which beer is the best in the world?

Here's one I sang earlier.....

It is for this non-Brit.

I reel if someone hands me a chilled Guinness (Love Draught ... don't care for Extra Stout), but that's about where I draw the line on needing the brew to be celler temps. That being said, I can't say I've tried an IPA (or other ale) not chilled, so I will need to conduct my own taste tests.

And I'm definitely going to try the Ranger IPA ... thanks Pan!

Here in Germany (though we don't have long history and tradition in beer-drinking ) all beers are drawn between 7° and 9°C (44.5° - 48°F), Weizen a bit cooler.

(And nearly all beers, bottled or from the tap, are non-pasteurised.)

I saw that, and I saw Lagunitas, and considered buying either one of them .... but in the end I got myself .....

I finally tried a Fosters. I needed some beer to make a certain recipe's tortillas with (masa and ap flour + beer), and didn't want a whole carton. We'll see. I happen to despise New Mexico's texas like tortillas, big fatty puffy things, yaaack. I only needed a little bit of beer for the recipe so put it in a jar to fit, and drank the rest.

Anyway, I haven't made the tortillas yet (such a production) but liked the Fosters ok. (I read on some website that the kind of tortillas I like, thinner, are the kind made in Sonora, Mexico. What do I know, but that sounds right.

Played a wine bar that had a cooler located conveniently behind the stage.
Saw a bottle of Dogfish Head 90 minute so I tried one. Wow!
Spectacular. Couldn't drink more than one though...way too rich.

I think it was in the NYer that I saw a whole long article on the Dogfish Head folks a few years ago now. Don't see those bottles in my local market.

Me neither...only in some bars.

...his own.

Heh, heh.
That reminds me of the old banking adage:
"Jesus saves"

Speaking of saving, Total Wine and More just opened a few stores in Washington state. The variety of spirits is tantalizing and the prices are wallet fattening. Be sure to check it out if one pops up in your area.

How convenient! I sampled some Dogfish 60 minute the other day. And thought ..... meh. Is the 90 minute that much better?

Samuel Smith's Organic Cherry Fruit Beer

Nice and tart. Perfect when chilled.

Speaking of savings..state of Washington is getting ready to open up those recreational marijuana stores Neo.
Give us a run-down

I graduated a few years before pot took over campus. Otherwise, I'm sure I would know a lot more.

But I promise to report as an impotial observer

They're the best kind

I recommend a book, "The History of the World In Six Glasses" by Tom Strandage.

Sampling one of these. It was a Christmas present

Quite dark, pours well, not too frothy, a lot of body, it says coffee and chocolate notes on the bottle and I agree, bit like Mackeson.

The froth usually turns into solid beer!
