Beer!

Brick had a nice little article about European beers this week — if you could get past things like “all premium American beers are decedents of the European lager.” I’d link to it but their website hasn’t been updated in a fortnight and a half.
I want to get across two main points in this post. The first: drink American beers. The second: I’ve found the worst beer ever.
First. This is my personal beer soapbox and I’m sure the six of you reading this have all heard me bitch about it before but: beer is better in a can. Sunlight causes your beer to taste like skunk. I am not making it up people, read that article. “But why does Highlife taste so good, it is in a clear bottle?!” you might ask. Well! Apparently Miller uses hop-like chemicals in their beers. Mmmm. Point: brown bottles are good, cans are excellent.
Now, guess what the European’s ship their beer over the ocean in? Mostly green bottles. That is (one of the reasons) why Heineken tastes like ass. American beers, for whatever reasons, typically come in brown light dissuading bottles. Some even come in cans! So the rule is: in America drink American. In Europe, drink European. Easy.
Second Bell’s Cherry Stout is the worst beer I have had in a long time. Don’t pay any attention to that Beer Advocate rating of 83, this beer tastes like a cherry took a dump in your mouth. FYI, people.
