looks like a lot of fun .... that is one green green!

[ThunderTitan]

Why are you so white?! Been dabbling in Necromancy?!

[ScarlettP]

Is that a Guiness!??

In front of me... YES it is! The other two ladies were drinking the green beer. *bleck* It was some American brewed 'lite' beer.

Why are you so white?! Been dabbling in Necromancy?!

Because I prefer my skin to remain it's natural color. Therefore, even at my age, it is amazingly soft and smooth... not all leathery like most women 1/2 my age who live in tanning booths working on skin cancer.

And - for the record, I'm not 'White', I'm 'FAIR'.

[asandir]

and I'm white .... though call me fair, albino, whatever as you please

As Ethric repeated "American beer is like sex in a canoe..."

[vulnevia]

As Ethric repeated "American beer is like sex in a canoe..."

Too much water involved?

[Angelspit]

"... it's f...ing close to water."

[ScarlettP]

Thank you, Angel. For once in my life, I was trying to be polite.

*I know that's shocking*

Man you have no idea what you're talking about.

As Ethric repeated "American beer is like sex in a canoe..."

Neither does ethric.

I will be the first to admit that the best beer in the world comes from Belgium. But the 2nd best beer in the world comes from the USA. If you think that all American beer is synonymous with Bud Light or Coors, then you need to expand your palate at little and try some American craft brews.

I must somewhat disagree with that. Cause I'm from land of beer and this is not sounding plausible at all...

..unsure if USA beer qualify somewhat in general...

Pol, where are you from?

Also, one thing you have to realize about American beer is the sheer variety of styles that are available. Pick a style and yes, somewhere, some American brewer has figured out how to do it extremely well.

Sorry, I take my beer very seriously and I won't stand people saying American beer sucks.

[Pol]

I'm from Czech Republic.

The trouble with American beer is, well, here is just not any tradition of bewery. All these brands are originated from the various places of europian land...

[Angelspit]

I don't really care about traditions. If a friend recommends a New England beer I was not familiar with, I'll certainly try to find a bottle somewhere.

Well, it's not really fair to criticize American brewers for not inventing brewing techniques. They were invented in Europe hundreds of years before America existed!

And second, nevertheless, if you think that American breweries are not inventive in the way they brew their beers, you need to try more American beers. Many of the styles and flavors in American brews are very different from anything I've ever seen from Europe, which tends to be, by your own words, more traditional.

[Pol]

I don't really care about traditions. If a friend recommends a New England beer I was not familiar with, I'll certainly try to find a bottle somewhere.

Well, the afinity between original and devoted receptures is somewhat high... so it's question if to count the clones.
(However high affinity in a good brands means usually good satisfaction on both sides.)

Beer is probably originated from Summer. Take it like one of theirs nice discoveries.

Do I need to say that here in Europe I cannot test American beer even if I really wanted?

[Corribus]

Sounds like a reason to take a little trip across the pond, my friend.

[Pol]

Hmm, maybe once.

[asandir]

gee that got things stirred up

[Gaidal Cain]

They were invented in Europe hundreds of years before America existed!

135 Million Years BC: Dinosaurs invent brewing, soon after, Americas is formed.



But to return to the topic at hand (which might fit better in an older thread): I've had american beers, both from Samuel Adams and Brooklyn. They were certainly not worse than some european beers I've had.

[ScarlettP]

LOL! Actually, I agree with Corribus that the US Micro Breweries come up with some excellent products. They are just difficult to find in most 'beer joints.' When I refer to "American Beer", I actually mean the big ones, like Budweiser, Coors, Miller, and *gag* Pabst Blue Ribbon! Those are the ones most widely distributed and most well know, giving all American beers a bad name. (Sort of like Australian Table wines! *nudge nudge winky winky*)

As Cain mentioned, Samuel Adams puts out some wonderful dark ales. There are annual beer tasting festivals sponsored by the Micro Breweries to introduce people to the amazing varieties available to those who look passed the corner market for refreshments.
