My favourite beer is the Rothaus Tannenzaepfle. It is brewed by a state
brewery, but not well known. You can only buy it in the south-west of
Germany, in Baden-Wuerttemberg. If you ever come to this region, ask
for it.

Some possible reasons: Having a large collection is cumbersome.
                       Some duplicates of rare cans started to enter the market.
                       Improving your collection is often difficult i.e. it 
isn't very easy running across a 40 year old can.

>Could someone please tell me the story of Billy Beer I was too young to follow the story when it was happening. And is it still available anywhere?

Billy Beer was distributed during Jimmy Carter's term (the beer, of course,
was named for his brother Billy, a big time beer drinker and all around
good natured redneck down in Plains, Ga.)  It was canned by four different
breweries (Cold Spring in Minn. is the only one I can think of right now).
It became an instant cult beer and immediately (and for a couple of years
after it ceased distribution) you saw ads everywhere like "full sixpack of
Billy Beer -- $1500" etc.  Of course, at the time there were 25,000 members
of the Beer Can Collectors of America and probably most of them stuck a
six pack or more away.  I'm sure a few idiots around the country actually
paid big bucks.  I've not been to any big trade session for about ten years
but back then, if you couldn't trade for one, you could buy one for a
couple of bucks, top.  I haven't kept up with the can market much since then
(I'm just now starting to try to trade off a bunch of cans) but I'd be
surprised if they're worth more than about $10 (if that).  Billy Carter 
signed a zillion of them (maybe a signed one would be worth more -- ten
years ago they weren't worth much more than an unsigned one).  When you say
"can I still get one?", you don't mean to drink, do you?  Beer is only
good in a can (or bottle) for 'bout a year.  However, if you would like an
empty one, I will gladly sell you one for $25 (might be worth that for all
I know -- wouldn't want to rape myself).  By the way, Billy Carter later
admitted alcoholism and dried out but died a few years later (of throat
cancer, I believe...he chain smoked also).  Or maybe it was the beer...

Last year I visited Denmark and fell in love with the country and its
people.  IT is a wonderful place.  But I must admit the Danes take more
pride in their beer than is justified.  I visited the Carlsberg and
Tuborg breweries and got a good sampling of their beers (other than the
green tuborg, carlsberg and elephant, it is tough to find Danish beers
in the US).  They are pretty good but not top of the line.  Moreover,
with their standard exports they allow CORN into the brew.  There is only
one reason for doing that and it is not quality.

sorry if I offended any of my Danish friends.

Regrettably very few Americans (readers of this newsgroup excluded...) seem to know a great deal about good beer...

Germany has many great beers but its reputation in Europe should not be
allowed to overshadow the much greater variety of styles available in
Belgium and Great Britain.

Draught cask conditioned beers - widely regarded as being the champagne
of the beer world - should be kept at cellar temperature, cool but not
cold.  Similarly many of the Belgian beers should be kept a little
above fridge temperature.    The
usual reason for drinking something ice cold is to take the taste
away.  The whole concept of the mass-produced beers is to remove
distinctive taste and produce something bland which is easily "learnt"
and where quantity drunk not quality of product is the objective.  Dry
beers were designed to be tasteless for example. If these beers are
raised anything above ice-cold, you begin to taste them and you realise
they are disgusting...

As the person who posted the original article was in Dundee I suggest he/she
try some No 3 in the Mercantile or whatever real ales are current in the Galleon
 the Scout or Fishermens in the Ferry. The Cask on Albert street may also be
worth a visit but I haven't tried it myself.
As for megabrewery beer the Mercantile does something magic to it so that it 
tastes almost real and the pub is mercifully free of students.

Avoid at all costs the Uni pubs: Mickey Coils (Sp) The Tally Ho and The Globe.

If however you still haven't found any decent Scottish beer you can always have
a pint of Flowers in Foreigners :-).

I's can guesses though...  Seems to me that alcohol dehydrates and salt helps to
retain water in most humans.  Not sure how well this would work though; perhaps a
chemistry geek (meant in the nicest way...  8)) could shed some light on the 
chemical reactions which would occur, and if any true balance between the alcohol
and the salt would occur.  Or would it be like taking a speed and a valium, so you
have no idea whether you're coming or going....

it had a picture (I think) of a Golden Grizley Bear on the label, and I

Duvel and Leffe are definitely NOT trappist beers. Trappists are priests (kind
of monks) who make beer in abbey (Chimay, Rochefort, Orval,...). Their beer is
commonly called trappist too. But Duvel and Leffe are not (even if Leffe was
first brewed in an Abbey near Dinant (Province of Namur), but it isn't anymore).
