North Coast Old Rasputin Imperial Stout is still kickass.  And that Tatonka Stout they serve at BJs Grill.  That is like drinking thin batter.

If I could send you some beer I would, but our government has all kinds of barriers against shipping beer.  Plus the can would probably explode in the plane.  Doubtless there's some Trilateral Commission rule against sending our generic beer to innocent civilians.

Except, of course, FIFA 2006 served Budweiser.  I'm still laughing at that one.  Oh MAN.  WHAT were you thinking??

while Belgian beers are excellent if you want a glass of beer, in the United States, a man does not usually set out to have a glass of beer.  More like, a pitcher of beer.  Or two.  Or four.  Your licorice savory candy beers in the tulip glasses don't work well with a couple of extra large supreme pizzas as you watch the game, or out on the lawn as you grill a few kilos of meat.  In fact, since they don't come in a can, you cannot impale a chicken on them and grill a beer butt chicken with your beer.
It does not help that it has a French name and a [motherloving] smurf on the label

I have warned you before that while you Belgians may be expert on the subject of GOOD beer, you know nothing at all about cat's piss beer.  Heneiken is refined nectar compared to the swill that bursts from the industrial vats of American corporate breweries.  If "American Beer" was a M:TG enchantment, it would be Black. 
This is urine beer-- Steel Reserve High Gravity 211.  We should weaponize this stuff to drop over trenches.

"I was thirsty, and noticed this was cheaper than bottled water. Boy, what a mistake. Next time I think I'll just stick to the water that collects at the bottom of trash dumpsters, which is not any different than this crud, but at least it's free."
"Holy cats, this stuff is putrid. The first sip made my sideburns draw right up on top of my head. My eyes watered and my ears rang. After a few more sips, when I literally began to break a cold sweat, I realized I had to pour this out if I wanted to live. There is a very real possibility I may have foreshortened my life expectancy after being exposed to this. "

Personally I recommend serving this beer over ice in a frosted mug, so it freezes and your taste buds are numbed on contact.  Even so, the sour milk flavor is going to burn through.  I'd have some sliced horseradish at hand to kill the taste between gulps.  Chug it or you won't get through the pint.

Drudgreport had a picture of Hillary up on Tuesday's big primary sweep
the Caption was "C-DAY"
and both my dad and I thought: "You...you can't SAY that!"

Chimay comes in very small bottles though.
There's no way a Marine combat veteran can order "La Chouffe".  If they export to America they'll have to change the name.  "The C" would probably work.

I like something a little stronger than Amaretto or Irish whiskey.

How long does it take to learn these? How many classroom hours?

If McCain knew how eagerly you backed him over the Democrats he'd apologize and disavow you.

Well for one thing, all the Scots in Wales could be deported to England, and ditto for all the Welsh in Scotland.

From what I hear out here in America, the worst police corruption in Europe is in France.
I think Europolice would drive the UK out of the EU.

Democrats have to have some brake or else they'd nominate some Bay Area hippie in a dashiki promising the end of the Age of Internal Combustion

then again Republicans nominated McAmnesty

Zarf maybe I misunderstood you, I thought you were saying the superdelegates can't toss Clinton even if the popular vote went for Obama?  I think they have to follow the popular vote
