I've read several articles where cruisers were brewing their own beer
aboard
their boats. I brew my own when ashore, but have had to resort to
store-bought beer when living aboard for the winter.

Have any of you any experience brewing your own afloat?

I have yet to have a brew at home beer that is pleasant to drink. In fact,
I cannot think of any homemade alcohol products (beer or wine) that I liked.
But then again, I am an American who favors a nice cold bottle of Miller
Genuine Draft. ;-)

I have. When I drink beer I do not expect to find clumps of barley, malt
and yeast in it (a very stout beer!). I also do not expect to have to scoop
it out of the mug. ;-)

I want a beer that is pleasing to the taste yet does not overwhelm my
senses. Perhaps if I were raised in Dublin, Ireland or Fort George, Canada
I would have different tastes. ;-)

If you have a problem with MGD have you ever had a Coors Lite? Nothing
but water passed over some barley and hops for 2 seconds.

What's the difference between American beer and making love in a canoe?
None. They are both ***king near water.

American beers are indeed quite mild as compared to stout ales or beers from
Canada or Europe. There are a number of private brew houses throughout the
States frequented by those with a greater appreciation of beer.

Excluding the drunk party scenario.........we drink beer here as a
compliment to casual meals or to relax.

Now college drinking is another scenario altogether and the quality of the
beer is not high on that list. ;-)

Don't _ever_ do that again when I have beer in my mouth!

These flavour buds ensure the satisfying aftertaste. They also can be
counted as servings of green vegetables if one is concerned with such
things.

Absolutely. Sensory overload is a distinct problem with many of our
tasty beverages. Caution must be exercised at all times.

naw, just yanking your chain, both MGD and Coors are brewed up here and
the hotter it is, the better they taste!

As a Pom now living in Australia, my problem is the temperature that
beer's served over here. If I want frostbite of the toungue, I'll
lick my eutetic plate.

Still, 20 seconds in the microwave brings a pint of Aussie beer to a
reasonable temperature and nothing could damage the taste any more
than the "brewers' have.

buddy of mine feeds his dog beer --I know, he's an idiot-- calls the
poor thing "Six Pack"

funny thing is, the dog turns it's nose away from Fosters!
