Damn, I forgot I tried some other beers this weekend:

Nectar IPA, which was a really spicy and good drink! Had it on tap, nice 1" head, fruity, deep orange coloration. Crisp IPA, not too strong.

Also had Anything Gose:

Super crisp, super tart, light beer, I had this with lunch and enjoyed it a lot. Almost a little salty! This is the first 'Gose' style beer I've ever had, didn't even know it existed before now.

@Cycloptichorn,
I've drank so many beers from around the world, I couldn't keep track for their individual characteristics if I tried! All I know is whether I like it or not when I drink it. I'll drink Guinness in any country where I find it, but usually prefer the local beer.

Had some Efes beer in Kusadasi, Turkey, recently.

Yeah, I will not be joining them in the Jacuzzi. For beer drinking or any other purpose.

Actually, I would think that would be a singularly bad place to taste beer - too much heat and steam for the sense of smell to work properly, not to mention the potential contamination of various chemical fumes on one's palate.

One advantage, apparently it somehow increases one's capacity

Interesting fun fact from yesterday's (1/13/13) Jeff Kacirk's Forgotten English word of the day calendar:
Daniel Fenning wrote:
Milkscore
[AKA] Zythogola, a word used ... to signify a mixture of beer and milk.

published in the Royal English Dictionary, 1775.

Has anyone ventured into milk and beer cocktail territory?

@Ticomaya,
Yes, it's called 'Let's drink what's left in the fridge when the party's about finished.'

To the contrary, we of the Greater Southwest Beer-Tstin g Society find it most ideal. For one thing warmth faster dissipates the alcohol, making possible more tastings per session

A few members however do object to slight chlorine arising therefrom

Arsenic In Beer May Come From Widely Used Filtering Process

@tsarstepan,

"One reason that chemists are now discovering arsenic in beer is that testing methods are much more precise than in decades past, Boulton says, detecting low levels of naturally occurring elements that have always been in food products."

. . .

Indeed, scientists have some work to do to find out if diatomaceous earth really is causing problems with arsenic in beer and wine.

"The proper study would be to compare unfiltered beer to filtered beer, beer filtered using diatomaceous earth, beer filtered using perlite, beer filtered using cross-flow filtration," says Charlie Bamforth, a professor of brewing science at the University of California, Davis. He's skeptical that diatomaceous earth could be causing troubling levels of contamination.

Abandoning diatomaceous earth altogether won't guarantee there's no arsenic or other heavy metals in beverages, UC Davis wine expert and chemical engineer Boulton told The Salt. "The sense that if you didn't use diatomaceous earth, there would be no heavy metals in beer at all is a little out of touch with nature."

@tsarstepan,
There had been a report about this in 2009 - the fact was knon already before.

When this news was published in Germany, the headlines were "Less arsenic in beer ...."

Sounds like they would have loved the (probably apocryphal) story of the canners of white salmon and pink salmon.

The White Salmon people supposedly advertised: "Guaranteed not to turn pink in the can."

The other group countered with: "We use no bleach in our product."

"Less arsenic!"

"Tastes great!"

How about kidney

My nephrologist says mine is half gone and that I should cut my weekly regimen of 7 brews in half

Fat chance

Pretty hard to use a hacksaw to cut the glass, isn't it?
