There are some very good beers made in the U.S., despite what Aussies
say about them. And there are some piss-poor beers made too, sorta like
Fosters.

Aussies don't have any room to talk. Their beer sucks as bad as
mainstream American beer and I sure as hell couldn't find any microbrews
the last time I was there.

Shiner Bock ain't no Bock. Get yerself a DoppelBock or a real German
Bock and a Shiner and side-by-side 'em.
Shiner is cheap mass-produced-tasting beer labeled Bock that sure ain't
no Bock.

Shiner "Bock" is reported (by Shiner) to be the #4 best-seller by some
category or another in the USA. This is good as it means it's more
likely the S-N shelf still has some Pale on it when I get there, which
is not always the case (ahem) here deep in the heart of Tejas.
Let's put it this way: when you go to the Shiner Hospitality Room,
you'll probably drink the Bock (""). Available year 'round.
Amazing, both Shiner and S-N start out with, like, water... --D-y

I had to laugh - it was quite common to see a large percentage of the
Aussie yuppies standing around in a pub drinking Budweiser.
OTOH, I don't think I ever saw one drinking a Fosters.
I guess beer tastes better when you sell it halfway around the world,
eh?

My old man grew up in TX...after he saw me sucking down a Shiner Bock
one day (pre Armstrong TdF era), he told me that he and his buddies
drank Shiner back in the day - but only if they couldn't afford Lone
Star (This is much funnier if you've ever had the misfortune of tasting
Lone Star in a can).

This one time, at a chili cook off in La Grange, I remember digging thru
the cooler HOPING to find a Lone Star Light! (Light is MUCH worse than
regular Lone Star). The only other choice was Buckhorn. If you haven't
tasted either imagine Pabst/Iron City/Falstaff that had been sitting in
a hot warehouse for a couple of years.
Hey, it's their own fault for letting (making) a broke guy (me) buy the
beer.
I apologized for years, I don't think the rest of the cook off team ever
forgave me.

I've lived in the US, and no, it doesn't. Fortunately I live in the state
where Coopers is brewed :-)
Todd Tracy
You are correct, sir. I first tasted Shiner "Bock" years ago on a
business trip to Dallas. I went out to dinner with some guys from the
company I was dealing with. One guy, who knew I liked good beer,
seemed especially proud of SB and ordered me one. "Great!", I said, "I
like a good bock." I was horrified at what the Texans' considered good
beer. Reminded me of the quote from the late Chicago Tribune columnist
Mike Royko. Describing a particularly bad beer, he said it "tasted
like it was brewed through a horse."

Please. *Those* Texans? Just those few you went to dinner with?
This obviously is something of a sore point with me, but I'll just
repeat that S-N Pale sells out (supplies somewhat limited) in my orbit.
I don't know about the Shiner, Bock or other, since I don't look there.
I guess I could make some secret marks on the cartons and see if anyone
actually buys the stuff.
> Reminded me of the quote from the late Chicago Tribune columnist

My "tasting (arrrrgh!) room" comment IRT the Shiner brewery, "you'll
drink the Bock" was meant to indicate that the Bock is far, far better
than the normal Shiner offered from the next tap over. Sure enough,
going through a horse is better than other choices in the animal
kingdom.
I guess when I first moved here I had hopes that were dashed. It's a
taste that's hard to forget. But I have. Almost.
I think the Lance-SB thing was actually kind of a joke, meant to lure
the unsuspecting.
OK, on to more pleasant subjects. --D-y

What people may or may not like is like whether or not somebody likes
how a frameset rides-VERY subjective. What is amazing to me is how
liking/disliking one beer or another somehow translates into something
more than if ya like the taste. Seems like yer not 'cool' unless ya
like some 'tastes like piss to some', small, industrious micro-brew or
another or some kinda of silly laced with wheat or something small
little beer. geeezzz, I like Mikeys and Rolling Rock and even Molsons

Dear Peter,
Never touch the stuff myself, but "beer snob" rings true . . .
Whenever I visited my sister in Massachusetts in the 70's, I was
instructed to stuff as many cans of Coors as possible in my suitcase.
Radcliffe girls knew what Harvard boys really wanted.
Nowadays, I have friends who moved to Utah and were
shocked--shocked!--to find Mormons living there, as well as some odd
liquor laws. They're delighted with kind of stuff:
http://www.inc.com/magazine/20020801/24464.html
http://www.realbeer.com/news/articles/news-001614.php
The ban against liquor ads with religious themes (aimed obviously at
Polygamy Porter) by the five Mormon members of the Utah Department of
Alcohol Beverage Control was reversed not because of any pesky First
Amendment conflict, but because the ban was voted on in a telephone
call, which violated Utah's open meetings law:

I don't drink, but I did get a handsome t-shirt out of it:

There are not that many breweries doing fruit or sweet beers as their
main beer. At my local liquor store there are usually around 15 IPAs
and only 1 framboise. The rest are regular pale ales, brown ales,
porters, stouts, wheat beers, lagers, bocks, marzens, pils, and others.
If I can at least find Stone IPA or Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I'm happy.

Dear Carl,
Reading your post at the exact moment I was taking a pull off a
recently opened bottle of polygamy porter nearly caused me to spew said
beverage through my nose.
For the record, it's a pretty good porter - could be a bit smokier &
with just a hint more carmel (sweetness), but I'll drink it (in fact, I
just did).
SYJ
PS, this is the same company that dedicated 1st amendment lager to the
beer bilboard fiasco Carl noted, and came out with 'Unofficial 2002' to
protest IOC/Budweiser's hard line on claiming that anything claiming to
be the 'official beer' of games must indeed be paying for the
priviledge (as a further protest, the beermeister would follow the
clydsdales up & down main street in Park City with a wagon full of
beer, pulled by his dog).
carl...@comcast.net
Dear SYJ,
"Utah brewer protests Clydesdale appearance "
A scheduled appearance by the Anheuser-Busch Cydesdales in Park City,
UT, recently incensed Greg Schiff, founder and president of the Schirf
Brewing Co. and operator of the Wasatch Brew Pub.
"It's a slap in our face," Schirf told the local media. Schirf has
been a visible local critic of what he sees as the corporatization of
the coming winter Olympics, and in particular, the dominant presence
of major sponsor Anheuser-Busch.
Schirf has also continued to bottle his "Wasatch Unofficial 2002 Amber
Ale", over the objections of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee.
"Yes, I realize the reality is that [Anheuser-Busch] is going to help
pay for the [Olympics] party," Schirf told the local press. "It is
just unfortunate that the city feels like they're obligated to let the
world's largest brewer pull off a publicity stunt outside the fence of
the Olympic venues. We provide jobs, we donate to nonprofits, we've
been here for years and now this huge competitor of ours is going to
come by our pub and leave horse manure on the doorstep. It adds insult
to injury."
Schirf attended a recent Park City Council meeting to object to
Anheuser-Busch's request for a permit to trot the Clydesdales and
their 100-year-old Studebaker delivery wagon through town. The Council
approved the allowance unanimously, but not before Schirf brought his
two Labrador dogs into the hearing, suggesting they be allowed to pull
a microbeer-laden toboggan up and down Main Street during the Games.
The council acceded to this request.
[A little wordplay follows, involving "dry run" and not allowing A-B
to "trample" on the local merchants.]

I'd tend to disagree with that statement, at least from my limited
perspective (I'm sure I left more than a few of the Aussie brews
unsampled). Toohey's (sp?) old style was one of my favorites, and
ranked right up there with some of my favorite beers.
Aussie wine was also a very pleasant surprise. I found that if I
spent the equivalent of US$5 on a bottle, it was a nice bottle of
wine. US$10 and it was a really nice bottle. US$15 and it would
bring a tear to my eye.

You have no use for the micro breweries, while I have.
Still, I think that Mickeys' is better than most beers,
regardless of origin, price, or reputation. It is a good

Listen, Jesus never rode more than 30 miles from Nazareth. Are you
calling Jesus myopic?
A 200 mile radius will get me to the coast and back, to the top of the
Cascades, down the Columbia Gorge -- a lot of incredible scenery. That
is not to say that I do not take my car and bike places -- particularly
since a 200 mile radius is more than I want to do these days.
BTW, in a ten mile radius, I have probably 20 microbreweries. See
http://www.oregonbeer.org/mapport.html . They might not be up to
Peter's standards, but they are pretty good. -- Jay Beattie.

20 years as a USN fighter pilot, 17 address in 20 years. have lived on
both coasts, including gulf coast, including 30 months in Japan...don't
need to drive around to see what a 'great; country it is...The
"Republic of Boulder' and it's county suits me fine plus I can use that
$30 for a tank of gold to buy a new tire.

It was a great day in the City of Pittsburgh when Tom Pastorius opened
the Penn Brewery (has it been 13 years already?). Microbreweries such
as The Foundry and Valhalla have come and gone, but one can still grab
a fine German meal of and wash it down with copious amounts of Penn
Dark.
Funny how much contract brewing for Sam Adams Iron City used to do.

Dumbass,
A brewery makes you gag?
Might you be referring to their Bigfoot Barleywine?
Porter?
Stout?
Pale Ale?
Brown Ale? (goes great with barbeque)
Celebration Ale? (seasonal)
Wheat?
Summer Ale?
S-N is not my favorite brewery by any means (that would be Stone
Brewery) but they put out decent stuff, across the board.

My usual is SN Pale. Seems kinda variable; maybe it's just me but there
have been samples where if that had been my first SNP, it would have
been the last. Their Stout, I've tried a couple of times. An insult to
the name.
Mickey's? It's been 20 years, or more. You're up! --D-y

It's 20 years 1986-2006!
My grandfather was a cooper (barrel maker) at the old E&O Brewery
(Eberhardt & Ober Brewing) until prohibition: "Drink E & O Early and
Often".
The E&O Brewery building remained vacant for many years until it opened
in 1986 as Penn Brewery. They are pretty unique among microbreweries as
they produce pilsners vs. ales. They make some very good German style
beers and great food also.
Out here on the left coast Sam Adams ran a bunch of BS ads claiming that
most breweries spill more beer than Sam Adams makes - probably very
true!
Pittsburgh Brewing Co. makers of IRON CITY has produced about 99% of the
blue label Sam Adams Boston Lager. Portland's Henry Weinhard
(Blitz-Weinhard) and Genesee Brewing Company in New York State make the
Sam Adams red and green label beers, I can't remember which is which but
read the labels.
