"...two best beers ever brewed.." Ummmm.... better than Neuweilers Cream Ale? or Canadian Ace (79 cents a six-pack!) or Stegmeyer Porter, which tasted like liquorice? Or better yet (and seriously) the original Thomas Hardy's Ale , of which I still have one unopened bottle that is, I believe, 18 years old now. (drank the 25 year old one for my birthday a couple years ago. (Jeez... an empty bottle is being listed on eBay at $31 !!!!) I hope to live to drink the last bottle when IT is 25.

Anecdotes? Ok... when I was married 34 years ago, we had the reception in my wife's mother's basement, and I put my beer stash (along with some donated stuff) in a laundry tub. One guy, locally renowned for his thirst, wandered over and took me aside and said seriously.. "Bill, I'm disappointed in you.... you only have 3-4 beers that I have never heard of!"
