I ran into a woman who was wearing a T-shirt from the Princess of Wales
Pub in San Diego CA. She said it had Welsh beer on tap, but didn't know
which ones. Does anyone on the left coast know this place? Can you provide
particulars - location, offerings (draught and bottled), your appraisal of
the clientel and decor, etc.? I'm hoping for Felinfoel and Brains on tap...
Thanks!

I'm sorry, I don't share your sentiments about the Salt Lake City area.
Coming from scummy, polluted NJ, Utah was like a breath of fresh air for me.
The beer I drank while I was there, Wasatch Weizenbier, was excellent
and strong.  Reminded me of Chimay Grand Reserve.  I'll agree, the snow
was not suitable for skiing, but the beer was respectable.  I also
drank some mexican beer called Tecate, which was light compared to the
Wasatch, but just as good.  Maybe it was the altitude (or maybe my
attitude?) that made me catch a buzz in Utah...

OK, my personal favorite (so far) is Old Peculiar. How many folks out there 
have tried this and what can you reccomend that would be similar but *better*. 
Other beers I enjoy are Chimay, and Fruit Beers (especially raspberry!)

What is your opinion of Old Peculiar?

Over Spring Break this year, some friends and I toured (to ski and drink beer
Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho.  When we finally got through the shitty state of Nevada (it's not too shity if you like sagebrush) and into Utah, we were 
stoked to be out there and into what we thought would be a cool state. WRONG!
Utah sucks! The snow was horrible, the Great Salt Lake is surrounded by pollution, and the beer sucks!

No, I am not harping on the Mormon beliefs, religion bores me, but can't
Utah at least realize what beer is all about, sitting at home or in a pub
drinking to drink and get a buzz so someone else can take you home.  Too bad, I don't think I visit there again anytime soon.

Just my two cents worth.

I've just recently purchased another 6 of Guinness from a 
local liquor mart here in Winnipeg.  An interesting thing
to note is that the beer is in fact brewed by Labatt
"under the direct supervision of Arthur Guinness Son &
Company (Dublin) Limited).  (quoted from the bottle).
 
My question is this:  How does the Canadian Labatt brewed
version of Guinness compare to the beer brewed in Ireland?
Are there any other countries that brew their own Guinness
instead of importing it?

Well Ken, I am not from Utah, but I was just there for a week for spring break, and I was certainly interested in beer.  You are right about the liquer stores.  They only sell imports warm on the shelf.  This is the only place to get beer that is not 3.2, unless it is brewwed locally.  I had quite a few Wasatch beers since they could be found a lot of places.  We went to the brew pub which is in Park City right on main street.  A cozy place to drink beer and the stout knocks you on your butt.  You can get 



all of the standard beers in the 3.2 form in any grocery store but I wouldn't suggest it.  Coming from the east, it seemed that our group had to have about a case each on the first night when we bought the weak stuff.  Needless to say, we switched the liquer of choice.

Hope that helps.

One Hard rock asked the other day for info on how to brew beer

At the moment in New Zealand there is a tend towards home brew 
because it is cheap and also fun.
Many of the comercial brewers are finding that they have to 
provide a greater range of beers to keep the drinking public
happy.

Home brew is realy easy, beging like an art I'm not going to
go into how to brew beer, the best thing that one could do 
is find a good book shop, at the moment i can't think of a

If you'd like a gourmet beer, I'd like to recommend St. Sebastian Belgian Crock Ale. It is brewed in Belgium by Trappist monks - somewhat in the vein of the Chimay Ales but far more tasty. This sweet thing comes in a 23+ ounce ceramic bottle and is heaven on earth (that ecclesiastical connection). It sells for $14.50 at Stan's Blue Note in Dallas. Plan on not drinking more than one in a single sitting.

> Hello to beer drinkers worldwide.

Quite a powerful way to start a message, especially for this
newsgroup... so I'll echo it on this message, in which I'm making a
modest proposal.  Greetings to all beer fanciers, everywhere; everyone
having a beer, recently having had a beer, or looking forward to their
next beer.

This request goes out to all readers of alt.beer, but particularly our
European residents... I recently moved my place of residence and as I
was packing up, I noticed how lacking my collection of coasters is
becoming.  I used to have a prized collection of beermats (Ich glaube,
der wort ist auf Deutsch "Untersetzer," nicht wahr?), but over the
years I've lost a lot of the great ones due to overuse, spillage,
misplacement, or just plain giving them away.  I'd like to get my
collection back up to snuff, so if there's anyone out there who would
help me, perhaps someone of similar interest, I'd be very grateful.
If you'd care to take a moment next time you're in your favourite pub,
whether it's in three months, or three hours, grab a local coaster,
stick it in an envelope and mail it to me (my boss collects stamps, so
this should work out great, if anyone participates).  I'll gladly
reciprocate by sending one from California, or any other California
curiosity as long as it's small and comparatively easy to mail.  

If there's any interest, e-mail me to exchange addresses and let's do
it.  Thanks for your time, and to everyone else, sorry for the
comparatively low beer-content of this post.  But hey, where would we
be without beermats?

Well, not a COMPLEAT Canadian ban or anything, it's... well, read on,

York Times... (reproduced without permission)

CANADIAN PROVINCE BANS U.S. BEER

Toronto: Further escalating Canadian-American trade tensions, the
Ontario government agency that monopolizes the sale of beer in
Canada's most populous province announced a bad yesterday on American
Beer imports.
	The surprise action, which was made without prior knowledge or
approval of the federal authorities in Ottowa, came in response to an
American threat to impose duties of up to $8 a case on beer imported
from Canada, effective April 13.
	Provinces took over beer and liquor retailing in the late
1920's.
	The move by the liquor control board of Ontario, which came as
trade negotiators for both countries are locked in talks in Ottowa to
try to resolve the dispute, affects about $70 million worth of beer
sold in Ontario annually by such companies as Stroh and Heileman.
Miller Brewing, Anheuser-Busch and Coors are not affected to a great
extent because they have licensing arrangements allowing Canadian
brewers to produce and sell their beers.
	The imports, representing 3% of beer sales in the province,
amount to about one-third of total American beer sales in Canada.
	The office of U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills had no
official comment, some American officials speaking privately called
the move unhelpful.  
	On the Canadian side, Marthe St. Louis, an aide in the federal
trade department, said it was purely a business decision by the
Ontario board, seeking to protect its commercial interests.
	American brewers reacted strongly.  Christopher Sortwell,
senior vice president of the Stroh Brewery Co. of Detroit, labeled it
"an absurd action by an apparently panicked Canadian brewing
industry."

...and Coors has people that inspect distributors to ensure proper
storage/turnover of their product. I know this because I worked at a
beer retailer and once in a while the local Coors distributor would
offer us several soon-to-expire 1/2 barrels at reduced prices. Seems they had
to get old product out of the warehouse for an upcoming inspection. 

Anyway, a couple of times this coincided with parties I or a friend was
having and I was able to get some good deals. One particular time I
bought some Killian's Red _Ale_ 1/2 barrels ("kegs") for the price of
Busch. It was a gamble, but the Ale turned out to be in pretty good
shape.

  You might want to pick up a copy of the magazine "All About Beer". 
Inside you will find listings of places that sell Yards, half yards and
foots of beer. They even have "competition sets" which have two yards 
glasses on the same wooden stand.  They are a bit pricey but well worth
it if you like to get into beer drinking as a hobby (or life). 

  The magazine itself is very good. They have reviews on different
beers, reviews of brew pubs and bars and overall a sorta beer drinkers
bible. Plenty of beer info!
