Here is a good alternative to Fox News which I no longer watch

Good lord man you're the one who calls lagers lawn mower beer because you like ales and dislike lagers.

And yes I am educated on the subject. When I brewed beer, and built the equipment to do it, it was German style, from the home-made mash-kettle to the counterflow chiller to the temperature controlled lagering environment. Got to be too much work, and the kids were getting older and frankly I don't drink enough such that it was worthwhile, with the incredible selection of lagers that are available in this part of the country. LMB to you apparently. Another beer snob in a world too full of them already.

Anyhow it was fun while I did it and I have my old recipes if I ever take it up again.

PS: Offer me an ale and I won't turn it down, and I have a special fondness for XB, which I've only had as a tourist bringback by friends (that would be Theakston's if you ever heard of them). But for a cold one in the evening, I like the German style brews and only a fool would try to find fault with that.

you arrogance is as usual, borderline insulting,


to be the beer guy you think you are , you would know what a BMC is, a lawnmower beer is, and what a german beer is,


not a snob, bit of a beer geek, different,

you would be the snob, as evident by your post,

Theakstons, yep, heard of it,

big fan of Bishop's Finger, if you have heard of them, but they have not exported in maybe 10 yrs,

When I discovered German beers it was like when I found out there was good tequila.

Speaking of German beers. Here's a personal experience...When I was in the army and still 17, I was shipped to Germany and a group of the old guys in the platoon there took me on the town to get me drunk and telling me how strong the German beer was...Well for some un-explained reason! I proceeded to drink all of them all under table....And I was the talk of the platoon. That is, until the next time we went out and I was falling down drunk after only a couple of beers.. I guess there are some days you can drink and other days you can't..Lol

A lot depends on what they were pouring on any given day.

yep.

not all beer is created equal as far as ABV is concerned,

first trip you may have been given Pounders,

the next, the high test stuff,

[rayg]

We were all drinking the same rounds of the same German beer that first time...They were those big bottles with the hard wire ceramic top cork. ..The beer in the PX was American beer and after drinking the German beer, it remined you of flavored carbonated water.. PS much of the imported German beer in the US and the PX was not as strong as the beers served in Germany then.. The GI's called the PX beer, green beer!.. or not finished ..Lol
That was over 60yrs ago for me...

Sprecher Brewery in Milwaukee was founded by a former serviceman who found upon returning home from deployment to Germany that he could not find those beers locally brewed, and so he saw a business opportunity. Since those early craft days (1980s) a whole generation has grown up not realizing how it was before.

We drank a lot of G. Heileman products in college. Some serious hangover beers. Leinenkugel's was considered exotic. I'm no beer snob but I have a sister who drinks Miller Lite and I cannot understand how this can be. To me imbibing that stuff is a fair definition of having a drinking problem.

I have felt the same way about you for a long time, glad that you are finally owning up to it. Please continue down Sigmund's path, I find it quite refreshing from you for a change.

Manic Sam is at it again. Where did you visit in England, the many times you went?

Boggs never had a hangover? A lifetime lack of drinking buddies explains a lot. Some of us visited the rim of the volcano in our youth without falling in.

Maybe he has an addiction problem due to unresolved trauma. Either way, I'm waiting to see where he went on his physical trips to the UK or England.

Half of drinking is environment. And being young. Remember Coors? Sure you do. You couldn't get it east of the mississippi. So one of our pilots bolted a case of it down in the back seat of an A-4. He handed out a few cans to us ground crew. I got home, opened it up, took a sip and was underwhelmed. Ah, but one of the best beers I ever had was a coors. For no reason at all, it was a tall boy and every sip was wonderful. Probably the last coors I ever drank. Then there was the day I landscaped my yard. TG day. Everyone was gone and I started placing railroad ties. It was some kind of Hefeweizen. Good beer, beautiful cool Nov. day. Hard work, good results. You know what they say. C'mon, you know what they say. It doesn't get...
