There is exactly one bottle beer, which is a joy to drink:

I am sharing this info with you, because I am sure you will use it wisely.

It is pricey, because it is a very special thing. And, of course, French.
That is how it goes.

I apologize for spitting on the floor, in the last paragraph.

Fin du Monde is many things, including a fine beer, but one thing it
is not is French.

It is Canadian, from Chambley, Quebec.

OK...True French from France, French-Canadian, whatever. My point is, their
ilk tends to have great tasting food and drink, and they charge a lot for
it.

Please keep in mind - most of us Americans have only a very vague idea, of
the world outside our borders.

to try a couple, and I was hooked. New favorite fireside beverage.
So, I only thought it fair/fitting that I mention my newest discovery
here. Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot. I enjoyed it on tap over the
weekend at the Pepperland Cafe in Berwick, ME. Great place, if you're
even in the area go there. Seriously. Anyway, they had 2 barley
wines on tap, Blithering Idiot and Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. I've had
the bigfoot, and I like it, but I decided to try something new. I'm
so glad I did. Not as malty/hoppy as the Bigfoot, but oh so good.
Anyway, figured I'd throw it out there in case one of you comes across
it and wonders. It's got a firm recommendation from my camp. Oh, and
at 11% go easy, lest you become a blithering idiot.
Does barley wine qualify as beer?

Finest kind in my book. I'm not sure technically, but any beer review
site will include it. The brewers often call it beer. It's in the
beer section at my local bottle shop and my local supermarkets. It's
a beer to me!


I will have to give the recommended beverages a try.

Cool. If you get a chance post back with what you think. Have you
had barley wines in the past?

No, but since I like wheat beer [1], it appears promising.

I thought everyone in "Dr Strangelove" was totally sane and all acted very
reasonably. It is why I advocate the carpet atom bombing of all Muslim
lands. That would be the best way to rid the world of that odious religion
(Islam) and the savages who follow it.

By the way, B. Hussein Obama had a Muslim father and went to a Muslim school
in Indonesia. This was of the Whahabi sect, the worst form of Islam. Let us
hope that my gal Hillary kicks his ass but good!

Many of those people in Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas voting for $Hillary
must be Republicans crossing over.

I think I may vote for gene "datakoll" daniels as a write-in candidate.

Also worth noting: just about every brew Unibroue puts out is worth a
try.

Their current lineup:

The Ephemere hasn't yet impressed me, but the Chambly Noire is a
sophisticated perversion of a Guinness-type beer (that means I like it).
Of their strong beers, my favorite may be Don de Dieu, but they range
from extremely good to the best beer I've tried.

I haven't tried Seigneuriale yet.

I do not know who I hate more - McCain or Hillary! I do know that B. Hussein
Obama will not do at all.

McCain is good on the war and terrorism issue and Hillary is good on the
health care issue. I am convinced that no one knows one god damn thing about
B. Hussein Obama. The ****ing idiotic liberal media have fallen in love with
him and refuse to vet him.

I may sit this election out. All I know for sure is that the country is
doomed!
