Gotta go..we're apparently going to the aforesaid village pub... for lunch...so I'll get some photies for you., although it's not Greene king .. it really is the best old style pub around!!
You are correct sir. Got a call Thursday from a person I met at a Stationary Engineer and Boiler Operators school back in 2000 when I worked at the Ethanol Plant. We both liked old boilers and such, it reminded me of those boilers, so thought I'd change up my Avatar.
that was a verrrry long time ago.... Here's my husbands' pint of Abbot Ale the other day... think it was about £2.50
American beer used to give a satisfying kick, but sadly, Light Beer now rules. I'll take a bottle of Lowenbrau Dark over a quart of Bud Light! Hal
Light beer is better than dark beer, but water is better than either of them, and I don't even like water.
I'm not a fan of American lagers either, mostly due to the process and the use of rice. I've been home brewing for over 25 years and never met anyone who used rice in their recipes. Other ways of dealing with sugars. As for kick, the ABV for a regular Bud and Lowenbrau are the same. I mostly prefer ales, bitters, and some IPA's if the hops are right.
I'm tired of all the tap beer being "Lite" beer! Why can't the beer consumer have a more robust brew on tap? Thank you, Harold Pollner
You can come here and get some ''real ale''..brewed locally and .. 7% proof at our local village pub !!
Which establishments do you frequent where you can't get anything but light beer? Sounds like you need to go someplace different. My favorite beer is Texas-brewed Shiner Bock.
We love our Bud Light. I like Yingling, but it has to be regular Yingling, which is actually too heavy for me. I also like MGD (Miller Genuine Draft), but it's pretty heavy as well. If we are out somewhere and the restaurant doesn't have Bud Light, we will both get a regular Budweiser.
When my dad owned a bar in Houston, Texas, his love was a bottle of Lone Star. Actually, he loved it too much. He died years ago of cirrhosis of the liver.
Holly, the "Proof" is always DOUBLE THE ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE. Thus, an 80 proof Bourbon is 40% alcohol by weight. Hal
