Beer

OMG have you heard that beer is good for you?  My brother-in-law, Buck, was right after all.  He used to say beer was like a liquid sandwich.  I heard about some study that was released touting the benefits of beer.  I've gotta say I feel better about my beer drinking now.  I'm in the ball park on the limit per day too.  I'm sure if you skip a day it's a good idea to double up on the following day.

I watched a very informative television program on beer last night.  The origins of beer,  early ingredients,  development, the whole story.  Lagers were developed in Germany(don't quote me) they use cold temperature yeast.  The beer is lighter and smoother.  Ales use warmer temperature yeast and have more taste and bite.  They're more popular in England and are darker.  They didn't mention Estonia in the program for some reason.  I've heard they have some awesome micro brew there.  Well, if the program is going to be aired in your area, I give it a thumbs-up.  Brewing is on the rise, big time, in the United States.  Hops are in!
