have you ever been face to face with an actual beer?

Meaning a non-American beer?

Maybe it's my non-discerning palate, but it tastes like flat Budweiser to me.

"Old man beer".

Kinda like PBR here in the States.

O'Keefe Ale
O'Keefe Extra Old Stock (aka "Extra Old Sock")--which is actually a malt liquor, IIRC
Labatt's Fifty
Labatt's Blue
Molson Ale
Molson Golden
Carlsberg Double Diamond

Most military establishments and Legions only carry Blue and Golden (and the "light" versions). I think O'Keefe is out of business --thank god-- (or absorbed into either Molson or Labatt).


Cool, hip Canadian beer (major breweries):

Labatt Extra Dry
Black Label
Molson Canadian/Canadian Ice
Molson Rickard's
Sleeman


I really should get HEyHEY into this conversation. And Enigmatic. And GiC.

I'm a bit rusty in beer talk. I actually like PBR (which is no longer available here). It's the Frank Booth in me.

I grew up smelling the brewery.

some fresh-ground pepper on top.

:9

Not only is it Ireland's Oldest Ale, but it's super yummy.

excellent Beer. made by guiness i believe..Another great beer also

I'm surprised you didn't make a comment about the fresh ground pepper. Everyone always freaks out when they see that, but then they try it and realize it's good. We call it "The Colonel" at the bar I frequent.

Next time I have one I will try that

and I just so happen to have a pepper grinder

I've drank my fair share of Spaten.

In other words it's f**king close to water!

I'm the resident Campaign for real Ale member round here, and shall be at the Great British Beer Festival in Earl's Court next week.

America does make good beer they just dont mass market it.
rednecks dont have very good tastebuds

A country that is drinking 80 percent of its beer as light lagers made from one of three breweries is in need of a little upheaval.

Amen

Give us a full report when its over.

duh

Got about 30 gallons in the basement right now. 15 in kegs chilling in the fridge, 5 just bottled and 10 waiting for a free keg.

... a Kirin Ichiban :)

And of course...

I'm addicted to it!

Drink about half the Tecate, pour V8 in bottle with remaining beer, drink the rest! :9 :beer:

:rofl: (Great thread!! Recommended!!!)

That's like vegimite and water

My fave beer ever is Expedition Stout out of Bell's in Kalamazoo. And I've had Ayinger, yer Belgians--a world tour of booze I tell you!
