America's a HUGE place, you know. I can tell you that the Seattle area is basically a beer-topia.
So is New England and the mid-Atlantic. Shit, Sam Adams has some really solid beers and they're a massive company, so it's not just smaller breweries.
I think we get the bad beer-putation from the South and Midwest. Where bars serve... Bud. And, if you're lucky... Bud Light.
Judging the US based only on the South would be like judging Europe based only on Slovakia.

Is Colorado the Midwest? Because a lot of people seem to like Coors (even though it kind of sucks). People used to risk jail time by smugling it across the Mississippi River. There are good beers in the South, mainly those from New Orleans or Mexico.

Wait, you're saying we're not supposed to judge Europe based solely on Slovakia?
Google Image Search for "slovakia people":
That's basically Europe, son. They should probably have a crap beer in one hand, a welfare check in the other, be smoking perfumed cigarettes and be surrendering to something, but it's pretty much the image "Europe" conjures up in my mind.

Well, none of the American road crew members that my colleagues (who work as get-in and get-out guys at gigs) have met, anyway. I couldn't say for sure where all those guys are from, but I would think from many parts of the USA; and they would have visited most areas in the USA as well, during their employers' tours. Likewise, they all drank beer, to my knowledge.

No, no, Morbius! That's France you're thinking of, not Europe! That would be like thinking the entire USA is like Arkansas.

Sans UK, I think that describes Europe very well. There may be some regional differences, like windmills and wooden shoes over here and broken-down concentration camps over there, but it's a good baseline.
England is not Europe. It's more like East Canada. And Canada is just USA North. Of course, I don't know where Scotland fits into that. I imagine it as a lawless land where fat, naked Scotsmen hack at each other with battle axes, then retire to the moors to bang a sheep before slaughtering it and eating all the least-edible parts.

Hey morbs, I'm thinking about doing my beer card at Bukowski's in somerville. Want in? You have 6 months to go through 136 different beers from around the world. once you complete it you get a good size beer mug that they keep at the bar for you. The mug is engraved with the name of your favorite dead author as well as your member number. Oh and no one else will ever drink out of it but you!
This invite goes out to anyone in the boston/cambridge, ma area who wants to do a beer card..

Something tells me the bar wouldn't be open for very long if long if that was the case. They would have to engrave an effigy into the mug. I'm a heavy drinker (and smoker) but that would kill me pretty quick.@galgorah said:

In the US we have wiggers, which are retarded white people who "act black" and do a terrible job at it. It seems some Brits didn't get the memo and thought wiggers were cool and not depressing and lame.

Hells yes. That's the place in Inman Sq., right? I can just walk from my apartment, which saves me from getting DUIs or having to stuff the bodies of pedestrians into my trunk and make the trip across the river to dump the corpses in Dorchester. PM me if you need my phone #.

Sorry! Did someone just claim that the weak-as-piss guff that the Americans label as 'beer' is a) beer and b) delicious?
I know you're just trolling, but it's on now, bitch!There's plenty of great beer made in America. You just have to brush away the film of Bud, Miller, Natty, PBR, etc. Allagash and Sam Adams are East Coast. Then you have Yuengling from PA, and right here in Cincy, we have Christian Moerlein. I could go on, but then I would have to leave work for an after-st-patty's-day binge.

Look I know you've been dying to fondle morbs in a vat of beer and mollasses but I'm afraid your just not his type (read: burly leatherdaddy). However you are welcome to come start a beer card if you can scrap up enough money selling your self to blind midget clowns and make your way to boston.

(Yes, this does include Tom Petty and co., before anyone asks!) What you're talking about is what we in the UK would call 'road gangs.'

Patently you've never visited the Netherlands nor Belgium. Two of the most civilised countries I know (after Scotland!), and definitely better food in both of them than in France.
@morbiuswilters said:And Canada is just USA North.
Oh. I always thought of the USA as Canada South. But with even more guns, and even more WASP bigots.

That's Wales you're thinking of. Up here in Scotland, we all drink Irn-Bru (with or without malt whisky), then go to the chip shop (that's 'fries' to you Colonials) and eat deep-fried battered Mars or Snickers bars* (or doner kebabs) with large portions of chips (or 'fries') before finding someone to have a fight with. :)

I like your sense of colour and elegant calligraphy. Perhaps this is a good time to discuss your newsletter.
Your should turn on Cleartype, though. Then again, the FFX window icon shows antialias artifacts, so I hypothesise that you access Firefox through some alternative screen method, such as RDP with lowered screen bits.

That also explains the alpha (not antialias, sorry) artifacts of FFX's icon, unless I'm mistaken about 2K's abilities, for I've not operated with that system.

You people unleashed Foster's on the world.
The vodka probably doesn't help.
You don't have vodka with Foster's, you have Strongbow cider, with some blackcurrent cordial. In a Pint glass. I'm talking a real pint (570mL) not the wussy US 473mL "pint".
That said, I've only had Foster's twice in my life: once straight and once in the above "Snakebite" cocktail, both on a dare. No-one drinks it here. I don't even recall seeing Fosters on tap anywhere, and many bottle-Os don't even sell it. However, the "Foster's group" makes Carlton Dry Fusion which I don't mind, though they might have copied the idea of adding lime and salt from Miller Chill or Mexican beers.

I love spicy foods, especially Thai and Indian. Of course, being a heavy smoker might be part of that as my tastebuds are constantly dead.
You should come to Brisbane (pronounced "briz-bin") and try the hottest burger in the world! I like hot food but it was too hot for me to finish. There was an Indian in our group (they made a special vegetarian version for him) and one bite was enough for him. However, my housemate at the time managed to finish it and got his name on a plaque.

Lime and salt is just.. fuck. Lime by itself is good, although it needs to be fresh lime added right when serving, not fucking lime-flavored syrup added during bottling. The worst is that goddamn "chelada" shit. AB sells this shit concoction of Bud Light and Clamato in a can. It's Mexican, but the Canadians also use Clamato in Bloody Marys. Sometimes I think all the retards in North America ended up north or south of America. Seriously, Clamato shouldn't even fucking exist.

Well, if there's a vegetarian version, I'd try it. Although, I prefer everything I eat to be moderately spicy; I'm not into the whole "eat something really fucking hot just to prove how much a man you are". And with really spicy foods, you end up with flaming squirts later on, which is just no fun for anyone. In spite of my love for spicy foods, I can't eat really hot stuff very often because I have bad, chronic acid reflux. I'm on meds and the foods I eat don't actually make that big of a difference, but I don't like to test it.

You fail reading comprehension, spectacularly. First, most such comments were made by non-Americans. Second, most of the comments referred to specific beer brands or from specific countries. I don't recall anyone saying that all beer was horse piss, across-the-board.
