but you are just going by our cheap imported bottled beers...but you have not tried our really good micro-breweries (which most are not even imported)...and guess what...we have a bunch of really good chocolate-makers...many of them having learned the art in Belgium and other countries (or they immigrated here).

My two cents.

Exactly.

Never been to Belgium (my sister has, she lived right next door in France for a couple of years, but she's not a beer drinker...so she couldn't tell me, lol)...but I did go to England, Ireland, and Germany way back in the early 90s...and yes...their beers were awesome...but our really good micro-breweries are just as good...I really did not see any beer superiority over the others...all of them were just excellent beers, period.

It's true, and there's a good reason for it. An Englishman came over here to "New England"...and taught all these Micro-Breweries the proper way to make Beer.

Guinness draught. I keep trying other brews, but I always go back to Guinness.

[Adam West]

It's really too bad that some out of this world microbrew beer can not be sampled by those outside the country much less many parts of the U.S. I'll go back to Dogfish which is my favorite local beer. They can not keep up with demand and they have high quality standards so much of the country doesn't have access to it or very limited access. Most of it is unpasteurized. It also does not adhere to the strict German laws regarding the only ingredients that can go into beer and be called such and probably disallowed to be imported if they had the ability. There is a really good documentary called "Beer Wars"...if you have Netflix on the internet...it is there and I highly recommend it. I have seen some of the other brews mentioned in local stores and will give them a try.
