[...] let’s say while in Dublin you go to the Shangri-La of Stout, the Guinness Brewery. Now my attitudes on beer are fairly well known, so maybe I’m not unbiased. But let’s face it, when in Rome and [...]

Oh a fine stout is a joy, now and again. Just not on a nightly basis, thanks.

Oh Mr. Ed. Take heart. There are some fine American beers available, of that there is no doubt. Some of them even inexpensive.

Take, for example, the selection of brews from New Belgium brewing. In particular, their Fat Tire is both affordable and excellent.

My primary complaint is that the mediocre beers, like Bud Light, have become so popular world wide. There is nothing wrong with Bud Light. I like it fine, I drink it more often than other beers. And you’re right. It does improve with consumption. But it is so bland… And yet, is now the #1 beer in Ireland.

Of course, that could be because the Irish are tired of chewing their beer.

I am forced, as a fellow geek who drinks on a budget, to defend the honor of american beer–particularly the cheap stuff. I will concede that foreign beer–some foreign beer–might initially have a finer taste (Corona, XX Amber, Heineken come to mind), but American beer possess a unique ability to get better the more you consume. Horse piss? That’s a touch harsh. Unicorn piss, maybe. But the second is simply cheap beer, the third decent beer, the forth–good beer, the fifth, nector of the gods, the sixth–wait a minute, where am I?
