blah blah blah
I have enjoyed many a Pilsner Urquell, and have found another that rivals it and is a SASKATCHEWAN product!
Czech Mate pilsner from Paddock Wood Brewing in Saskatoon. Not as "dry, dusty" as the PU but dry, very creamy texture, beautiful dry hoppy finish.
For those who can get it and enjoy the pilsner style, an excellent example.

Spaten Optimator. Why? Because it is good for you! See all of the scientific proof below. (got this from the Spaten site)
Rich in Vitamins and Good for the Nerves
Beer is rich in important vitamins - most are delivered to you by the beer's yeast. Vitamins B1, B2, and B6 and H contained in beer are food for the nerves: They improve your ability to concentrate, support the production of red blood cells, have a positive effect on your blood circulation and stimulate your metabolism.
Minerals for the Metabolism
A scientific study undertaken at the Technical University of Munich concluded that the collection of minerals and trace elements in beer have a favorable effect on nerves and muscle strength, electrolyte usage, enzyme activation and hormone levels. In addition, iron and copper help blood production, phosphorus supports metabolism and magnesium strengthens the heart muscle. Zinc is necessary for your pancreas' production of insulin and fluoride protects your teeth from cavities. Finally, Maganese also helps in the production of beer's Vitamin B, which is very valuable to the human body.
Beer helps you relax
A hectic lifestyle, stress or problems with your job or family often lead to nervousness and sleeping problems-your blood pressure rises. A glass of beer before going to bed is the "best medicine" against all of that: The hops in beer (with all four important B vitamins) have a calming effect on exhausted nerves and relax your muscles. The small amount of alcohol (4.5 to 5.5%) and the carbonation relax your body. The commentary of the Munich study concludes: "The life expectancy of people who drink beer in moderation is longer than of people who abstain." Uhhh.. Optimator is almost 8% so I get extra credit.
The calorie count rises...
Beer is comparably a low-calorie drink. A twelve ounce glass of beer has about 160 calories; only mineral water, coffee and tea (without milk or sugar), skim and butter milk have fewer calories than beer. "Hard drinks", wine, champagne and liqueurs as well as fruit, lemonade and whole milk do not. Additionally, beer, because it has practically no sodium, promotes tissue drainage and sodium expulsion.
Beer gives you momentum
Beer is healthy-sport medicine specialists have also recognized that fact and have drawn uses from it. One example is the two Italian sport doctors Antonelli and Romano who came to the conclusion that a liter of beer a day increases performance, concentration and reaction and strengthens muscles. The American cardiologist Sheehan maintains that after long distance running, jogging, cross country skiing or marathons, beer ideally replaces bodily fluids and energy. The French doctor Gulpin discovered decades ago that beer increases lung capacity and speeds the lung's ability to process oxygen.
Beer in old Age
Doctors and geriatricians have recognized that beer - in addition to all of the previously mentioned health effects - works against the possible breakdown of the aging human body. Also noteworthy is beer's sociological aspects: Beer is cheerful, makes one sociable and makes it easier to make contact and win new friends. In an opinion poll of German general practitioners, 81% were convinced that one or two beers a day could "beautify" retirement.

Took the baby GS's on a short, but fun, ride from Cashmere up to the Cottonwood campground at the end of the Entiat River Road.
Dinner beers are a Wild Blue blueberry lager from Blue Dawg Brewing in Baldwinsville, NY and a Jubelale winter ale from Deschutes Brewery, in my favorite Oregon town of Bend, OR.
The ale is a bit bitter but not too bad, and the blueberry.....well.....its quite interesting. I'm thinking it would be a nice addition to a batch of blueberry pancakes. Its a bit sweet and the blueberry smell is way overpowering when you take a drink from the bottle.

Drink from a bottle??? All good beers need to be poured properly to release the true taste of the brew. A paper cup is better than a bottle, IMHO.

Good beer? Bud, Miller, Ol' Mil., Coors, etcetera. Oh, I guess you mean expensive beer! Me? I'll drink it out of anything. Can, bottle, paper cup....you get the idea.

If that were true they'd sell it in paper cups!
My mom started me on bottles at an early age... It's worked ever since!

Well, the first taste was from the bottle. After dinner, I poured one into a 'jacuzzi approved' (plastic) cup and headed for the spa, but still, it was just too overpowering.
Beer in a glass depends on how lazy I'm feeling, and how much I've already had to drink.

Chores are done!
I am done fixing and maintaining for the day.
Heard about this Guinness 250. A celebratory beer commemorating the brewery's 250th anniversary. I have not formulated an opinion yet. Whaty'all thank?
OK!
I have sampled the product. Repeatedly.
Here's the skinny:
More malt. More alcohol. Less bubbles (no floor show, pour it down side of your glass).
Easier to drink than standard Guinness Stout.
Did I mention more alcohol?
As ever your faithful correspondent.

people are too opinionated about beer, and often, their opinions are flat out wrong.
