I can drink a Shiner Bock if someone else pays for it. McEwans’s Scotch Ale, however, is a true delight.

(And for those who really insist on being able to see objects on the other side of the glass, there _is_ an excellent brew (although it is sometimes difficult to find), _Kulmbacher_.)

I am glad this thread was not about having a [small fish](http://www.umich.edu/~bio440/fieldtrips97/ficomshi.html) in one’s hand.

Yeah, well, what about Jax Beer? Do they still sell it in Texas?

I used to be a beer snob, then I realized I was getting all huffy over the squeezings from a decomposing grain slurry.

It’s beer. Some is good, some is bad. Being a snob about it is kind of like being a snob about what brand of horse manure you spread over your garden; when you get down to it, it’s all just sh\*t. 🙂
