I think he may be referring to a Beer-Ball....A quaint little thing
they sell Bud/Coors/andothercrap type beers in at the grocery stores
around here....

Dave, I wonder whatever happened to Ballard Brewery....They used to make 
some excellent ales (Ballard Bitters - Red Hook - Black Hook)...I heard
they are no longer...Is that true?  I used to love Red Hook Ale!
Now that I am on the east coast, I can appreciate the unique position
the PNW has on the Microbrew stage. I miss my brewskies!

That's right, prevention... and not cure. I drink great quantities of
beer--real beers, not mass-produced garbage like Budweiser--and have had
all of three or four hangovers in the past three years. My secret...

Yes, alcohol is a diuretic (sp?), but its effect differs from body to body,
metabolism to metabolism. Mine own is fairly fast, so maybe others won't be
as fortunate. Anyway... pace yourself with water! I'll drink a glass of
water for every other beer.

I try to eat a little of something... Don't go awol! I know we all did it
in college... ordering pizza and blowing bongs back in the room after
drinking a thousand beers. But you'll only wake up drunk and/or sick. Just
a bit.

Drink some juice or, preferably, V-8. V-8 is wonderful, giving you lots of
minerals and helping to restore your electrolytes. Your body doesn't
require THAT much energy to break down sugars, which are actually the most
readily convertible carbohydrates. Fats and starch take much longer.

Drink alot of water and stay up for a short while to piss off the rest of
the beer. Take a huge glass of water to bed with you. I know how easy it is
to wake up dry but be too lazy to trot to the kitchen or bathroom for a
drink... so bring it with you!

I can wake up clean as a whistle, any slowness gone before the shower's
end, after 8 beers and only 6 hrs. of sleep. Try it!

Maybe I have this the wrong way but it flows
north and almost all rivers in the northern
hemisphere flow south.

Anyway, I was just wondering about Genny.  Can
you guys get it out west, etc ?  I'm sure 
nobody thinks it's all that great since it
is a typical american large scale brewery.

Any comments ?

Berghoff Brewery and Restaraunt
This is at about 400 W Orleans, and is a brewpub, and pretty good restaurant. They 
usually offer about 5 or 6 beers at any one given time (Lager, Dark, Stout, Weiss,
and a seasonal or 2). The Berghoff also has a restaurant in downtown chicago
(10 W. Adams Street) that serves the beer from the brewpub. This rest. is one of the
oldest in Chicago, and has Chicago Liquor Licence #1.

Goose Island
1800 N. Clybourn, Chicago
This is a very good brewpub -try the porter, and the ale..
They are also about 1 block from the best place in Chicago to get beer
Sam's Liquors (no relation to Sam's Club (wal-mart)) The staff is very knowledgable
about all aspects of beer, wine, spirits, and it may look like a warehouse, it really
is in what used to be Miller Brewing's Chicago brewery; and then Peter Hand Brewing
(Old Chicago beer...yuck.)

Weinkeller Brewery and Pub
6420 W. Roosevelt Road, Berwyn, Il
This is my favorite brewpub -it also helps that I'm walking distance from the place
About 5 or 6 beers always on tap -Pilsener, Ale, Stout, Weiss, Lambic (usually
rasperry or strawberry), seasonal (their Christmas ale was GREAT), and I have
had a Bitters -it's a crapshoot what may be running, due to brewing and drinking
schedules. I highly recommend this one -they also have a beer list that has to be
seen to be believed. They also have a second location in Westmont, Illinois 
(near Oakbrook, Naperville, and Downers Grove). I dont have the address for that one,
but call the Berwyn one for inst.  and directions.

Tap and Growler
They are on West Jackson, just west of Greektown... I have not been in there for a 
while -their stuff was very inconsistant.

Microbreweries in the Chicago Area....
Chicago Brewing Company
These guys brew a good lager, (Legacy Lager), an Irish red ale (remember how many 
people in Chicago are of Irish extraction), and a good Kristallweizen. Tours are
available
Pavichevich Brewing Company
1800 Romans Road, Elmhurst, Illinois 708-617-5252
These guys brew what I think is the finest Pilsener in the US. I havent had
Pilsener Urquell on tap in the US, yet, so's I don't know about the world.  This beer
is in the style of the great Eastern European pilseners. I know, because I tried
Pilsener Urquell in Austria, and in Hungary (on tap!), and it compares very well
with them. They also brew a very good bock beer, which may or may not be 
available at the time.  They also do tours, and will ship cases via ups. Goose
Island carries Baderbrau on tap, so you can try it and compare it there.  Take a 
look at what Michael Jackson has to say about Baderbrau.....

   If memory serves, Buckhorn is/was brewed by Pearl in San Antonio.
I lived there about 10 years ago, and don't remember even seeing
Buckhorn, but I did visit the brewery, where the "Buckhorn Hall of
Horns" is an attraction (of dubious merit).  I do know that Pearl
is on my list of beers that actually taste bad (as opposed to those
which merely have no taste), so it's quite possible they were both
brewed there.

Actually, a "Radler" in Germany is just this.  Half and half beer and
lemon soda.  Similar to a "shandy" in the U.K. I believe.  It's quite
refreshing on a hot summer day or after you've been working out, and
the lower alcohol content helps when it's that hot because you'll
probably be drinking more.

The directions for making a still can be found in "Foxfire #1". I think
the last chapter. Or look in the yellow pages under Wine and beer making
supplies. Most stores carry a book called "The Lore of Still Building"
by Howard and Gibat or order the book from Stuff for Suds 1176 Sudden
Valley, Bellingham Wa. 98226, for $4.95. There is no problem owning the
directions to make a still or a nuclear bomb, there is a problem
building either. the federal gommint frowns on building a still almost
as much as a nuclear bomb.

! In dutch there's a similar expression that says:

	Wijn na bier geeft plezier,
	bier na wijn geeft venijn.

! which roughly means: wine after beer gives you pleasure,
		       beer after wine poisons you (!!)

Personally, I enjoy AHA soft pretzels, preferably washed down with
some fresh homebrew.  I know it's kind of messy, but then I can't do
anything in the kitchen w/o making a mess.  And making the "creative
shapes" is so much fun!  Especially if you don't decide to make the
pretzels until after you've already had a few.  In any case, I've
yet to find anything to compare with them.

I don't have the recipe on me, but I will post it anyone needs it.  I

Last week I finally got over to "Hops Bistro and Brewery" here in San Diego.
They were serving 5 excellent beers, and one of them was an ESB pulled
with a beer engine.  The ESB was really tasty and highly hopped (just the 
way I like it).  If you ever get down this way I would highly recommend
them, even though the place is overly trendy looking.

There is also another "Hops" in Scottsdale, AZ.  Can anyone here confirm if
they also have a beer engine?

I was in my local liquor store today and they still have about 10
