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.

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. :)

You mentioned Dixie beer a few days ago, Dixie was a really great beer
if you had no sense of smell or taste

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

In recognition of some bad TV commercials, the skiers at Jackson Hole
used to challange " Race you for a Michelob light, loser has to drink

longer.

The few times I swished down a "homebrew" beer, I thought it was awful.
Too bitter, too sweet, too funky, too fruity, whatever. I'm no beer
expert, but I do have "expectations" for the approximate taste of a
decent beer or ale.

The homebrewers, of course, are very proud of their concoctions. How
could they be otherwise?

Heinekin is a fine bottled beer, and for many people, tastes exactly
like they want their beer to taste, even if they've just discovered it.
I like the taste of some Japanese beers, too, but my favorites seem to
come from Mexico. The beer I like best from there is Montejo, a brand
I've never seen in the markets. It's just an ordinary beer brewed in
Yucatan, Mexico, and in fact is the beer the ordinary locals drink.

I don't use a speeeeelczecker, Scott Dumbass.

I did a quick search on my favorite brand from Mexico and, alas, it
apparently is no more. The brewery in Merida, which was taken over by
Modelo some years ago, apparently is kaput.

Then the homebrewer didn't know what he was doing, or he simply had
more refined taste than you. You are just bigoted. Most microbreweries
have contests for homebrewers. Why? Because homebrewers use techniques
that have been used for a few thousand years, and are knowledgeable
about contents. The winning brew is usually then picked up and made by
the microbrewery.

The homebrewers, of course, are very proud of their concoctions. How

If you think Heinekin is a "fine bottled beer" you surely wouldn't
like real beer made by real people. Now I understand. Almost all
Mexican beer is watered down swill.
