Besides being able to quantify the process and get very even and predictable results from the ingredients through the use of modern knowledge, the really great beer made today often resemble the old stuff more than the modern.

I figure the current incarnation could be credited to the english a whole great deal, along with the czech and belgians.

However, since things didn't really move (quality wise) until after the 80s when it comes to premium beer we probably have to bow our heads and lift our glasses to toast for the belgians and americans!

Then again, "whatever works" probably goes for beer sometimes as well. I rarely consume beer while mixing. I prefer rich and tasty when listening though. But the funniest thing is that whenever I sing in german I have to drink at least five american Budweiser's first, preferably seven. I have no idea why this is so, but it doesn't work as well otherwise!

And I find it a tad bit difficult to enjoy most lager's to begin with...

AGREED!

i'm on a huge stout kick right now.  and even more specific, imperial stouts.

samuel smith imperial and their oatmeal stout and VERY hard to beat.

old rasputin imperial is incredible as well.

The darker and colder it gets outside (and here in Sweden it can get very dark and cold these days!) the darker and stronger the beer. Smile

I looted the liquor store this and last year, so I've got a large stock of christmas beers to keep me content over the holidays. Since I stock up on a yearly basis I've got some vintage ones to enjoy as well. I can highly recommend buying at least a year in advance.

Cheers!

The Oatmeal Stout is AWESOME!!  I tend to drink a lot of Deschutes brews because I know one of the brewers there.  You can never go wrong with a Mirror Pond.  Their seasonal brews are great also!  The Jubelale this winter is pretty good.  And I have a bottle of their year 2000 special edition Jubelale that has been fermenting (recommended by the brewer). That one will be opened this New Years.

But the best beer I have had so far this year was the Pumpkin Ale from Dad Watson's.  It was their Oktoberfest beer.

There are a lot of great beers here in the Northwest.  Too many to list.  I usually try something different at least once a week.

mmmmm Beer Smile
