OMG ID, you should be selling Sam Adams. Which I will agree is a good beer. I am more partial for an American beer it would Goose Island (last Chicago local brewery) or Flying Dog (from Denver). Back on topic: We were palnning on going until the other half came down with the stomach flu this morning. Have a great time tonight. Wish we could be there.

By the way, if anyone wants to bring a blank videotape, you can use the vcr to record the final episode. First one who responds, first served!

We are open to hosting another Korean history party. Just make sure you post when you want to have one a few weeks ahead of time. The only problem would be a scheduling conflict in using the building. So the sooner we know, the better.
Thanks to those who came - it was a blast. I think we even got a couple of newbies out of it.

Old post, but I need to share this, in case you guys haven't known of this. I've just discovered "Beverages and More" {http://www.bevmo.com} I'm telling you, it is unbelieveable. I've never seen such a large selection of Beer imports. I'm thinking of ordering a rare Kenyan Import, "Tusker". You guys need to see this. And get this, Over 150 Vodkas, Over 100 Rums, over 200 Brandies, over 150 Tequilas, nearly 250 Whiskies, nearly 900 Beers from around the world, and nearly 3,000 Wines! And they even rate the beverage for you! How is that for a sales person?

And they even rate the beverage for you! How is that for a sales person?Yeah BevMo is a good thing. It brings a great variety of fine beers, wines, and spirit to areas that otherwise wouldn't have access to them and provides a ready source in areas that already have that access (such as the SF area). Even in a market such as SF where numerous "specialty stores" have huge selections of different brews, BevMo still holds its own. By the way ID, if you're into exotic beers and you'd like to try some truly extreme ones (take it from a veteran brewer), try out some of the more epic Belgian brews, or some of the US West Coast double IPAs or barleywine style ales if they're available. Some of the latter that you might be able to find include Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot, Rogue's Old Crustacean, Hair of the Dog's Fred, and Stone's Double Bast_rd. Double IPAs are trickier, given that unlike barleywines (that age very well for years), they lose their extreme aromatic edge in a few months. However, I recall there is an East Coast DIPA done by Victory Brewing in the Philly(?) area--I think it's called the 90 minute IPA or something like that. For some Belgian to start off with you can try Scaldis (12%), Chimay Blue (9%), Duvel (8.5% goes down deceptively easy), among others (currently, my household is hooked on one called Cuvee Diabolique, a brew that is sold at Trader Joes at a very reasonable price). Closer by, out of Quebec is Unibroue (in my opinion one of N. America's three greatest breweries along with Sierra and Anchor) which produced the epic 11 (probably not available anymore) and Terrible (supposed to be a one year only thing but reissued on popular demand). Tusker, by the way is a German style lager brewed in Kenya and isn't really all that distinctive. Other than some of the latest generation micros in the US (which include some excellent ones), I think the best German-style pilsner brewed outside of Continental Europe is the readily available Singha which is a super charged Pils brewed in Thailand (and served at many Thai restaurants in this country).

Speaking of beer, I just got into Guiness. My firdge is filled with those awesome cans, with the "Nitro-Caps". No bottles. Those suck. But, what I really want, is to go into a decent pub, and order a nice, fresh pint of Guinness, the way it was meant to be drunk. I've also tried Beamish, which, for some reason, doesn't have much different qualities, besides being a little stronger. And what else goes better with beer talk, then gun talk! I'm going to apply for a New York State license. The shops in Middletown, don't provide anything out of the ordinary. So i found an "Ebay" type online shop, called Gunbroker.com I'm looking at a 1917 Luger gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=28293493And an average Smith And Wesson gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=27869871Well, truthfully, i'm kind've of dreaming. If I had $2000 to spend, then yes. But I don't. And I could probably find the latter in a decent gunshop. {which we don't have!}

I had no clue that Tusken was a Pilsner. I was just thrilled that it was Kenyan. There ar eplenty of good non-German pilsners. Theres "Urquell" out of the Czech Republic. "Bergenbier"out of Romania, though I never had it, I heard it was good. "Stella Artois" is one that you definatley heard of, as it is from Belgium {it suffer what Heinekan does: skunky green glass} There are many good ones in America, but the only ones I can think of that I drink, are "Sam Adams Golden Pilsner" and "Degroen's" from Baltimore. I'm only 22, and though i've been drinking for several years, i've only been able to recieve dirt cheap {and I mean CHEAP} beer {like Milwaukee's Best, AKA "Beast". But, you have to admit, $1.99 a six pack, is perfect for a kid} at parties. In the last year, i've been gulping down every new, interesting brew that I can find.I'm not drinking to get a buzz, i'm drinking for pleasure. And i'm too old to order soda at a restuarant, anyway.
