Beer is made from hops and grains = healthy plants = salad. Beer = salad. You're welcome.
PS...Any Morgbot lurkers out there may feel free to use this line of infallible logic on their bishop next time they have a TR interview!
For the record, I just had my own beer recipe brewed and served by a local brewing company here in the Greensboro, NC, area. It was a Hawaiian-themed IPA featuring essences of ripe mango and pineapple. Not overpowering fruity...very gentle and subtle...in fact, it was the gentle sweetness of the fruit that helped tame the hoppy bitterness of the IPA. Quite an excellent batch! We sold out the keg, and it was genuinely a big hit all evening!! I have pictures, if anybody is interested! -edz
I don't drink, but if I did, I'd drink only American owned and brewed. All the big ones (Coors, Bud,etc.) are owned by multinationals.
Sam Adams is the largest American-owned and brewed line of beers. If you're in Boston, they have a free tour and sampling room in their original brewery. Anybody passing through, I'll be happy to take you--and you can even drink my samples!
I just did some checking, and found that an article that posts high on Google is not accurate: Russian-based Oasis Beverages never did buy Pabst Holdings, which brews Ballantine and numerous other "legacy brands." So drink away, Dave. You'll be welcome with the grunge crowd.
My faves are Strong Dark Belgians, Sours, and Scottish Wee Heavies. Due to my trade, however, I have to know what makes for a good beer in any style, so my beer drinking habits are wildly promiscuous.

I actually get paid to write beer reviews. probably because I have tasted almost 4,000 different and distinct beers in the past 11 years. But please, continue to make a fool of yourself.

...and didn't mean to slight or question your professional credentials. If I offended, I apologize. Your work is probably a too-good-to-be-true situation for beer lovers.
In my drinking days, I drank "for effect," not for taste.
And truthfully, I was a little too quick on the gun, being offended.
But yeah, it's a gig from my dreams. I even get press credentials for the beer festivals I attend. It all started with me answering a web ad looking for beer writers.
A fresh microbrew Love IPA! My new summer favorite is to have 1 Corona then 1 Linenkugals Summer Shandy. Repeat as many times as needed.I just love beer but my drinking days are less as I age.I enjoy most of our local microbrews here in Salt Lake Citt Tay.
It's amazing how the stuff from stores seems so much less appealing.
The group of guys, mostly guys, who form a loose brew community where I live all get much higher alcohol content, and stronger flavor than any I've bought in stores.
