My "beer" fridge

Went to Walmart a month back and bought an 8 bottle wine fridge. Salton WC-2002. It was around $120 I think, didn't want to spend a lot. (had to return a 25 bottle one, the temperature didn't work). I've set the temp at 11C and am loving my beers, I prefer them a bit warmer. Has a digital temp setti...

My point was that to compare the NFL to something as wonderful as a welldone play is stupid. It's a bunch of meatheads standing around for one hour and running into eachother for twenty minutes. Actually, since I was in 2nd row, I heard the players often quoting shakespear to each other in taunting...

I saw some Guinness being served along with something else that wasn't bud or coors light, but I was kind of, um, worn out from beers the night before at the Pearl Street brewpub. Had some tasty pale ale double ipa. Went to Premier Gourmet and brought back some potentially tasty stuff dogfish 90 min...

I've never been to an NFL game. I prefer CFL, but then again I enjoy watching curling too...

as for "Americanization of our country and culture", if that means more American craft beers, private liquor sales and more $, I'll take it!

If the beer choice is really really really really bad, buy a beer that doesn't try to taste like beer. A super cold light ( lite? ) beer. I remember having a choice between bud and bud light one time. The lite was better since it tasted less like "beer" and more like cold water. Make it ou...

I recently just finished up a 6 pack of Dogfish 90 I bought down in Buffalo. I'm hoping the DFH60 is almost as good. I have to say when I first had a 90, I didn't like it. The typical complaints from a hop head about too much malt not enough hop. However, as I had one every couple of weeks, it reall...

Which average Canadian drinkers?
But yes, Canadian beer drinkers are probably less sophisticated than Americans :)

A "craft brewery per capita" study would help determine if there are real differences.
