The beer volcano and stripper factory


Photographic proof.

Although Miller beer? Argghh!! (<-- Pirate talk, should be worthy of at least one beer chip.) Come to think of it, only one keg? I don't think that's even enough for the Noodle Dance get together.

Miller beer...they have stopped making it under licence over here for some reason...
I try not to drink Anheuser-Busch beers as well, out of principle.
But sometimes, you just have to...

My beer of choice is most any Trappiste; but they can't be drunk in large quantities due to the huge ABV, so my cooking beer is either McEwans Export or Caledonian brewery's Deuchar's (JOOKERS)IPA.
Do you have a local brewery?

Thanks, I was wondering as I was browsing Scotland's finest what you might prefer. Haven't exactly made up my mind and then it will depend on what I can actually find. Looks like a Trappiste would be very hard to get here. However I bet I could find the Deuchar's IPA and I must say it sounds delightful, well at least rich in history and for all I know my very last beer. Till The Flying Spaghetti Monsters version of Valhalla. Or another reason for song and jubilation with my wife's, ahh sure, go ahead and kill yourself. I'll smile and say, Ok. I wonder if I'll need to drink this warm. That's damn unAmerikan.

Local brewery's, humm, not exactly and if there are now, I don't know what they might be. Very rural area and the local small cities have never really gotten into brewing beer, at least in my life time. Wine industry not far away. Moonshiners too, but pretty much gone green and meth. I suppose Latrobe, Pennsylvania might be considered a local and Genesee out of New York State. Gennie has gone more national and Rolling Rock from Latrobe, a very acquired taste, is probably much better known as well now.

I've had a lot of brews of choice over the past. Nothing very fancy. I did actually drink a few just for the taste but not many. An Irish beer brewery comes to mind, Killian's. I imagine Coor's shot that to hell as to what it really was or is. Standard alcohol content for us, unless you really look hard for the imports. At my time it was hard enough just to find, let alone get fussy about shilling weight.

I wondered what the shilling thing had to do with anything and I just saw the word export actually has more of a meaning then I knew. I'm getting Wee heavy with beer lore here.
