Well, sticking up for the guys somewhat. . .if you look at a bottle of Pete's,
it looks opaque.  If you pour it into a glass (you can do that?!) you can see
just how dark (NOT!) it is.  :-)  Very nice color, but hardly opaque. . .or
even translucent, for that matter.  :-)

Speaking of opaque beers, anybody got a good recipe for a dark, heavy, thick,

Just a warning. Drinkin' Ahrns has a way of deadening your taste buds.

Besides, real engineers drink Tech beer or did the EPA crack down on Pgh

As far as names go, I'd suggest you have to go a long way to top Pig's
Eye Pilsner out of St Paul. The name was originally intended as short-

"premium" beer. Last word was that is now available in London.

Shiner Bock is a good 'every day' beer.  At around $4.50 a six pack, it's
cheaper than imports, but it is way beyond any budmilcoors as far as quality
and flavor.  Because it's brewed in Texas, it's available anywhere "typical"
beer can be found, even at bars.  Because it's not as dark as Guinness, people
aren't scared off by it, and are therefore willing to try it.  I find it a
great compromise between average bland American beer and expensive, hard
to find imports.

This is simply not true.  BudMilloors does taste like beer.  It's just

beer.  See, it works both ways ...

I agree that it's certainly NOT a tasty product.  But it IS beer, and

It is true that Belhaven was temporarily unavailable in parts of the U.S. from

U.S.  Here in Columbus the distributor is out of stock, but has promised that a
shipment is expected somewhere on the east coast very soon.  They apparently do

Cecil Adams did an article on this a few years back.  Supposedly when the  
company was just starting, they couldn't agree on a slogan to put on the  
bottle... someone wrote down the words you read on the bottle today and wrote  
"33" after it, to emphasize that it was only 33 words long.  That piece of  
paper eventually got sent off to the printer for the labels, and the "33" was  
included by mistake.  Instead of paying to reprint all the bottles, the company  
just used them and pretended the 33 meant something mysterious.
I dunno how true this all is.  Sounds feasible, though.

Although Guinness is one of my favorite beers here in the states, have any of 
you had it where it's brewed??  I was just in Ireland (and I visited the 
Guinness brewery).  The Guinness there tastes much different, and is much 
better in Ireland.  The reason being is that when they export the beer from 
Ireland, they must put in preservatives and additives.  These change the taste
of the stout, and give it a very bitter taste.  Even coutries as near as 
England still have these additives in thier Guinness.  Ny favorite beer in 
Ireland... Guinness, but not my favorite in the US.

Well, no, I wouldn't.  I didn't really miss the point entirely, we
were just attacking it from different directions.  My point is that
there are _some_ commercial beers that are adequate for casual
consumption.  No, I never have, and never will pay money for Coor's Light.
If the end product has an acceptable flavor, I guess I'm less of
a purist on how it's made.  (But then, that's the beauty of chilli-
once you get the basics down, it's near impossible to make a bad
batch, and there are very few required ingredients.)
Besides, there's a bit of an egotistical pat on the back in periodically
resampling a successful commercial product and being able to honestly
tell yourself "Ha!  Mine's _much_ better!".    :')
At any rate, I have a hard time lumping Augsburger Bock and Coor's Light
into the same category of commercial whoremongering.

Not especially.  In fact, it just goes to show that even when you
use good ingredients you can still make bland beer.

It also makes me wonder about what ingredients they actually use.
Naturally, when we beer snobs hear "all barley" we automatically
think "all malt."  This is not necessarily the case.  If one uses
un-malted barley as a grain adjunct, one gets the same effect
as using corn or rice; i.e., you get a bunch of starch, which gives
you alcohol without any taste.  I am beginning to suspect that Miller
is doing this.  That way they get to brag about using barley, and charge
more $$ accordingly, but still get to brew a cheap, bland, mass-market beer.
Mind you, I have no evidence for this, but I'm getting more suspicious
by the moment.

Moonie's.  Moonie's is contract brewed for Murphy's Pub by the Old Dominion
Brewery, and it might just be what your looking for.  It's a lovely stout on
tap--rich, thick, and creamy--but it's not as bitter as Guiness.  You might
also be able to get something similar near you under the name of Dominion
Stout.

	As a side note, you should try the Guiness at Murphy's.  It's tapped
better there than anywhere else in this country.  This makes a big
difference.  It helps take the edge of the brew and generally makes it more
enjoyable.

There is a VERY small micro brewery in Abita Springs, Louisiana called

Summer Wheat, Christmas Ale, etc.)  All of these are good, but the
