Here be a topic about beer ... your favourite beer ..... where to find beer ...... how to make beer .... and anything else you want to mention ..... as long as it is at least remotely connected to beer!

 

 

Beer ... more than just a breakfast drink!!

[Admin Jaap]

Heineken. Selling horse's piss to the world since 1873

[Admin Jaap]

What I drink when I'm thirsty: Grolsch and Alfa beer

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

This beer is great after work .... or before work ....or even during work.

(I don't know how I know that because I've not worked a day in my life)

Old Engine Oil is hard to come by in Western Canada so my other standard is the IPA and ESB from Red Racer - http://centralcitybrewing.com/red-racer-beer/

[helicopterjim R.I.P.]

I don't drink anything from Molson's or Labatt"s ..... they use it to make Heineken (or Fosters).

Homebrewer for about 14 years now, so yeah, I likes me some beers. Like alot of hops. I don't mind cellar temps, even for a lager. Only kinds I'm not wild about are light yellow and fizzy (the crap so many of my countrymen actually believe to be BEER), those flavored with fruit, or rauchbiers and radlers.

 

Beer, literally the most important discovery in the development of civilization. Without beer, we'd probably all be dead, or at least bored to death. Water can be deadly and look fine. Beer is always safe, and if it's spoiled you'll know it. It's why mankind stopped being a nomadic people, and became farmers and settled land owners.  It's the very reason the original colonists to the "new world" pulled their ships over to the shore. According the the ship's captain's log, they needed to make more beer! Refrigeration? All originally funded, invented and perfected to chill commercially produced beer! Bottling, and commercial food storage? All envisioned originally with beer transportation as the goal! It has medicinal properties, and is packed with nutrients.  The list of contributions to our civilization that are directly attributable to beer is astounding, so pay your respect to this most wonderful, life-giving elixir! Crack one open, relax, and have a beer!

I've oft repeated the misquote attributed to Benjamin Franklin that, to wit, "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

 

*For the record, here, in a letter addressed to André Morellet in 1779, is what Benjamin Franklin actually did say:

 
"Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy." (*from David Emery About.com/Urban Legends)

 

I take it as meaning, essentially, the same thing.

 

So, here's to rain.   And, thereby, also beer!
