    Many of my friends are beer snobs. In the past I would always try their fancy beers. Now I proudly order the cheapest domestic beer available. It taste better to me.

    What’s with the chef’s hat and apron?

    He’s barbecuing.
    I drank enough of that American weasel-whizz to float a ship. Now I only drink micro-brews. Thank heavens.

    Camra – Campaign for Real Ale – http://www.camra.org.uk/ – the only real beer is British and certainly doesn’t come in a metal can. In a can, Guinness or perhaps Belgium in bottles. American beer drinkers need educating, sorry.

    Many Americans only drink beer to get buzzed or drunk. They don’t care what it tastes like as long as it cheap.

    Saw it. It was just OK. Now next Wednesday’s…that’s funny.

    Back in ancient Mesopotamia, brewing enabled farmers to preserve the nutritive value of their grains past the normal rotting point, thus showing how agriculture could improve everyone’s lot in life, justify permanent farming communities, and ultimately giving rise to civilization as we know it. Yay, beer!

    Plus, once they’d had enough of it, nomad scavenging got much harder to do. Finding your knees can be pretty hard after enough.

    I’m German and we have real good beer here but I never tried American. But what I’d really like to try is “root beer”, I don’t think you can get it here.

    Once I overheard a comment in a University-town bar: “I really like those good German beers like Heinekens.”
    Heinekens is, of course, Dutch.

    In Canada we like to refer to American beer as pony piss.

    As I said, we all know what brand of swill Rat is drinking, but for legal reasons we can’t say; right, bud? The real question, then, must be, what brand is cartoon-Pastis drinking, and how much does it cost?

    Hugh, I’ve never tried Canadian beer (yet). Most American beers are made more for quantity than quality though. There are some good American beers, but the big players in the game (the now Belgian owned company, one owned by a UK company, Colorado Kool-Ade) are not our best products. Actually, I’ve referred to them as goat piss.

    I was in Brussels, Belgium a few years ago and was dragged to a tavern called “Mort Subite” which offered a beer of the same name. The term means “sudden death” and since it tasted like vinegar, the name was most appropriate.
