Ale is an English drink. Originally it was not flavored with hops (and
it doesn't necessarily come in green bottles). It was often flavored
with spices such as clove (which still makes a fine Christmas-season
drink, if you make your own). "Beer" is the anglicization of the French
variant, bi¨re, which was flavored with hops. English soldiers returning
from war in France liked it so much that the ale-makers in England
eventually got with the program and figured out how to get and use hops.
Neither is produced in the US. :-)

Peter:
Is this beer at room temperature? I just glanced at Christopher
Green's post
.. I may have lost already. BUT, I want to look at the wording of the
questions before I concede. Hold on!! [If all all else fails I will
work on
a favorable definition of 'reasonable' - you know, it depends on what
the
definition of is, is :) ]
John,
The temperature of good beer depends where is the room: in Alabama or
in
John o' Groats*! Thought of artificially cooled English beer is
painful
(ugh!). As for the definition (actually the meaning) of 'is', I just
looked
it up in the Oxford English Dictionary: there are 10++ meanings. (The
point
Clinton made was not at all silly, but as a politician he should have
known
that most people would think it was.) So, don't worry about
definitions -
you may have set yourself an impossible task. And the bet: you say
tomato I
say tameito... So, let's call the whole thing off....
By the way, I just read Chris who thinks he was interjecting humor
into all
this; I thought you and I had already done that! (We are number ONE,
we
are...)
