From the beer newsgroup (rec.food.drink.beer), their FAQ, and various odd books I've borrowed/bought from libraries and stores and things. Just generally reading around. If only I could remember things that weren't about beer or wrestling, like tonight when I stood at the ATM machine for a good 2 minutes trying to remember my 4-digit code :) - Matt

Rite-Aid mother fuckers. Rite-Aid. No i'm not joking. Yes Ledena, you can go check. Rite-Aid is on the corner of 29th and willamette in the plaza thing there. Don't use a fake ID though, they have a scanner. Whats even cooler is that the mouse aren't playing in portland (right?). For once those fucks will have to come down here. I'll be out front with a 3.50 six pack of hornsby's and my ass kicking shoes. If anybody on this list can, get your hands on a copy of the oregon commentator. They have coverage of the latest series of hippie/anarchist protests here in scenic eugene. They have one picture in particular that is of unquestionable humor value. It's a dirty hippie protester backed by "DOWN WITH NIKE", and "PHIL KNIGHT SUCKS" signs, wearing a pair of air cross trainers.

Attention: For those who don't care about beer, don't read this, seriously. This is so off-topic it's nearly criminal, but I really like beer, you know?

This has prompted me to do a brief tutorial that nobody asked for, but in retrospect, I wish somebody had helped me out all those years when I was walking around with a 40oz of Budweiser thinking I tore it up, so whatever. Ale does generally taste better, agreed, but it's still beer. I recently learned that. Here's the jiggy; Beer is an all-encompassing term for ales and lagers. Generally, it means an alcoholic beverage brewed using hops, yeast, and grains (wheat, barley, rice, corn, etc). Some of the specialty beers use fruit and spices and stuff, but usually they taste like crap. Beer and ale *used* to mean different things, though, which is where I got confused. The difference used to be that beer used hops while ale didn't. Now, pretty much every beer uses hops, so "beer" became a blanket word for it all. The difference between ale and lager is that ale is brewed with top-fermenting yeasts at warm temperatures while lager is brewed with bottom-fermenting yeasts at cold temperatures (the latter process is actually called "lagering," which is where the term "lager" came from). Most beers are ales when we're talking about the whole world. All of the stouts, porters, barley wines, bitters, trappists, and lambics are ales (yes, Guinness is an ale -- I was surprised, too, heh). Lager is a more recent process of brewing beer. It includes bocks, Octoberfests, and pilsners. The first lager ever was from the Czech Republic in the city of Pilsen (which is where the term "pilsner" came from). Coincidentally, it's called Pilsner Urquelle and is still exported today. It's one of the few lagers I really, really love. Almost all of the mainstream beers that come from the US, Canada, and Australia are lagers -- Budweiser, Coors, Miller, Molson, Labatt, Moosehead, Fosters, Yuengling.. the list goes on an on. To quote the rec.food.drink.beer FAQ; "Most popular beers produced by the large North American breweries were originally of the pilsner style. These have diverged a great deal from the original style and succeed now by the force of the mass-marketing prowess of the brewers rather than any remarkable qualities of the beers themselves." So another genuinely friendly suggestion to those that love their American beer -- if you ever have a few extra bucks, pick up a six-pack of Pilsner Urquelle. It's the great-great-grandfather of all clear beers, and you can tell because it rules. One last thing; just because a beer is advertised as an "ale" doesn't always mean that it is. A friend of mine visited the Yuengling Brewery here in Pennsylvania and, when given a tour of the place, noticed that their Lord Chesterfield Ale was lagering in the vats. Lord Chesterfield Ale = lager. Go figure. - Matt

Yeah, where the hell are you buying that at? And aren't you excited (Ben) that the mouse is coming here instead of just skipping up to Portland? Maybe it's just me, but I'd much rather see them play at the wow hall than at the crystal ballroom. Some of the hippies (and possibly a few anarchists) will probably come to the show.
