That was hilarious. After a half dozen beers, who cares anyway?

Sight: Look at the beers label. Stop right there. If you can read the fine print on the label, you really need another beer. A truly fine beer is graded by a mysterious figure in the corner of the label: a number, usually to one decimal place, and the mystic runes "% Alc." No one really knows where, in the misty reaches of time, this set of characters came to be, but they're nearly infallible.
Now I'm thirsty.

funny article. The american micro industry is doing ale (and some lagers) as good as anywhere else in the world now, aside from british real ale and some very specific belgian styles.

“Chimay Blue here, please! “
Anyone who says all beer tastes the same has not tried Chimay Blue! It’s the Champagne of beers bar none.
Don’t try it unless you want to get absolutely spoiled on $13 per bottle beer.

Cheap wine and expensive beer. That's my motto.
You can get decent enough red wine for under $12. And while by no means can I say I make a lot of money, life is too short to worry about an extra $2.00 for a six pack of a good beer.
These are truly wonderous times in which we live.

The Beer Fuehrer This curmudgeonly gentlemen will declare he would rather guzzle urine than drink what he considers bad beer. And by bad he means any beer that comes in a can, has commercials on television, or has been heard of by more than fifty people. He can only pity the poor fools who sit in bars drinking the swill disgorged by the vast corporate vats, when they could be drinking swill produced in much smaller ones.
That hits too close to home.
Now I need a bottle of Bell's.

Looks like Guinness. At $12 a bottle, I’d rather be drinking Guinness.
