October 27th is National American Beer Day

Cheers everyone! :cheers: Hubby's going to barbeque some rib-eye steaks for us, and we'll be celebrating the holiday with a Fosters or two! :D
 
I've had a few good American beers - all from Micro breweries. However I used to live near one of England's best family owned breweries - Gales Ales. In the village, so called 'lagers' and such the like were swear words!

Anyway, the story goes that at an international brewers' conference, some of the delegates decided to go for a drink.
The head of Fosters, said I'll have a pint of Fosters. The head of Coors, said I'll have a glass of Coors. George Gale said, I'll have a cup of tea. If you guys aren't drinking beer, neither will I :)
 
Luckily, I spent several years in Germany, and got quite accustomed to their stout beers. When I came back to the States, and had an American beer again, it was like drinking polluted water. There is a good micro brewery at one of the casinos we visit, and a couple of times a year I will partake of one of their brews. Most of the major beer brands...especially the "lite" beers, are nothing but a trigger to activate the "bladder"...IMO.
