    Mm, on that note. I have another question.

    How do you know or find out what temperature is best for drinking a particular beer? Is there an industry code on the bottles or do you have to just go by experience/shared knowledge?

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    That was a bloody good read actually. I always thought there was something slightly off when ordering a stout that was very cold. Especially chocolate stouts, the very name to me contradicts the temperature at which it's normally served...

    Correct. But quantity can become an issue - refer to MOTU's post above...

    The issue here is the appendix organ. This organ is designed to retain diced carrots and (to a lesser extent) corn. My research has proven that the retention organ will release its contents once the quantity of (in this case) beer has become sufficient to trigger its "release" mechanism.

    Best of luck with tonights celebrations!

    It's 10%.
    Full, heady, strong stuff, yet mellow and mild too. It's almost like a wine, but still beer. Made by monks in the Netherlands.
    It's at your local supermarket and really is worth a try.
    Amen to that! a very thick, full bodied beer with a strong flavour- you can feel the heat of it going down the back of your throat like a wine

    Believe it or not, chances are, it's not carrot, but small parts of your stomach lining.

    The beers that I like at the moment in no particular order are:

    Macs Brewjolais (when you can get it)
    Leffe Brune
    Invercargill Wasp
    Black Mac

    And I'm dieing to try a Moa, might order a case in for my birthday. Has anyone had it? I'd be interested in a review.

    Tuatara FTW! The Pilsner is magnificent, and so too is their India Pale Ale. Sup the latter and you'll never be tempted to partake of Mr Tui's flaccid urine ever again. I promise you.

    Beer threads rock!

    Haha, I've beaten that temptation for quite some time now...

    The Tuatara tent looks to be quite the popular one. I'll have to get in early methinks.

    Surely no biker male would be seen live (or dead) holding a beer called "Sassy Red"...

    May the bridges I burn light the way.

    Why not, are you so insecure in your sexuality that you question it over a beer?

    I picked up some 'teiths Black last night and let it warm up for a bit out of the fridge before drinking...and it was magnificent! I remember when I first tried a stout it was of a similar temperature and I always felt disappointed afterwards when buying it in bottles and drinking it freezing cold.

    The difference in taste is very distinctive, I think. That or it could be all in my head...either way, I'm doing it again.
