>It is a pleasure to meet someone else in this country with a sense of taste for good beer! Most people that I know that drink beer produced in this country just want to get drunk. They have no sense of taste.

Although it's been a really long time since I've had more than 2 or 3 drinks, I still think that if you are going to get drunk, do so with a good quality stout! :)

I agree with you about the taste thing. A great beer...a great cigar...a great friend...all are worth the time and effort to find. :)
