> Since we’re talking about skunky beer, I would like to warn everybody about the dangers of “Bavaria.” This Holland brewed, green glass bottled “beer” is the most horrible and foul liquid ever perpetrated upon mankind. At least, the six-pack that we had was, and I’d rather go bobbing for apples in high molar sulfuric acid before I’d voluntarily put Bavaria in my mouth again.

I don’t know what that is, but Yes.

Yes. Hell yes. And if I had to choose between Bavaria and a cup of my own urine, well, let’s just say I don’t want to have to make that choice. And it did come in green bottles, **I Love Me** , at least it did the last I saw of it.

Yeah, the European green glass beers can be trouble, since they have to cross the ocean and all that. (Never had a bad [Pilsner Urquell](http://www.ratebeer.com/ShowBeer.asp?BeerID=717) though. Mmm, Pilsner Urquell…)

Of course, being Canadian I have to laugh at your puny excuses for American beer.

Come up here some time, and try some of our Big Rock Traditional Ale. Or Rickard’s Red. Or Kokanee Gold. Or even a good old Molson Canadian.

Canadian beer rocks.

Molson can’t hold a candle to any of the Sierra Nevada beers, Liberty Ale or Anchor Steam. It’s not the nation of origin that makes good beer, it’s the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the braumeister.

That said, American Light Lagers (BudMillerCoors) are horrible beers whether skunked or not.

Nothing worse than when your car hits a Bud trying to cross the road. It’ll stink for days.

I say, brew your own beer and pick your own color of bottles. Works for me.
