Damn, and I thought I wandered off topic a lot...

Ah, but I think we've wandered to the favourite topic

I suppose it's true. Colored base rings, legacy team progress, "what skill should I give X," "what team should I take to X," and even werewolf must sumbit to the almighty Beer.

It's Nuffle's holy water, you know.

No, no, no, no, no!

Nuffle Sucks!!

No way he had anything to do with beer, well, not the tasty kinds anyway

I don't know much about the Czech brand, but Budweiser in the United States was first brewed in St. Louis, Missouri (My great home town

) in 1852 by Eberhard Anheuser, with Adolphus Busch taking charge of the company (known ever since as Anheuser-Busch), and since then, it has been operated by the Busch family (until just recently, I think). For more info, check out http://www.budweiser.com

Brewmaking in St. Louis was done predominately by the immigrant Germans, and it retains some of the character of German bier, in my opinion. B/c of the lower alchohol volume percentage requirements, though, it is not as hardy and is quite thin compared to German bier (and even the Imports I get aren't quite the same compared to having a cold one in Germany b/c of our requirements). I'm betting the mid-nineteenth century/early twentieth century Budweiser would have probably been about the same in quality as German bier, the "dutch" as they were known, brought the brewing skill over with them when they settled. Hmm...I just got thirsty....

Link to the Czech Budweiser Budvar, which irrc (and was told correctly) was brewed and trademarked before the American Budweiser, and had some sort of legal battle with them over rights.

Thanks

. And I wasn't going to touch anything legal related today

. We covered the dispute in my Intellectual Property Law class a couple of years ago. Anheuser-Busch (or "AB" to the locals

) is going all out to protect the Trademark, which I can understand. But, as the European requirements for Trademarking and Intellectual Property is not quite on par with the U.S. requirements, I'm not suprised they aren't completely successful. Theres a lot more too it, but it's boring, unless you're like me and would actually love to work in the intellectual property legal field.

Wait, now I am lost. Is this thread about Basketball, Winnie the Pooh, or beer?

A general rule of thumb is, "If it comes in a green bottle, it's crap!" I said that. I'm not quoting anyone famous or particularly knowledgable or anything.

When it's hot out, I like a nice, crisp lager or a pilsner is nice too.

When I get home from work, I want a rich, hoppy ale. There's a local ESB I'm particularly fond of.

When I'm killing slugs in the backyard, I'll pick up whatever is cheapest of the mega-breweries at the time. Slugs don't care if it's American, Canadian, or Mexican (by far the worst of the imported beer makers we have). Slugs are all alcoholics.

For the record, the absolute worst beer I've ever had the misfortune to drink on purpose was from Kenya. I have blocked out the name from memory it seem, though. Thankfully.

Green bottles do not stop UV rays which spoil beer. That's the reason fro green bottle skunk.

When it's hot I like a Belgian Lambic or a Pils.

That's Guinness time for me, or Sam Smith's Imperial Stout. We have a local stout I really like but they don't bottle it afaik. Arkham Stout.

You are a strange, sad, little green man.

The worst I've had was a toss up between a Russian brew that I have thankfully forgotten most of the details of and a Scottish Ale that would have made a skunk puke. (green bottle curse)

1. Every turn I stall is an opportunity for you to take the ball away.

2. If I stall until turn 8, you only need to stop me ONCE to keep me from scoring. (why I prefer to score on turn 7 when I can).

Honestly, it's well balanced. I say that as a Dwarf and Skaven player, so I have played with and against this tactic.

can't stand beer, but i do think germans make the best alcohols... they're called jagrmeister and goldschlager. either mixed together or seperate, that's the way to truly drink alcohol!

strangely enough, jagrmeister does come in a green bottle...but it's kept in the freezer so skunking isn't really an issue.
