As for me, if they'd leave out the grain and brew beer solely from hops,
I'd be very happy...

Still, there's nothing wrong with Busch, PBR, Bud, and so on.  Not on a
hot day.  Not if it's cold.  Just look at all the Denizens drinking the
stuff while bitching about it...

Jeez, I'll even drink Iron City, or Olympia, or Milwaulkee's Best, and
like it too.  The only beer I won't drink is Rolling Rock -- until the
yuppie movement decided the bottle was cool it was mentioned in the same
manner as the other beers in this paragraph, usually accompanied by a
phrase like "even worse than Shaeffer".  Yeah, I'll drink Shaeffer and
like it too... but not Rolling Rock.

Oh, and *don't* *ever* get a hangover on Newcastle Brown (or Newcastle
Amber, for that matter, which I actually prefer).  It is the most evil
hangover you can possibly imagine.
