What the $@&? is the imperial system. I remember as a kid the world tried to cram that metric &@$& on us and we pimp slapped them down. Gotta keep your pimp hands strong.

all you need to know about the imperial system is that an imperial pint of guinness is 20 ounces, an american pint of guinness is a short glass

We actually decided to catch up with the rest of the world and moved over to the metric system in the '70s. You Mericans are one of the few countries left on the planet that has not yet changed over. I think that it was a big conspiracy by our government when we changed so that they could change the prices of gas at will and it didn't seem so bad when it only went up a few cents per liter (25 to 30 cents a gallon seemed a lot worse. Even now we are paying $1.18/L converted to Gallons is $5.36 per minus a couple of cents for an merican gallon cause its smaller. and our dollar is higher as well $1.01 merican. What's this got to do with beer?

metric is a magicall system that allows you to put a hundred dollars of gas into a 60 dollar tank

We should probably covert to the metric system but I'm too old to re-learn a tape measure.

Nice thing about the metric system is you can use your fingers for unit conversions - if you still have all 10 of them. :D

I like original Coors at the duck camp when it's cold. And you can't beat an ice cold Shiner Bock

I like Lagunitas Capuccino Stout or Drakonic by Drakes this time of year.

Had a mixed drink last night at a friend's house. He is a Scotch snob, single malt only, had been given some blended JW Gold.

Called the drink a Royal Scottish Blizzard, 3 parts egg nog, 2 parts blended scotch (to use the damn stuff up as he said) and 1 part Drambuie. No cinnamon or nutmeg required.

Basically a rusty nail with egg nog. Very smooth and sneaks up on you.

This sounds amazing.

I suggest trying the variety pack of the Samuel Adams winter beers.

AleBrewer · December 2012

A good friend of mine lives in OH. He sent me a nice package for Christmas consisting of Great Lakes: Christmas Ale, Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, Nosferatu, and Doppelrock.

All really nice beers, and I'm looking forward to drinking them all!! Well, I did share one with my wife.

Having a Moose Drool brown ale right now.

I had a Brown Shugga the other day, it was too sweet for my taste, but it was pretty potent. 9.9%

Aviator · December 2012

Single malt mostly, Glenf Solara Reserve 15y and Glenmorangie being favs, also Dewers 18y.

Boileregger · December 2012

Shiner in every season. No questions asked.

Unreal, as a craft ale:

picked it up at Costco, $25 a 24, will cost me $20 in taxes, but well worth it, great little brewery.

Plus1. Great beers. I just went to their brewery in Portland and sampled them all. I also really like Widmere Bros. Drifter ale, it's awesome.

What a great brother I have - came home to find this in a FedEx box on the front porch today

Howdy, Stranger!
