skol!
I understood what Claude Rains meant in Caesar and Cleopatra
(1945) when he said he would just drink his “barley water” instead of local wines.
I had some Guinness. I noticed it did not say “Beer” anywhere on the bottle except for the importer. It has on it “Product of Ireland/ALE.
All I know is that IPA’s SUCK!
Well we have already seen what happened during Prohibition. It didn’t work. Only lasted 13 years. My dad became an alcoholic in those 13 years showing the failure of it.
Same for gun control.
I am making commentary on the writing in this brief article. Where beer is indicated to be either lager or ale, but then proceeds to mix up usage of beer and lager.
About a $1 per bottle. /sarc
I read that medieval taverns used to serve a drink made from pears. This sounds good.
Pilsner brand in Germany is the best - a county where they don’t have those silly alcohol content restrictions. US import of the brand sucks.
Germany has their ‘Beer Purity Laws’...............They didn’t invent beer. They perfected it!...............

And Americans watered it down. In some cases, American beer is indistinguishable from badly flavored water.
After my trips to Germany for my job, I have no respect for American brews..............
When I was stationed in Germany I was shocked at my fellows who insisted on drinking “Miller Genuine Draft.” I’m not sure what’s wrong with some people!
Ah, I gotcha. Yes, that’s confusing.
Our local Aldi has 4 pack of 16oz cans of Wernesgrüner Pilsner for around $5.50. Pretty decent German Pilsner for the price.
The English say American beer is like sex in a canoe....
I drank a lot of duty free beer on leave on the Channel ferry in ‘81 and ‘82 but nothing compared to what the English lads could put away, lol.
I think it was Watney’s Red barrel, which I guess the beer snobs look down on, but it was tastier than American swill and a nice change from Licher and Richer, the local biers in Hessen where I was.
Tucher, not Richer!
@#$& auto correctum....
All I ever brewed at home were ales, because of the temperature issue. I did know a guy who made lager in Tucson in the summertime, because he had a refrigerator just for that.
