Why talk of beers I never herd of?

You wanna talk about near beers ..... while the others want to talk about real beer... ya see son .... there are beer lovers and there are beer drinkers....... your a beer drinker.....

Trolling never helps.

Especially from an illiterate troll.

I steal say they's lots of good low priced beers out there like Old Milwalki.

Oh, almost forgot.

is a dipshit.

I recall my old days wranglin' the macros. Me and Billie would get a big herd o' Bud and drive it from St. Looie all the way to Chicago. That is, until a bottle o' Michelob Light broke loose one day and threw Billie off her horse.

First of all, PEEE U on the spelling in this thread. It really is stinky! I thought "Milwaukee" was spelled like that and "Pabst" was spelled like this, but I digress...

Straight from the Guinness site Re: the widget--

"The widget is a plastic molded device that sits on the top of the contents of each can of GUINNESS® Draught. When the can is opened, a small amount of beer and nitrogen, trapped in the widget, is forced out through the beer, which creates the famous creamy head that you find on a pint of GUINNESS® Draught served in a pub. The widget gives GUINNESS® Draught in cans the taste and texture of a pub poured pint at home."

As for the "brown liquid," you'll just have to visit the site for yourself. The info you require is obtained by clicking the "Knowing" link on the left side. Then, click "Pearls of Wisdom," then, "F.A.Q."

I used to have the same attitude about the near-beer. But then I purchased some Guinness and then some Anchor Porter and fell in love with those. I shudder to think about touching the watery "beer" I used to drink. Just read the threads and learn what the experts like. I have compiled a list of beers to try when I have an extra buck to spend. I get this list from, usually, noticing what Mr. Becker, Mr. Bryson, Mr. Iwerks, or Phil, etc... mention. I hope this helps you... ^_^

OK, I'll bite.

This strikes a chord with me because I used to espouse the same sentiments. "I'll damned if I'd spend eight bucks on a six pak of beer anyone can make for forty bucks in a plastic garbage can"! ....heh heh

But now, things are different. I met a very prolific home brewer who typically has 12-16 beers on tap at any given time. While he was showing me the basics of homebrewing, he was also teaching about beer in general. I'd always thought I was very knowledgeable about beer, having studied, and drank, much beer in the last 30 yrs. Boy was I wrong.

Not only has my mind been raised to a higher level about beer, so has my palate. Heavy malt profile beers like stouts and porters and weird tasting Belgian brews are no longer intimidating. I have literally learned to love them. As recently as 3 months ago, I endured some good natured ridicule from my friend for still maintaining that, despite my new found appeciation for brown ales and Scottish stouts, I still enjoyed a can of Bud. But, a shocking change has occured, since then.

I was over at my daughter's house and my SIL offered me a beer. All he had was a Bud, but I didn't mind, having been a Bud fan of many many years. Horror of horrors. I couldn't taste it. Or, more corrctly, it had no taste! Yes, my palate had mutated. Bud no longer held any redeeming qualities I had learned to appreciate. It was truly canoe beer. Sigh. The end of an era.

BTW, I'm sitting here typing this while watching over two plastic buckets (11gals) full of pale ale gurgling away in primary fermentation. In another week they'll be cold conditioning on hops in ss kegs. This all grain recipe is better than any of the "those 8 dollar a six pack" beers I've since spent money on. I know, because I've looked.

I hope not, I'm female...

BTW-I meant that your spelling is attrocious! (unless english is your second language) Stinky spelling, not stinky beer.

Don't matter, should still work ('cause the hop is related to marijuana which is similar to female hormones and been known to grow breasts on men! It's tru!!!!!!!!!)

My spelling? At least, I can spell "atrocious" (well, I did have to look it up BUT I KNEW YOURS WAS WRONG!)

I'm just mentioning the names of beers that Piddie never "herd" of.

In fact, while you've got the dictionary opened to check my spelling of "atrocious", check out the definition of "facetious" or "parody" (tho', the art of the latter is always hard on the internet, since any subtly is easily seen as authenticity.

(unless english is your second

Why are you letting them off easily? Pabst, Schlitz, Yuengling, Schaefer, Pilsner Urquell, etc., were all GERMAN names, and Guinness is Irish. The names weren't in ENGLISH to begin with!

Hey, you've been reading my bumpersticker!

LOL! I call that a case of jittery finger typing! Atttttttrocious!

Have a beer (an easy-to-spell one or not, either work), that usually works for me.

Or have 5 or 6 to *get* jittery fingers.

I used to have a theory on beer names in the US and how the best selling beers were quickly becoming the easiest to pronounce.

Bud Coors Miller (they dropped "High Life" from most of the advertising) Lite

sold, while once famous, tongue-twisting brands like Schlitz, Schaefer, Schmidt's and Heileman are all but gone, along with "more than 2 syllable" brands like Narragansett, Ballantine, Ruppert Knickerbocker, Olympia, etc.

There was once a little PA. brewery called Horlacher which specialized in economy brands (altho' they did have this real nice "premium" brand that was hard to find and was an all-malt beer aged for 9 months called "Perfection").

I always figured their problem was when the guy walked into the bar and wanted a Budweiser, he said, "Gimme a Bud."

When the guy walked in who walked a Michelob, he said "Gimme a Mick."

The Horlacher drinker said, "Gimme a Hor..." and was directed to Sally with all the make-up on at the corner table.

Well...thank you very much for the compliment! I hope that you Never EVER find a tear in your beer.

I just had a Rogue Hazelnut Brown Ale(actually available locally) and found, after it warmed up a bit from my retailer's frigid cooler, it to be quite tasty and chocolaty. Think nice hazelnut wafers, without the wafer, but *with* some kick! LOL!

Best regards, Bill

You don't know the difference betwixt top and bottom fermentation. I know more about beer than anyone in this newsgroup.

Hope this helps!

Not so. There's a whole new series of weird Miller High Life ads on Outdoor Life Network (OLN) where "high life" is the key phrase.

nb

Miller certainly dropped or de-emphasized "High Life" for many years, along with what they perceived as the effete slogan "the Champagne of Bottled Beers". The fact that they have, in desperation revived the name (maybe to jump on the retro beer fad), just as they tried to market Miller Beer, Miller Genuine Draft Beer, Miller Ale, Miller Malt Liquor, MGD, etc., doesn't really negate my thought (which was a thought from a few decades ago to start with, thus "I USED to have a theory...").

And how many people walk into a bar and order a "Miller High Life"?

If you know so much about beer, then answer one question:

What beer am I drinking right now?
