 Let me catch my breath.. I'll get hammered for my negative opinion here but the truth is out there Folks. Big American Breweries...... should be redefined as Sewage bottlers. But the times have changed here. stares Thankfully I can report that we have hundreds of Micro Breweries now. Three in here in little Everett Wa! I haven't chugged a "Butwieser, Coors" "or the like" in 21 years. About as low as I'll go (with-out a touch of "Guinness Stout"  ) is a "Becks". Most small (pubs) Bars now include an IPA and an Ale or two Tapped right next to crap Beers. I'm Sipping on an Amber Colored Alt right now. Even the tiny shoppes around carry crappy (but Cheep!) Oz, Mexican, and German beer. But still we've got beer over here we can chew. So don't feel "too" bad for us! Robert PS I had my First Warm Pint in the China Fleet Club! (Hong Kong) We got tossed out for scrapp'n!)) [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jan 18, 2005 11:37:47 AM] |

Let me catch my breath.. I'll get hammered for my negative opinion here Everyone is entitled to their opinion - the more people realise this, the more peaceful this world would be. Thankfully I can report that we have hundreds of Micro Breweries now. Yep, I know. I visited my first American micro brewery over 12 years ago. It was a place called Gordon Biersch (spelling maybe off) in Palo Alto. The problem with even imported beers is that they are all sanitised by the big conglomarates to make sure that they can be sold to as big a market as possible. For example, there is a big difference between the real Budweiser (Budvar) that you get from Cesky Budejovice in the Czech Republic and the Budvar that is exported to other countries. And as for the "King of Beers", lets not even go there. |

I think I will stick to my favourite, Guiness Draught [Extra Cold] Now that is a stout that is better from the source in Dublin. Also Extra Cold doesn't sell as well as the original in Dublin as far as I have seen, Although it is not every ones cup of tea [Hey is that an Oxymoron]
