  • No eclipse this year. :-(

    Next year are they gonna head for southern Africa to try to catch the eclipse again?

    I know I'm gonna try to be there for it, but don't particularly want to travel there on my own. So if there's a LBW connected with it I'd consider joining.

    It is. It is illegal to buy beer in a pub if you're under 18, illegal to consume it if you're under 18, to buy it for someone who is under 18 or to attempt to buy it if you're under 18 or for someone who is.

    It's best not to try. the fine is 400 pounds, and the pub can loose its license.

    But you're right, they're far less puritanical about alcohol over here than in the USA.
  • Ummm... it _IS_ in England. In the Lake District.
  • I was in Minneapolis and then Philadelphia in
    January and discovered to my delight that Sam Adams seems to be available on tap in lots of bars in the States these days. Speaking as someone who
    takes his beer seriously, I would say that's a good start. I really can't manage to get the Bud/Coors/Schlitz (sp?) stuff down my throat, it's not what I would call a real beer. Can't say I'm a big fan of Corona either, but on a very hot day at a ball game it would be acceptable. Of course over here, we drink the stuff at cellar temperature and I find that beer chilled to US temperatures is already off on a losing streak ....

    I don't know if things have changed in the past ten years, but when I was in Germany, beers were typically served at just below room temp...cool at best. And they didn't taste "terrible" at all but quite tasty, as a matter of fact.

    A joke among the Germans is that Americans drink their beers cold in order to hide the taste.

    Personally, I believe there are no bad beers...just some are better than others.

  • Dude, Pilsner Urquell is THE pilsner. There is no other pilsner that can compare, the rest are (literally, since Pilsner Urquell was the first pilsner) poor imitations. But good beer can be found in the US, you just have to look harder. Victory makes some good stuff, and Bert Grant's, and in Cleveland there's Great Lakes, and they make a wicked good Dortmunder. Suprisingly, there is good american beer made in bulk - there's a hefe-weissen made by Miller (iirc) that is way good, too. But the best way to go, wherever you are, is local beer, which is why Philly rocks for beer (Victory, Yards, and a few dozen small brew pubs).

    itachi, who could use a nice pint of Mackeson Milk Stout right now...

  • There may be pilsner you like better, but there's a reason that it's called Urquell. It's the first. It literally the pilsner that all of the others are trying to emulate. Though truth be told, pretty much any really good pilsner is good enough for me. Anyone near Philly should try both the Stoudt's and Victory pilsners. Yum.

  • Beer in the Czech Republic is as good as Austria, and it's usually about US$0.07 per pint (In touristy area, you'll pay up to 50-cents...)

    Plus the Czechs are hiking maniacs... every trail is marked incredibly well, so that even the most drunken Penguin can find her way from town to town...

    Do you have any suggestions for beer available in the US. What's your favorite? Since I've always lived in the US and American beer is all I know, I don't have much to compare it with. I haven't tried every kind available, but of those I have, I like Corona the best.

  • I've got a great idea -- how about a Linux Snowshoeing Hike in Minnesota? :^)

  • OK, so since I got 2 responses to this slightly off-topic post, I suppose I should explain myself:
    Heiniken = good beer (green bottle gets plusses) you can drink & get drunk off easily enough
    Corona = good beer for sitting outside bullshitting on a warm sunny day
    Olde English 800 = best in the bullet 40oz bottles. great malt liquor for a roudy-ass drunk. good music to listen to during drinking - rap
    Steel Reserve = great in 36oz cans & 40oz bottles. another great malt liquor as OE 800

    I think for the beer hike, however, something else should be drank. A lighter beer that doesn't weigh down the stomach but gets you fucked up.

  • I don't know how you Americans can drink that crap you dare call the same name

    Neither can I, and I'm an American. Most Amer. beer is crap. Guiness, however, tastes like tar. Corona, Heiniken - these are good beers. Of course, nothing can beat hard liquor, Olde English 800, or Steel Reserve. Plus, there's something to be said for having a beer bottle/can that you can use to beat the hell outta someone when it's empty.

  • But I *really* like Schlitz. Not the "bull" Schlitz, or the 'ice' variety, but good old fashioned, gold and purple canned beer that made Milwaukee famous, "just the kiss of the hops" Schlitz. For roughly $2.49 a 6 pack I get more flavor and buzz than anything else domestic.

    The only thing I've found close is a German beer that came in a clay jar called "Bock Im Stein"...of course that was $6.00 a jar (also one of those flattened you, guess that's why it's a "bock").

    Anyway, I just thought I'd pop in real quick and plug my favorite unpretentious beer. If you ever have an extra 2 and a half to spend, stop on my the A&P and pick one up.

  • Just curious, if it was cold, how could we taste it? English beer loses so much of the flavour when served cold by bad pubs. Does anyone know what is different about American beer that it has (presumably) flavour when cold? I can only suppose that it tastes awful, so they have to chill it for it to be drinkable (Which is the case with British lager type products IMO). Please enlighten me.

  • Here in the Bay Area, my favorites are Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Anchor Steam beer. Beer that are definitely distinctive in taste and WAY superior to that p*** called Budweiser. ;-)
  • Just what kind of beer were you drinking? If you were in Bavaria, beer has to be fairly cold because the purity laws there results in beer that goes stale pretty quickly at warmer temperatures.

    It depends on what is the yeast used to ferment the beer; if it doesn't ferment on the bottom of the barrel, then it could be served at wine cellar temperatures (10-12 degrees Celsius) without going stale quickly.
  • ...would be Belgium? It's not as hilly, so less strenuous for unfit geeks. Plus they have great beer. Lots of styles, most of them very alcoholic. German beer, while better than the piss that Americans apparently enjoy drinking, gets a little samey after a few liters.

  • Beer sucks in the US! You want some really GOOD beer, go to Austria and try some of the local brews. You'll never want to go back.

    PS: I know there are some reasonably good beers in the US too, I was being melodramatic.

  • I've gotta come to the defence of Guiness here ;)
    It's not beer, it's Stout,...

    Stout (und thus Guinness) IS a beer. Compare http://beerhunter.com/beerstyles.html [beerhunter.com].
    Of course, the guinness, served here in the US does differentiate in taste from the original guinness quite a lot, I've been told. I don't know about guinness, but Beck's (also a beer, though a Pilsener) for example DOES taste quite different in the US than it does in Germany.

    Unfortunately for me, the americans seem to prefer ale and lager (both beer's as well) to Pilsener, so that beck's had to adjust their beer to the american market.
    Heineken is ok over here, not much better or worse than in the Netherlands and probably the best Pilsener you can get in the US is Pilsener Urquell.

    I find it importantto mention that the *original* Budweiser, a czech Pilsener, is a _delicous_ beer, while the beer commonly known under the name "Budweiser" is HORSEPISS!

Start in Paris (Versailles), out to the coast (Chinon), down to Burdeaux, across France to end up at Avignon. Time will be about four weeks, basically a segment a week.

    Object: to start with easy biking, get drunk on good wine, visit cafes, cherchez les femmes (et pour les femmes de geek, les hommes), and end up at Cannes ready to enjoy the beach. The last week will be a killer, but if you want an easy ride, the first three segments are easy.

    From the website:

    Accommodation will be in Hotels, B&B, Youth Hostels or camp sites. You make your own booking at the place of your choice.

    The Lake District is a beautiful place, and therefore is innundated with tourists during the summer. So many people go there that the (very narrow) roads are often jammed and accomodation is hard to come by. So if you're thinking of going, try to book your accomodation NOW (or as soon as possible).

Why do people like me have to take the blame for tech stocks going up and down also? Personally, I hate "dot-coms." Profit from the net will come for business-to-business, not this business-to-whoever-I-can-find. I'm an electrical and computer engineering major and so many times I see people missing the point of the internet for commerce(uh oh, set myself up for a flame here). Does anybody really care about www.watchmecrap.com? Of course not! But so many people are investing in this junk. First in the new economy we need a sense of reality about what Americans need and will buy. Engineers like myself NEED to make products that have SIMPLE user interfaces and don't require a lot of computer science to finish. A window manager on top of linux is just about as bad as windows on top of DOS. Granted, the linux version is much more stable, but can the AVERAGE user figure it out? The problem with Windows is that people don't understand how the registry works. However, the problem with linux is that people don't understand how anything works. We as a computing society need to provide the average user with an interface for linux that works as a GOOD link to the net, a GOOD gaming system, a GREAT application environment for word processing, spreadsheets, and other dumb stuff that I don't use. But anyway, I think that my original point is that many linux people should go out and get some sun because I'm sure that the majority of us are pale and white, the only tan we have is coming from a bunch of flourescent lighting. Yikes, what I just wrote is disorganized and not totally what i mean, but it has some good juicy bits of stuff to debate about. Have fun!

    So what? The UK has a staggered drinking age: 5 (sic) in private, 16 in a pub or restaurant with a meal (limited to beer, cider and wine) and 18 to buy anything you want. You can drink in public too provided you're over 5 and someone else has done the buying if you're under 18 - it's perfectly OK to take beers or bottles of wine on a picnic. But it's all pretty academic as no-one ever checks IDs anyway - they're just not hung up on it in the way that Americans are. I used to go to the pub for a couple of quiet pints and a game of pool with my dad when I was 15.

    You can get a round trip ticket from the East Coast of the US for under $300 and it will cost you about $12 per night to stay at the youth hostels.

    It depends on the British beer.

    Remember, many British beers uses yeast that ferments at the top of the barrel, so this means the fermenting process can occur at around room temperature (20 degrees Celsius). As a result, you drink British beer at around wine cellar temperature (10-12 degrees Celsius).

    German beer (which most of the world is familiar with) ferments at the bottom of the barrel, so this means the fermenting process has to work at nearly the freezing temperature of water (around 2-4 degrees Celsius). That's why you drink it at refrigerator temperatures, and American beers are that way because the American beer companies were all founded by people of German descent.

    Try the St. Pauli Girl, Spaten or Beck's that is brewed in Germany for European consumption; they have to be served cold or it tastes terrible.
