    Admittedly, Storm King is good... but its not a Stone RIS....
    Stone RIS is more thick. Stone RIS has more of the dark, rich, chocolate/coffee flavors. Plus, Stone RIS is about 12% Alcohol... lol, you can't go wrong with that. Fezz, try the Stone RIS... I'm sure you can get it out there.

    There is a very interesting article titled "Beer 101" in the current issue of Fine Cooking magazine. Now at least I have a clue. Of course, I was savoring a wonderful Glenmorangie (neat) while reading it!

    I love this little bar near the house because it serves Pabst Blue Ribbon. Cheap and tasty!

    The best beer I have ever had was this beer called Apollo. Clean, fresh and flavorful. Found it in a neighborhood liquor store off Melrose when I lived in L.A. - can't find it anymore....

    (the beer, not the liquor store)

    And Judy - you are more woman than I to enjoy single malt that isn't served in a 45oz bottle!

    Optigrrl, see if you can find a bottle of "Midas Touch" by Dogfish Head Brewery. DFH is a brewery that does not distribute in CA, but I was able to get my hands on a bunch when I was in Arizona. I think you'll like this beer. Its reminds me of a Port Wine.

    You know, I did try that once. It was.........different. Maybe I'll give it another go. Ended up throwing it into a recipe and it turned out great!

    If anyone wants to read about the history of beer and brewing, all the way back to its origins in the "Iraq" of 3000 B.C., this is a fine web page to look at. Something to read while you're having one (or two ...) I can't vouch for the man's credentials or his accuracy, but he weaves an interesting narrative. Find it online under the title Whatever Happened to Sumerian Beer? The sidebar on the right has links to narratives by the same author about beer at other times and places throughout history. And if your interests extend beyond beer to modern history (from 1900 forward), you can find some in these recent "Rinsel episodes" on OptiBoard: "The Mine That Never Was", Wrong Way Corrigan Day and The Great Escape: What you didn't already know ...



    The Anheuser-Busch winter holiday "lineup" ... from left to right: Michelob Celebrate Vanilla Oak, Michelob Celebrate Chocolate and Budweiser Brew Masters' Private Reserve. Laramy-K Optical forum personality "isee2" reviews the Michelob Celebrate seasonal beers under the Laramy-K post titles "Vanilla" and "Chocolate". You may have to scroll up or down to see these one-of-a-kind beer tasting posts. I wouldn't look for these brews at the concession stands at a ballgame - not even at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, the city where these specialty beers are brewed.

    Tried Patagonia this weekend. It is from Argentina. It is like Corona, but a little stronger and less stunky. Not bad if you are basking in the heat.

    If you are a Corona or Heinikin fan, try Kalik a bahamean beer, it's almost like a mix of the two. I personally like Corona's especially when you are at a long event as they don't get you drunk, down side they do fill you up.

    See the one reason why I do like Corona is it is less filling that other "good" beers.

    'Oh, What is the malted liquor
    What gets you drunker quicker

    Beer!
    Can't get enough of it
    How we really love it

    I could kiss and hug it
    But I'd rather chug it
    Got my belly out to here!...'

    The video features several clips from The Simpsons to Weird Al's Beer Song.

    Here are the lyrics


    Weird Al Yankovic - The Beer Song Lyrics



    Oh... what is the malt and liquor?
    What gets you drunken quicker?
    What comes in bottles or in cans? (Beer)
    Can't get enough of it (Beer)
    How we really love it (Beer)
    Makes me think I'm a man (Beer)
    I could kiss and hug it (Beer)
    But I'd rather chug it (Beer)
    Got my belly up to here (Beer)
    I could not refuse a (Beer)
    I could really use a beer, beer, beer

    Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer

    I can't remember how much I have had
    I drank a twelve-pack with my dad (BURP!)
    That's my son the drunken manly stud
    I'm proud to be his bud
    Here have some pretzels
    No, I'll call it quits
    Those things give me the shlits (ha ha ha)

    Drink with your family
    Drink it with your friends
    Drink till you're fat, stomach distends
    Beer is liquid bread, it's good for you
    We like to drink till we spew! Ew!
    Who cares if we get fat?
    I'll drink to that

    As we sing once more...

    What is the malt and liquor?
    What gets you drunken quicker?
    What comes in bottles or in cans? (Beer)
    Can't get enough of it (Beer)
    How we really love it (Beer)
    Makes me think I'm a man (Beer)
    I could kiss and hug it (Beer)
    But I'd rather chug it (Beer)
    Got my belly up to here (Beer)
    Golly, I adore it! (Beer)
    Come on dammit, pour it!
    Do it for me, brew it for me
    Feed it to me, speed it to me (Beer)
    The most wonderful drink in the world
    HOORAY!!! (BURP!)

    Another high quality beer is Colt 45.

    If you are a wine drinker, you can have its cousin, Baby Duck.

    Or, if you prefer yer bev'rege without fizz, Babyduck's half-brother, Calona Red is sure to satisfy. (My father in law bought us a galakeg of that stuff to serve at our wedding- it got 'misplaced' somehow.)
