Now your speaking my language! Ditto for me, Lenador. Guitarbuddha, rejoice in the decadence! Thrill to the indecency! The Washington, DC area has some very nice micro-brews, and some good Belgians on tap as well. Here's what I cannot understand: With all the good micro-brews and very good bottled beers available today, why do so many (in the U.S. at least) think it is so cool to order Corona? Does the lemon wedge give them a turn-on? To my mind, Corona tastes like piss. I have some favorite Mexican beers I like very much: Bohemia and Dos Equis, both brewed in Monterrey; and Pacifico, brewed in Mazatlan, to name three. I really like good Mexican beer, but drinking Corona is like drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon. Oh well, each to his own. I occasionally participate in U.S. military command post exercise simulations, providing foreign policy input into the mix. A few years ago we were conducting an exercise at Grafenwohr, Germany, about 30 Kms from Pilzen in the Czech Republic. One day we wrapped up the exercise early and drove to Pilzen, toured the Pilzen Urquell brewery, and "sampled" the product all afternoon and into the evening. The hosts at the brewery were most accommodating. (One poor devil in our group was tapped as the designated driver. We were a responsible lot!) Anyway, I can attest to the fact that freshly brewed Pilzner Urquell is very good indeed. Nevertheless, it is hard to beat a good Belgian. cheers, Bill
