*sigh* in reply to the second part of your opening statement- NOBOBY but nobody- drinks beer better than me! and---in reply to other parts of the thread American Beers are great! but you gotta stay away from the run of the mill commerical brews. i drink Yuengling, a FULL bodied lager brewed in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, they also have a very nice porter and a black and tan for those of you who's tastes have matured.Samual Adams beers are pretty good i like the "Black lager". there are a couple other small brewers i find favor withfor example- "dogfish head brewers" here in delaware make a few fine beers including a fine pumkin ale . we have a mirco brew near my home that i vist which features a ale which they call "stumbling monk" it's packing 14% acholol.
oh but the way the skunked beer smell is attributable to the dreded 3-methy-2-butene-1-thiol, MBT for short. well more on beer later i'm empty
