No problem. We just call it warm beer because it is so much warmer than what we serve. Well, what those who like it serve and drink. They bury it in chests of ice and take it to picnics. If the ice melts, they'll abandon the picnic and drive miles to find more ice. Honest! I've seen it happen. > "the hops is what you drink it for". Not I!!! Hazel All I have to say is, I'm an American, and I do love my country dearly, but we Americans don't know JACK about brewing beer. With the exception of O'Doul's Amber, which is non-alcoholic anyway, I won't even touch American beer. McEwan's from Edinburgh, Erdinger from Bavaria, and Carlsberg from Copenhagen. That's it. Guinness from Dublin has a good foretaste, but that aftertaste will put you six feet under, or make you wish you were. I'd love to try something from Wales, though.
