Beer Festival
Apr 5, 2013 13:35:12 #
After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" and the Guinness president replies, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I."

I had reason to be thankful for those 'beers' on a recent U.S. holiday. 100f + in Dodge City being one of them. But don't laugh too loudly - some of their micro breweries are turning out some top notch stuff. Just got to get them not to chill the life out of it.

REBELLION is my local brewery and I like to do my bit to help 'small' businesses. In fact, I'm just off to help them out now.

Oh Remoman, promise me you're not serious, I stopped drinking Watneys when I was 15 and that was quite a while ago. Guinness is my second choice if I can't get "real" beer. In my neck of the woods that's Youngs Special, Fullers London Pride, Spitfire from Kent (check out their brilliant ads), and a bit further afield, Doombar from Cornwall, Abbot Ale from Greene King, Wadworth 6x from Wiltshire - the list is endless.
I'm sure our friends in other parts of the UK will have their favourites. Clink, clink, cheers, Bob

I live in the US and many of those you mentioned are difficult to find.
To illustrate how often I drink anymore, we are taking the trailer to Yosemite for 5 days starting Sunday.
In the garage I found ½ a case of Coors Light that has to be at least 20 years old.
And a nice rose' wine of about the same age.
I tasted a can of the Coors last year and it is still excellent, as much as I am a' kind'a sewer about beer.
I am looking forward to sipping the wine while looking at the moon rise over Half Dome.

I will let you know the results of the wine when I return.
But, if in Yosemite, nothing is ever bad.

American beer is like making love in a canoe.
I do like some of the real ales from up here in Scotland. There's a really nice shop in Kilmahog that has almost every Scottish real ale. Well worth a trip...

Apparently SkullSplitter (from the Orkney Islands) is now selling well in the United States. An interesting little story here... SkullSplitter was at the centre of a controversy over its name; there were complaints that the ale had an "aggressive theme"! Fortunately the complaint was not upheld and so this fine beer is still available.
And those Spitfire ads. Such as this...

In the 70's, Watney's Red Barrel was a love it or hate it (I loved it) ale. No longer available in the UK, but I believe ther is a "lager version" being brewed in the US. Can't be the same.

When the world started chilling the beer, I quit drinking it.

You folks from the UK are argueing about who has the best beer in the British Isles. Across the pond, the presidents of Budweiser, Coors, and Millers were having a heated discussion on who made the best beer. They decided that they would take a bottle of their beer, remove the lable, and tag it 'A', 'B', and 'C', and send it to a chemical lab to be tested. Then they would know which was the best beer.
A week later, the lab report arrived. It said: "Don't work any of those horses for another thirty days".

So would I, but bitter is not served chilled or pumped with gas, its smooth nutty and bloody delicious.
