Guinness normally, but I'm biased...

I've been drinking Steamwhistle a fair bit lately, mostly as a flavour change... but I'll give most anything a try...

As of July 1, Georgia's beer laws will allow legal sale of beer over 6% ABV.

Fausto is very happy about this. :D

A lady walks into a bar and sees a really good-looking guy sitting at

the bar by himself. She goes over and asks him what he is drinking.

"Magic beer", he says.

She thinks he's a little crazy, so she walks around the bar, but after
realizing that there is no one else worth talking to, goes back to the
man sitting at the bar and says, "That isn't really magic beer, is
it?"

"Yes, I'll show you." He takes a drink of the beer, jumps out the
window, flies around the building three times and comes back in the
window.

The lady can't believe it: "I bet you can't do that again."

He takes another drink of beer, jumps out the window, flies around the
building three times, and comes back in the window.

She is so amazed that she says she wants a magic beer, so the guy says
to the bartender, "Give her one of what I'm having."

She gets her drink, takes a gulp of the beer, jumps out the window,
plummets 30 stories, breaks every bone in her body, and dies.

The bartender looks up at the guy and says, "You know, Superman,
you're a real asshole when you're drunk.

Mmmm...Smithwicks... a great bitterness to it that i just can't get enough of....

I find a great "Black and Tan" to be Guinness and Kilkenny, though I guess that's more of a Black and Sunburnt.. :D

This is a terrific Belgian style ale. You have to be thirsty to finish a bottle (750 ml) which is fairly potent.

Highly recommended if you can find it!:thumbsup:

Does that taste similar to Blue Moon because I'm a huge fan of Blue Moon (especially with an orange slice)?

Either way I'll certainly try it next time I find it on a menu or come across it in a store.

Hoegaarden Witbier, it will spoil you on all white beers..

And if anywhere near Milwaukee WI, This place is the bomb..;)

There is another place i hear in West Allis, but never been in it with close to 40 non-national brand taps.

Pffft. Hardly. Drunkards don't race bikes....at least not very well. :p

And what place did you take in your most recent race?

The prosecution rests.

I guess it depends on where you live in the U.S., it is available in Colorado Springs.
