Have you watched the series Oz and James Drink to Britain? It's a great series. James May and Oz Clark on a beer wine and spirits drinking trip through England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
I have all the episodes from Youtube linked here.
They even try homebrewing.

Wow, I was going to go to the classic, "your mom" but everyone's posts are way to mature and touching (minus toby keith).
hmm... I guess my Dad. He's still alive, but is a strict teetotaler. In a different life.

The president....I hear he brews.
Seriously though I'd love to share my beer with both my late Father who died 7 years ago, shortly before I started brewing, and my brother who died 16 years before (he was 16 years older than me), and his death was the reason I didn't start brewing back then.
16 years ago, before he was taken from cancer he and I were looking at starting what would have been the 3rd Micro Brewery to open in Metro Detroit. He was a commercial developer, and was working on a major development that would have included a Spanish Restaurant and a Micro Brewery. At that time I was reading as much as I could about brewing, and was going to start homebrewing.
In fact a couple days before Christmas I was heading out to try to find what was then the only homebrewshop in the area, which was in a hardware store (It would later become Cap and Cork for any Metro Detroiters reading this,) to buy my starter kit. I couldn't find the place (before gps and cellphones lol) and planned to go try to find it again while I was off the week between Christmas and New Years.....
Two days later, Christmas Eve morning, I got a call from my sister in law that he was dying. I got there just after he drew his last breath....and I never made it to the brewshop until 8 years later, the day after Christmas, about a month after my dad died....
So yeah, I'd really like to share my beers with them.
why, so you could hear him ***** all night about how Edison abused him and stole his inventions?
Ok, I'm done for the night
mrgstiffler said:Meh, Tesla's mind far exceeded Edison's. That's what having a beer would be about (although, I'm sure Tesla would just criticize me the entire time). Edison was a good inventor and had a lot of applied experience but didn't have the imagination and intellect that Tesla did.
My science/knowledge picks would include this guy... surprised only one person picked this obvious choice.Subsailor said:1. Leonardo DaVinci
