   Is this what they call watered down beer?

   “Lest we forget.”

   Or at least what they called “Near Beer” (And even I’m not old enough to remember that!

   Wasn’t there something about “making love beside a lake” too?

   That’s how they make Near Beer and Light/Lite Beer.

   @Steve Remembers: I remember a skit from Monty Python: Live at the Hollywood Bowl. The Bruces sketch:

   1st Bruce: Your American beer is like making love in a canoe.
   2nd Bruce: Making love in a canoe?
   1st Bruce: F*ing close to water.

   I never heard either, and after hearing of them I’d very much like to forget both.

    Powdered Beer flavoring?

    Don’t call plain water “watered down beer” when it came from a well.

    I have heard about “near beer; but, the so-called “non-alcholic” beer is always made from regularly brewed beer with ALMOST all of the alcohol removed.

    Growing up in Central Illinois, I thought the all beers were Pilsners, like Bud (ugh), Old Style (double ugh), and Coors (GACK, spew, retch). Then I moved to California and tried my first red ale. For the first time, I discovered that it’s possible to drink beer because you like it, not just because it was the cheapest way to get buzzed.

    Soon after that, I discovered Guinness, and in 18 months I was in rehab…

    fritzoid - I rarely drink, but when I do I like a good Stout Beer.
    Had one from Australia that nearly needed chewing.
    Good Beer

    I’m Canadian and the beer is pretty good here, especially the micro brewery beers. Granville Island micro does a wonderful IPA.
