About beer....
I'm not a beer drinker, and really never have been. Oh, theres been a
couple times in my life that I've twisted a top, and a couple times that a top has twisted me. But for the most part, I think beer smells like what it is. rotten grain. now, I'm sure that there's many people that post and lurk on this board that do like the suds, And if you like the suds, I'm not preaching against your favorite thurst quencher. I DID a bit of snooping around though, and found this thread hillarious. http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?...c=12052&st=270 I thought some of you could appreciate it and it might revive some of your own thoughts of personal taste's and experiences as well. Enjoy! |

About beer....
Do you ever go by Summits Wayside Taverns? It is the best place for
good quality draft beer. http://www.classiccitybrew.com/summits05.html Beer aficionados appreciate the food but come to Summits for the amazing selection of malt beverages. On a typical day you'll likely find a staggering array of draft beers - 114 at Sandy Springs, 166 at Snellville, and 224 at Cumming. Andy insists that his draft beers are better maintained than most because of his use of nitrogen gas mixed with the standard carbon dioxide. "Nitrogen is more expensive than CO2 but it does a much better job at preserving kegged beer," he says |

I take him a few bottles of homebrew for his opinion. Each has a wall about 40 feet long with nothing but draft spigots, then behind the counter he usually has a few kegs of cask conditioned pump brews. He takes frequent trips to Europe to find beers, and if he comes across something exceptional but not able to get enough to sell at quantity, he holds for he and his friends!!! |

About beer....
I drink too much of the stuff actually. It's not uncommon to down a 12 pack of RC or Pepsi in a morning. Or 4 cans of 7up at supper. So... Knowing that all the sugar and carbonation isn't really that healthy in the long term, I'm turning to just lain water to natural fruit juices. Do I feel better? Not really But I'm sure it's making a healthier difference. Tim Tim wrote: John Gaquin wrote: "Tim" wrote in message . I'm not a beer drinker, and really never have been. .

I was one of the first people to get on Andy's Passport Program.
Unfortunately, I had to cut back on alcohol due to a conflict with a med I am taking. I now share one beer with my wife and that is my limit. Enough just to wet the whistle. |

About beer....
I saw the reports on high levels of benzene. But it's interesting that
the "high" levels are what? 72 parts per billion??? Seeing that Benzene and gasoline are very closly related, you probably absorb more bad stuff when you are self-serve filling your car and get a whiff of the fuel fumes. PLUS Working int he automotive industry, I probably get more than that just touching grease and smelling cleaning solvent. If it's there...it's there, and you may know it or not. The Ascorbic acid has never given me a gut problem (that I know of) but , maybe I'm used to it.... basskisser wrote: Tim wrote: John Gaquin wrote: "Tim" wrote in message .

We beer drinkers prefer the juice of rotting grain, while wine drinkers [who often somehow fancy themselves superior] merely shift their preference to the rotting juice of fruit. You, on the other hand, prefer a chemically altered concoction, so you shift the rotting process to your own insides during the post-drink phase. :-) |

Oh no, here we go. you got it all backwards.
i was talking about how the FDA rated 72 parts per Billion too high. 72 parts per billion??? And stated that GASOLINE AND BENZENE ARE RELATED.(Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, but it is usually synthesized from other compounds present in petroleum. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and the second [n]-annulene ([6]-annulene).") and YOU PROBABLY GET MORE CONTAMINATION GETTING A WHIFF ON THE FUEL FUMES WHEN YOU FILL YOUR CAR.
