    Most of you probably know this already but drinking beer from a glass makes a big difference. (But I doubt it helps the likes of Coors Light.)

    I had a Spaten Optimator from the bottle the a couple of weeks ago and it was good. The next night I had another but from a Weizen Glass that I got as a gift and it was like a different beer.

    I couldn't agree more!!! I constantly tell people that when sampling a new beer to try it from a glass. Many times they will take a sip from a bottle and then turn their nose up at it. I will bring my own glass with me to a party if I think there won't be any <------ Beer Geek

    This should double as a tip for college kids. Anyone who has ever been to a college party knows the "house cup" rule, that being people who have so called "house cups" get cutsies for the keg. Often times you can bring your own glass/mug/whatever and claim that its a house cup and be first in line for refills. Just dont do it in front of the people throwing the party.

    I can only assume you had a special locked case with pearl inlays that when you flipped up the latch made a [click] [tshhhh] noise to reveal your Chimay chalice?

    Can I come and visit you for the summer? I would love to visit New Glarus and get some spotted cow. Heck then we can visit Michigan and hit up Belles Brewery.

    Sigh, can I come and visit please?

    On a side not I really want to go to the NHC in 2010.
    Since school is taking my time and the GABF is in the middle of Fall semester. I can spare a summer session to get some great beer.

    I drink mostly Jelen beer here because it is cheap and good.
    [media]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/JelenPivoBottle.JPG[/media]
    I think only here they sell beer in 2 liter bottles
    Other than that my favourite beers are:

    Plzen beer (Pilsner Urquell)-Czech republic
    Heineken-Netherlands
    Kaiser-Austria

    Cheers!

    You would have to put up with my Fiance, her best friend, and our two cats. We all live together in relative harmony. But the cats stink up the place at least three times a day.

    Get a covered litterbox. Mine is a "rollover" that, to clean, requires just a simple roll-over and emptying of a drawer. (It has an integrated litter filter that recovers unused litter in an internal compartment when you roll it over. See the photos on Amazon for details.) You can also get covered litter boxes with charcoal filters to keep the stink in. Order from Amazon.com
