Remember When Beer Was Real?

I'm only familiar with Minnesota.

That distinctive taste in beer comes from the hops they add to the fermenting process.

I find European beers much more 'hoppier' than domestic beers.

Germany also has strict purity laws regarding what's allowed in beers. Here in the US one can use any grains to make beer.

You should try some of the craft IPA's if you like a hoppier beer. I'm not a big fan of hops so I shy away from most IPA's.
 

I was raised on a farm. Mom milked the cows by hand. What came out of the back side of a cow looked a lot like beer. In was the same color and foamy around the edges. Grin.

A while back after a hot day on the golf course. Drank ginger beer. Nearly died. Had a stomach ache so bad and couldn't do anything about it. I don't believe in putting anything in a beer glass except beer. Here at one time they used to put tomato juice in the draft beer. It was quite popular at one time but no longer.
Now I won't put the lime slice in Corona beer. That's terrible.
I toured a brewery. They told us not to call the head on a beer 'foam'.
It's the 'boquet.' I have to tell the bartenders that as they try to fill it up to the brim.

Ouch. There's a saying among the guys. Never trust anyone that won't have a beer with you.

I’m ok with that. I’m not really a drinker. Occasionally I’ll have an Amaretto Sour - Amaretto, lime juice and Triple Sec on ice. It’s sooo good🤤. Like MarciKS, I prefer sweet drinks. It’s probably good that I don’t have them often or I’d be a total lush. 🥴

However, most beer is made with malting barley. The barley is sprouted and then stopped because that's when the alcohol starts. We have a plant in town that ships malting barley all over the world. The barley comes from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba in Western Canada.

DH told me this morning that he read that non alcoholic beer will be for sale soon.

Both of us wonder....why bother?

I drink it on a regular basis and have been doing that for years. I like it because it has the beer like flavor that I get from beer without the alcohol. It works well as a beer substitute when I'm pairing it with a meal where I want beer, but by itself it isn't as good. My favorite brand used to be carried by Trader Joes, but they stopped carrying it earlier this year.

I definitely prefer alcoholic beer because it has a crispness from the bite of the alcohol that non-alcohol beers don't have.
 
I drank a river of beer when I was younger.

I was raised on ice cold PBR from a (steel) can served at beer joints that had pool tables, jukeboxes, and women. Well one (run by a woman) didn’t allow women inside, too many fights.
