'Merican Beer...
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 |

Why bother sending it to Canada when yuppies line up for it down here? 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. If you're bragging about your choice of beer, is it because you don't have anything else worthy of mention in your life? DSK |

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 ...

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 ...

I notice a bit of frustrated cruelty in your posts, Mr King.
Life must be hard for you lately as you seem to use this group to attempt to harass other people in a vain attempt to lessen the blow life has dealt you. You are becoming more and more like Gaynz in your frustrated bitterness towards those who enjoy life, notwithstanding your pretending be more interested in the opposite sex. Perhaps coming out of the closet would help. May I suggest therapy? CN "DSK" wrote in message .. . Overproof wrote: The true test of a beer is if it is still enjoyable at room temperature. Why?

Weak beer is real beer. Beer is supposed to be weak.
I say the stronger the beer a man drinks the smaller or more dysfunctional his penis. Women can't abide him so he drowns his sorrows in strong beer. Beer is meant to be drunk in mass quantities. One should be able to chug a pint on a hot summer afternoon and then sit and enjoy sipping a second or a third pint to quench a mighty thirst. The idea is not to get drunk doing it. The world has too many sots as it is . . . That is the very nature of beer - mass quantities of flavor without the drunk factor. CN "Donal" wrote in message ...

if you're interested: have a look at arcat.com
a site for construction related resources. ICFs are ok. 9' high foundation walls will generally require reinforcing---depends are where the ground elevation is located relative to the basemnet floor. make sure you have it engineered. there are also precast foundation panel and insulation systems. personally, i'd stay away from them. usually VERY thin wall thickness. any movement (earth or thermal) ar water/freezing prolbems, and you will have bigger problems. just my view, of course. good luck gf.
