It is official. We have reached complete degeneration of this thread. tho' it really didn't have much to offer in the first place. / happy now Graham? you lowlife Bertie |

: Beer lovers who rant about $OTHER_COUNTRY's beer probably simply haven't actually been there. 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. bertie |

Just go to the chemist (drug store) and pick up cough medicine. It tastes just the same! 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. Bertie |

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. |

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. Bertie |

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. Graham |
