This just in, the main ingredient in beer is water.

Ripper: Mandrake?
Mandrake: Yes, Jack?
Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have, Jack.
Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?
Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes.
Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason.
Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack.
Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this Earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70 percent of you is water?
Mandrake: Good Lord!
Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously)
Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?
Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter)
Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol?
Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes.
Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water?
Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes.
Ripper: Well, do you know what it is?
Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no.
Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

Bud uses rice too.... but those Clydesdales are soooo beautiful and the AB prime time ads are sooo entertaining that I brand myself a Bud guy... Rice? A small price to pay for being Bud cool..... only Socialist use that Reinheitsgebot!!

Hey, Bud has a new beer out, called Black Crown. It's 6% alc. I bought a 12 pack a few weeks ago, it's not too bad, certainly better than regular Bud, a bit more hop flavor, not so much rice, and a little more kick. It only cost $1 more than a 12 pack of regular Bud. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=...electedIndex=4

I normally drink Sam Adams Imperial Stout, or their Double Bock, but that stuff is $10 for only 4 bottles, and not sold at the grocery store, you have to go find a good quality liquor store to get it.

I'll usually get Sierra Nevada Torpedo at my local grocer, on sale it's only $12.99 for a 12 pack. BTW, Sierra Nevada has a new brew out as well, it's called Ruthless Rye, very good if you like hops and it's got a good bite to it. Same price as the Torpedo and a nice change of pace for the taste buds.

You can take the boy out of New England, but you can't take the New England out of the boy!

Budweiser and all the similar American beers are "beer-inspired beverages", in much the same way that wine coolers are inspired by wine. Luckily, many American craft brewers have caught on and actually make beer. I'm not saying some of those American beers are not refeshing, just that they are not really beer. It doesn't get much better than a quality Belgian Trappist ale for me, but I like most full flavored beers.

I must agree, a couple of the German exchange officers I worked with would bring crates of real beer from the German BX at Holloman. I haven't had as they would say "a beer like substance" since...
