OMG, that is so true. And don't forget that beer that is old continues to increase in alcohol over time. One time, a buddy and me drank this 2-year old Budweiser that we found in the basement and I swear this stuff was so strong we got totally eff'd up!Also, any beer darker than Bud Light is kind of like Guinness, which by the way, is so strong and high in alcohol that it will eff you up twice as fast.

Instant classic.At our pub last week, some couples came in — Japanese guys with their Chinese girlfriends. They saw our bartender Chris and assumed he didn’t speak Japanese well, so the girls came up and ordered in rudimentary English. When Chris asked what kind of beer they wanted and started explaining our nine regulars and three or four seasonals, they kept insisting they wanted beer, not regulars or seasonals. He just randomly poured them some beers and they were happier than shit. Every time they came up, he gave them different beers, and at the end of the evening, they thanked him saying that our beer was delicious and next time they’d try some of the regulars and seasonals.

classic....I had a girl come in and said she only drank new castle but we didn't carry the 6 pack cans and she just had to have a beer in cans...So my closest suggestion of a beer in cans was Old Chub.....she came back the next day to pick up some more and said that you for enlightening me.At our pub last week, some couples came in — Japanese guys with their Chinese girlfriends.

mmmm - fishy smelling chinese ladies!Getting more and more common these days. Lots of Chinese are coming to do factory work and working in the Fishmarket area, and as more and more of them come, more and more Japanese guys are falling for them.

sorry guys - got side tracked.fact: most people don't know a lot about beer. I've run into a few people at work who have dabbled in homebrewing. A little information is a dangerous thing.Ha, Zym wants to get the thread locked.

Amen.My one BIL insists on comparing everything to Killians. I know he likes it, but why does he do this? He'll try a few of my beers and say, "This one is sort of like Killians" and then he'll try another one and say, "Now this one, it doesn't taste anything like Killians!". I just nod my head over & over.sorry guys - got side tracked.fact: most people don't know a lot about beer. I've run into a few people at work who have dabbled in homebrewing.

Now I don't mind newcastle brown ale but there are a couple of guys I know who seem to love it. One suggested I try making something like it. My first thought was, make brown ale, water it down. Serve!When folks ask for "dark" beer I have learned to ask "how dark". Often it's Newcastle Brown.

I'm not sure how some people got the idea that killians was a good beer. The fact that it isn't actually an ale kind of bothers me.Amen.My one BIL insists on comparing everything to Killians.
