Beer
There is a program on History Channel right now on beer. Some really smart people are saying that the cultivation of grains to make beer over 4000 years ago was the first seeds of civilization. I KNEW THAT!!! And I'm not a smart man.
(See how smart I am? I used seeds and cultivation in the same sentence.

Foolishly I clicked on the thread, thinking there would be a serious discussion about one of my favourite subjects.
Then why am I not surprised when it isn't?.................because it's TRF and I love it.

Adrian being a Brit will know this but Britain during the industrial revolution largely escaped wide outbreaks of water born diseases because of the preference for the working classes to drink tea and beer rather than water. Us Brits like carrying on traditions Heres to all the British and Irish breweries Licensing laws were only introduced into Britain in WW1, because the government wanted to control the drunken working classes consumption which was effecting the war effort OK guys carry on with the jokes |

24 hours in a day, 24 cans in a case. Coincidence, I think not.

If I want good American beer I will drink Samuel Adams or a microbrew, forget the Bud, Miller or Coors

In Britain there is an organisation called Campaign for real ale (Camra) which has helped to revive interest in regional and smaller breweries. Camra was set up in the 1970's as a response to the large breweries trying to kill off local and smaller brewers.

Thought I would hop back in here and I see I barley made it. There are some good American beers on the market now with the advent of the many local micro breweries popping up all over the country. I really like trying their offerings in my travels. It's not all water. Although, I will admit 6 or 8 Coors Lights on the golf course are pretty refreshing. Just hate restocking at the turn.

I believe the guys who built the pyramids got free beer. Now that must have been a good contract to be on. I'll have to ask JJ what it was like.

Nothing as good as an ice cold beer on a hot day

While I usually enjoy a better American beer (Summit, Sierra Nevada, etc.), sometimes there's no substitute for the refreshment of a PBR. My wife who ususally hates beer has taken a liking to Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy. http://www.leinie.com/summer_shandy.html My business takes me to Milwaukee pretty frequently, so I'm also drinking Miller products with clientele.

Also, I saw on television yesterday that the vehicles used at the Democratic National Convention in Denver will be powered by ethanol distilled from beer, courtesy of Coors.

Yup! I also think it's fun about the little ball in the can that ruptures to give it more foam!
