I don't think I've drunk a well-known brand of beer in a couple of decades. We've got some darned good micro-breweries around here. I used to drink Red Hook's "Ballard Bitter" until they changed it (too hefty for some people). A couple of years ago I was introduced to one from a Montana micro-brewery:    "Moose Drool."

In one episode of "The Red Green Show" (Canadian), in the Possum Lodge word game, the secret word that Red was trying to get Ranger Gord to say was "Water."

Red:    This is something that everyone drinks.
Gord:    Beer.
Red:    This doesn't have any taste.
Gord:    Oh! American beer!
