beer

Does anyone here appreciate and respect a nicely crafted beer? I'm a brew lover and homebrewer, and I'd love to compare notes with others.

Incidentally, I've been a nudist (female) longer than I've had a beer gut, and I never once gave up that second beer in the sun or lamented, "I'm FAAAAT!" Nudism rocks!

hi Karren been to a couple of beer festivals in Scotland

Lots of micro breweries of here

If you want to talk beer try me

[Ewan M]

I didn't like beer at start and then as I tried foreign beer I realised the local had a metalical taste to it.

It was Australian Castlemaine XXXX that helped me realise there was better stuff out there.

A local mob found a Roman recipe made out of heather and began to bottle it (they called it Freuch).

I like Boston Ale, very drinkable

Rock on, nude beer drinker.

Home brew, do you export.

I like the German wheat beers.

Dutch Hooegarten is good too. Cost me £5 for a poxy pint in a trendy beer cellar.

Budvar is cool

Sorry Ewan, BELGIAN Hoegaarden!!

Well, we're rather fortunate to live in New England where there are a lot of brew-pubs. My favorite is the Cambridge Brewing Company and they're just starting to export their brews to area pubs.

Another one in the Boston area - the Boston Beer Works, across the street from Fenway Park. They have a very good ale called "Victory Red", and also make an IPA that will kick you down the stairs.

Here in my hometown in NE Mass., there is also a brew pub.

My favorite commercial brew is Fuller's ESB. They also make a more potent brew (I think it's called 1845) which is sold in a 19.2 US Fluid Oz. bottle - which coincidentally happens to be an imperial pint.

This area isn't England, but it isn't bad for crafted beer, either. If you get to a Maine Coast gathering -- next one is Jan 8 - wife and I are going -- look us up, we can talk beer. Can't bring you a Fuller's because glass bottles are frowned upon in the facility in Ogunquit (drop a bottle in there - all hell would break loose), but I'll bring a bottle of ESB and leave it in the trunk for you.

And at Eastover, there wasn't a session on home brewing in 2005 but there may be one in '06 because the guy who conducted it in the past is tentatively planning to be there.

Last but not least, do not worry about the effects on one's body of enjoying fine food and drink. I live next door to one of the best butcher shops in the country (Butcher Boy, North Andover, MA). I have seen your senior senator there - one Ms. Snowe, load her car up with ice chests full of Butcher Boy meats. People come from hundreds of miles away for it.

So I've put on a pound or two? Ah, it was a quality of life decision. A prime Delmonico, medium on the grill, with balsamic red potatoes, fresh collard greens, vestedda bread from Tripoli Bakery in Lawrence, and Carnegie Deli cheesecake for dessert.

Two Fuller's ESBs to wash the dinner down. Chock Full o'Nuts New York blend or Cafe Bustelo to go with the cheesecake.

I have to put my order in --- Nude Year's Eve is coming...

Duh, it is so strong stufff Hooegarten can only be Belgian. Those guys really know how to brew a mean brew.

Got to watch out for the beer droop.

Fullers ESB, man you are so tempting me.

Try chocolate beer, but an acquired taste.

I have made various types of wines in the past,but no beer. I used to be a beer drinker in my early 20's and after I started working steady, many of the old timers drank whiskey, most of the time straight. I acquired a taste for good Tenessee or Kentucky sour mash, preferably straight myself and have never looked back. It is enjoyable making home brew if one has the time and inclination though!

Think about it fellas beer and horse piss are made in the exact same manner out of the same ingredients.

They smell the same and look the same, why else do you think Budweiser uses Clydesdale horses as their advertising mascots. They are telling you, you are drinking horse piss and paying them to rent it. And they are laughing all the way to be bank as well.

Wow, I think I'll have a beer later today!
But, why is my Budweiser stock trading closer to its 52 week low than its high?

[tomkojohn]

I also brew beer and especially enjoy Belgian Ales! I usually make stouts as they tend to be easier to get right without a lot of special equipment.

Enjoy a naked beer!

Happy New Years!

Not to mention the Clydesdales KILLER road apples!!


In all seriousness (from me?), brewing beer and baking bread are very similar. With baking bread, one starts out with an excess of solids, allows the yeast to rise (ferment) then bake away the remaining liquids. With brewing, the liquids are in excess before the yeast ferments then one brews the liquids.
