Oh, and regarding serving temperature, I think it depends on the beer style. Stouts, porters, and other darker beers I usually like served somewhere around 55-60 degrees. Not ice gold but just below room temp, it warms up in your hand and the flavors change as you drink it. For IPAs and the like, usually another 5-10 degrees cooler. For Pilsners, get

I drink American stouts all the time. I'm not picky as to where it comes from, I just like my stouts to be good. I'm not entirely up on craft beer. Is it basically just a small business brewery?

The "American beer is weak" also is supported by the fact that Bud/Coors/Miller Light DO taste like weak corn water compared to some of the mainstream European imports.

If so, here's a good deal of information regarding that book and the quality of the research in it. Specifically, check out some of the links on the right column: http://spiritleveldelusion

The other 50% will probably discontinue going there"?? Are you serious? Do people *really* have that much dedication to this issue? What? Marriage equality? You better believe it, it's one of the most important fights for civil liberty in our time, and one where we might be able to actually have some significant victories in the near future

For a bunch of "shitty homophobes" they certainly have no problem with their stores employing gays and lesbians, at least in my corner of the world. Well, at least in the US, and I assume most if not all of developed Europe, they're legally required to do so. So no real reason to give them points there. I've become a big proponent
