Subject: RE: Beer
Mrrzy,

I'm not sure what beers you've tried, but there are a number of lagers that aren't so bitter. That is one of the complaints about American beer, too bland!! The major breweries all try to produce a very middle of the road product that will appeal to everyone and they turn out something that is akin to tap water.

As for not caring for the bitter flavor, I think it is a lot like coffee complaints, some people can't stand Starbucks-type coffee - way too bitter!

You might consider trying something like Corsendonk or a nice Kriek. While you may find it bitter, you might find it interesting because of all the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) flavors that are present.

Personally, I believe the secret to life can be found in a pint of Guinness draft. I have seen the light!!!!

I enjoy a lot of different beers. Sam Adams is my "house" beer, but I also enjoy Bass. Most of the times I enjoy ales and stouts.

Homebrewing is also fun. I've brewed some interesting flavors and styles.

Thanks. Now I am thirsty and I have to work for 3 more hours!!!!
