Per James’ comment in a previous email, I’ve been told a number of
beers that are popular/well-received in the US have low opinions in
the UK or elsewhere in Europe. Newcastle and Old Speckled Hen are
two examples.
Definitely agree with Kurt. mmmm….Stone. Young’s Double Chocolate.
J Add in Southern Tier in NY and Mendocino Brewing in CA as two more
of my US faves. Also love almost everything Samuel Smith.

Most American major brands (Bud, Coors, Miller, etc.) are swill, not
lager.
OTOH, there are a *lot* of smaller brands with good stouts, porters,
IPAs and others.
I'm particularly fond of some of the Stone offerings, and Young's
Chocolate Stout, among others.
Heck, I also like Shiner Bock.

American beer is lager
This topic will now soon be banned from here too, along with BBQ sauce

It is an international mailing list and you can imagine the
"american beer is water" type arguments. The burgers wars were
just incredible. Who knew burgers, the types of meat, the style
of cooking, comparing various chains, cooking methods, etc etc
etc. It was such a horrible thread, I being the list owner had to
step in and ban the topic from further discussion. It has been 10
years since all three thread topics were banned. When we tuba
players gather at conferences, the list members still talk about
the vile language and name calling that went on in those
"discussions". They would have made Gary Slinger look like a
saint! :)

Is it the well done/not well done burger debate?
I can't imagine what situation arose that needed to ban beer from
the discussion. It must have been truly heinous.

I run a mailing list for tuba and euphonium players since mid
90s. There are three banned topics:
Drum & Bugle Corp
Burgers
Beer
Who would have thought that tuba players would be banned from
discussing beer and hamburgers!!! But in that world, those
are world war starting topics.

I agree. It's been my experience that the topics that start
the most fights around here are indeed politics, religion, and
BBQ.
