Beer

My beverage of choice and it should not come in a can if I'm drinking it! All hand crafted beers are of interest to me, yes I'm a beer snob. Sorry "Budwiper" your not even good for washing down a Dodger dog. I tried a beer called "SUDDEN DEATH", the english translation, It's a Belgium beer. Honestly it tasting bad, I was in Europe on a business trip and was tired of french wine. So I took an old fashion American "road trip" that turned into 1,000 bottles of beer on the wall (maybe I'll send pictures). Me and a friend toured five countries in six days trying every new beer we could find. I was never the same again and have refrained from any beer severed in a can since. I called it my beer "education adventure" and learned what I grew up on, was by definition not even beer!

"Budwiper" I assume you are talking about "Mudwerster"??????

Samuel is my beer of choice and always on hand! Budweiser is to me "Butwiper" frequently used while on outdoor adventures as a personal hygiene cleaner for external use only!

Stone and Lagunitas are two breweries that currently are at or near the top of my list. Arrogant Bastard (Stone) was already mentioned, but they have a handful of others that are great (great IPA). I also love the Hop Stoopid from Lagunitas, along with some of their other offerings. Closer to home, here in Georgia we're finally starting to get a nice craft beer movement going and several new microbreweries and brewpubs are getting underway. One of the best I've tried out of that group was an IPA from a tiny brewery in Kennesaw, GA called Burnt Hickory Brewery. They actually had two IPA's that I thought kicked some serious a$$. Nantahala Brewing Company in Bryson City, NC has a great IPA too. Sweetwater IPA on draft is good too (been hit or miss in bottles in my experience for whatever reason).

If I've been working and just need to drink a beer to cool down (after scrapping, mowing, gardening, whatever), I have no problem with something lighter. Also when eating hot wings - just seems a waste to drink an IPA or other "heavier or hoppier" craft beer when your mouth is on fire.

Never Budweiser, though ..... shoooooooooooo
