I even order it at Chinese restaurants, which seems a little like cheating somehow, but it's usually the best beer available at such places.Vitae Scrutatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808120163472036743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-84524827283626236132007-09-28T18:20:00.000-04:002007-09-28T18:20:00.000-04:00Oddly (or maybe not--given that saki is made from ...Oddly (or maybe not--given that saki is made from a sorta grain) Japanese beer is pretty good.<BR/><BR/>I'm hooked on Kirin, personally, but asahi (sp?) is pretty good, too.Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-78622875485833108892007-09-28T14:29:00.000-04:002007-09-28T14:29:00.000-04:00I've seen that Three Philosophers beer when visiti...I've seen that Three Philosophers beer when visiting Ann Arbor, but have always been too chicken to try it (who wants to down all that beer if one doesn't like it?). So now I'll check it out, on your recommendation.<BR/><BR/>I can recommend in turn Brasserie Castelain's <A HREF="http://www.belgianexperts.com/images/castelainlabel.gif" REL="nofollow">Blonde Biere de Garde</A>, though I suspect you've probably already tried it.Vitae Scrutatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808120163472036743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-25441400482039383672007-09-28T14:23:00.000-04:002007-09-28T14:23:00.000-04:00I can proudly state that I have never to my knowle...I can proudly state that I have never to my knowledge bought a Miller. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I'm not sure that I've ever bought a Bud either...<BR/><BR/>If I have to buy a mass produced beer, I go local and get a Shiner Bock (which as every billboard assures us all is tested on and approved by the people of Shiner, TX). <BR/><BR/>However one brew I can definitely commend to you, Scott, based on both quality and label is Three Philosophers, a Belgian Quadrupal style ale available in 750ml bottles -- a quantity which probably only Socrates could down without visible effect.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14247942.post-18629122256550593182007-09-28T08:53:00.000-04:002007-09-28T08:53:00.000-04:00As a practical matter, if a brewery can afford to ...As a practical matter, if a brewery can afford to advertise, there's probably a justifiable reason to boycott their beer.<BR/><BR/>Alas, I can't join the Miller boycott, since I don't drink Miller.

Nothing says St. Louis like Budweiser and Cardinal's baseball.

Anheuser-Busch was a top consumer of Louisiana rice, but come crawfish season, we couldn't wait to give the money right back to them.
