Worst Beer in the World

Oh not again.
Have you tried Sierra Nevada Pale Ale? Anchor Steam?
Do so, then make a decision. You just haven't traveled
enough if you think American mega-swill is worse than
swill produced in a few other countries.
The worst swill I've ever had was an unnamed murky beer
scooped out of a tub at a pivo (beer) stand in Arkhangelsk,
Russia. This was then transferred into your own container
which you had better have had the foresight to bring. The
bottled stuff wasn't much better. All the taste of American
swill with only half the hops. (ouch)

Just spent nearly the Worst Week of my life in Kansas City area. Could
not tip any beers for Charlie (and Mike if he's nice) since I worked my
ass off, had no life, got sick stayed sick for 6 days, etc. Cold weather too.
Since this is a beer forum then the girly margaritas I quaffed do not count.
BUT!!! I was so happy to get off the plane yesterday to beautiful weather!
Had a 22 oz. A.V. Barney Flats (a hoppy, Full-bodie, sour-mashed oatmeal
stout) with my meal. AWESOME as always. I was in such a state of bliss
I forgot about Charlie (& Mike) and lost myself in that nectar.
I gota go back Monday for another week in KC. Sure hope I can look up
some local quality beer joints while I am there and hope it doesn't snow!
Cheers! (esp. to hopheads and stoutheads)

Ken, you know how I feel about AV Barney Flats. I'm glad you forgot about
me! Drink something GOOD in my honor!:)
OBbeer: I've heard rumors that a brew-pub called "Barley and Oats" is
opening up in San Mateo sometime in Decemeber. Anyone heard anything?
Word of caution: watch out for police "check-points" all along the
Penninsula. Also, I saw one as I was leaving Half-Moon Bay last weekend.
Be careful out there!

Heffenweiser is sheer Heaven! You can get it on tap in both Portland and
Seattle, Washington, but having it at the local brew pub is best partially
because the food is so good! Can't wait until June 1994 so I can have it
again!
