The old joke: Why is American beer like making love in a canoe?

It's fucking close to water.

Not a beer drinker, but I do love a good margarita (1800 or Padron) on the rocks, no salt, with Mexican food or burgers; otherwise, a Grey Goose and tonic or Appletini. For wine, if I'm going to splurge...Saintsbury Reserve Pinot Noir. Fortunately I do like cheaper Pinots, as well as a wide variety of other wines. But that's the favorite right now.

Rumtiger...

When it's cold, or I have a cold, I take equal parts Grape Juice/Lambrusco (say 1 cup to 1 cup), heat that up with a cinnamon stick -- not to boiling just warm it up, and add a shot or two of gold rum to it. It's really good... I learned this in Germany when I got Bronchitis there once in the winter.

I know other people put more spices in it, but, I like it simple like that.

Just thought I'd share

add an orange peel and cut the grape juice and you got a pretty good cold remedy as well.

I very rarely drink anymore. Perhaps a glass of Lambrusco with dinner occassionally. Never been a beer drinker but I'll have a rare Humbolt Hemp or Leinenkugel (when I can find it here on the coast). I'm more likely to have a port or sherry or a brandy after a great dinner. I tend to cook with more alcohol than I drink. A great vanilla port sauce for icecream, wine reduction for a nice steak, even brats simmered in beer and onions for game day.

-I'm drinking a Yuengling right now. I also like about ahy wheat beer. Smithwicks is really good too. I recently tried Youngs chocolate stout. It was excellent. I also love hard cider. K brand from England is my favorite. Anything in a frosted mug tastes 2 times as good.

I'm not a fan of lagers at all. The likes of Stella, Heineken etc (known here as lagers rather than beers) are like piss i.e. water, gas and flavouring. Nor am I a wine, alcopops or spirits drinker. Having said that the Czechs do half decent lagers e.g. staropramen (more royal piss than peasant piss but still not fit to tie the shoelaces of British ales).

We have a right old selection of real ales over here. My current favourite is Flat Cap, brewed by Bank Top brewery in Bolton. Also, like Landlord, Champion and loads of others. For those interested in real ale, here's a link to British beer festivals where you can sample anything upto 450 ales over a few days. I've been to a fair few in the North - you get some weIrd and wonderful ales that are sold only in the village they are brewed and at festivals (none of this mass produced bollocks).

Gent....

I guess this your way of saying Stella is ''balless'' and you like something with a little more ''juice'' and character

- R

UR, there are some things that are best left to the the village and untouched by commercialisation. One is ale, another is cheese. I suppose I'm a conservative in this area. I'm all for diversity and embracing difference but, when it comes to beer, we need to control our borders and keep the continental Europeans' shite lager away from the shores of this green and beautiful island. Honestly, they do not have the first clue when it comes to beer. The Czechs do a reasonable dark ale but it's harsh and lacks the subtlety of British ales - the rest of 'em - jokers.

Not sure what "shifting" means....English please...lol.
Dude I hate to say this but your little island is way at the bottom of the beer curve of late....You should check out ratebeer.com...boring site...beer geeks love it!...If you love way the fucked up hopped up beers like I.P.A's whoooohooo! or Big Ass Stouts! You should get ahold of some beers now being put out...(usually average 7-12%alcohol).

Domiguy would be willing to extend an olive branch across the ocean...perhaps send out a few bottles...

Take care.

There are a few(very few) breweries in Europe that are pushing the edge of the envelope....Seek them out.

Shifting = selling.

Domiguy, I'm open to ideas, but first you need to explain how you've drawn the conclusion that "your little island is way at the bottom of the beer curve of late". Have you sampled the thousands upon thousands of ales that are brewed in villages all over England and sold only in those villages? Fuckin' upstarts you lot over there, you pull a few ales together and suddenly think you're the lords of ale

.......we've been doing this shit long before you lot were the spunk of your British ancestors. Thousands of years of experience. Come over to a British beer festival and then make a judgement.

and I'm not talking the Munich type festival which the Germans do i.e the daytrippers convention for clowns.

British beer festivals are laid on for genuine beer lovers. Hence, they ensure the beer is of the highest quality.

Thank you for the information. I will try it next time.
As far as thanking you: go down to Wabash, you know....way down there...head to a place called Buddy Guys (hopefully it's still there) a great blues place. Sit down, order a beer......close your eyes and feel the wind of and from the music. There's your blow.

happy friday!
~smilezz~

OT: Funny you should say that. Buddy Guy announced two weeks ago that he is closing his club (which is called "Legends", but is pretty well known by his name). He got kicked out by his landlord, ironically, the respected arts and music college, Columbia College.

Yep. That's true. But the problem is that you guys haven't changed the recipes since my great great great great great great grandpappy Domiguy hid in the woods and took pot shots at your distant relatives.

Anywhooo...Go on Ratebeer.com...It's a Danish site...very boring but informative....We upstarts, roughly about fifteen years ago, took your tired old recipes and gave them a kick in the box. Many of the Brits consider these American upstarts to be "hop heads"...However one taste of Three Floyd's Alpha King I.P.A and you will swim the ocean in lieu of drinking Sam Smith, Theakstons,Bass, Fullers or Newcastle....Good brews all....just don't stand up anymore...Loved 'em all but had to let them go for better tail. Also the Stouts are out of this fucking world!!!!

I am willing to send you a nice "sampler' so that you can admit that you erred...Well?
