Per the Texas Alcohol Commision: Any beer sold in Texas that contains more than 4% alcohol must be labelled 'ale' or 'malt liquor'. The importers probably re-label the stronger imports. Also, lay this fact on any weaselly Coors Light drinkers you meet (gleaned from the Coors Consumer Hotline 800-642-6116): Coors Light contains 3.2% alcohol i.e. the same "three-two" beer people have been turning their noses up at  for years. Guess it's all in the marketing for some people.

There are brewery supply stores in a lot of the major cities (hit the 
Yellow Pages) that can send you a price list and thrive on mail order...

I bought a kit in Ottawa for about $80 dollars... a 20l (5 gal) plastic pail, 
glass fermenting bottle, cyphon, capper, and bottle washer (highly recomended)

In terms of cost per batch, I could brew a bottle for roughly HALF what
I would pay down at the Brewer's Retail (We Canadian's ARE taxed up here!)

I made my investment back in three batches.  My advise it to go for it.
Molson, Labatt, and Moosehead make a nice brew, but I can often do better
and there is a satisfaction in a successful batch. 

Go for it.

	If you ever find yourself stuck in the Albany area, there is a
wonderful pub nearby. It is in Troy, about 8 miles from downtown Albany, and 
it is called Holmes and Watson. It is located on B'way next to the post
office.  They have something like 50 exotic beers on tap and a couple
hundred others in bottles.  I recently enjoyed my first Pete's Wicked Ale, 
which they have on tap at a reasonable price, there. Good food and ambiance
too.

I wanted to take it back, but my friend tossed the bottles and sales slip

Often when I find myself down on the coast, I usually pick a bushel of 
shrimp.  I love boiled shrimp, especially boiled in beer.  I suggest that
you use a light domestic such as Busch or Bud Light... no since in using the
good stuff.  Also when I am marinating steaks, I like to top it off with a
little beer for that extra kick.  I don't know of any recipes that call for
beer as an ingredient, I just use it more as a 'seasoning'.  Some
eating establishments around the campus here often serve what they
call Beer-Batter Onion Rings.  I'm not exactly sure if there is beer in
them since I've never had them.  I'll have to try them next time around.

Howdy,
Guiness has also a brewery in Nigeria and the beer they make
differs just a little bit from the real Guiness from
Dublin.
It is in Europe a rarity to get the Nigerian version off it.
The taste is less bitter than the original.

Cees.

You could try Zum Bo"gner near the Rathaus the price is around 10-20 DM for
food if I remeber correctly. Naturally there is the ever popular
Hofbra"uhaus am Platzl or the Matha"user-Bierstadt am Stachus (this one
has several areas each with its own atmosphere). You should get a
copy of the `Monatsprogram' and the `Young Peoples Guide to Munich'
which you can get from the tourist  office. There are many places to
drink/eat within short distance of the Marienplatz. The Gaststa"tte
Stadt Kempten near the Viktualienmarkt. Hope it helps. Kiipis.

Alt.beer was created for the purpose of discusing the various aspects of 
that fine malted beverage generally refered to as beer. Welcome here are 
discussions of rare and interesting beers, reviews of brewpubs and 
breweries, suggestions about where to shop for beer, tips for making 
your own, and such...

Flames, senseless arguing, and encouragement of alcohol abuse will not be 
tolerated on alt.beer!! Please keep noise to a minimum. 86 QRM. Please
to get into flame wars about liking different kinds of beer. If you don't
like a certain kind of beer, you are welcome to say so, but berating others
for liking something that you don't is NOT APPRECIATED!!! 

The alt.beer "archives" are available for anonymous ftp on ftp.cwru.edu,
in the ~/pub/alt.beer directory. If you have any contributions, please
email them to me (brown@ins.cwru.edu) and I will see about getting them 
put into the archive.

Couple pointers to other net.news.groups... rec.food.drink exists for
discussions of all beverages, such as wines and liquors. Homebrewing is
discussed on rec.crafts.brewing, and in the Homebrew Digest, which is
posted to rec.crafts.brewing. "Partying" is discussed in alt.party. Flame

I like Wasatch, too.  I moved away from Utah in 1987 after living there for
17 years, and I haven't been back.  It's possible that the state-run
liquor stores have changed, but I'd be surprised.  I remember liquor stores
having unrefrigerated beer, and the selection consisting of St. Pauli Girl
and Anchor Steam.  (I like Anchor Steam.)  Some liquor stores had a
somewhat broader selection, but most were limited to maybe 10 varieties --
certainly nothing fresh.

Perhaps the liquor stores have improved.  Anyone in Utah care to comment?

Actually, a *lot* of Budweiser is sold in Canada.  It's expensive, but 
imported!  (I cried when I first saw this in a bar on a trip.)  Maybe if it 
comes down in price, people won't think it is as good.

Try Liefman's Kriekbier from Belgium for a nice cherry-tasting beer.  Or,
they make a Frambozen (which I prefer) which tastes of raspberries.  Both
are made with fresh fruit, and cost about $4 a bottle.  They are sold as
singles in NJ, but I wouldn't buy more than one anyway at that price...
These beers are usually served as an *apertif* beer, before a meal, or
as an after dinner drink.  They are similar in carbonation, body, and
character to champagne, but are still considered beers.

I haven't had any from Denmark, sorry, but post what you finally try!

	I saw this stuff sold in bottles by the six-pack in Columbus, OH,
recently.  I can't remember specifically what the price was, but I do
remember it being LUDICROUSLY expensive.

	My questions are:  Why so pricey?  Is it imported?  Is it just that
good?  Maybe if someone would be kind enough to give me a little
taste-description, or compare it to some other brand, I might  be able
to understand what makes it worthy of its price tag.

I have a general survey-type beer question concerning something I've always
wondered about. How long did it take for all of you to acquire a taste for beer?
I know some people who took a while to get to like it, and others (like me)
who liked it from sip 1 (well, ok, maybe sip 2). Mebbe it depends on the brand
of beer first sampled?
