      We can buy the Samuel Adams in Sweden, I buy it now and then,
      it´s ok but I rather get the stuff from G, DL and OK land where 
they
      also make some excelent beer.
      Talking about Samuel, if you want to get good beer get the Samuel
      Smith from England.

      PS: Molson I can drink but the rest of the North American chemical
      piss water I can do without, I used to dring Coors back in the 
seventies
      but I think I can do without it these days.

     PS again: Beats me what this had to do with tuned input!!, Now if 
I only
     could get a new bandswitch waffer for my old SB-220 I sure would be
     in business again.

The best U.S. beers come from microbreweries who don't add any chems, 
but
they don't export and the beer "expires" pretty quickly.  It's best to 
grab
it out of the fermentation tank and tap right into that, preferably by
installing one's mouth directly beneath the spigot.

The only "real American beer" that is produced in volume, in my 
opinion, is
made by Samuel Adams (Boston Brewing) and I don't think they export 
that,
either.  In fact, many of the Samuel Adams brews are not sold at all in
several States, you have to be close to one of the refineries.  Lucky 
for
me, I am.

Pass me another brew, will ya, mate?
