It is official. We have reached complete degeneration of this thread.
tho' it really didn't have much to offer in the first place.

Quite true. Even within the US there's a grass is greener mentality that
views the beer from a couple of states over as some sort of nectar of the
gods while the locals wouldn't wash their cars with it.

I agree. The heavy ones are crap. Those trappist things in Belgium are
thick,sweet and way too heavy. I did buy a can of "Pink Elephant" (12.5%)
just for the cool can, though.

Yes I remember when Coors wasn't available right of Texarkana and we in
Arkansas thought it was the nectar of the gods.

As a side note when Arkansas did get Coors it was still unpasteurized
(or what ever process they now use to let it be shipped warm) and was
shipped refrigerated. I first saw it in a Safeway here on a big display
sitting in front of the west facing window. Word is the entire display
went bad pretty quick.

Hmm. Didn't know that was one of the reasons they didn't sell coors in the
east. I brought back a huge shipment in the back of a twin beech when I did
a trip to Oklahoma once. My boss paid for it all. It was enough to just
about fill the taxi that took me to the airport.

Try finding anywhere selling mild other than at beer 'exhibitions'. I have
never known ANYONE to drink it.

A number of the pubs here have Bushy's Mild (about 3.5% abv), which is a
very enjoyable drink. Especially if you're spending the night at the pub
and don't want to get bladdered.

Exactly.


There's a lot more to the enjoyment of beer than alcohol content.

That's very true. Another tactic is to alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic
drinks.
