Heineken gives me heartburn, even after one.
Samuel Adams Lager. The ultimate beer.

Hardly. Samuel Adams has become a world class beer. Not bad for it's
beginnings as a micro-brewery.

Maybe...but you can go here and see how it was done in the 1800s ( see
Virtual Tour)
I grew up one city block from this brewery.

Nice "me too!" post, dummy.

Don't worry Donnie, he's just trying to make up for all those years
his dad beat the crap out of him.

Looks like his dad wasn't tough enough.

there's plenty in your neck of the woods too.

I don't like Sam Adams, but I know plenty who do.
It's all personal taste.
But I only turn my nose up at "lite" beer.
I just don't get that. Won't touch it.

Oh, and Michelob. Won't touch that either.

Agreed. There was a brilliant commercial a few years back that
featured people tasting rain and thinking it was raining beer.

Little difference from water.

Try Michelob Amber Boch if you can find it. Not bad for an American beer.

We agree about Sam Adams, but M A B is nothing more than dark water. ;)

Very little flavor.

There's a big difference between the bottled version and draft. We used to
keep it on tap in a kegerlator in Florida because it was the most popular
beer in the neighborhood we lived in. Not quite as heavy as Sam Adams, not
as good, but not bad.

One of my favorites while stationed in Germany was a Czeck beer called
'Pilsner Urquell'. If you've never done so, give it a shot. Our
Safaway carries them so I guess it's fairly common over here now. It
may not be much of a beer anymore either.

I remember that - can't place the name of the beer though.

It was really funny.

Speaking of beer, when I quit 30 some odd years ago, there wasn't a
lot of choices in terms of beer - regional beers yes, but all these
speciality beers - no way.

I was sent on an errand up to Yankee Spirits in Sturbridge the other
day to pick up some wine for Mrs. Wave's Female Bonding party turn. I
walked through the place and all the freakin' beer - wheat this, berry
that - hell, I even saw actual mead - mead!! Who the hell drinks mead?

I counted something like two hundred thirty some odd types of beer.

Somehow it figures. :)
