    Re: What's your favorite beer?

    Yeah, what synaptik said about having to “pick” just one. Doesn't it depend on the what's and why's? which depends on mood and occasion? Drinking for quantity, drinking hard, drinking for show, for fashion, for vogue, for Charles Bukowski's tradition and in memory of him? Pretty sure I've sampled plenty at the top, the bottom and the middle, from various countries. DosXX, Corona, Foster's (minus the kick when it turns on you), many others are good (MoonRise: if you've ever had natural Coors go bad, you'll never get back to it again, ever). Fact is, I like cheap beers. Those at the upper-middle 75-percentile of the very bottom of the barrel: Natural Lite beats most there, and--hide the label--and it beats many at the upper-middle 75-percentile of the top beers. And root beer isn't bad, diet. Was there a question, and did I answer it? Whatever it was, I have a feeling each of us would answer differently if asked again tomorrow.

          I've noticed a few mentions of Root Beer. There's a Micro Brewery near me that makes a killer Root Beer (along with other "Beverages" )! Best I've ever had.

            Fintan, I had a retired Australian sailor as a drinking buddy once, a neighbor, and I'd often say that it was too early for a beer, not even noon yet; and, as you've already guessed, his response was that it was noon somewhere in the world right now--Pull up a stool. (He had his own bar, fully decked out, complete with mood).

              Well as a sailor he would have a worldly, cosmopolitan, globalized attitude towards life and the zen of beer maintenance.

                      Guinness is my all-time favorite

                      Also, local beer from the regions Lofoten and Valdres in Norway are good.

                            I have to say I don't really have a favourite. I like most real ales and usually try out new ones when I see them. Also like the Leffe belgian beers (yes plural, there's a whole range, not just the Blonde), and Tetley's is alright. I can't stand lager, and unfortunately I can't drink Guiness.
                            I am running Ubuntu 8.10 (yes Gnome) with upgrades applied daily about 0900 UK time. Hardware is Dell Precision 420, 2x 800 MHz PIII, 512 MB RDRAM, nVidia GeForce 6800 128 MB AGP graphics, 18GB SCSI and 500GB IDE HDDs, DVD burner, Hauppage TV card.
