If your ever in Austin check out Uncle Billy's Brew and Que located @1530 Barton Springs Road. They got a dark coffee stout kinda a cross between Guinness and espresso. Good for last call and the trip home and for breakfast of champs!

Coachlaw doesn't always drink beer, but when he does, he prefers to drink Dos Equis!

If I want a good Mexican beer, I'll choose a really good one. Carta Blanca is the best of the lighter brews, though Dos Equis has great commercials, I think their product is inferior. Negro Modelo is great in colder weather.




By the way, when did MEN start putting FRUIT in BEER?????? Sounds highly metrosexual.

Gosh, nobody said Lone Star? This must be some Commie liberal forum err somethang!

For good beer, I might get Dogfish 60 or a Belgian Abbey beer, love near all the good labels and extra credit if it's MADE IN THE USA.

I used to be a home brewer and my two favorites for wedding parties was beer-mead or a double Irish stout.

The mead wasn't girlie ... heckuva kick ... I had cowboys begging for more of that stuff!

German beer purity law or Reinheitsgebot (originally enacted in 1516), permitted only
four ingredients in the beer: water, hops, barley, and yeast.
Germans claim that the law protected public health from harmful
additives and public interest from misrepresentative advertising.
Though officially lifted in 1987 after an EC ruling, the purity
law's tradition continues in Germany.

No preservative, chemicals or other additives so it's got to be good for you and the more the better. lol

You know your stuff, Lori, and you're totally right. But there are some like the Saison, the old Cellis Grand Cru and related white beers, and some other spiced and fruited beers that are quite good. There used to be a Sam Adams Christmas Beer that was slightly spiced, not a bad brew, either. Coffee beer like from up by Seattle was a trip. Maybe us homebrewers, micro-brewers, and regional beer companies are an eclectic bunch, always made the old standby recipe with German purity and all, and then a "special" beer. Often the special beer was a smash hit and the regular kind was ho-hum. I think it's because some super-beers have a good nose, creamy bubbles, higher alcohol content, cleaner taste and aftertaste.

Just saying that while the Germans invented Reinheitsgebot, they also invented super-beers as well, a good thing. For example I did a "candied" beer with dextrose sugar and got a second fermentation one time, enough to boost the alcohol to slightly over 10 percent ABV. Doing the same thing with a bucket of honey with a mix of Abbey and champagne yeast could boost you over 14% ABV. In fact, I liked super-beers so much I had to quit brewing before my liver fell out my Ess.

Gawd, the travesties we used to do. One of the best beers I made was a regular beer recipe with a bunch of corn thrown into it. Put that in open buckets outside and let the natural yeasts infect the beer. Oh gosh is would stink like diapers after a bit, a whole Dempsey Dumpster of soiled baby bombs. Once you get the wort off that, however, it turns into a wonderful concoction known as Sour Beer. Sour beer is great but is more known to make Kentucky and Tennessee whiskeys and bourbons if you had a distiller thingy - sour mash whiskey and Jack Daniels uses charcoal in their "beer" too. Nope, nothing Reinheitsgebot there!

Happy Labor Day. Sam out, going to the beach.

Sorry folks, but there are only THREE kinds of beer, no matter what you have heard:

Canned, Bottled or Keg.

Receipt for Pompion Ale: Let the Pompion be beaten in a Trough and pressed as Apples. The expressed Juice is to be boiled in a Copper a considerable Time and carefully skimmed that there may be no Remains of the fibrous Part of the Pulp. After that Intention is answered let the Liquor be hopped cooled fermented &c. as Malt Beer.

This recipe for pumpkin beer dates back to a recipe George Washington used in about 1771 - who by the way was a master beer brewer and whiskey distiller himself. Pumpkin simply supplied a bunch of starchy sugars like if you ran out of barley, wheat, and other beer goodies.

Cool to know that our original colonists were all good at making booze, and our Founding Fathers all made or drank gallons of hootch. The local water wasn't suited for drinking at all - which is why if they drank it, it was as boiled tea, coffee, or booze. Water killed people! Still does, too. Don't drink the stuff folks ... lol.
