Any serious beer drinkers in forum?

Aspirin is actually technically a poison which like many other toxic and harmful prescription drugs is effective in a medicinal sense for certain conditions. But that does not make it a true medicine by definition because medicine ultimately is good for you and not bad.

Let us bring forth the word therapeutic. LSD can be very, very therapeutic but by definition I don't believe it could be described as being medicinal. It can be both extremely beneficial and extremely harmful depending on the individual and circumstances. Not directly physically I don't mean but certainly indirectly potentially.

Alcohol has long been claimed to have some positive benefits for health and I certainly would have subscribed before to the notion that there is at least some medicinal action taking place with a good quality red wine for instance which has lots of antioxidants and maybe some other beneficial healing compounds so I believe we could make a genuine medicinal claim.

I'm just making the point that just because something can genuinely benefit you or appear to benefits you that does not mean it is medicinal by definition.

Some of my summer libations. The last has been the most pleasant surprise. Sammy almost always pulls through; like that one too.

Should you find yoursenlf in South Texas, I highly recommend any product made by Real Ale Brewery in Blanco, Texas. Their IPA is outstanding, but for a daily brew I have really fallen in love with Fireman's 4, named for the fire station across the street from the brewery. It is a blonde ale, but don't be fooled. Its flavor is complex and sturdy. You will not be disappointed.

That was my dad's beer of choice. He actually printed their labels until he moved his business to Dallas in 1966. Now, at 93, he's converted to Fireman's Four. Lone Star is not the same beer it used to be. Even the original version was full of rice and corn. But since we knew no better then, it tasted fine. I think it's now brewed by Pabst, and it's still a big seller here. But the biggest seller: Bud Lite. :doh:

Another one I like from South Texas is the Pecan Porter from (512) Brewing Company in Austin.

Oh, yeah. That a serious brew! Austin has several good brands and several meh brands that they put in the restaurants. Houston is in the game, too. But when I found one of their beers in the convenience store, I had to wonder if it was any good. It was an IPA, and it was just so-so. And in a can!

I love beer. I want to drink beer until the day I die (which I hope is a long time away).

I had a couple Double Pecan Porters from 512 Brewing Company last night that were lovely.
It's a whisky barrel aged porter, and I highly recommend it.
(I tend to like barrel-aged porters and other barrel-aged stouts)

Treated myself to a Liquid State's Liquid Crush NE IPA and it is very delicious. It's brewed where I live, so I have easy access to it. I tried an early version before they started canning and it wasn't so good. This time around, they got it right. Bought the can at a local beer store. Cloudy and orange and tropical and bitter. Very refreshing and a decent avb of just over 7%, but so easy to drink.

Ok, couple vap caps and a tasty beer after work with some comedy, and now I'm ready to cook some monkey flippin' dinner. Stiry FRY mother fathers!
