Post #259,862 by folkert 6/23/06 10:12:24 PM Reply	I define Great as: Drinkable without making excuses. I am open to just about anything. But for one specific example: Bare-Knuckle Stout on tap. One to stay away from: Guinness "premium" in a bottle or can. Makes shoe leather taste good. On tap is tolerable. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Post #259,881 by folkert 6/23/06 11:04:51 PM Reply	Good looking beer. I am sure the any of the Beers are good. When a brewer advertises "balance" for what they brew, typically the beer is good tasting, whatever it is. I am sure I'll like it. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Post #259,902 by broomberg 6/24/06 8:54:25 AM Reply	That's too bad I need to call more places. Of the few I mamanged to get a hold of last night, the only place that had what I considered "non-standard" beer was Ponzios, ie: a diner. Now, mind you, it's a decent diner. But it's still a diner. It's a fallback for me as far as food choices go. I'll keep trying.
Post #259,911 by folkert 6/24/06 12:32:58 PM Reply	Just find a place that has non-pisswater on tap besides... the pisswater (budweiser, miller, etc American "what passes for Beer") A good rich beer is all I really need. Sam Adams or Bare Knuckle Stout or other good beers. No need to be locked out of good restaurants because of my drinking habits. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

Post #259,918 by broomberg 6/24/06 3:09:32 PM Reply	Oh, Sam Adams is OK? List a few more, then. You need to keep in mind when I was calling places I simply got a list of brews, and if I did not recognise it I then asked you. But maybe recognizable is OK,so you really do have to give me a list of good beers so when I make the calls I'll know.
