Subject: RE: BS: Screw Bush: Let's Talk Beer
OK, There are so many- differing moods, differing locales denote a variety of bevvies. Samuel Smiths: Wonderful Stuff. An old roommate & I referred to it a "payday beer" because it was the only time we could afford it. About $10.00 a six-pack in the late 80's- available then only in a local deli (I know we were getting a screwing). Guinness: Oh yeah. My "go to" beer when out & about. Bass Ale: Usually in the 'fridge when found on sale. The Belgians: Too many to mention, but the ones that are readily available (here anyway) are Chimay, Orval, Duvel (wicked stuff that) Belgian beers are marvelously complex- so many varieties. The Germans: Disclosure Statement: I worked as a bartender in a couple of different bars in Germany (Heidelberg & Berlin) and have to recuse myself from discussions involving German beers. The only thing I have to say is that it is WRONG WRONG WRONG to put a slice of Lemon in a Hefeweizen. Lemon slices are only for Kristallweizen. Also, Hefeweizen should only be served from the bottle, poured properly into its specified glass. Hefeweizen from a keg is somehow not right. End of rant.
