Beer is proof that God loves us.

And Kevin, please don't paint all us Yanks with that broad of a brush.
The New Glarus Brewing Company for example chooses quality over
quantity, evidenced by them turning down offers for market expansion in
favor of quality control. Also, Brewmaster Dan Carey did his
apprenticeship in the EU, if that kind of thing matters to you.

Don't take it personal, yes, sometimes man bites dog.
You wont argue
my point that the American "palette" doesn't care about
beer quality.
"British Method"? Never heard of that. Does that mean
top-fermentation?
If so, I don't think the English have dibs on the first
beer
fermentation
method. Use whole grain or malt-extract?
And regarding N.E. microbrew, you wouldn't lump
Catamount in that
would you? barf.
Portland, OR has, um, some microbrew. I prefer a real
Pilsner, and
to date, nearly every micro Pils that I have seen is, at
best,
"side fermented". That is, they put Pils on a bottom
fermeted,
non-lagered beer that happens to have some Saaz,
Halertauer or
Tatnanger hops in there...
Purist, out.
