the Brits or does the word duff in the USA have the same meaning? To me, "duff" refers to the posterior. |

I am, by the way, a teetotaler.
The story goes that American beers were once "better". But during WWII, they were lightened to appeal more to females, who had become a larger percentage of the drinking population (the males being away at war). No reversal to the original taste occurred after the war. Coors is certainly among the worst major brands. In my light-drinking days, I tasted Coors and decided I'd rather drink plain water. "Sam Adams" makes strong claims for the quality and character of their beers. One of their light beers supposedly won a first prize in a German contest where there was no light-beer category. There is a "Discovery" series "Brewmasters", though the title should be "Brewmaster", as the focus is on a single brewery, Dogfish Head, which makes all sorts of beers that would never pass the German purity standards. (What is this about Germans and purity, anyway?) Dogfish Head is an odd company that doesn't seem to be paying attention to simple common sense. In one episode they discover that a filler tube on one machines has disappeared, presumably into a bottle. Not wanting to discard the run, which would cost them thousands of dollars, they open the cases and check the bottles one by one. I was startled. Most food companies have a metal detector somewhere near the end of the line to prevent such problems. (I might give them a call.) |

I don't get over there often enough to really know. I found the Ultra a bit of an 'acquired taste'. It certainly tastes a lot weaker than other versions that I had previously drunk, but doesn't actually seem to be. It is a lot less 'rounded' in taste - a bit thin and 'crisp' - but never-the-less, quite a pleasant refreshing drink with a meal. Once you've let it warm up just a bit from the almost-frozen state that it gets delivered to your table in, that is ... For plain old 'throwing a few beers down your throat' it's hard to beat good old Bud. Just about strong enough to qualify, and quite a pleasant taste. Bit gassy, but tolerable. Do you get Stella Artois over there ? Or Kronenbourg 1662? They are nice tasty lager beers. Arfa |

In Britland it mainly means inferior as well as the posterior (perhaps more usually here as a ladies front-bottom, to be twee. Strange the related UK/USA useage of the word fanny) |

Canadian breweries have been making American brands for year, apparently cross-border TV ads have stimulated demand for "The Silver Bullet" etc. Then you have the strange case of Minhas Craft Brewery: The former Huber Brewery of Wisconsin was bought out by immigrants to Canada, who benefit from NAFTA by brewing beers there for the Canadian market. Minhas also makes beer for Trader Joe's -- $3 for a sixpack of cans. TJ's used to carry Huber products back in the day. |

Mich Ultra is mostly just water, ethanol and CO2. You can mix one 12 oz bottle of Ultra with 4 oz of Guiness Extra Sout to get a decent pint without a lot of carbs. For plain old 'throwing a few beers down your throat' it's hard to beat good old Bud. I'm from St. Louis (the home of Bud), and I don't drink the stuff. Just about strong enough to qualify, and quite a pleasant taste. Bit gassy, but tolerable. Do you get Stella Artois over there ? Or Kronenbourg 1662? They are nice tasty lager beers. You can have my share of the Stella. Next time you're here, order a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, or some other beer called American pale ale. Arfa --Bryan I'm actually there in a coupla weeks' time. I'll give it a shot. I've never actually heard of America doing a 'pale ale'. IPA or India Pale Ale used to be very popular here some years back, when everyone drank 'proper' beer, but it's mostly lager beers that are the popular drink now. Most pubs and bars still sell beer as well as lager, but a fair bit of the proper beer now, is what they call 'real ale'. Any effervescence that it has is from fermentation gas dissolved in the beer, rather than from added CO2, used to drive the stuff out of the keg, and up the pipe to the tap on the bar. This ale is 'pulled' up the pipe by a hand operated lift pump. Arfa |

Arfa When Coors first appeared around here in New England, it was a fine tasting beer, because it was shipped in from the main place I guess.. Then some one thought it would be a nice thing to have it made closer to home.. So they started to bottle it in N.Y., it tasted like a generic crap beer after that.. If you went to the packy, you could still get it from where it was originally made, but not in too many places like bars etc.. |

I'm no fan of Stella, but Coors is much worse. --Bryan When I was a youngster they did not sell Coors here (WA), so people would drive over the mountains to Idaho to buy it. They would come back with a trunk full of the stuff and it was a big thing to go to a "Coors party". The first time I got to taste one I said "if we did not have horse **** here would you drive to Idaho to buy it"? They were quite offended and needless to say I was no longer invited to any more Coors parties. My loss I'm sure. The only decent thing I've seen from Coors, were the three Sony 1" VTRs we bought form their advertising department for a TV station in Orlando. -- For the last time: I am not a mad scientist, I'm just a very ticked off scientist!!! |

wrote: I am, by the way, a teetotaler. The story goes that American beers were once "better". But during WWII, they were lightened to appeal more to females, who had become a larger percentage of the drinking population (the males being away at war). No reversal to the original taste occurred after the war. Another reason was because ingredients were in shorter supply due to rationing. IIRC, almost no beer was sold in cans during the war because they were metal, which was also in short supply. Even packs of Lucky Strikes turned white because the green they had been using for their label was derived from copper which was needed for the war effort. |

I don't get this light beer thing. What is the point? Beer
should have some body and flavour. You don't have to drink it until it's coming out your nose. It's a social thing. Shmoozing with your buddies for hour after hour, while downing beer after beer, is a mark of True Masculinity. So a lower-calorie beer seems desirable. There was a short-lived low-carb beer in the late 60s, long before low-carb became a trend. I remember seeing the ads in New York, but I don't remember the name. |

The day we passed through Bruges we ended up staying in Ypres. It was a hot summer day and I ordered a glass of beer. It was incredible. I was too busy enjoying the best beer of my life to find out what it was. It was incredible. |
