- Newcastle is good, but not that good, IMHO. And by me, it's rather expensive.
-
- British beer can be good, can be awful. I haven't had too many Belgian beer,
- I'm getting over that, slowly. Although I have found a few I don't like.
- Also, I have tried many Danish beer
- but the ones I have tried, I didn't care for.
-
- "Most American beers are pisswater."
-
- I don't think I agree. Most American beers your see advertized on television,
- especially nationally, is pisswater. But with the explosion of microbreweries
- and brewpubs, that's changing.
-
- Have I tried:
-
- 1) No.
- 2) Not, yet. I have seen it about so maybe I'll try it next. Although I'd
- kind of like try Thomas Hardy Ale, first.
- 3) Yes. It's nice. My favorites, though, are Sierra Nevada and Edmund
- Fitzgerald from Great Lakes Brewing in Cleveland. Edmund Fitzgerald might be a
- stout, though, I can't quite remember.
- 4) No, I can't find it here.
- 5) I didn't like it.
- 6) No.
- 7) Yes, but I wasn't too impressed.
- 8) Ah, the true beauty of Belgian beer for me. I've tried quite a few. I
- prefer the Kriek from Lindemanns. Timmermans is okay, but I like the heavy
- fruitiness that Lindemanns has. The framboise is nice, too, but the kriek is
- especially pleasant. Still, I'm sure there's much I've missed; I guess I'll
- just have to keep experimenting. ;-)
