What does pee and American beer have in common?
They both taste the same going in and coming out.

My favorite aunt always claimed that tea and beer ran through you faster than any other substances because they didn't have to change color along the way....

99% of American beer tastes like soap to me.

I haven't tasted soap since momma caught me cussing worse than her. Set her off when I started to chew that bar of Dial.

I can only drink north american beer if I'm really, really hot and thirsty... even then, just two and I feel like I have 10 pounds of lead in my stomach.
Guiness, that black swill from Ireland, has no carbonation; they use nitrogen instead, and voila, no bloated tummy! It's undrinkable unless ice-cold, however...

It's common here in Canada to make fun of U.S.A. beer as being weak, and to some extent our commonly-available beer does have a bit more taste, but the fact is, its the same alcohol content as its southern counterpart; 5% on average.
Except in Quebec, where you can buy such beers as "Maudite", which is 9%

Personally, I like Maudite, but my real preference is for La Fin du Monde. Of all the beers produced by Unibroue, that has to be my absolute favorite. (Although I do like everything they produce, at least everything I have tried so far, up to and including Terrible.) Ask anyone who knows me, and chances are they will tell you that I have sung the praises of Unibroue upon more than one occasion.
While beer in the US may be 5%, strangely it doesn't seem to have the same kick for some reason. I can personally attest that the one American beer I have tried (umm.... the name escapes me at present. Whatever it was that I had at the last MOM and is Talula's personal choice) really seemed closer to water than beer for me. I strive to be a cheap drunk, and yet half a two-four of that stuff was nowhere near as effective as a 6-pack of Molson.

The things I miss most about the U.K. ------BEER! And real PUBS!
Got hold of some Speckled Hen recently at a local shop. My friends spit it out and would not drink it. One made me chill it COLD and he still would not drink it

Of course it's not the best beer from the U.K. but it's better than the yellow coloured water they call beer here!
Cheers!
