Although I can concur on your previously stated opinion regarding personal tastes in beer, and I'll admit, as I have in the past, that I have not sampled more than the commercial variety offered by your nation.... but, I'll have to disagree with your premise on alcohol content. I normally drink a beer that is 7.5% alcohol. It's a fine tasting brew and has a nice slightly bitter after taste. Now I don't consider a beer to be strong unless it approaches 9 %. The typical 4.5% offered by American beers is not considered an alcoholic beverage up here... it's barely palatable if served very cold and you can consume it all day in great quantities without suffering any intoxication. The true test of a beer is if it is still enjoyable at room temperature. I don't personally like Ice cold beer unless it's a very hot day. My current alcohol tolerance as tested by the local constabulary with a breathalyzer is below the 0.5 PPM reading after 8 of my usual brews within 4 hours. When I want to get drunk... I really have to turn to 151 proof rum or the Alcool offered in Quebec that clocks in at 96% CM "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ... What the beer drinkers of other countries beside the good ole USA don't seem to realize is that more is not necessarily better. More alcohol in beer is definitely not better. If I want a bunch of alcohol, I'll drink Jack Black on the rocks. When I drink beer, I want to be able to drink a whole bunch of beer without getting drunk nor do I want to taste a bunch of heavy alcohol which ruins the fine taste of hops and barley and malt. Beer over five percent alcohol is not real beer at all in this sailor's opinion. It is an alcoholic's idea of beer. CN "Michael" wrote in message ... That's cause Canadians have this born to it, built in disdain for anything not made in Canada. At one time US beer was known for being weak and insipid, Snipped remainder |

Oh yeah... we can get the usual Bud & Coors here too.... except nobody buys it, so there are only about 2 six-packs of each stuck in the back of the coolers. CM |

whose advice was it? I drank it only because it was free. But here's the drink I prefer: 1 shot each - rum, tequila, vodka, gin, triple sec. 2 or 3 ice cubes. Mix it all up in a glass. Scout "Overproof" wrote Okay... I decided to take the advise and try Samuel Adams Beer.... |
Granted. But don't get tooooo cocky, I've tried vegemite, lol.
Dear God! Scout OzOne wrote in message ... CM, I have at home here somewhere, the gayest San Adams headband that I won for coming 3rd in a boatrace at Vail many years ago. A Yank won and IIRC a Kanook was 2nd..they were the only ones who could scull tha Adams and keep it down. I can let you have it if you want ;-) On Fri, 03 Dec 2004 21:35:58 GMT, "Overproof" scribbled thusly: Okay... I decided to take the advise and try Samuel Adams Beer.... so off I went to the specialty beer store.... nope ... they don't stock it.. no requests. They told me to try the local provincial Liquor Store. There I am in the Import Beer section... there are shelves and shelves of brews... labeled by region and country. Mexican, European, British, Brazilian, Australian etc.... I mean most everybody and nation on the planet was there..... guess which one was conspicuous in their absence.... you got it... the USA!!! So I asked the manager if they had any American Beer.... He started laughing out loud! I kept looking at him in all seriousness... this caused a pregnant pause and a reply of .... "Oh! you're Serious??" I explained to him that I had been referred to try this brew by some Yankees who had enough of me slagging their brewing abilities. He looked at me sternly and replied... " Well you tell those good ole boys we had a shelf of American Beers.... Samuel Adams included... we sold 3 six packs and the rest went stale on the shelf..... So we dumped the lot and refused to order anymore until they learn to brew decent beer" Well... we both had a good laugh and I still haven't found that Samuel Adams that they couldn't pawn off to the drunks up here.... even on a half price sale??? What's Up with Dat??? CM Oz1...of the 3 twins. I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you. |
