A Guinness drinker can be persuaded to drink another stout if that's what's on tap. A stout drinker will not necessarily drink Guinness. A number of bars carry a 'house stout' that I think Amsterdam brews and private labels for them. I don't know what the commitment is, but it's quite good and might...

Yanjing makes me think of Tiger, and Tiger makes me think of stupid nights in Singapore with the accompaniment of really bad, but only just affordable beer. Tiger is light years ahead of Yanjing, and at least you can also get good beer in Singapore if you don't like the Tiger! To be fair, I had a c...

I tried the Yanjing in China. You would really have to be loyal to the PRC to go out of your way for one of those. The tapwater is not considered safe but is generally a tastier bet than the Yanjing :-? It's also not too common to find a cold beer there. Lukewarm or on ice it still tastes almost as ...

Thanks, I needed a good laugh :lol: Seriously, we should support this perspective on 'beer' any chance we get. The less people that get turned on to good ingredients, the less pressure on already scarce resources like hopps, barley etc. In other words, more beer for us while the hosers swill soda pop!

Just came back from Vegas as well... had a rather bland dinner last Sunday at Gordon Biersch. Hard to find a reason to go back and that was the sentiment shared by a group of us. The service was far from enthusiastic, staff knew very little about the beers. The food was barely ok. Food to plate rat...

Re: South of the border disappointment
Yeah I wondered too, but I thought I'd try it to see what they were up to. The description sounded good, but the beer was lame. It supports my case on how bad this place has become.tuqueboy wrote:blonde Dunkel? whaa??Tapsucker wrote: the blonde Dunkel I had was actually off!

South of the border disappointment
This probably should go in the reviews section, but I thought I'd share a quick warning with everybody. I was just down in Las Vegas and one of the usually reliable beer spots, Gordon Biersch, has really taken a dive for the worse. The food at this location was awful (it has been excellent for years...

There have been many variations on brewing kits over the years. You might be surprised ot find out how many great brewmasters had their first brewing experience with these. that's not an endorsement for the quality, but it does say enough that they were not all so bad as to turn some notable individ...
