>Strangest thing I ever
saw was when I was in Dublin a couple years ago and everyone was drinking
Bud for the equivalent of $5 a bottle. Me, I was happily sipping away at
pints of Murphy's, Beamish and Guinness for $2 a pint. Oh well, more for
me.<
Aric, I live in St. Louis, home of the world's largest brewery, Anheuser
Busch. But I can't stomach Budweiser. It gives me a headache something
fierce. I much prefer ales and stouts. I guess it is a matter of taste but
that's the way my tastes go.
But I have a friend who lives in England (Cheshire) who loves the stuff.
Pays premium for it. It was rather ironic when we went out to dinner and
there would be a bottle of Bud in front of him and a bottle of Bass in
front of me. (this was in the Bay area and a good pint of bitter was
nowhere to be found)
