He is not refering to Fosters which is NOT Australian for beer.


Personally I'm not partial to any of that pussy mass-market stuff. I would
suggest Arrogant ******* Ale but he's not worthy. Perhaps Old Rasputin
Imperial Stout might do him for a starter. Or do him in.

Well, let's see, what comes out of the tap at the pub is much the same as
what comes out of the bottle, and what comes out of either is very thin
compared to what came out of the tap at the pub 30 years ago, when it would
hold a spoon erect and you could write legibly in the foam, so yeah, I have
it on good authority. I have a friend who is British and made a point of
checking what was being served in Ireland on his next trip over after we
noted this discrepancy, and he tells me that what he got in an Irish pub in
Ireland had the same watery consistency as what we get in the US.

You're welcome to disagree, but anybody who has been drinking Guinness since
the '60s and is being honest will tell you that Guinness today is much
thinner than it once was.

If your pub is serving Guinness that doesn't have the foam you remember,
it's because they'er using CO2 rather than the Nitrogen they're supposed
to use for Guinness. Find a better pub, or verify that that's true.
I bet you a pint that it is.

The charging gas makes a huge difference in draft Guinness.

There are dozens of varieties of Guinness throughout the world. I'm
sure someone has a history of the specific gravities as distributed
around the world. I can buy 3 distinctly different varieties at my
corner grocery store.

But do ask your pub why they're not using Nitrogen on the Guinness.
They'd sell more if they were.

vodka is for people who can't handle wine coolers

redbull is for people who have licked the crustacean and lived to tell
about it :-)




Jugs of vodka and redbull is also the intermediary between the larger
and the spirits :P

Um, actually, Guinness isn't particularly high gravity in the context
of "really big beers".

Just been drinking it for 30 years or so and the stuff you get today doesn't
deserve to be called "Guinness Extra Stout". "Guinness Kinda Thin" maybe.

I'm not afraid to admit it. She makes me hot. Ah, but then so do Janet
Reno
and Hilary Clinton :-)


For some reason I've always liked Janet Reno. I'd dearly love to get enough
liquor down her to find out what she really thinks about Slick Willy. I
suspect that in her own mind she calls him something a lot worse than that.
And the amount of self-control Hilary must have to not either fall down
laughing every time she looks at him or just shoot him is just amazing.

about Sara Lee's White Cake, and your thoughts on whether Dryers Rocky

To answer the original question with a question: What BBC
beer are you talking about? If Boston Lager, then, yes, it's
a good beer. It is well-made (under contract), it's flavors
include the ol' time favorite hops in both flavor and aroma,
but malt also exerts her presence (in a good way, and not the
Crystal mess that is, thankfully, disappearing from the
typical brewpub red ale (leastways 'round here)).

Comparable to Arrogant ******* Ale?

It tastest like dog ****,


Thank you for that. Pure crap in a bottle.

but man it'll get you high.

Try it at cellar temperature instead of chilled.


Arrogant ******* and Double ******* suck no matter what you
do to them. "Cellar temps"... How 'bout the liberal
application of cherry extract followed by a small dose of
lactic acid followed by the conversion of AB/DB from a means-
to-a-buzz to something the local treatment plant has to deal
with? Both are no better than stupid homebrewer tricks. The
bottle is bitchin', but...
