Being Italian, wine would be my alcoholic beverage of choice. However, since I have a very low tolerance for alcohol, beer is a much better option - but it must be really good (no Budweiser for me, I'm afraid

if that was the stuff that ONE glass had you and me, on a full stomach, staggering down the streets of Georgetown... then I'm changing my vote. Newcastles are good.. but can drink them like water |

I'd rather drink the real Budweiser (the Czech beer) than its US name-thief
But for now, I'll settle for a Mort Subite Kriek that Raff seems to appreciate...

don't suppose you can put one of those in a zipfile and email me one could you? ![]() Need to find that .. should be able to.. can find anything in DC if you look hard enough. Don't believe for a second that the staff of the Polish embassy here drinks Buttwiper, Killer High Life,or Shlitts Malt Liquor |

I know this sounds trite, but I don't like the taste of beer, so I see no reason to drink it. And, due to pricinple and personal experiences of tragedy, I abstain from drinking alcohol. I know that this deviates from the stereotypical image of a metalhead and from the stereotypical image of masculinity, but I don't really care. That being said, I do like malt beer, like Kongens Bryghus Hvidt�l and Nisse�l, both of which have a really low alcohol percentage. I've also tasted Albani's Power Malt beer, which is quite good, too. |

My mission is complete!
![]() Here's the details...
Wychcraft- A blonde beer from the Wychwood Brewery in Oxford, England made with three hops and three malts. (4.5% vol.)
Goliath- A ruby bitter ale brewed with various malts and hops, again from the Wychwood Brewery in Oxford. (4.2% vol.)
Fraoch- A Scottish Heather Ale, using a 16th century recipe. (5.0% vol.)
Alba- A Scottish tawny pine ale with elements of spruce added. Originally a Viking tipple apparently. (7.5% vol.)
Ebulum- A Scottish elderberry black ale, another 16th century recipe. Originally however, elderberry ale was a Welsh druidic idea. (6.5% vol.)
Kelpie- A Scottish seaweed ale. (4.4% vol.)
I will tell you if they're as nice as they sound over the next week or so!
Cheers! ...and happy drinking to all!

hah.. I've drank many things over my colorful past as a frickin power drinker, passionate and fun-loving drunk and serial self abuser... but can't say I've drank a seaweed ale. I need a report on that one... ![]() |

Ahh... so Micky would like a report on the Kelpie seaweed ale!
![]() You're in luck then mate 'cause I've got through three of the six beers so far, of which the Kelpie is one of those I've tried. My review on it may surprise you!
![]() Kelpie seaweed ale- 5/5 if I were to rate it.
Light, somewhat frothy and satiny smooth texture. Not remotely watery. Soft malty aftertaste with salty elements, a little bit like an undercurrent of the thin seaweed round sushi rolls. The direct taste of the ale is a smooth, silky malt flavour, with elements of herbiness with a soft bitterness which does not interfere with the other flavours. It is also very refreshing, which is surprising when one considers that lagers/blonde beers are more likely to act as thirst quenchers than ales...but this ale does a fine job of that too. Has a very slight smell of the sea. Might I also add that the seaweed in ale technique is 400 years old, known to Scottish islanders and coastal peoples.

There is story of a restaurant/bar located in Toledo that has at least one of every beer in the world. Story goes that if you ask for a certain beer and they don't have it then you don't get that beer.
![]() Actually, I don't remember what they would do if they didn't have that beer, but I think that maybe you would get your meal for free or something. I've not been to this place so I am not 100% it exists or still exists but that is the legend any how.

I rarely drink beer, but there are very few I've had that I dislike. I usually just buy the typical brands at The Beer Store: Molson Canadian, Lakeport, MGD, Corona, etc.
One of my favorite beers is Rickard's Red. |
