Beer

[Scott Mac.]

After a Beer Festival in London, all the brewery presidents decided to
go out for a beer.

Corona's president sits down and says, "Señor, I would like the
world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender takes a bottle from the
shelf and gives it to him.

Then Budweiser's president says, "I'd like the best beer in the world,
give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him
one.

Coors' president says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, the only
one made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets
it.

The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The other
brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking
a Guinness?" and the Guinness president replies, "Well, if you guys
aren't drinking beer, neither will I."

We have a place here that has huge selections of Belgian beer (for those not knowing Belgium has the most brands of beer in the world and are considered as the best) so I drink many kinds, depends on what mood Im in or if its as a refreshement or as an after dinner beer with a good cigar (Le Trappe Quadruple 12%[4 times fermented]). They have some Belgian beers with 14% alcohol and cost more than a bottle of good wine..plus they can be aged...sh!t wish I had some right now!

[Kejtar]

lol.... actually English language is limited in my opinion in regards to the word beer.... at 14% I'd call it something different which has no translation to English... heck growing up here I actually forgot most of the names/types :( :(

Btw, have you ever had Czech beer? ohhhhhhhhh their microbrewery stuff is to die for!

I try to taste all beers, that I can recall I have had czech, portuguese, brasilian, spanish (spain), british, irish, austrian, german, japanese, chinese, mexican, italian, dutch, jamaican, of course american..and I know I am missing a few others, Netherlands maybe. Wheat or white beers are my favorite, there are actually some very good ones being made here now, just as tasty as some of the Belgians.

Yeah there are some good local micro brews around here, gotta try Concorde Brewers Rapscallion line of beer or thier odd Grape Ale. It is different but good stuff. Concorde (http://www.concordbrew.com/)

[bgcntry72]

When I lived in Oregon I got hooked on 'Dead guy Ale' by Rogue Brewing. Good stuff if ya can find it.

Alcoholics go to classes.

[GSequoia]

I don't need classes...I'm already good at it!

[Karlm]

I tell you what, the biggest mistake of my life was moving from my house 5 blocks from the Sierra Nevada Brewery. Yeah I'm only accross town now, but the walk is so much longer.:D:D:D

[woody]

LOL Sierra Nevada IS good! I am fond of the Pale Ale.

LOL I got a keg of Bass Ale for our wedding reception...only about 15 of us were 'real' drinkers...so we stayed in 'Arthur' status for a while. Remember when it 'floated' , we still had Co2 left in the tank...so I rode it around our pool like a foggy, cold-assed Flipper :dunno: Seems like we went to the stock-car race in Charlotte for the honeymoon. LOL had a bubble-tub in the giant bathroom at the hotel...

O sheep-dip! that reminds me... THIS WEEKEND IS ANNIVERSARY #9. Whaddya get a woman for the 9th anniversary? I'm thinkin fresh AA batts and a fresh bottle of slickery... and I sneak off Jeepin while she's distracted

:dunno:

[Ghost]

ROTFLMAO @ Woody! That is good woody! Oh man was that good! I must say though that I like Thoas A Coopers from Australia! Good stuff! They make a stout, ale, and lager!

[GSequoia]

Oh man Woody..oh man! :D

Sierra Nevada...Mmmmm Reminds me of a story...

I was about 19. My buddy Brett's roomate Larry had just graduated college (I've always had older friends), anyway, Brett likes good beer, and he worked at a liquor store at the time. Anyway, he got Larry a keg of Sierra. At the party there were only three of us realy drinking it, Brett, his friend Stefan, and myself (larry probably had four glasses of it). Anyway, we got rid of about half the keg that night...needless to say I just stumbled to the couch at the end of the night!

[Karlm]

Yeah, I've been on the downhill end of quite a few kegs of Sierra Nevada. Out here we get all of the different varieties. They make about 20 or so.They end up bottling about 10 or so. My fave for the last few years has been the Celebration Ale. It comes out around Christmas. Damn tasty but a little hoppy. If you're ever jonesin' for a night where you end up drooling on the floor, the SN Bigfoot ale just the ticket. It comes out just after the new year. Mmmmmmm beer. Myself, I've been on a Lagunitas kick recently. My buddy lives out on the coast and usually keeps at least three varieties on tap. He got me hooked. All this beer talk has gotten me thirsty. Gotta go.........

"only about 15 of us were 'real' drinkers...so we stayed in 'Arthur' status for a while."

Out of that 15...11 lightweights left that night..leaving my two little bro's and my bro-in law/neighbor...Us 4 were the ones in Arthur Status...LOL filled up empty 2-liter pop bottles instead of mugs...That was a sodden party to end all...took a few days to drain the keg, but by golly we sent it back empty. IIRC the saying was when any of us refilled our 2ltr bottle: "GROG UP"

Had the sqwarts for days after :dunno:

10th anniversary party we'll repeat it...try to find a keg of Murphys or Guinness this time...

Maissel wheat was good dark bier too IIRC...hard to find in the country :( and I only venture to cities under duress.

[GreenGhost]

Karlm, (and anyone else)
If you get a chance head out to Anderson Valley on Hwy 20 and hit the Anderson Valley Brewing Company. Every beer they make is outstanding. Their Amber (Boontville) is easily my favorite amber. Beats the one I just brewed I'm sad to say. But not too sad, 'cause they sell Boontville just down the street from me here in Reno. :D
Any of you boys headin' out from Sactown to Ivan's Lost Coast Run this weekend will thank yourselves for stoppin' by and pickin' up some supplies on your way out.

[xj-fx]

The President of Rolling Rock would be in the can taking a leak...

[Tucker]

Karlm -- and anybody else within spittin' distance of the Feather River -- if you haven't yet, ya oughta try the Butte Creek Ale. I am really fond of Sierra Nevada's Porter, Summerfest, and Celebration, but Butte Creek's Stout will curl yer toes.

[XJguy]

Went to the Belgian bistro last night had some 15% beer...niiiiiiiice! Wouldnt drink that one while swapping out a rear, that ones more for when the job is done you give yourself a nice reward.
