Bad rap as far as I'm concerned bc the most noticeable fault of
American beers like Bud and Coors is the *lack* of taste - ****

There are, IMHO, some enjoyable American beers. But they're

No. It's as American as it gets. For commercial, watery, fairly
tasteless beer, it's the best of the bunch. It's great for canoeing/
kayaking because you can get it in cans.

We Americans like our beer mediocre. At the end of Prohibition there
were something like 700 commercial breweries operating in the US.
Today if you don't count the micros, there are what? Three big
nationals? Anheuser Busch, Coors and Miller and they are owned by huge
conglomerates. There are a few medium sized regional brewers like
Linenkugel and Yuengling still around, but I don't know if they're
still independent or not. We Americans don't really do beer anymore.
Or anything else, for that matter.

To me, "duff" refers to the posterior.

What do Urine and American Beer have in common?

You'd only know that if you drank urine, right?

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.)

There seems to be a big difference between Michelob on tap and in bottles
from what I've seen. A few years back, when you asked for a Mich in a
restaurant, that's what you got. It was about on a par with some of the
'better' lagers here in the UK. Now, it seems that you get a Mich Ultra by
default. Is that actually the only one from them in a bottle now? 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.

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)

Regular Mich and Mich Light are in bottles too.

It should only be drunk at 35F. 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

I'm from St. Louis (the home of Bud), and I don't drink the stuff.

You can have my share of the Stella. Next time you're here, order a

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.

Some American draught beers are really tasty.

There are a few notable exceptions.

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

The German side of my family refers to our beer as "****wasser".

Bad rap as far as I'm concerned bc the most noticeable fault of
American beers like Bud and Coors is the *lack* of taste - ****
or otherwise.

There are, IMHO, some enjoyable American beers. But they're
smaller brands - some of which are even claimed thb brewed in
accordance with the old German "Purity Law" - as in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinheitsgebot

I rather like to drink Michelob when I'm stateside, but do I recall
someone
telling me that's actually a Canadian beer ?

No. It's as American as it gets. For commercial, watery, fairly
tasteless beer, it's the best of the bunch. It's great for canoeing/
kayaking because you can get it in cans.

There seems to be a big difference between Michelob on tap and in bottles
from what I've seen. A few years back, when you asked for a Mich in a
restaurant, that's what you got. It was about on a par with some of the
'better' lagers here in the UK. Now, it seems that you get a Mich Ultra
by
default. Is that actually the only one from them in a bottle now?

Regular Mich and Mich Light are in bottles too.

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 ...

It should only be drunk at 35F. 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.

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.

I can't taste the difference between Stella and Coors.

Never mind ... :-)

Actually, there used to be a Coors beer that I liked. Was it called 'Gold'
maybe ?

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..

They don't taste anything alike. 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.

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.
