I guess the point is that any beer is "a real man's beer" if it's in a real man's hand.
Bud leaves you sober enough to accomplish great things. I'll drink a real beer in his honor!

Just because I still respect Budweiser-drinking Uncle Picklenose doesn't mean he'll respect a Bud Light drinker.
I found the only downside when I renovated my house (southside slopes), It was pretty clear that Uncle Luddy and Jimmy and Sal from down the street did the framing and electrical (stealing names from my Slovak great aunts/uncles that grew up in the 'burgh).
On topic, there's no better place to hear funny things about beer than southside on a weekend.
My buddy is starting to get into beer. Let him my copy of Tasting Beer and he's starting to learn. Anyway, he asked if Miller Lite is hoppier because it's "triple hops brewed". It was very hard to suppress my laughter (he is new to this stuff to be fair) and I explained how it's a marketing gimmick.
You'd be surprised by the "extras" some manufacturers add to your favorite beers. Hari called individual companies to ask for ingredient lists and found that some beers contain ingredients like corn syrup and caramel coloring. Caramel coloring is known to be carcinogenic. Hari said beer manufacturers use caramel colouring to give the beers a "deep golden brown" colour that is typically achieved by using high quality hops.
Our local free daily newspaper ("Metro") has an article in it today with some suggestions for keeping the pounds off during holiday drinking. The section on beer cautions against additives included by some of the bigger brewers.
I guess that's why when you want a nice, dark stout, you have to use the expensive, high-quality hops like East Kent Goldings, but if you're making a light blonde pilsener, you can use the cheap, crappy hops like Saaz.
GrogNerd said:it's well-documented that "Foodbabe" is a ignorant, scaremongering hack.
The last thread on her beer article was interesting. Her article seemed like a lot of glittering generalities for senseationalistic journalism full of half truths & misleading statements.
What was even more infuriating than Foodbabe's willful ignorance was the fact that she DELETED comments from professional brewers and from homebrewers like us pointing out the inaccuracies. Such bull***t.
Maybe someone should point out to her the ingredients in that glass of wine she is drinking at the bottom of the article. Do you think she realized that selective grape breeding is technically genetically modifying the grapes?

Wasn't bad stuff either.

Good for her that she doesn't know any German. If she had read and understood the current German legislation for beer, she'd know that fining agents of any source are legal to use and, in top cropping beers, not only all kinds of sugar (corn sirup!) and coloring but even artificial sweeteners.
Yeah... artificial selection is not what's typically meant when talking about GMOs. Except by flaming pedants, obviously.
Crossing breeds of anything uses the natural life processes,so they really aren't the same as GMO's. I used to do that with tropical fish...GMO fish?
Ha. Yeah,it's just a bit more complicated than just smurfin off...I used a seperate tank to get them in the mood with fresh live food & a lil quiet time.
Censoring? So she really gets journalism.
