No "yellow" beer for me, thank you.

Porters and Stouts are both tasty and 'filling'...the epitome of "bread in a glass". My all-time favorite commercially available, is one that I cannot find since the pandemic...Australia's Sheaf Stout.
However Ninkasi's "Oatis", an oatmeal Stout, is a close second, along with Caldera (a microbrewery just down the road in Ashland Oregon) "Pilot Rock Porter" (now available in cans so we can avoid taking glass on the boat, but still drink GOOD beer while out fishing).
There are MANY others that I consider excellent brews, particularly the "seasonal ales" like Deschutes' "Jubelale". My latest good find is a black ale called "Irish Death".

By far the best beer I have ever tasted is a limited release Stout, tap-only, (only available at the Caldera Tap House Restaurant in Ashland) by Caldera called "Mogli". Named after the brewery owner's ex-girlfriend's black Lab (RIP, you fine dog !), it is as black as its namesake and as strong (11.5%?), as well. It's $8/pint and the bartender will only pour you two...no more !

My history with beer, first drinking it as a youth out bucking hay with my older cousins, as a college student semi-regularly over-embibing (!), pouring it as a bartender....in college and again as a 30+yr old, running the bar at our local ski slope for a couple of seasons....and now, a retiree who almost always has 3-6 various beers in the fridge out in the shop and at least one in the kitchen fridge....I can truly say that the one and only thing I have in common with a certain Supreme Court Judge is.....I LIKE BEER !

When I still drank beer it was Shiners Bock. Didn't drink much at all, but the Bock was really good. Went to a Family reunion and took an extra case for my brother. I was living in San Antonio, Texas and he was in Tempe, Arizona. On the way to the hotel in Colorado he got some really bad gas and broke down. He called the Hotel and I talked with him. Drove down there and picked up him and his wife. On the drive back I told him,"In the cooler for you". He opened the cooler and took out a Shiner Bock. opened it and took a sip. Then he took a long pull. "Is it ok?"
"Yeah, it's just a nice little Bock from a small Brewery. I remember the last time I had one, Colorado Springs. 1953!"
That was in 1992. After that every time I would drive to go out in the mountains with him I would bring 2 cases for him. The Brewery is outside Austin, Texas. Until they doubled the brewery, they could only make enough for up and down the I-35 Corridor. Corpus Christi to Dallas. After the first shock to the mouth, it went down like Pepsi.
Mustard Yellow 6 pack. I totally stopped drinking in 2000, before that very little.

Mine too, but White Birch is a close second.


Hi Fred. The Amish store north of town sells that Birch & ginger beer. Pretty good stuff. If I drink a real beer I just can't drink enough water afterwards. Totally dries out my tongue. When I buy beer for making biscuits & pancakes I buy Budweiser. To my taste buds it jmparts the best flavor. Never used it for fish batter. i want my fish to taste like fish. Take care Fred

I've heard of Ginger beer, but never tried it Coon. I'll have to keep my eye out for it in Pennsylvania when I visit in June. My late Uncle was from Wyoming, and whenever he did Beer battered fish, it had to be Coors. Since I quit drinking, I just do a regular egg wash and Italian breadcrumb coating. Good to hear from you brother, looking forward to some pictures of your catches this year.

I just drink one beer a week, if that much. I haven’t gone to any local breweries, we have had a lot of them opened up here in Clovis

Chuck, for some odd reason that is just one tune I can not get out of my head. Excellent driving music right up there with Born to be Wild and a few others.

1st time hearing for me Fred, it is a good one. I wouldn't have even guessed it was ZZ Top. Much younger voice from what I remember.

About beer: I used to travel a lot before I retired, and the company's travel policy said that they wouldn't reimburse us for alcoholic beverages. (Tight-a$$ed company wouldn't do per diem, I had to submit a receipt for anything reimbursable.)

After a summertime job at a hot and humid location in Southern Mexico, I turned in an expense report with several beers on it. Got called into the boss's office to explain. I told him that it wasn't wise to drink the water there, and I just couldn't choke down another coke. He approved it.

SO - the best beer is the one someone else pays for!

That was a remix of the original 1973 recording. That's the first time I saw them, on the Tres Hombres tour. That was before the beards were long.

As far as the voices goes, half the singing is the late Dusty Hill's voice.
