Worked. Thanks!

I stopped buying beer once I started brewing my own. Now I only buy a commercial beer to use as a reference if I am trying to clone, or use as a style reference. Sorry USA commercial beer Belgium has you beat by a mile. Brewery Ommegang in New York has some tasty stuff though.

With me it’s red wine. Australian Shiraz or Argentinian Malbec. I like Castlemaine’s XXXX beer too. And the odd gimlet.

Seems that trend started with Corona. Most Mexican beer comes is clear bottles that allows the light to destroy the beer. The lime kills the skunk aftertaste.

I am not a beer snob, I am an equal opportunity beer drinker.

Some one tried to tell me that they have always done that.

Feh! not where I drink!
I have never put citrus in a Heffewiesen.

The lime in the corona started to cover the taste of “skunked” beer

The lime in the corona

I thought we were talking about beer.

[glock rocks]

Yah, we got beer.

Don't make me post a pic of our Cascade hops plant... beer???

sheesh.

[mylife]

No one complained when coors and bud were mentioned!

I AM a beer snob. But “free and cold” can cause me to abandon my snobbery about as fast as you can put it in my hand. :-)

He had fruit in his beer!

First time I heard of that.

[unixfox]

Can you even get *real* beer anymore??

Give Dogfish Head 60 or 90 a try. While you're at it pick up some Old Speckled Hen.

My favs of REAL beer.

Yeah, I remember “Ba Muoi Ba” (”33”), heard all the stories about formaldehyde and “don’t drink that s***, I’ve been to the brewery”. So I never tried it.

(Flew helicopters from a fixed base) on the other hand we were ecstatic when a pallet load of San Miguel arrived. The usual diet of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Carling Black Label helped us appreciate the difference. Heck, as long as it was cold.

Geez, that was a long time ago.

"We put in just a touch of formaldehyde for flavor. Some people get sick, yeah. So if you have to be rushed to a holpital, then when you return, I give you a free salad."

“Iron Horse Brewery out of Ellensburg Washington, has some fine beers. Irish Death, being my favorite....frankly it is the best dark beer I have ever drank....makes Guinness taste like a turd....well not really, but it is dang good.”

I’ll have to see if I can order some from my beer store.

[AndyJackson]

Yeah, well I am not no one. I thought about keeping quiet, but if it leads to fruit in your beer, well, fruit in my beer, then it is crossing a line and something must be said.

I am on a Belgian Tripel kick right now myself.
