Depends.
I understand there's a German beer the name of which translates to "Bread Beer".
Just saw an episode of Begin Japanology that showcased an Australian ex-pat who runs a brew pub in Kyoto (I think). Veddy interesting. Makes his own brews. Wouldn't mind trying some of them, but the travel costs are too dear.

I'm hearing that this beer by Industrial Arts Brewing
called Torque Wrench is the best brew I've ever drank.
I've heard that their Impact Wrench is even better.
EDIT: It's not better, but it is stronger.

maybe there is someone on this forum who hasn't already heard this - if so, then I've enlightened them
if not, then you are welcome to throw things at me
An old German saying often attributed to Ben
Franklin: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water
there is bacteria.
In a
number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if
we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have
absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found
in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of
poop.
However,
we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum,
whiskey or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a purification
process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember:
Water = Poop, Beer = Health
Therefore, it's better to drink beer and talk stupid, than to drink water
and be full of shit.
There is
no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public
service.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service. Amusing, but I very much doubt that modern municipal water treatments will leave much if any detectable live E. coli in a drink of water.
I searched my water company's website, and other websites, and apparently there is no detectable E. coli in our tap water. The source water *may* contain it, but that water is subjected to a filtration process, and then treated with a chlorine compound (chloramine) which will kill any bacteria or other pathogens that might get through.
In other words, I'm not worried. Plus most of my drinking water goes through a carbon filter in the fridge that removes many contaminants including chlorination byproducts and lead.

Franklin, my dear, I don't give a dram.

Odysseus is the one hijacking the thread with all his science, common sense and Water talk. And the chronological/historical/geographical inconsistency nit-picking - such pettiness This is like so beneath you guys. |

Wouldn't mind trying some of them, but the travel costs are too dear. As I recall, he's got one brew he makes with miso.
And another with a pinch of wasabi.
I think I recorded the show, I'll have to re-watch it. Might even be available online via U-tube.

Funny, but I thought we were talking about beer, not water.
Besides, we don't want to trigger William again. He's already hopping mad about wort we've been paying attenuation to. No need to be bitter about it, or have a sour face. So shut your bung hole and drink up!
And remember: Ale's well that ends well.

Funny it is that I have only advocated for beer while you went off on some health water bent. True, ale's well that ends well, but whiskey is better. |

Sadly for some reason my alkyhaul consumption has plummeted dramatically this year. Partly to limit carbs, and partly because I just don't seem to enjoy it as much as I used to. And I'm a cheap drunk as well.
I do prefer wine with food. But I've been buying those little Sutter Home mini bottles and that surely is foul stuff. Got a full wine rack of real wine.. but... The nice thing about red wines is that keeping them a while generally improves them.
Whisky? Rarely touch it. I still have Chivas Regal that was gifted to me at a job I had about 10 years ago. It's not bad if you like that kind of thing.

I used to have 2 or 3 drinks with friends almost every day, but never drank alone. I started drinking and getting drunk in my 30s with fellow employees. I soon learned that I could nurse a glass of straight whiskey for hours because I didn't like the taste. I did developed a taste and love of good whiskey, but not before I learned that a drop tastes the same as a gulp. These days, I have a shot about once a week if I remember. |
