More proof of tasteless American beers

[Boris Godunov]

Historically, Americans are not cheap...that's part of our reputation, that we're loud, rootin-tootin', big spending yokels. That's why we're the world's second-most popular tourists--we have no concept of the value of money.

i must live in a bubble. I guess my own spending habits are much less than the "Average american"

[MRT144]

anyway the point is malt liquor is great for getting drunk

Leinie's arn't great, but they aren't crap either. They used to be a local Wisconsin beer, and when you'd go up there, you'd pick up some and bring it back to Illinois. Now you can buy them in Illinois, so they aren't so special anymore.

I think the common American beers (Rolling Rock and Bud I've had in the States) are very much like our lagers - Carling, Carlsberg, Stella Artois. In fact looking back I probably wouldn't be able to pull them apart..

There's definitely a difference between beers like Bud and beers like Carlsberg and Stella. Bud is pretty much water.

Did you read in the article about how Coors makes concentrated beer in its Colorado plant, ships it to other plants, adds water and then bottles it. No wonder its tasteless.

Had a pretty good British beer last Friday, but I can't remember the name. Starts with an R and came in a clear bottle with a pull-tab cap. Anybody know what it might be?

Ruddles?

That could be it. It either had a green tree on the label, or a green valley. Hard to remember after having a bunch. Anyways, good solid beer.
