VA is a nice insurance policy. I know for sure that if I'm reading it on an airplane, there's no way I'm hooking up with a girl on that flight.
I beg to differ as even the large producer Stiegl makes an excellent beer with it's Goldbräu.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
I lived in a state that banned any beer with more than 3.2% alcohol....
If it were up to me, beverages with under 333cal/litre would be precluded from being called beer.

Much worse. Utah. Six longest years of my life.
Hi Geek,
There are other good breweries around in Canada too. You just don't want the mass produced stuff.
Sy,

I don't know about that. Have you tried Waterloo Dark? It's not bad, and it's Canadian.That knocks any Canuck beer out of the running

On the topic of this thread: I am quite new to this hobby, having only been in DIY for about 2 1/2 years tops, and half that for tubes. I find myself, as I am reading through the chapters, saying, "so that is why that is...." or "so that is what they are talking about...." quite regularly. Its easily the best audio DIY/electronics book of any sorts I have bought.
RE Austrian Beers: Edelweiss is from Austria no? That is good beer, especially their dunkelweiss. Erdinger dark is one of my all time favorite beers, which I believe is also made is Austria. I think my trip to Salzburg was some of the best beer drinking I ever had.

Chris,
Waterloo dark is 5.5% That knocks it out.
There are a number of cottage brewers in Canada making very high quality products. Spring Brewery in BC's Okanagan is up there with the best.
Sleeman's in Ontario has some OK stuff too. They happen to own Spring Brewery but thankfully changed nothing when they bought them.
Oops, I guess we're a wee off topic.

Hi Cal,
My label (in front of me) says 5% even. So I'm calling you a liar for 1/2 % . (not really) Is it still in, or are we going to call it a malt liquor even though the label calls it beer?
Either way, it's not bad, nor are some of the beers out your end of town (thank goodness!).
Besides, a good beer is always worth discussing!

Hi Chris,
I meant that if they aren't allowed more than 3.2%, the lowest % I've seen a Canadian beer is 4.
Yeah, there are some Canuck beers I love. Black Widow microbrew is great. Though some give me a shooting headache (like Rickard's Red).

Chris,
What Geek said in the last post. So unless Spring is still making the 3% light then I can't think of any either.
Hi Geek, Cal,
In my mind, anything that is less than 4% isn't beer. I think we went all the way up to 6.5 % didn't we?
Geek, Rickard's Red gives you a headache? Another good beer. I'm sorry to hear that. How about Waterloo Dark?
Hey poobah,
I prefer Vodka concoctions anyhow. Or Drambui. I must admit that on a hot summer's day, a beer is hard to beat.

Hey poobah,
You know you can't read (study) or work whilst drinking beer or bitters don't you? Spilling beer on Morgan's books is taboo. Coffee is okay.OK...eh... buy Morgan Jones books and drink beer and don't go to Utah.

I'm right there with ya' SY.
I hit a deer in Zion National Park while travelling with two of Tracey's friends visiting from Australia. Utah is not a happy place to be stranded for a week with beer loving Australians.
I love the desert country though. One of my favourite scenic areas in the world.
Hiya Chris,
Yeah, too bad since it was my second favorite next to Guiness
I'll check for Waterloo Dark next time I'm in a larger city. Thanks!

Hi SY,
Where have I heard that before? Hmmmm, let me see ..... Wine! That's it, it was red wine!
Geek, try it. That seemed to help my wife with her issues with some red wines. Only problem is that antihistamines knock her out too. Mix it with wine and good night Anita!

anatech said:Hi Geek,
You've named a number of good dark beer brands. English Bitters do the same thing to you?
You may be allergic to something common to this type of beer. SY may have some insight on that.
-Chris
The only overseas beer that does this to me is Heineken.

Will do!
