Juventus is controlled by the owners of Ferrari, and the two Milan teams are controlled by Berlusconi and the other by Oil Millionaires (Moretti). They control the refs, the police and everything else. Puhonix, i'm Napolitano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, I have never been more afraid for my life as when I was in Milan. Lake Como is really pretty. Very, very cool place to be...

Shamrock Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 In Oz, it's been the same argument. Turin, which appears in the Australian version of the world (that's the map where the south pole is at the top so that Australia becomes up-over and not down-under...) is pronunced and advertised as Turino. I just don't remember the Greek Olympics here as the Olympics in Hellas? I am eagerly looking forward to how the Beijing Olympics are to be pronounced, let alone spelt. Does wingdings even have enough characters for the chinese language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine I suppose to call a place by what the natives call it but at least be consistent. People are saying the Olympics are from Torino, Italy. Either call it Turin, Italy or Torino, Italia. Don't mix and match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate the north. There is not a more sick place in the world to live in than Napoli when it comes to industrialized countries. Just ask Furio.

rockpile Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Do you sniff the cap first, Beersnob? yep, I only enjoy 1 or 2 beers when I drink Try a Maximator, Chimay, Lambic, Duvel, Hoegaarden, Trappistes Rochefort, etc. Oh I guess if there is not a commercial for it it must be an inferior beer The USA is catching up with the rest of the world with wine, cheese and artisan bread but we still do not make good beer. Best beer in America IMO is Anchor Steam 601465[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 What is your favorite hot pocket. Typical beer snob comment "Oh I guess if there is not a commercial for it it must be an inferior beer".... I'm not calling it inferior. Exactly the opposite, actually. I'm just saying, since I'm going to end up going out after I drink my 12 or 18, why would I pay a premium price if i LIKE the low cost, cold, tasty American and Canadian beers? Plus, I'm assuming most of the beers you like that are not "commercial" beers are a bit thicker or darker, and I just personally don't like been that isn't a typical "American Light". Yes, I know. I'm a neanderthal... I enjoy light beer. 601469[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 What is your favorite hot pocket. 601907[/snapback] A very good analogy. Light lagers are indeed the hot pockets of the beer world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably be considered a "beer snob," but the U.S. definitely has some offerings you could put up against the premier offerings of other countries, especially in the hoppy categories. Plus, when I get done with the yardwork in mid-July/August down here in 100 degree/95% humidity conditions, I'm not reaching for Chimay. Rocky Mountain refeshment it is!

Best beer in America IMO is Anchor Steam 601465[/snapback] Steam is good solid beer, IMO. But, I wouldn't be so down on American beers. IF you haven't tried them already (my guess is you probably have) try some of the beers from these two: Three Floyds Brewing http://www.threefloyds.com/ Rogue http://www.rogue.com/ Also, Canada is home to one of the world's greatest brewers: Unibroue http://www.unibroue.com/english.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Three Floyds Brewing The Alpha King is outstanding. Also, Canada is home to one of the world's greatest brewers: Unibroue I like every single beer they make. Particularly the Chambly, La Fin Du Monde and the Maudite. Trois Pistoles is also nice. For those of you in Atlanta, I would also recommend Terrapin Brewery's Rye Ale, for nights on the deck/patio, or their Big Hoppy Monster for something with a little more bite. Sweetwater's Holiday offering is outstanding, one of the best beers I've ever had, but unfortunately is no longer available. Definitely look for it next year. I like Atlanta Brewing Co.'s offerings on tap, but they seem off to me coming out of a bottle, particularly the Red Brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
