couple hours late but yesterday and tonight are blurring together.

Joke from reddit: (sic) is his/hers

"After the first day of a world brewing convention in the states, the CEO's of various brewing organisations retire to the bar.

Bruce, the CEO of Fosters, shouts to the barman: "In 'Straiyla, we make the best beer in the world, so pour me a Fosters mate.

Bob, CEO of Budweiser calls out next: "In the States we brew the finest beer known to mankind and i make the king of them all. Gimme a Bud".

Hans steps up next: "In Germany we invented das beer. Give me ein Becks, der real King of beers."

Paddy, CEO of Guinness steps forward: "Barman give me a diet coke with ice and lemon please."

The others stare at him in stunned silence, amazement written over their faces. Eventually Bruce asks: "Are you not going to have a Guinness Pat?"

To which Paddy replies "Well, if you pussies aren't drinking, then neither am I".

Well, I kicked back about 4 Irish Car Bombs to celebrate...and it only took me 5 minutes to replay to this message...and using firefox's spellchecker.

MO, you gotta try that Widmer Hefeweizen. It's sublime.

i know. i used to be hooked on corona, and a wonderful, sweeter south american pilsner, which required a citrus fruit wedge for the desirable effect. these are summertime sublimes, so i'll be looking up the W this week (it's been over 80F here, dang, perfect citrus augmented beer weather!).

Said it before, I'll say it again---I don't go for those pansy drinks, I'm a fisherman. But with Widmer, you need the lemon slice floating on top to really experience it.

(And for those playing the home game, Koke Winter is the source of that quote. He was a well-known Western US fly-fisher that broke his leg in 4 places while climbing down a scree slope in Colorado. When he went to the doctor, weeks later, the cameras were on him and the doc asked him how the skiing was. Koke replied, "I don't go in for sissy sports, I'm a fly-fisherman.")

Banj0 turned me onto that Widmere and I have to agree that it is some really good stuff.

However, my current love remains Hoegaarden. I love me some white ale. This one is served with a slice o'orange.

Also wanted to add that I'm with David. I prefer Murphy's to Guinness. Always have.
