Good vodka is much easier than beer. Everybody's got their own taste. Just never cared for Bud. Every time I had a couple Michelobs my breath was like the exhaust fan at a brewery. When I got pulled over for doing 53 in a 45 in Hubbard's Cave (downtown Chicago) the cops immediately thought I was hammered just from the smell. Had been at a family event. I had only 2 Michelobs over a period of a couple hours and finished the second one a couple hours previously. If it wasn't for the smell I could have talked them out of giving me the speeding ticket. Had to go to court and talk the judge out of it. Told him I just wasn't paying enough attention. and it's not in my nature to break the law, as my record shows, and I'm sorry, and I throw myself at the mercy of the court. Everything I said was true, but that little hitch and lilt I put in my voice when I said it was blarney. In Chicago it's good to know your Irish. He said "Dismissed." Anyway, I vowed to never drink Michelob again. Wasn't a bad tasting beer as I recall, just didn't get along with my chemistry. I've had a few of those Pilsner Urquells that John mentioned, and it's not bad. For me though, it's slightly bitter, and that's just not my preference in beer. But sometimes it just depends on your mood. Same with the Sam Adams. I just prefer almost neutral to a little sweet on whatever scale it is. Hops content, I think. Usually drink pale beer. Most of dark beers I've had are on the bitter side. One dark beer I like now and then is a Danish, Carlsberg Dark. Sweeter than most dark beers to my taste. I never turn down Millers High Life or Genuine Draft. Even before the micro-breweries, Chicago had a wealth of imported bottled and kegged beer. Lots of German bars. Paid many visits to a joint called Resi's Bierstube where I first encountered Hacker-Pschorr Weis. That beer probably suits me best. I'm hoping my brew will be close. Only problem with Resi's was some of them Nazi's were still around. Couple of the regulars were former U-boat crew. Some might say "let bygones be bygones" and "they're just sailors" like you once were. But when I'm drinking, it's best not to do it around U-boaters who were killing "The Greatest Generation" just 20 years ago. I stayed away from them after being introduced. All I want to know about U-boats is found in Das Boot. There's a couple more beers I used to drink there. Faust Blue Label, and Saint Pauli. They also had a thick syrupy beer I tried once. Can't remember the name. Came in a little 6-8 ounce bottle. Not bad, but just too heavy. In those days a drinking bout meant quaffing about a gallon, and that heavy stuff was no good for that, especially when the old kraut behind the bar was feeding you schnapps shots. Wasn't too many years after I started going to Resi's that I could find the good German stuff at certain liquor stores. Globalism. Now Resi's is full of yuppies. Couple of decent Polish beers I have now and then is Zywiec and Okocim. So I recommend trying them. Both are pale. I don't intend to get into brewing as deeply as Loogy and Scotty. Just want to try it. I like to cook sometimes. Even if I only make one batch, I figure I can still use the gear for other stuff. Can haul dirt and fish with the buckets, and use the tubing as a siphon for gas if I have to drop a tank to replace a fuel pump. The thermometer might do for making fudge. Since my wife is a cook, she'll like that pot. Not quite sure what I'll do with that bottle capper though. Or 50 empty beer bottles. But, however it turns out.... it's gonna be fun! --Vic |

Pilsener is a common claim, Urquell is the only true one. Pretty good beer. Some think it is the worlds best. Hard claim to verilfy, maybe if you specify high volumn. Carlsberg and Tuborg, Danish, were good forty years ago last time I had some. Beer is always on charter at every newsgroup. Casady I used to like Carlsberg and Tuborg. I don't see it that often anymore. BTW .... the handle I've been using for the past 20 years on the Internet, "Eisboch" is a variation of the spelling of "Eisbock", a particular type of beer. Coors used to produce an "Eisboch" seasonally and I happened to grab the name one day when prompted for a screen name on the old Prodigy Internet service. Been using it ever since. Eisboch |

If in a commercial establishment that doesn't have draught beer that I like, I'd order a bottle of Sam Adams any day. However, there are regional craft brewers that kick Sam Adam's ass all over the map. We have 10 of them in the Northwest and I'm sure 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. But I know plenty who do. Oh, and Michelob. Won't touch that either. --Vic 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. Eisboch We agree about Sam Adams, but M A B is nothing more than dark water. ;) Very little flavor. -- Reginald P. Smithers III, Esq. 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. Eisboch 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. -- John H That's a tasty beer! |

Casady It really doesn't matter where it is brewed, Heineken is Europe's equivalent of Budweiser. If you enjoy a very light lager, but with a little more hops than Bud, you might like Heineken. On the Beer Advocate it has a mediocre rating. When I drink a beer, I want it to be a very flavorful beer with a rich full flavor. Here is one of the reviewers on the Beer Advocate that sums up my feeling about Heineken. "The smell was thin - some sulfur-like odor. The taste was bland - a mixture of sulfur and vegetable oil mixed with a touch of hops. It ends with a salty note. It's fairly drinkable, but boring. The sulfur tends to stick around, but something about it makes it crisp and it can be refreshing. But, it's not a good beer by any means - and overpriced. I know that it is popular - but wonder why. (Marketing I suppose.)" -- Reginald P. Smithers III, Esq. This Newsgroup post is a natural product.
