    Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”

    One night at Cheers (TV Sitcom), Cliff Clavin said to his buddy, Norm Peterson:
    "Well, ya see, Norm, it's like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members! In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

    What I wish we could get here is the stuff I use to drink by the gallons in England: bitter. It doesn't have all the carbonation and is actually pumped out of the keg by hand. It is darker in color than a lager but lighter color than a stout and had a slight bitter taste to it. I use to drink Tetley Bitter...but there were lots of good bitter there. German weizen beer was good also (my favorite was the Hefe, crystal too strong and Dunkel too tasty so reserved only for weekend inebriations) but one can get lots of good wheat beer here in the states but, alas, no bitter... I wonder if its a law that beer has to be carbonated here in the states to ensure any bugs are dead? Yeah... I could murder of pint of bitter.

    Yeah, I hear ya about the carbonation...but you need to try a Ruination IPA by Stone Brewing. It will satisfy the bitter desire you seek.

    A Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout ain't half bad, either.

    Ha, beat me to it!!! I actually like the Cream Stout they make, but can never find it any where! I swear , it;s a conspiracy, Get Ura-Ki hooked on it, then pull it off the shelves, never to be seen again! :),

    One I found up in Portland at the Horse Brass Pub, is Grants Russian Imperial Stout! Man, one pint of that will put hair on yer knuckles! Best with some real bangers and HP sauce and sweet dejion mustard, and a real Plowmans dinner plate! And if you ever get a chance to visit them, you HAVE to have Bread Pudding and Cream with a sniffer of Remy Martian!!!

    @GrayGhost @Ura-Ki Roger lads! It is #1 on the shopping list and Logistics has been instructed to procure asap, current cost parameters do not apply. 'Ruination'...hell, I even like the name!

    EDIT: Oh! I did have a really decent stout recently, 'Irish Death.' The stuff was fantastic! I normally am not a stout guy but that stuff was nectar of the Gods.

    Damn! My mouth is watering...we would hit the 'Chippy's' after a night on the ale and finish off with chips and fish and mushy peas...never could eat those peas though, disgusting things! Must be some Brit genetic thing in order to stomach them...

    Yea, Man! Once you have tried some of the "Other" Stouts, A Guinness just isn't gonna work!
    I cant remember the name right now, but I found a really seriously awesome Dopple Bock from the Netherlands, Talk about smooth........Boy howdy, did it have a kick to it, darn near knocked me off my stool after the second pint!

    You need to try their Smoked Porter or Russian Imperial Stout...impressive, indeed! And the RIS poured over some good vanilla bean icecream...Holy sh!t! And I don't even eat sweets!

    I know I'll get flack for this but,
    I can't stand the smell of beer ,since i was a kid and dad wasn't a beer drinker either .
    The first time I smelled beer was an uncle that we would visit once in a while.
    It wasn't any thing about him but the smell of beer just turned me off.
    Sense then I've had friends that drank beer ,and I had lots of opportunity to try it with them (as a teen ) but the smell just put me off.
    I have tried other drinks, but very few hold any interest, except to have a few odd things in my stores for barter.
    I understand that beer does not store well , and since I have an aversion to the aroma, I see no need to store it.
