@Mikey, I don't think any one of us has any really usefull inventions to our names.
And still one of us needs to win at some point!
Or perhaps not, this thread might run indefinitely. Or E@H might stop killing this forum resulting in there never being a winner. But better for there to be a winner at some point.
if you don't like the taste of hops, I won't hold it against you.
Thanks. It'd be nice to know if that is what I don't like.
There is stuff called wheat beer made from wheat and malted Barley. try a glass of that some time
White Zinfandel is of course a rose despite the name
White Zinfandel is made from the Zinfandel wine grape, which would otherwise produce a bold and spicy red wine. White Zinfandel is not a grape variety but a method of processing Zinfandel grapes. As of February 2006, White Zinfandel accounted for 10% of all wine sold by volume, making it the third most popular varietal in the United States, outselling Red Zinfandel 6:1 by volume.
Back to beer, at a beer festival I would try you with 1/2 pint each of of IPA*, Best Bitter, Lager, a strong Mild, and a Porter. That would pretty much cover the real ale field. I might even add a glass of scrumpy into the mix.
But for real scrumpy you need to go to a Cornish or Devon pub, and try the landlords home made special under the counter. You strain it through your teeth as you drink it. Sort of like the Irish Potcheen. You won't be walking home afterwards!
It is certainly a British phrase. The word lager is not often used in US conversation unless said conversation is on the subject of beer. Lout is even less common in the US vernacular. Over here, police would say he was drunk and disorderly.
Drunk and disorderly would be on the charge sheet yes, interesting to learn that the phrase is not used elsewhere though.
Angry Orchard Red Apple Ale
That is not a beer nor an ale it is a hard cider. Strong ciders are not to everyone's taste. e.g. I can't stand Strongbow in the UK, it gives me a headache!
Your Liberty Red is a Californian blended wine at $5 a bottle. I'm not surprised you didn't like it. The price is at the lower end of wines and not produced from a single grape variety.
although it is supposed to be good for the cardiovascular system in small amounts
Every month over here we get tabloid headlines saying "Recent research suggests that a glass of wine a day wards of heart attacks", Next month it will be "Latest research indicates that a glass of wine a day causes liver damage". It is just the media having something to print and researchers duty bound to publish minimum number of papers each year to maintain credibility with their peers and employers.
in all my years I've never cooked anything in which wine was an ingredient.
In the UK standard "pub grub" is Steak & Ale pie, restaurants serve food with a white wine sauce, and any trifle worth calling a trifle has a decent slug of sherry in it.
@Gary - living in the UK I would hardly be aware of local Chicago beer history would I. But yes there have been local micro breweries all over the world and especially in America during the Prohibition in the 20's.. My point was that they are increasingly popular today as people turn away from mass produced stuff.
What you must realize is that not all Americans are Texans or speak with a Texas accent.
It's public perception isn't it, likewise many people still believe that the Aussies all walk about with corks dangling from their hats!
Automobile matters in the next post.

Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Speaking of automobiles : our local toll freeway ( Eastlink ) ran a successful test of autonomous driving in traffic using a Tesla model X. Firstly it was a demo, but more importantly an opportunity for those who will write the legislation that may allow it's use, to check the vehicle out in vivo. It's not that they will write the law to suit Tesla but gaining familiarity with the parameters that will bind compliant examples. Scuttlebut has it that it could well be the case that even Tesla will have to tune-up their management of exceptional traffic scenarios to please the regulators. But we'll see.

Biting. That's a solution of sorts, isn't it, people? *scowl at everything in particular*
Whose bright idea was all this stuff anyway? It's everywhere.
I am busy even when I am asleep
*stare at MAGIC* You too? *flop-drag to next sentence* I've worked out I'm busier. It's not good for my days, it really isn't
*read Jonathan's culprit list"
Bedding has to have been the most intelligent thing we ever came up with - before or since ever. Without it nothing else would have got done. Those other two are good mind - but neither are what I'm looking for, Jonathan, no.
I detect an air of muffled foreboding here. ;-) As in, putting lead in petrol to quieten traffic noise?
That was a shockingly bad idea wasn't it? As was that other infamous stuff he zapped the planet with - CFC's. Imagine... if he'd got himself tangled in that contraption he invented - that thing that worked better as a suffocating device than anything else before he did anything else - we might have been spared such "good ideas". I don't know where leaded fuel stopped being used in the 70's. It was still available here well into the 90's and we still export it to countries that already have enough problems without us profiting from them having more, but I will say you're sort of going the wrong way on what might be the right track, Mr Ffing :) but only whilst being completely and utterly wrong first. And I'll also say it wasn't on that wiki list.
In case Annie does intend on something peaceful ... But we could not be certain of that of course
I always intend peaceful but you can't be certain, you're right, no. It is definitely a peaceful invention, although it doesn't exactly sound it.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Well of course it is, we all know that they have Fosters can ring pulls not corks :-)))
I am pretty sure Mrs Bucket would never go there
Bouquet dear, Bouquet
A vehicle is of great use in leaving Gibraltar during the worst of the tourist high seasons - whether to the continent or the ferry to Tangier, both come highly recommended, Sir. :-)
I quite agree my dear Sir. Being a resident must be quite trying being invaded by hordes of pasty faced Brits every summer. Much nicer to hop over the border into Spain and watch a bull being tortured to death, or nip over to North Africa and swap the wife for a camel. Or conversely come to London for the weekend. Many Brits do the Gib run Friday to Monday, the return air fares are reasonable and the duty free fags offset the cost.
We all know the "justifications" that can be found in places such as wiki, Sir
Don't take Wiki as gospel!! It is a useful starting point to general opinion, nothing more. I do quote a lot of it to see if people know better.
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?

My thread is doing for diplomatic relations, what pickled onions would do for trifle.
edit: I'd say more but I have to bite my hands.
17 minutes later edit: That's a bit better. I've only gone and got Dyshidrotic eczema :/ how idiotic is that!? I've never suffered with eczema ever! I've seen the misery my twin suffered - and my son once he started school - and guessed it must be horrible - and I was right.
I meant to say biting isn't a clue. However, having said that, it could be loosely considered one :) If you focus on the 1900's but not all the way up till they ran out, you'd find that quite useful I think
I'll shut up now :)

I advise you to order those for me one at a time. After I spit out the initial mouthful of the first couple, you may decide I'm hopeless and save yourself the cost of the rest of them.

I don't have enough teeth to filter anything through. Remedying that situation would probably take priority over coming to Britain if I had enough money for one OR the other.
