    Imagine this. That is Windows 8. Now, imagine this. That is Windows 8.1.

    Sure, it's a pretty ball and all, but it's broken and changing the paint job isn't going to fix it.

    I work as a Sous Chef in a French Restaurant in Seattle. We do get many of our cheese's imported from France of Italy but there are some very good American cheeses. Some people complain that American cheese isn't as good as French cheese but it is just not true. It is just as good only different. Italian cheese is not the same as French cheese but most people assume European cheese is all good. I taste test different cheeses for the restaurant and I have had some very bad European cheese. The same goes for wine or beer. American gourmet food tastes different but that is a good thing. We wouldn't want to try and beat the French at making French cheese, that would not work. Instead American producers create their own style that has come around to much acclaim for example in the wine world.

    You can find many great food and drink producers all over America. You can't say that Australia doesn't have any good beer just because Foster's is from there.I wont list any wineries because that is one topic that IS covered very well. A short list of companies I recommend follows:

    Dogfish Head Brewery (my favorite beers)
    Redhook Ale Brewery
    Fish Tale Ales (organic beers)
    Stone Brewing Co.

    Juniper Grove Farm
    Rogue Creamery (excellent blue cheese)

    Redhook used to have Doubleblack Stout, brewed with Starbucks espresso, unfortunately discontinued in 2002.

    This is nothing new. Red Hook made Double Black Stout using Starbucks coffee years ago.

  5. Widmer and Redhook Beers too by mikeraz · · Score: 1 · on BudNet Tracks Your Suds

    Bud also distributes Widmer and Redhook beers. These micros are familiar to people in the Pacific Northwest. Widmer is one of the three oldest Oregon Breweries.

    I'm sure they, like Miller and others, picked up a few microbreweries during the boom in the 90's

    That would be Red Hook. Anheuser Busch owns 25% and handles national distribution and marketing. They also made a bid for Budvar, but the Czech government wouldn't sell.

    Au Contraire, mon ami. You obviously have not tasted American Microbrews. The likes of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Harpoon IPA, or Winter Hook are widely available, and thoroughly delicious. More obscure, but equally excellent beers are Tuckerman's and Shoal's Pale Ale. Even the relatively high volume Red Hook ESB and Samual Adams Boston Lager are tasty beers.

    Sorry, saying American Beer is Piss is trolling, not clever.

    Red Hook, yum.

    I did a tour in Kirkland for a couple months a few years back. Got really hooked on the stuff. Not a whole lot around the midwest to compare. Ah, memories.

  10. Re:No more Guinness for me, time to find a new sto by lizrd · · Score: 1 · on Guinness Beer Really Sucks
    Ok, firstoff Harps is nothing like a stout. But otherwise, there are shitloads of very fine stouts avaliable across the US. By and large I'd say that Guiness isn't even the best example of a stout that can be found in the US (importing tends to be hard on beer, buy american). Personally, I prefer a stout with a little more flavor than Guiness. Some of my favorite suggestions would be Red Hook Double Black Stout which is avaliable nationally, or Goose Island Oatmeal Stout again avaliable most places, or if you happen to be in the Midwest you might try one of the various beers from James Page in Minneapolis or one of the severalextremely good stouts at the Blue Cat Brew Pub in Moline, IL, or the Black Cobra Stout at the Cedar Brewing Company in Cedar Rapids, IA.

    If you feel really brave and want to learn more about beer and get a much better feel for what good beer is really about I suggest brewing your own beer. The project will cost you about $100 to get started on, but then you'll be able to make some damn fine beer for a little over $10/case. I've found that some of the stuff I make is as good or better than imported beer that costs me $7 or more for a 6-pack.

    If you don't feel that ambitious, go to any larger liquor store and have a look at their beer selection. Most likely you'll be able to find something brewed in your area of the country that hasn't suffered the abuse of being loaded onto a ship and sent across the Atlantic. It'll cost less and taste better.

    Please note, I have no financial interest in any of the companies that I linked above. I just really like good beer and these are places that help me get it. Overall, there is a whole lot of really good beer in this country. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
