Oh and as far as this quote if you change that to the Northwest then I'll agree.

As far as Sam Adams I don't buy much mainstreem beer anymore, but the last sammy I had I believe had passed it's experation date and I haven't had the guts to try again.

Gotta love those growlers.

I'm taking a wild guess here, but you sound like a man who enjoys a pint of bitter. I'm a big Fuller's fan myself.

in basic order:

Newcastle (brown ale)
Blue Moon (wheat ale)
Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale
Heineken Dark Lager
Sierra Nevada (pale ale)
Honey Brown (lager)
JW Dundee's Amber Stout
Jack's Pumpkin Ale
Molson Canadian (lager)
Heineken (lager)
Winter's Bourban Cask Ale (wheat ale)
Sierra Nievada Celebration Ale
PBR

of course, all other alcohols are at a loss when compared to celebratory mead.

We got my B-I-L some mead when he married my sister. I thought it was disgusting.

can't really tell you, except i've never had good mead with a synthetic cork.

mead is sweet, so very wonderfully sweet. especially when served hot.

didn't try it hot. that makes it sound more appealing.

Of all the places I've ever been, I'd have to say Germany (when it was called 'West Germany') would be beer heaven. Of course, America seems to have adopted my favorite beer habit of the Germans...establishing 'local' breweries all over the country! My favorite thing when I was in Germany was to get whatever the local breweries beers were. Mmmm...beer. I'd say my favorite was a pilsner brewed by Licher which I got in a couple different places, but it was always clean, clear, and smooth. I had some Eisbock in Frankfurt that was deadly...I have no idea what the alcohol content was but two glasses made it almost impossible to stand up and I was weighing in around 225 at the time. My favorite beer of all time is from Holland though. It's called Brand and it comes in a ceramic bottle with a regular cap (not the ceramic/rubber flip-top cap like Grolsch) Dang, I'm getting thirsty!

greatest drink ever coming in from the cold.

also, most people have their frige set low enough to suck the taste out of mead. 50*-70*F are optimal for 'cold' consumption.
