RE: Completely off-topic, gas-prices & beer

Personally, I can't stand beer period (American or otherwise), but when I was in the UK I discovered I like stouts waaaaay too much!

Dogbolter (sp?) was my favorite, but I think that's a local brew. I make do with Guinness and, ocasionally Murphy's, which are about the only ones I can find over here, but I'm in a small town. Another one I liked was Directors, can't remember the others.

I have to agree with Alex though, my preferred poison is still a good vodka martini with a lime twist ;)
