I always though Hamms, which was brewed in Maryland a long time ago and the Chesapeake Bay was the land of sky blue water??
...I've seen the "Land of Sky Blue Waters" personally following some serious consumption!..

Too bad. I like the lighter tasting beers...like Coors.
I learned years ago to keep work of any kind, and partaking in the spirits, separate. I will definitely have on later. I do have a few different stouts in the fridge.Hey Jim nothing goes better with a pile of paperwork then a good stout or doppelbock... :cheers:
Cheers Doug
Excellent stuff.
Now explain Coor's beer to me. What the heck is a banquet beer? Something you drink with rubber chicken in a vast hotel ballroom? Ads are running dozens of times a day, with no explanation.
I know Texas isn't responsible.
You're right, we have no knowledge of that. Its a Colorado thing, so I'll leave it to Coloradans to explain.

Sorry about that. We brew all sorts of fabulous micro-brews in Colorado. We also make Coors. As best I can tell, it's for ball games and tourists.
ooooooooooooh DARK BEER! Yummy, yummy, yummy!
Excellent choices. Shiner tastes different at the brewery though. I don't buy it at the store. One unusual choice I had last week that was outstanding: Gordon Biersch Maybach.As I recall from a brewery tour in Golden in 1968, the term banquet was added to Coors' label during the Great Depression for some reason related to miners who were apparently "the" party animals of the time. And my 2 cents, Shiner Bock is OK if one cannot find Yuengling Porter or Linenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter (seasonal) or Creamy Dark or Cigar City Maduro!
Hi: C&G in FL... I sure hope someone carry's Yuengling "Black and Tan" down there!!!

Most Texans (and pretty much all San Antonians) would stand up and applaud you for denouncing the swill known as Lonestar. Put some in a dog bowl and watch what happens. The dog will look at you as if to say, 'are you kidding'?I don't have the proximity to the Shiner brewery to enjoy it the way it should be. But in bottles it beats a lot of other stuff on the market. But the worst beer I ever had was also from Texas.......Lonestar. In my opinion, about as drinkable as what comes out of the black water tank. Let's not have anyone get upset. Again, my opinion!

That would be my excellent choice; it was my lunch at the James Joyce Irish Pub last time we were in Calgary.You can't have a Black and Tan mixed in a bottle. Half of the fun is the fact that the stout sits on top of the ale, and needs to be carefully poured that way. We make them every once in a while, quite tasty. Wouldn't it get all mixed up in a bottle?
That makes sense, and I'll have to do that... but Black&Tan pre-mixed is a common product.You can't have a Black and Tan mixed in a bottle.
