h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm going to have to give your cider a try when we're over ... To me, here, it's an okay drink but nothing special. As for beer, we have perhaps a dozen national brewers, each with a handful of recipes. SOme quite good, some you'd be satisfied to try just the once. The only time I've met British beer or ale was at a restuarant that specialized in Brit meals. SO I've only tried a few ...

Hi
There is a guide of the best I have found on my homepage. They are all bottled and travel well, see if there are any that is why I did it that way as they could turn up anywhere. With your connections an old airforce buddy might put a bottle or three on a flight from the UK.

Nearly all these brewers have on line shops you never know they could ship direct...

The taste notes are my opinion but accuarate enough to make a choice...

Something called Hard Cider gets produced in the US, I read it in Peyton Place, some guy killed himself drinking it, or something

I've briefly browsed your page, Bob, and will have to give it a better read when time allows. My day is about to begin ... But it looks like a good "man on the street" appraisal of brews.

And I recall having read bits about "Hard Cider". Not commonly brewed stuff, but intentionally fortified to be nearly blindingly strong stuff. Anyone who would try on something with such a reputation is either stupid, or trying to build their own "manly-man" reputation. Again, a trait that is stupid, in my opinion.

Yes they try an up spec cider here, but in the pub chuck a double scotch in a pint. A proper brewer has a standard to which he will set himself and stand by. Real UK cider has no need of extra punch, its a powerful pint anyway.

If you want something with an extra kick go for Scrumpy, proper somerset brewed scrumpy

Absolutly the cheeper clouder rougher the more dangerous.
Shop bought stuff Inches white lightening was good but taken over by Bulmers so I dont know now.

Personally, I don't need an "extra kick". A good and full-flavoured beer or ale, a well aged scotch-whisky, I am quite happy to sip and share time with good friends. It's not been about the effect, the binging or any of that atleast one marriage ago. The effects of a good woman, eh?

Then rare hare will suit you sir, look at

and drool a loverly beer, and its organic, a beautiful drink as requested.

To be honest? I've never cared or noticed of differences about "organic" ... But their brews look very tasty.

Oh yes they are very tasty, do they ship to Canada.

I am in a pretty small "city"-town. So such imports won't appear in the Brewer's Retail. Mind, I do have a steady supply of marmite, so anything is possible.

Happy New Year

Bob

And happy wishes for the best New Year to you, my friend. If you get hungry tonight, I know where there will be a massive load of potato salad, and a macaroni and ham salad ...

They've just been built and are in our 2nd fridge. For tonight's "do".

Habe a good time

It's mostly "old-school" Air Force folks, their spouses, some adult kids ... They only know of one type of party ...

Great loads of quality food, bigger measures of beer, wine and liquor, and than dance hard to stir it all well.

Happy New Year Guys

happy new year

Happy New Year, ladies. and
