And the beer. I forgot the beer.

Really? Would you reciprocate with him?

paranoidandroid

You mean the piss coloured liquid that poses as beer?

Uncle Ebenezer

I meant that "people" are always annoyed with him too, so I already do!

That's only the stuff the great unwashed masses drink - beer flavoured water, I call it. There are plenty of good beers here, if you're prepared to look them out.

paranoidandroid

We all do.

Yeah I've found plenty of them too. I was really referring to the shite that's labelled and served up as "domestic draft," in every bar or restaurant that I visit.

Uncle Ebenezer

If you have a BJ's Brewhouse near you, try their beers. They have a good range (many brewed in-house) - I particularly like the "Jeremiah Red". Great flavour and pretty strong.

paranoidandroid

Yeah there's one in Tampa and Orlando actually. I've tried a couple of their brews and they were pretty good, but I have't been in there in a long time.
Thanks for the tip on the brew Next time I'm near one, I'll give it a go.

They're probably forced into it anyway or get sacked. They're likely rated by various things they try and sell like credit cards and if they don't hit certain numbers get given the bounce.

The closest one to me is in bloody Indianapolis. Bugger.

We have a good brewery/pub nearby that the band plays in regularly so not only do I get to drink some good beers - I get to drink them for free as well

Uncle Ebenezer

Beer always tastes better if it's free!

Scouse Express

Unless it's the usual Gnat's P*ss made over here. Doesn't matter if it's free or they pay you to drink it - it's still Gnat's P*ss.

Very much so. They actually do a decent pint in there, with not too bad a range. They do a seasonal red ale over St. Pats that is bloody lovely. Made sure I had a few of those when I was playing there this year.

Right across the road is a bar with well over 30 taps serving beers from all over the US, UK and Europe. They do cask ales every now and then as well and the best thing is - NO TV!!! One of my absolute favourite pubs over here, it feels very much like the pubs I was used to back home. It's 15 miles from my gaff though. One day we'll have enough money to move to that town and that place will be my local. One day. Honest.

I wouldn't let it past my lips even if it was free.
