Thanks Peter, you've answered a couple of questions for me if no one else. Maybe that post should be put in the FAQ section. How does pilsner fit in the line up?

Pilsner (also called Pilsener or Pils) is a pale lager that takes its name from the city of its birth, Pilsen, Bohemia (now Plzen, Czech Republic). Pilsner Urquell is the original. The style is somewhat hoppier than most lagers (traditionally using the Saaz variety). It pretty much touched off the lager revolution I mentioned before. Most of the major nation-wide breweries beer manufacturers in the US produce a beer that they call Pilsner; these bear no real relationship to the actual stuff.

So The Champagne of Bottled Beer isn't really a pilsner? Well then maybe pilsners don't suck after all.

Bass ale was mentioned, which leads to a nice bit of club trivia ... There was a time when the www.bass.com address would take you to ... the Alembic site! The domain name passed into the possession of the Bass brewery before the days of this here club.

I just returned from a vacation in the Belgian Ardennes (loved driving along those winding roads against the hills, surrounded by woods) and my favourite brews were Leffe Brune, Orval, and McChouffe. I used to like Hoegaarden's Le Fruit D?fendu, but now I find it's a bit overspiced.

Funny thing with Leffe Brune: it tasted a lot more sour than what I was expecting from the bitter sweet Brune bottles we can get in the Netherlands.

The Orval was deliciously fruity.

To Paul!

Anderson Valley Brewing Company, They make an amber ale called Boont Amber Ale which i think to be one of the best beers ever! I even had an out of body beer experience the first time i sipped it 10-21-95 in Lincoln Ne after one of the best Phish shows i ever saw. Making the trip to the brewery was akin to a pilgramage to Mecca for me, man what good beer!!!!
