CBC was reporting on the "beer summit" that Obama hosted. The article is at:
http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/0...9.html?ref=rss Apparently, the Mass. governor wanted him to serve Sam Adams, however... "Obama opted for a Bud Lite, made by Anheuser-Busch...." No wonder Fortenberry likes the guy so much. Tim Lysyk |

I usually stock Henry Weinhard'ss (Hef, Blondie, reserve, Blue Boor etc.) Reasonably priced, cheap, in cases. Then there are also the Hood River beers, Full Sail, Fat Tire etc, Seattle's Ballard labels, etc. Of the Mexicans I like Pacifico out of Mazatlan, and Modelo Negro. None of these cost a fortune. All are good and all use NW hops (As does Bud by the way), and barley or wheat. The giant hop yards South of Yakima, Wa, supply brewers worldwide. But the locals get the best and use the most, a good thing if you like to taste the hops that is. Dave |

TC, R- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - At least a few years ago the most popular beer in Ireland was Bud. And I was recently surprised how popular Corona (Mex) is in London. I don't notice any difference in the Pacifico or Modelo I drink in Mexico vs the US. But I am no connoisseur. If they change it to suit US tastes, I also expect es possible que ellos lo cambian para diferente partes de Mejico, no? Es un grande pais, no? Dave |

That sounds like a REALLY messed-up Rob Roy variant...that a 12 year old would come with screwing around in his parent's liquor cabinet... Who's talking about getting drunk, you fool? You obviously don't know what is in a Rob Roy. I said "dry" Vermouth. A Rob Roy is made with French or sweet Vermouth. Big difference. Ain't no Drambuie in a Rob Roy. Hence, the use of "variant"...IAC, fairly common "Rob Roy" variants do call for dry vermouth, a mix of dry and sweet, and the addition of Drambuie...and all are just as big a waste of Scotch... Also, "French vermouth" is not synonymous with "sweet vermouth" as there are a number of dry French vermouths, such as Noilly Prat. What she had was strickly a sipping drink, something you might have before or after dinner. Er, no, it is not something I might have before or after dinner...it is not something I'd have with green eggs and ham...I would not have 3 parts dry vermouth and 1 part Drambuie, Louie... Definitely not in the Rob Roy/Manhatten style of drinks. Yeah, it's more in the style of Scotch and root beer...over crushed ice... It was good. A great example of why there is chocolate and um.... ....tuna-salad-sandwich-with-Brussels sprouts-and-peanut-butter... Had a good taste and I doubt you could even get a buzz on with two or three of them. I wouldn't get a buzz from 1253 of them, all triples poured extra-heavy, because they would all remain in the glass... HTH, R |
