I'm actually not much of a beer person, but, most of those people have listed I have tried and I am partial to Sam Adams out of Boston.  Someday I hope to travel to the UK and sample some Brews there AT the correct room temperature.  Not to mention some good single malt whiskey's!

Oh yeah ozymandias! Samuel Adams is some dang good beer. I have yet to sample one that I did not immensely enjoy. I used to, in my younger days, chug down Hamms, Black Label, Schaefer, Milwaukees Best(the beast) and generic Kroger(supermarket) beer. It(Kroger beer) came in a yellow can with "BEER"
written in black letters. Oh the good ole days!!!.........I get a hangover headache just thinkin' about 'em. Hope all's well with you and the family.

All's well, despite a run of the virus attacking Carla and Amber (wife and daughter).  I'm offering prayers to Gods to keep the little critters away from me!

Getting back to beer, the ones I had at the place where you were playing, I think it was called "alligator something or other", something from Key West anyway, with a slice of Lime was pretty tasty.

Alas, I have not the tolerance of my younger days for conspicous consumption.

Re: Well, I guess we Yanks have a new President.

Kroger Kost Kutter beer "BEER" was produced by Pfalstaff and wasn't at all bad considering the price.  I consumed a fair bit of it in my college days.  That and Wiedemanns was about all I could afford.  Wiedemann's was an "acquired taste."  We used to use Kroger Kost Kutter Light as a dare penalty.  Whoever lost whatever game we were playing had to drink the Kost Kutter Light. 

Sam Adams is now produced in Pennsylvania.  Anheuser Busch bought out Rolling Rock and moved the production facility to spare capacity they had in St. Louis.  That left the Rolling Rock brewery in Latrobe available.  Sam Adams purchased it to expand their production capacity and also reduces their shipping costs to part of their distribution area.  Also puts some folks back to work in rural Pennsylvania - which definitely cannot afford to lose many jobs.  So it's a win all around.  I haven't noticed any difference in taste whatsoever.  It seems that Sam Adams brought their same high standards to the new facility.  Good water there in that part of Pennsylvania too.  It's in the Appalachians and has a lot of limestone filtered springs.  Rolling Rock was famous for its water.  Given that it's the same brewery, I suspect that Sam Adams is using the same captured springs - which is a good thing. 

I'm with you on the consumption thing Ozy.  A 12 pack used to last a night, and no more than a weekend.  Now it lasts the better part of a month.

Yeah, nowadays it's one beer on a hot summer day.  Quenches the thirst better than soda!  <grin>

I did indulge in three beers while we were in Florida at the Pub that SouthPaw played at, but I was also consuming some awesomely delicious banana bread while listening to SouthPaw play.  Good times.

Excellent!  Thanks. 

I'll keep an eye out for that one.  I like the price.  The one I've been looking at is $279 American.  That's enough to make my wallet weep for mercy.  Then again, it's only two weekends not spent in a hotel.  I should call my Congressman and invite him over to discuss a bailout while we have a couple micro-beers and sing some songs.  There, I think I've tied it all together now.

Re: Well, I guess we Yanks have a new President.

I can't get past Sam Adams though I've tried many times to like it I just can't ... Schaefer was my Dad's "cheap weekend 24-pack" beer of choice most times ... now the UK had some great beer ... I loved Newcastle and Carlsberg (Dutch) and Guiness was good too ... though I still couldn't take drinking beer at "room temperature"
