"Kölsch"...the only beer in the world that doesn't change color, temperature, or taste on passing through the human digestive system.

I do drink Coronas with a lime in the summers.

Hi all,

For our USA friends just one small info note - the one and only true Budweisser is from Czech Republic - a place called Budejovice/Budweis (so Budweiser)... [8D]


USA Bud and Czech Budweiser on a beer shelf:

.... go south of the border and go with Tecate!!!!
Well, at least Tecate, or Corona or Pacifico tastes like something; window cleaner, donkey urine, transmission fluid, but at least something. Modello Negro ain’t bad if you’re in Mexico and only have a dollar.

The first three are ersatz.....Negro Modelo is not bad. Dos Equis amber is not bad either.

Back to the original title of this thread ....
 
A comet will strike the world the day after AE is released.  Just goes to show you that the gods have a sense of humor.
 
So, AE is THE sure sign of the end of times.
 
I'll pick it up anyway.  At least I'll have a little time with it.  I can't spend All of my last hours with my wife, kids, and grandkids, can I?  I do have my priorities.  Maybe have a couple of beers, too.
 
Occasionally, and randomly, problems and solutions collide. The probability of these collisions is inversely related to the number of committees working on the solutions. -- Me.

Icehouse for the win.

Smooth, light, doesn't choke you on the way down like so many of those wretched "stout" Euro beers, and almost twice the kick of most others.....5.5% compared to the standard 3.5%.


and to all you guys with yer haughty "this is the original"....everything in the Old World is the original....that's the whole point of this being the NEW World!

That's why we have NEW York, NEW England....etc. Get the concept? [:'(][:D]

I was referring to the fact that both beers apparently "don't change color, temperature, or taste on passing through the human digestive system."

May I quote you? I am working up a doctoral thesis in support of my "Sewage Treatment" Ph.D. candidacy, and I need authoritative statements that ring of truth.

How did you ever get this s*** in your head, anyway? Were you born with it, or did you become a s***head on purpose?

Well I can tell you I was born that way, but i won't speak for Bobo.....
It doesn't make any sense, Admiral. Were we better than the Japanese or just luckier?

This really does stink, anybody know how I can get a steady supply of OB beer? I used to drink it all the time when I was stationed in Korea. I never liked Beck beer anyway!
