Re: [Elecraft] [OT] American Beer, was: 2M module
Okay, Ed, I won't hold it against you that you're a MSU grad. :-) Go Blue! Can't wait for the football season to begin next week. Another lousy beer that we had in Michigan was Strohs. Spelled backward it's "Shorts," and tastes like that was the filter! Now there is a microbrewery named Shorts Brewing. Grand Rapids was named beer capital USA when we were there this year. We stopped at Arcadia in Battle Creek and Founders in Grand Rapids for lunch and beer to go. Also hit up Bell's General Store in Kalamazoo and a small microbrewery in Sparta that had beer and wine tasting and sales. When we were in Fairbanks and Anchorage in 1997, I fell in love with your Alaskan Amber. We used to have to go to northern California to buy it, but now I can get it locally. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 8/23/2013 9:37 AM, Edward R Cole wrote: Wow, talk about off topic...well As a young man growing up in Michigan it was Carling and Shlitz and rhymed with OK, I'll keep it clean!

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] American Beer, was: 2M module
Stone products are enjoying very widespread distribution today. I noticed them on restaurant menus back in Michigan and Ohio a few months ago, when we were there for Dayton and to visit the in-laws. I can remember when Stone was headquartered in an small industrial park in San Marcos. Now the brewery is in Escondido and is quite large. There are tours of the brewery and there is a gift shop. There is also an excellent restaurant and beer garden, and I understand there are plans for a hotel and a farmers' market on the premises. Look for the new Palomar Hospital on the hill. You can see it for miles. Stone is their neighbor (or, rather, the hospital is Stone's neighbor; Stone having been in that relatively-undeveloped part of town first). 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 8/23/2013 8:51 AM, Keith Heimbold wrote: Got to comment on a local San Diego brewery that may or may not be well known called Stone brewery.

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] American Beer, was: 2M module
My first visit to the US was in 1971. I spent 9 weeks in Anaheim CA. Too much fun to be homesick. The only thing I missed was decent beer. Apart from a pint of Watneys Red Barrel on the QE2 at Long Beach and some Guiness in a bar that a sales rep had left a crate on approval, it was a pretty dry time. Since then I have been back to the US many times both on business and pleasure. Whether the UK Real Ale movement can take any credit I don't know, but each visit gets better beer wise. Micro Breweries and locally produced beers are making a big difference. This year we managed to travel to Chicago, Vegas, Memphis and Nashville "sampling" great beers at every opportunity...

Re: [Elecraft] [OT] American Beer, was: 2M module
Definitely OT but a subject dear to a Brits heart!, the story of Budvar and Budweiser is interesting and worth looking up, Budvar is certainly worth drinking, Budweiser.well... Yes I spend a lot of time in the US, I lived in Texas for a year in the mid 80s and beer was a problem, these days you have seen the light! I've even seen proper English beer pumps serving real ale in PA.

[Elecraft] [OT] American Beer, was: 2M module
I was in the Czech Republic last month for a caving conference. A large number of us were traveling on a railroad from Prague to Brno in a hired dining car. The only beer available on the menu was Budweiser. We Americans almost rioted until the Czechs explained that the beer was Budvar, a German light larger whose maker is in a trademark dispute with the American Budweiser. American craft brewers, a movement started by Fritz Maytag's Anchor Steam beer, make creditable beers. This movement is similar in goals to the British Real Beer movement. Good locally made beers are available almost everywhere in the US these days at small breweries with attached pubs and in stores.
