Pearly, thanks for that basic synopsis. You've made me want to go out and learn more about the beer making process.

At the time of your writing you were drinking Pilsner Urquell one of my favorite beers if it hasn't been sitting on the shelves for months.

IMO aside from the Micro breweries American beer has been dead for years. Back in the old days you used to get this wonderful aroma whenever you opened a bottle. Then at some time during the 70s it seemed as if alot of the major brewing companies started changing their brewing techniques. IMO Schlitz used to be one of the finest brews in the US until they got a new and much vaunted "master brewer" now it's unpalatable.

I lived in Japan from 1986-93 and was spoiled somewhat by some of their brews. Kirin was my favorite but if you buy it in the stores in the US it doesn't taste the same since it's being brewed in Canada by Molsen. Another Japanese beer of note was Orion Pils. In Japan the local beers have dates on them and start tasting nasty if they're over a month old but that wasn't a problem. If you got a bottle that didn't taste right and was over a month most bars would replace it with a newer one free.

Other beers that I'm partial too are Harp, Bass, Victoria Bitters, Carlsburg,Fosters Bitters just about anything made by Molsens (Brador if it's made in Canada).
