The name "Anchor Steam" refers only to one particular product of
Anchor Brewing Co.  The correct name of Anchor's holiday brew is
"Our Special Ale".  It is not a steam beer.

Well, I may be wrong but if I am I will be corrected I am sure.

A full barrel of beer is 33 gallons - you never see these anymore but brewery
output is still measured by the barrel.

A sixteen or a half barrel is just that one half of a barrel or 16.5 gallons

An eight or quarter barrel is 8.25 gallons and a pony is just an eighth barrel
or 4.125 gallons. Pony barrels are more and more rare. They are actually 
smaller than most party balls (I don't know their volume but it is between
a quarter barrel and a pony) Ponies are certainly much more enviormentally 
friendly...

You can do the conversion to ounces and back to glasses or whatever yourself
I'm not up to it right now..

Most of the time, the kegs that we see here in the US are half-barrels (15 and 1/2 gallons).
Everything else works off of that..
I have seen European 50 liter barrels, my favorite beer in all the world (Baderbrau, from
Pavichevich Brewing in Elmhurst, Illinois) uses these.

      Well, I won't claim to know beers, rather the opposite, but the
one time I tried Sol (w/o lemon, tho; they were fresh out...) I was
thoroughly disappointed. It tasted - to me at least - much like it
looked; lame, not even a proper label to back it up. I doubt a little
piece of fruit could help that sorry mess.

      Strange that the Sol craze is on in the US also; somehow I always
thought that foolishness was local to this town...

Too right.  It sounds like rocket fuel and tastes like it too.  A beer you
could stand a spoon in.  For sweet and malty, I'd try a French Biere de Garde. 
I don't know which brands you could get over in the states but they can be
found in most good Off Licences {Liquor stores} here in the UK. Jenlain is most
common and not bad either.  Further more it won't make your tongue curl up and

IN a nice restaurant like the Black Forest Inn (which is probably 
where you drank it) the same beer ($3.75 here) would cost 5DM in Germany, or 
about $3.25 depending on the exchange rate (and what you're charged to 
exchange money).  Buying it in a store there is, of course, cheaper than in 
a store here, and at cheaper beer places in Germany you can find it for 
about 3 DM.  If it was Black Forest, it was probably either Hacker-Pschorr (
on tap) or Paulaner (from the bottle).  They used to have Franziskaner, but 
they've been out of it lately.

To purists that might sound disgusting, but I second Amy's view that it's a 
good beer -- in the right circumstances.  I went for a bike ride with 
friends down the Isar south of Munich, and we stopped in a little town and 
in a beer garden enjoyed a nice liter of Radler.  A full liter of beer, even 
the somewhat weaker Bavarian Helles (weak in comparison to other German 
beers, not American beers) would have been too much with another 20 miles of 
biking to do.  As it was, it went with a pic-nic lunch (which you can 
usually take with you into the beer gardens) just perfectly.  Thanks for the 
post, Amy.  On an icy, cold day in Minnesota it conjured up images of 
Germany in the summer.

	Obviously there are a few deluted people here.  LaBlatts is
kinda watery too.  If you want something healthy that will be thick
and dark witha nice kick (but not too hard) try a few of the MicroBreweries
that are around.  Americans can make beer it's just hard to find it!
After a few German beers I find Canadian beer is water as well.
Get out and try a Stout or two, or at least pick up some Sammy Adams
or Petes Wicked Ale.  I know I rattle endlessly on about the Microbreweries
but you haven't lived until you've tried!  Nuff said!

	I am glad that this person has tried all 400 + beers brewed in the
USA.  I am also glad he knows when he's drink drinking.  I personally would 
much rather drink a Sam Adams Boston Lager, or a Blackened Voodoo, or a 
Liberty Ale than LABATTS.  The giant company has taken over most of the 
regional breweries, including Olands, Black Horse and other Maritime 
Breweries.  Not Moosehead, though, not that Moose is much better.  I personally
would like to see microbreweries flourish here as they do in Ontario, Quebec
and out west, but the big brewery lobbyists are REAL strong here.
	The bad news is my brown ale won't be ready for a few weeks, and my
bitter is almost gone...

Yes, I've had their Pale Ale, their XXXXX (Five X) Stout, and their
IPA.  Each one is a damn fine beer, available on tap or in bottles.
They are in the process of expanding their bottling facilities and
may soon be available in markets other than here in the PNW.  

They also have brewed a spiced holiday ale for the first time this year,
which I haven't tried yet.  I'll probably have a chance to do so on the

You obviously are talking about the U.S. mega-brews, because if you had
any of the good micro-brews from the U.S., you'd give up your LaBatt's
in a big hurry (BTW, LaBatt's isn't a whole lot better than
Budmillercoors, IMHO). Try some Sam Adams, Anchor or Pete's Wicked
Ale...I doubt you'll compare them to water nor will you need to drink
10 to 12 bottles (although, it might be amusing to watch you
try...;-)).

Another one is a BOTTOM, which is (unsurprisingly) a dash of lemonade and then
the pint glass filled up with beer.  However, many landlords will not sell this
drink as it is difficult to pour and in a busy pub, considered impractical !!

I've never drank it so cannot say if it's any different from a TOP.

Of course, up until about 5 years ago it came in brown bottles, and
wasn't half bad as I remember.  This beer must be the victim of
hyper-marketing; 19th century flip-top bottles aren't good enough -
put it in *green* 19th century flip-top bottles!  Actually, the 
bottles were good on three counts:

1) You could reseal them if you wanted to pause in the course of
   drinking one.
2) They were great for homebrew or cider.
3) If you had to run an errand from a kegger, you could fill some empties
and take a few road beers with you (a practice now politically incorrect).

I haven't tried it since it started coming in green bottles.  I guess
I haven't missed much.

Another reason for high prices in MI is that we have the bottle return law.  
$.10 a bottle, yeah I know only $.60 a six but I'm sure the distributers stick
on some extra coinage to cover their cost of picking up the returned bottles.

One example:  When I lived in CO I could get a six of Sam Smiths (except the 
Imperial Stout) for $9.99.  Here is MI it is $16.99.  Really SUCKS, I mostly drink

In Germany, recycling bottles (i e, melting them to make new bottles from
them) is not considered a good idea. And why should it be? Isn't it much
better to use the same bottle over and over again, rather than melting them
each time?

I do not (except in extreme cases of need :-) buy beer in reCYCLEable bottles
(much less in cans, of course). I always buy reUSEable bottles.

The most agreeable form of buying beer is in reuseable glasses, of course.
There is no better way of drinking beer than in a pub (IMHO).

One thing I don't like is the lack of reuseable party kegs. They are supposed
to be available, but I've never seen any. 30 liters, yes, but not the small
convenient 5 liter kegs a small bunch of people will finish in one evening.

For all of those of you who enjoy the great taste of Mexican beer, I have a   
little piece of info which I know will interest you. 
This summer I was vacationing down in old Mexico and much too my surprise I found out that for 1 dollar = 3000 pesos you can buy 3 Corona beers, think about it here in the U.S. a six pack of the same bottles will cost $5 dollars on the 
average while in Mexico you can get 2 1/2 six pack for the same price.  Now you
know why so many mexicans spend their time filling their big  bellys with beer.

Just a little curiosity I thought would be nice to post.

Angie.
