Scout "Steve Thomas" wrote in message ... LOL! That is still one of my favourite movies. I don't know if the satire works as well for people too young to remember those days. I still remember the testing of the air raid sirens. "Bob Crantz" wrote in message k.net... Grain alcohol and rainwater for me! Amen! Peace on earth! Purity of essence!

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 |
