When I lived there for a while, I had a roommate that would think nothing of driving 200 miles to drink some or other beer, that was made only on occasion. It took my taste buds a while to adapt to English beer..but after a while, I genuinely liked it.

One can buy a book about beers in England. It will tell you what beer is made where and when and everything else you might like to know about. There must be 100's of varieties of beer there.

Most beers average about 5% alcohol, but from time to time, you could find 20% alchol beer.

No topic on beer gain be said to complete without talking about Guinness. It's an acquired taste for sure.

Then there are those beers which are nothing short of a joke....stuff like Old Milwaukie....I refuse to drink it..
beer is a generic term , what you are describing is " Ale" both Ale and Lager are " Beers" ( Beer is the method of brewing in general )a good lager is just as good as a good ale etc and vice versa . The british drink an enormous amount of crap beer as well as brewing some nice local Ales. In my experience the Czechs are the best at good beers

Where Im from a proper beer is a "pint of plain" , served cool but not cold , made with water from the liffey and takes about 2 minutes to pour , ( personally I cant stand it !!)

Re: The 2021 & 2022 Joke Threads

Just the facts:
Becks, Red Stripe and Kirin are brewed in the US.

Fosters for the US is brewed in Texas. Fosters in England in brewed in that country too.

Bud is pisswater but Fosters is slightly less pisswatery.
Bud Light is the #1 selling beer in the US so that tells you something about us. Let's take a shitty beer and make it shittier!

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Re: The 2021 & 2022 Joke Threads

This beer stuff reminded me of something that happend about 20 years ago. A guy that had just started working for me was on his first trip to the UK. We were eating at a pub outside of London when a waiter took our drink order. When asked what he wanted he was a bit overwhelmed by the number of choices so he just told the waiter to bring him something imported. The waiter brought him a Bud. We all had a good laugh.

My guess is that the beaver represents nature and therefore truth. But I may be wrong.

Re: The 2021 & 2022 Joke Threads

There have been signs of far-right radical extremism, by some organizers of the protests, including the equating of vaccine mandates to the fascist regime of Nazi-era Germany, the display of Confederate flags, and inciting people to overthrow the government, through violence. Some convoy supporters are inciting hate, violence, and in some cases criminality, on social media.
The beaver represents true freedom, and Canada.

Q: Why do Canadians call lady parts 'beavers'?

A: Because they devour wood.



As I sat there scratching my ass, and spying on my neighbor washing her beaver, one thing crossed my mind.
We have some really weird pets, in my neighborhood.
