    Who wants a Beer!

    ME! Todays the last workday of the week, (I start up again on Friday) ... so who wants to stop down at the pub!

    Yes, unless the beer is any of the following:

    Any light beer
    Bud
    Coors
    Any variant of Molson
    Heinekken
    Castlemaine XXXX
    Stella
    Holsten Pils

    The answer becomes definitely if you have:
    Hoegaarden
    Kronenburg
    C'est What
    Steamwhistle
    Harp
    Nookie Brown
    Boddingtons or
    Rickards Red

    i've got a grammar exam tomorrow.. it counts toward my graduation, so it's not a good idea to get drunk.
    can I have a beer tomorrow?

    where are these from?

    hehe, if you want to taste some really good (local, non-massproduced) beers, you should visit Bavaria (yes, I know that was predictable).

    Lets see now:
    Hoegaarden - Belgian I think it is made from wheat, very nice stuff although perhaps an acquired taste
    Kronenburg 1664 - This is either French or Belgian, another of my favourites. Nice clean taste
    C'est What - Canadian bottled in Toronto's distillery district. It has hemp in it, the name is a play on words: Hemp? Say what?
    Steamwhistle - Another toronto microbrewery, located near the harbour. I've had some enjoyable days down their on a sunny afternoon looking out at the lake.
    Nookie Brown - You may be more familiar with the name Newcastle Brown Ale. A nice dark beer
    Boddingtons - The cream of manchester
    Rickards Red - Canadian, I like red beers and this is my favourite of them.
    Harp - Irish, often overlooked by people going for guinness but it is ten times nicer

    And as far as the trip to sample beer from bavaria goes - yeah, that'd be cool. I'll be arriving monday. There is a great place in the merchant city section of glasgow where they sell beers from all over the world. I remember there was some preety good german & Czech beers but I couldnt pronounce them so I just looked and pointed.

    Well liking moosehead (I always keep a 12 of moose in the house) cancels out the Stella misstep. Have you Tried Alexander Keiths? It is similar to moosehead

    Its cheap Australian stuff, even worse than Fosters Ice (if that is possible). However a lot of places in Glasgow it can be found on sale as 8 500ml cans for 5 pounds

    I am having a Leinehugels Sunset Wheat. It's pretty good when you've got Miller Light and all the others to choose from.


    Let me just describe the American Beer Case (at your average grocery store here in my town):

    The premium beers
    Killians Red (I like)
    Blue Moon (pretty good)
    Heinekin (ehh)
    Guiness (ehh)
    Bass (I like)
    Pete's Wicked Ale (I love it)
    And the list goes on

    When I want something special I like to go to the liquor store (you get more bang for your buck)--- I love fall because they have the most delicious pumpkin ale ever. Fall is also good because of this event called the brewers jam and you go to the park and sample all kinds of beers.

    and if you're low on cash and want to drink your troubles away a forty of Steel Reserve or St. Ides is the way to go (but I don't recommend that very often)

    And I have discovered that different towns have different beers for sale. and some local restaurants have microbreweries in them and you can get some good beer in those places. And there's usually about four to choose from: a light beer, a stout beer, an amber (I do like amber ales) and a seasonal.

    And another awesome beer I had at a Mexican restaurant was a Carta Blanc ---but it's hard to get.
