Beer

Beer is big business. It also happens to be my favorite (alcoholic) beverage. I know I'm not alone. It's food ... it's the staff of life!
I'm hoping we can discuss a myriad of topics (marketing, advertising, ingredients, brew process, big and small (craft) breweries, etc.) around this great invention of mankind.
While many of us have overindulged and have sordid tales to tell, I am requesting that we minimize those stories to a dull roar. We have an image to cultivate here and show that our taste buds are indeed refined and are discriminating.
I'm no expert on beer by any stretch of the imagination ... but I know I do love beer.

Beer blogs ... http://beer.alltop.com/ ... of course.
Beer twitter feed ... http://bottomlessbeer.com/

I'm looking forward to learning and sharing all things beer.

They sell San Miguel ales all over NYC and they're comparable with Mexican beer. My favorite though, is Red Horse: a very mysterious lager that is actually brewed with a good amount of gin. It tastes fantastic but the next morning isn't always a good experience. :-P

Karla Mercado I absolutely love drinking beer especially during the winter. I leave all my bottles out in my balcony for a great, naturally below zero chill.

It was amber ale (landlord) vs. porter (me). For some reason, we drew a tie on Korean beer (OB Lagers to be exact), and concluded that maekju touche'd both Newcastle browns and Guinness extra stouts. No idea why, I guess we were already drunk by then. Ha! Any of you guys into Asian beers?

Hi Karla, love your landlord debate story. I think most debates around a few brewskis eventually reach a happy middle ground. :)
I'll be honest with you and tell you I'm not into Asian beers. It's not because I don't like them but rather because I've never really taste tested them. Actually I would guess I could easily develop a taste for them given enough time and sampling. My preference (besides the local beer, of course) are the Canadian beers such as Labatts and Moosehead.

Mark, haha! I know about the middle ground. Beer brings clashing minds together. :) Actually, Asian beers would also probably be one of my least faves. Korean beer's pretty good though.
