America had a good and widely varied brewing industry in the 19th century which was wiped out pretty badly by Prohibition. Only the very largest breweries survived (making near beer and 'health drinks') and when they brought back their original recipies after Prohibition ended they often made changes. Plus, most cheap brands of American beer these days include a lot of rice hulls in the mash -- which helps provide alcohol without providing as much taste and fullness as malt.<BR/><BR/>David,<BR/><BR/>We're just north of Austin.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1142911021687411302006-03-20T22:17:00.000-05:002006-03-20T22:17:00.000-05:00Brendan -I knew I liked you for a reason, though I...Brendan -<BR/><BR/>I knew I liked you for a reason, though I would have gone for the Guiness m'self.

I couldn't find it here (Dallas) for years and years. I had it out in California when I lived out there and knew how good it was. One day I found it at this po-dunk little gas station in a bad part of town. So I started frequenting that little gas station much more than I used to (which was never). Went in the other day, and they don't carry it anymore. I wrote down the name of it to the Chinese lady behind the counter. Maaapeeessss??? she kept saying. Harp is such a good beer too. Whats more is that it usually is 5.99 for a six pack at Kroger. That matches the price of Shiner which is a pretty shallow beer I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
