    I am foaming at the mouth

    This is NOT the place to talk about, of all things, liquid evil. I am indignant that I am now compelled to discuss the deep amber color and thick milky head of the Guinness Draught that has been sitting in my refrigerator. It is a deeply personal relationship that I have with Guinness and now I hear its voice, albeit muffled, in the fridge calling me. I can hear it sing as it rolls out of the neck of the bottle and crashes so sweetly in the frosted glass, its perfume tickling my nose. I listen with quiet ears as it sighs resting now freed in the open air tempting me with it siren song. She is cold and beckons my lips gently. I must go. She is my Guinness and I am her man.

    Wow, this is eerie: I know someone who writes in your style. Could you possibly, maybe, be one of our strayed OB fold who's come back under a different name in a different country?????

    Well being Irish beer is a drink I must indulge in as often as I can. As of late I've really been into Mexican beer (Corona and Modelo).

    If I could only have beer from one brewery, I would go with the Anchor Brewery in San Francisco. They ship more beer than many "craft" breweries, but less than Miller, Coors, Budweiser and the like. Anchor Steam, Anchor Liberty (ale) and Anchor Porter. They're all good in the 12-ounce bottles and in the San Francisco region, Anchor Steam is frequently available on tap and sometimes also the Liberty Ale.

    There's a thread about beer on the Laramy-K Optical forum. Many of the posts are only because a beer has a "catchy" name or packaging, but a number of the posts are actual taster "results". It's "on tap" at Beer Of The Day.

    I am always surprised to see how many Guiness lovers who have never had the pleasure of tasting some of the other(better) Irish Stouts, like Murphy's.

    Redhot Jumper Statistics Canada..............Lots of Beer

    Quote Originally Posted by For-Life View Post

    More alcohol

    Beer use, which makes up about 80% of all alcoholic beverages consumed, rose somewhat to 77 litres per person (over 15 years of age) in 2006. At the same time, the intake of wine has continued to increase over the last ten years reaching 13.9 litres each in 2006. Spirit consumption, at 7 litres per Canadian, remained comparable to a year earlier.
    These levels may be understated since they do not include home made and brew-on-the-premises wine and beer or contraband alcohol.

    The Dixie Brewery of New Orleans is putting itself back together after its near total destruction during Hurricane Katrina. Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager is a dark, heavily malted lager with a slightly sugary undertone. Carbonation is on the low side. It's not too different than a stout or a porter, but those are ales, made with top fermenting yeasts. Voodoo Lager (true to its name) is lagered, using a slower, bottom fermenting (lager) yeast, which makes it a little smoother; a little less ostentatious on the taste buds.

    Select ("click") image to enlarge.

    I had one cold from a 12-oz. bottle. It's good, for a bottled beer. If you can find it drawn fresh from a tap then run don't walk to have one. The conclusions of real beer drinkers are systematically archived online ...

    Cose de stuff made in de South is good.

    One of my favorite beers and as rule I don't like beer.
    Not quite as good as the old Jax Bock, but alas the Jackson Brewery company (in which Dixie Brewery is now located) has passed.
    Also miss Dixie Beer which I think used to be made there.

    Interesting enough, at our golf course our beer sales fell with green fees (very rainy summer), but our liquor sales were up 50 percent.

    You know the saying..."when in Rome". I think every city in China has at least one brewery (only slight exageration) so I typically drink the local brew. Changzhou has a nice green beer that maintains the color throughout the experience.

    As much as I like discussing beer, at 6:20 in the morning it is time to start gulping down some extra strength coffee.

    My favorite beer is Orval, followed closely by Maredsous Dubbel. I also enjoy a very highly hopped ale like Bigfoot Barleywine. Crap, patient just walked in. Back to work.

    So..................what is on tap at your place?

    What are you drinking at your local taproom?

    What gets your taste buds popping at your local lounge?

    Lets hear and drink beer!

    Yuengling is a fine lager (I assume that is what you have on tap). It goes down smooth and easy and actually has some taste to it! I usually try to keep a few sixers of them in the beer fridge. I find most people like them. If you can find it in your area, try their Lord Chesterfield Ale. It is a decent ale with a bit of "snap" to the taste. I like drinking that on Sundays. I tell my wife that I don't need no stinking church, because I am hanging with the Lord! The brewery is only about an hour 1/2 away from me, but I have never been there.
