     I recently tried New Amsterdam on a trip to Atlanta, Georgia, and 
   found it to be quite good. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find
   it locally (Columbus, OH). Hopefully, if it is coming to Chicago it will
   be available here soon too.

That pub is in fact called "Chez Moeder Lambiek" (which means "At mother

Histamines.  Beer contains some histamines which trigger the allergic
reaction.  See your doctor for an antihistamine that is safe with alcohol.
 Wine also contains significant amounts of histamines and this is a common
problem for wine drinkers.

It's a great bargain, no question.  They pastuerize bottles but not kegs
at Yuengling, and I often find that the Porter kegs go bad more quickly
(getting sour and buttery flavors with time) than the clean Chesterfield Ale.
The Porter is brewed with a lager yeast so it's not technically a British-
style porter but closer to a Moravian one.

I was amazed when I went on the tour at how close visitors can get to all
the machinery, as opposed to (say) Anchor where everything is behind glass
and/or railings.  Not too safe!  Still, they give a nice tour, although I
wish their offerings at the end hadn't been limited to the Amber and a
new product, "Black and Tan" (yes, premixed!).

It is pronounced krOYsen. Knowing the difficulty english speakers have
with umlauts (see my last name), I don't expect to hear it pronounced that
way often.

Nat Light was our beer of choice back in high school.  You started out on

On really special occasions, we got Extra Gold or Michelob.

    There are a lot of very fine brews being made in Ontario lately.  Whether 
they'll weather the ahem recession is still to be seen>.  Upper Canada Brewing
Co. makes a whole slew of fine brews according to the Reinheitsgebot -sp? ,
including some very nice lager, dark ale, wheat beer, and Rebellion.  They
also make, dare I say it, an excellent light ale, at 0.9% al. which does not
sacrifice it's flavour.  Considering all their others are around 6-7%, it's a 
nice break.
    Another fine micro is Creemore Springs which makes a lovely nutty beer -
but they are a little steep.
    Sleemans and the Brick Brewing Co. are two older micro's which have long
history's to each and are still making all sorts of good suds.
All in all, from what I've experienced, the Canadian beers tend to have a bit
more flavour, be a little darker and copious amouts of alcohol.   Maybe it's
just blind patriotism...

Red wine in particular also may contain some exceedling bizarre 
additives, from chenical clouring agents to animal blood (there
is a Hungarian wine ----called bull's blood that contains just
that). The cheaper the wine, the higher the risk of additives

As for domestic beer (draft), There are a few brands that are

Milk Stout is stout sweetened with lactose (which was once extracted
from milk).  Lactose is a di-saccharide (sp?) like maltose or sucrose but is
unfermentable.  Here, the use of the name Sweet Stout has been illegal
here since WW II as the beer isn't really made from milk, 
it's called Sweet Stout instead now,  and is used as a
mixer with normal ale by people who don't like the taste of beer much,
mainly kids, and is called a 'Black and Tan'.
