Kwaq - awesome drinking glass btw

Yeah I love them. Like drinking from test tubes.

It was mostly that our belgian friends didn't tell us what happened when you reached the bottom bit....

 

[Shekwan]

What happens when you reach the end? You mean an air bubble can cause it to spill?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I'm guessing you have to tilt it enough to get it over that bottom lip that when it does, it comes pouring down all over you.

 

[BirraImperial]

No doubt.

Oh yeah, great minds think alike.

 

[Mowque]

Same here. Alcohol is just nasty in general.

Yep....although the different glasses are interesting, lol

You're right, because I thought that every brewery with a German name was neccesarly also German by itself, so-to-say in German ownership. Now it turns out that I erred. But why are there so many American breweries with German names anyway? Just for commercial reasons? Does the average American beer consumer automatically associates a beer with a German name with one of superior taste? If that's the truth in deed, then I'd be flattered.

They are named after their last names, I know this for a fact with Pabst, Schlitz, Anheuser-Busch, and Leinenkugel's.

You should check out a map of American ancestry, it is quite impressive. The German immigrants settled the North (which is where a lot of these companies are based too.) German ancestry is the largest ancestry in the United States.

I do not like/consume alcohol.

Good man. However, I like Buchnitzer, Weinagel, and Zollveck.

German ancestry is the largest ancestry in the United States.

I don't mean to derail this thread but there once a man with my last name who was the major of Dallas in the 30's. He was a Republican named Joe ...
You don't have to believe me, but it's true.

Interestingly, another major area of early German settlement was in what was then the Southwest, what is today eastern Kentucky, Tennessee, and western Virginia and the Carolinas.

Red Seal Ale from North Coast Brewing Co.

By far the best beer I've ever had. Still my favorite.

The cheapest beer is the best because you can buy the most.

Only if it's free.

Mostly your local brand, whatever it is

WE have Ueli-Beer and Unser Bier here in Basel

From a global perspective, there are just too many variants

 

[Jazzmail]

The Belgians got all the best beer. Finally something they should take pride in.

In particular the various Trappist and Norbertijn beers are the best stuff.

 

[fugazi]

Brand beer! Yummy, and you can drink it while having dinner just perfectly.

Korenwolf is imo the best white beer there is. It's so .. good.

 

[BirraImperial]

yee son

That's a really cool label.
