I am currently making sourdough Ithaca Caskazilla beer bread and Oskar Blues Mamma's Little Yella Pils seitan beer brats. Beer is not just for drinking.

the majority of the time I opt for cheap shitty beers due to funding reasons, of which the best around these parts is Pabst Blue Ribbon (in BC it's 5.9 percent, when we went on tour I was upset to find it's only a measly 5 everywhere else in the country). there's a local brewery in Victoria called Phillips that slays pretty hard, my staple choice is the Surly Blonde which is 9% and really tasty but they've also got a great chocolate porter, the Blue Buck which is sort of the standard issue one and is pretty nice, they're also always coming out with limited edition seasonal ones... around halloween they had a pumpkin ale that tasted exactly like pumpkin pie, for instance. Vancouver Island brewery comes out with a limited edition beer called the Hermannator every winter, it's 9.5% and really dark but unbelievably delicious (can you tell I'm a big fan of high percentage beers?), i used to opt for Unibroue from Quebec a lot but am kind of over it nowadays. not looking forward to going to the states and dealing with sub-5% beer every night...

american macro beer is terrible(bud, pabst, old milwaukee, etc) but in my opinion american craft beer is a mighty force to be reckoned with. with beers ranging from 4% to 25% i don't know how you could pigeon hole american beer in such a way to say it's weak and something not to look forward to. steal good beer if you have to, most stores have little to no cameras in those sections from what i've gathered.

I'm a big fan of any Hefeweissen/Hefeweizen really. I often find myself buying Shiner, especially the variety packs, as it's some pretty quality beer for a decent price (sometimes the carryout next to us will hook us up with a six pack for six bucks too!). One of our grocery stores started stepping up and stocking some pretty great beer, they have a belgian-style wheat ale I'm out to try today since it's payday and it's a .75 liter of 11.5%, a little pricey at 7 bucks a bottle but I'm a lightweight and it sounds both tasty and seems like it might get me sauced.

Thank you! I was about to post the same thing. American craft beer rules so hard. Fuck all that mass produced shit.

Not to speak for Nick here, but I'm pretty sure all he meant was his experience in American beer is limited to cheap-ass beer they were given on tour, during which they were broke. So they drank a lot of weak, crappy beer. Like PBR, Milw Best, , etc. Maybe even 'lite' beers. [shudder] I was going to ask if the OM and PBR use more malt in Canada? Cuz normal beers, pre-WW2, were much maltier here.

Do you realize what is happening in your body every time you drink this stuff? It breaks down to ethyl alcohol (ethanol), which is a destroyer of body tissue, the first areas of attack are the pancreas(which you need in order to live), and your liver(another vital organ for living), not to mention the amount of braincells you're destroying with every drink. Not only that but long term drinking can cause the following: athritis, cancer, heart disease, hyperglycermia, kidney disease, liver disease, malnutrition, neuropathy, dementia, depression, anxiety, amongst a lot of other stuff. So drink up my friend and let us idiots like COCKPUNCH and I live.

So drink up my friend and let us idiots like COCKPUNCH and I live. Please please respond to this in two sections: I have ankylosing spondylitis, a painful autoimmune condition similar to arthritis, but with no real treatment. I have a mostly raw vegan diet that excludes starch (which doesn't leave a lot to eat). My spine is slowly fusing and I deal with a large amount of pain. I have tried several corporate pharmaceuticals to manage pain, but I keep being overcome by the side effects (constipation, mental fog, dizziness, exhaustion, anal bleeding, stomach ulcers). For me, I choose alcohol and marijuana to manage my pain with much more predictable side-effects (read: intended side effects) than any pharmaceutical I have ever tried. I brew my own beer and cider, or only drink non-pasturized "live" beer that is microbrewed and generally as local as possible (I eat as local as possible with my veggies too). So what do you think about me using alcohol (and to a much lesser degree, marijuana) to deal with chronic pain? I'm not supporting large corporations, I drink every single day but not to a stupor. Keep in mind that I try to take every single person as an individual, not a stereotype. I have friends that being sxe saved or continues to save their lives, but I can honestly say that drinking to manage pain has spared me from a worse off existence than popping pills (beer saved my life). And the second point being: www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2014332,00.html Why Do Heavy Drinkers Outlive Nondrinkers? By John Cloud Monday, Aug. 30, 2010 One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink tend to die sooner than those who do. The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is that many of those who show up as abstainers in such research are actually former hard-core drunks who had already incurred health problems associated with drinking. But a new paper in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research suggests that — for reasons that aren't entirely clear — abstaining from alcohol does tend to increase one's risk of dying, even when you exclude former problem drinkers. The most shocking part? Abstainers' mortality rates are higher than those of heavy drinkers. (See pictures of booze under a microscope.) Moderate drinking, which is defined as one to three drinks per day, is associated with the lowest mortality rates in alcohol studies. Moderate alcohol use (especially when the beverage of choice is red wine) is thought to improve heart health, circulation and sociability, which can be important because people who are isolated don't have as many family members and friends who can notice and help treat health problems. But why would abstaining from alcohol lead to a shorter life? It's true that those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lower socioeconomic classes, since drinking can be expensive. And people of lower socioeconomic status have more life stressors — job and child-care worries that might not only keep them from the bottle but also cause stress-related illnesses over long periods. (They also don't get the stress-reducing benefits of a drink or two after work.) But even after controlling for nearly all imaginable variables — socioeconomic status, level of physical activity, number of close friends, quality of social support and so on — the researchers (a six-member team led by psychologist Charles Holahan of the University of Texas at Austin) found that over a 20-year period, mortality rates were highest for those who were not current drinkers, regardless of whether they used to be alcoholics, second highest for heavy drinkers and lowest for moderate drinkers. The sample of those who were studied included individuals between ages 55 and 65 who had had any kind of outpatient care in the previous three years. The 1,824 participants were followed for 20 years. One drawback of the sample: a disproportionate number, 63%, were men. Just over 69% of the abstainers died during the 20 years, 60% of the heavy drinkers died and only 41% of moderate drinkers died. These are remarkable statistics. Even though heavy drinking is associated with higher risk for cirrhosis and several types of cancer (particularly cancers in the mouth and esophagus), heavy drinkers are less likely to die than people who don't drink, even if they never had a problem with alcohol. One important reason is that alcohol lubricates so many social interactions, and social interactions are vital for maintaining mental and physical health. As I pointed out last year, nondrinkers show greater signs of depression than those who allow themselves to join the party. The authors of the new paper are careful to note that even if drinking is associated with longer life, it can be dangerous: it can impair your memory severely and it can lead to nonlethal falls and other mishaps (like, say, cheating on your spouse in a drunken haze) that can screw up your life. There's also the dependency issue: if you become addicted to alcohol, you may spend a long time trying to get off the bottle. That said, the new study provides the strongest evidence yet that moderate drinking is not only fun but good for you. So make mine a double.

If you're going to spend your life paranoid, you might as well fucking kill yourself. You're an angry young man...

So I guess we're all going to die from something, so have a ball. The TIME article cites clinical data, and experimental research. I don't know what "the word experimental" has to do with it. Conclusions like this are not reached or published scientifically without being seriously vetted. Its not "the word experimental" as it relates to a high school chemistry set, or stupid indie kids playing synth prog. Also, I fail to see how beer is any less natural than marijuana? Humans have been making it for almost 8,000 years with almost zero scientific insight as to how it ferments. Its easier to make beer from raw grain than just about anything else.
