    I'm a big fan of Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale
    http://mdv-beer.com/pages/5_breweries/samsmith_winter_welcome.html

    Samuel Smith is a very old brewery... they claim Shakespeare used to drink it:cool:

    edit: their other beers (Nut Brown Ale, India Ale, Pale Ale, etc.) are equally good!
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    "Stuff White People Like"

    #23 Microbreweries
    January 24, 2008 by clander

    White people don’t like stuff that’s easy to acquire. Beer is no exception.

    They generally try to avoid beers like Budweiser, Labatt’s, Molson, Coors, and Heineken because if it’s mass produced it is bad. No exceptions.

    So when they need a beer, they turn to microbrews who seem to be located almost exclusively in New England, Ontario, Quebec and Colorado. Being able to walk into a bar and order a beer that no one has heard of makes white people feel good about their alcohol drinking palate.

    A friend of mine once met a white guy who brought a notebook with him to every bar. He would then keep a record of all the beers he drank and his experience with them. He called it his ‘beer journal.’

    Also of note: most white people want to open a microbrewery at some point. One that uses organic hops.

    http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/33-marijuana/

    People from many cultures like marijuana (South East Asian, Jamaica, India, Morrocco, Mexico, etc), but white people take it to an entirely new level.

    To simply purchase, roll and smoke marijuana is not enough for white people. They need to make sure they know all the different strains, cultivation technique, and methods for smoking it. They even have an entire magazine devoted those where they actually have centerfolds of plants that people have grown.

    White people are also willing to spend over $500 on smoking devices just to find new and more expensive ways to smoke weed.

    It is worth noting that at every white person, at some point, has written a high school or college paper about the history of how the DuPont industry helped make weed illegal. This paper also teaches them about how hemp can be used to fuel cars, make clothing, create food, cure cancer, and solve every single problem on earth.

    While you would assume that most white people smoke weed between 14-28 (and act as though they are the first generation to do so), the reality is that white people smoke weed well into old age. They also smoke weed with their kids! This is not a joke. White people love weed so much that they consider it a ‘gift’ to share with their kids. Leading to a generation that was not allowed to watch Power Rangers, but was allowed to toke up.

    All white people believe marijuana should be legalized, and they consider the Netherlands to a pinnacle of enlightenment. Also, every white person has had their most profound weed smoking experience in Amsterdam, so it’s a good idea to fabricate a story about your own experience there so you can quickly forge a bond. Traditional tales uses the following words: hostel, brownie, girl/guy from Hungary, crazy, locked out, chill dudes from Ireland.

    Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should ever imply that people just smoke weed to get high, they do it for medical/spiritual/social reasons, etc, or that there are any negative consequences. This will likely alienate you from white people.

    On the plus side, white people are always looking for higher quality, more potent, more organic marijuana. If you promise to hook them up with a special selection from your home country, they will likely pay a high premium.

    I apologize if this has already been done which I assume it has but maybe it has been awhile.

    What is your favorite beer at the present time? I have been a HUGE Yuengling fan but lately I have been drinking Stella Artois. A great dark beer which is tough to find around here (NJ) is Michelobe Amber Bock. It is dark like a bottle of coke but has a crisp smooth taste. If I had to choose a lite beer I would go with Miller Lite.

    Do you have a Canal's Liquor Store near you ?

    They carry just about anything you can think of

    proper favourite, though hard to get here-

    coopers pale ale
    Ditto Coopers Pale Ale, available just about everywhere here... ;)
    Also Coopers Sparkling Ale, Coopers Vintage Ale and Coopers Dark Ale (although that gives me bad headaches).

    Also partial to a drop of James Boag's Premium Lager and Cascade Pale Ale. Stella is pretty reliable too.

    Has anyone ever tried a beer called Land Shark? I saw it at the liquor store last night but passed on it.

    Sierra Nevada
    Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is my personal favorite go to beer. Everything they brew is good. Another great brewery is Dogfish Head. I really enjoy several selections from Anchor Brewing, especially the porter. Locally Red Oak is very popular and very good. They follow the Bavarian Beer Purity Law of 1516 and only use the finest ingredients. Also, unfortunately they don't bottle the beer so it's only available on tap since they keg it and deliver it within 5 days of it being properly aged. One last local brewer that is excellent is Duck Rabbit. A great site for beer reviews is http://www.beeradvocate.com . I'm pretty sure you have to login to view the reviews. I use it to keep track of what I've had. I don't review most beers that I have when I go out since it's hard to properly review them but the ones I drink at home I usually try to log so I know what to get again.

    I had Landshark at a friend's house a couple weeks ago and it was nothing special. It's basically a mix between Bud Light and Corona without the skunkiness of Corona. It's Jimmy Buffet's signature beer from Anheuser-Busch on the Margaritaville label. I wouldn't recommend it. It could be good on a hot day. One plus is they go down easy so you could drink several without thinking about it. It's kinda overpriced for what it is.

    Paulaner is my absolute favorite! Hard to find though.
    Also like Franzishaner, La Chouffe, Delirium, anything in that family.

    But when I'm living in the real world with little money, I stick to Yuengling, which I do love. But when watching the calories, it's all Miller Lite. I do like the Land Shark though- a little pricey but extremely light, great on a hot day!
    Excess in moderation.

    Don't class myself as a thug, never had a brawl in the street or touched coke, but I do love a cold Stella or eight. I here where you're coming from though, I have heard Stella referred to as a pint of "Wife Beater" in the past.
