Well at least Sloww knows Newcastle.
More than I can say for most of the goths drinking it.

I tend to prefer Pilsners.

Is that link correct? I thought the singular possessive was cat's (meaning something which belonged to the cat) while the plural possessive was cats' (meaning something which belonged to the many cats or to all cats.

You may have misread as the final expression is not about possessives.

[Dinner]

I see, their example was wrong for plural.

[Dauphin]

Cats' would be correct for a plural possessive.... I'm not sure where you think there is an error though, they don't attempt to use a plural and possessive in the same example.

I drink Löwenbräu lager from the brewery across the street. Cheap and good enough for me. Sometimes, especially when it's hot, I drink wheat from the same brewery.

Why? What's wrong with Newcastle Brown? The stuff is delicious. The only brown ale I've ever had that was better was Oregon Brown Ale.

All ales are beers. The other type of beer is a lager. It all depends on whether you use top fermenting yeast or bottom fermenting yeast. Ale = top, lager = bottom

wtf is lambic

I guess there is one type I never tried


btw: avoid obsidian stout

[chequita guevara]

Lambic is a very distinctive style of beer brewed only in the Payottenland region of Belgium (southwest of Brussels). Similar beers produced outside of this area are usually known as "Lambic-style" or "Plambic" (short for "pseudo-lambic"), although this is purely a voluntary distinction made out of respect to the original.

Unlike conventional ales and lagers, which are fermented by carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts, Lambic beer is instead produced by spontaneous fermentation: it is exposed to the wild yeasts and bacteria that are native to the Senne valley, in which Brussels lies. It is this unusual process which gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, with a slightly sour aftertaste.

It's the 3rd type of beer.

Nothing is wrong with it. It's just not that big in my part of the world, (i.e. south east England) and I know of no-one who drinks it, yet seems very popular in the US. It's the 'Big in Japan' phenomenon that I find amusing.

[Addled Platypus]

forgot to mention my newest find here in the USA

Well, you know our major brands suck, so if something good comes along . . .

When my buddy went to Ireland to visit family, all his cousins there wanted to drink American Budweiser. He was like, screw you. I didn't fly 5,000 miles to drink ****e beer. We're drinking Guiness.
