The article about the dry counties in Alaska that have banned yeast and sugar:

Emphasis added. I would like to make a small correction to you here Revvy. It was a Marine, not a soldier. I'm a former Marine myself, and there is a distinction. Not saying anything bad about our compatriots in the Army with that, just noting the distinction for those who might not know.

And there are still some really neolithic laws restricting sales in many, many states. A lot of places you can't buy anything on Sunday outside of a bar. Some states you can only get 3.2% ABV beer or below in a grocery store, and anything else has to be in a specialty liquor store. As though high alcohol beers and hard liquors will somehow contaminate food. Bah.
Never heard that before, I thought soldier was the umbrella term for all millitary combat troops no matter what the branch?
Or is the distinction more in the minds of the Marines?
Thank you that. And, furthermore (and this is from one marine to another), there is no such thing as a former marine. I know you knew that tho
There are few things in a young Marine's life that make you swell with pride more than that moment, when you graduate basic, and the base commander welcomes you, "Good morning Marines". First time you're called a Marine...It's pretty awesome.
...... though I think if you were to call an Army veteran a Marine, he would likely correct you for that.
Yep, this is one of the main reasons I first got into homebrewing.
Went to a brewpub for dinner one night and got exposed to some seriously good beer for the first time, and after that started trying out all the craft beers I could get my hands on. This led to reading beer reviews on different sites online so I would know which ones to keep my eyes open for.
So, of course, after trying my first really good pale ale, I was curious to try an IPA. And ya know what? Couldn't fine one anywhere!
In Iowa, any beer over a certain ABV can't be sold. And that level is low enough to exclude most IPAs. Even in a liquor store next to all the wine, Jack Daniels, Bacardi 151, and Everclear, they can't legally sell a 9% ABV beer.
So yeah, a very large part of my motivation for getting into homebrewing was to be able to try out styles that weren't legal to purchase in Iowa. I now live in Illinois where things are a bit more reasonable, at least I can find a DIPA or Imperial Stout on the shelves, but now that I've caught the homebrewing bug, well, that's something that doesn't just go away....
You know the President isn't brewing, that's for sure. This is the same guy that chose Bud Light for the Beer Summit. A great opportunity for craft beer exposure to the world and he chooses Bud Light!!.
Except he would have gotten **** for choosing craft beer. I would have picked Yuengling, at least it's actually an American brewery, and black and tan is good.
Guess what? Iowa got with the program last year and got rid of that stupid law. Free at last, free at last. Thank god almighty we're free at last!!
Yes, one of the cooks at the White House does the brewing.
I gonna have to send him a mashpaddle ASAP
I am certain he doesn't have the time to slave over a kettle.
bengerman said:I dunno, man. GWB sure played a lot of golf... i gould see Obama sneaking in brew sessions here and there. especially with assistants to take over if he gets pulled away.
Doesnt get more American, President drinking homebrew on the patio with a Medal of Honor recipient, regardeless of your political views its pretty damn awesome
