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%

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.

Quite drinkable.
A bit stronger tasting (more hops?) than "regular" beer, but otherwise
unremarkable.
It is yellow in colour, and I have only seen it on tap.

There is a Belgian beer being promoted and sold in bars in southern
Ontario
called "Stella Artois". Last spring they were giving away free glasses.
I
have not seen advertizing for it except in bars, but I saw it in
Michigan
last month as well.

BTW the fact that it didn't sell doesn't mean it's bad... just that
nobody
who walked into the store knew what it was.

BTW - Samuel Adams advertises here because we get most of your TV
channels..... nobody knows about Belgian Beer... but the local
Private
Outlet authorized to import it is consistently sold out... why is
that???

Let me explain it to you.... you guys know **** when it comes to beer!
That's why!

The absolute best beer in The World is that ice cold brew you pull out of a bed of ice after
digging post holes in clay and rock under a 30 degree sun all day! Brand does not enter into
the equation.

Been there, done that, didn't even get a frickin T shirt.

It's become fairly popular here in southern Ontario, personally I find it a little on the bitter
side, I lean to Harp and Bass, or if Im hungry one of the Brown Ales.

Your probably correct John, Mooron does after all reside in Nova Scotia; a province that lies between Newfounland and The Eastern Townships on the
backwardness scale.

Samuel Adams is available in Ontario Brewers Retail outlets, though I have yet to gird up my loins and find the courage to try it. It's not the
thought of the beer that requires the courage it's perfoming CPR on the guy behind the counter if I ordered an American beer.

If that's meant to be an insult you're barking up the wrong tree, I generally agree with you,
non of the big brand beers in either the US or Canada is good for much besides putting out
fires.

Thats because most Americans (and I presume Canadians) do not like beer -
they just want to get drunk. You have to hunt down a local mini-brewery run
by folks who like beer.
