Valerie: thanks. I'm well aware of the poisons in fish, sadly. I avoid tuna, prefer salmon
actually, I'm sure that has problems too though. One of these days my head will explode
like the end of a thermometer, too much mercury

Flat Foot: I haven't had Satan red, but I have had Lucifer and, of course, Duvel. For a
while I really into Duvel and as it is one of the most popular ales in Belgium, there are
many competitors who came up with similar names. Oh ... there's a Beelzebub .. believe
it's made in France, the ABV is near 15% and it is a terrible brew

I'll try most anything once, but drinking it beer of a champagne flute gives me the
willies. LOL How 'bout a Satan Red?
Any good?

Flat: sometimes I'm drinking beer when I research stocks so I can have the best of both
worlds.

William: yes, I've had sour beer, in Belgium (you can get these brands in the USA at Total
Wine). There are three sour beers of note: (1) Flanders red ale (a top notch brand is
Rodenbach Grand Cru); (2) Oud Bruin, Flemish brown ale (try Liefmans Goudenband).

The third (and much more "sour") is lambic. This is a very unusual beer; when you visit a
lambic brewery, the vats are in open-air attics because it is wild yeast that ferments
this beverage. Lambic is only brewed in the Senne valley region of Belgium (in
Pajottenland). If you can get a bottle of Cantillon, try that.

I drank way too much lambic in Belgium. Actually, Belgium is beer paradise so you'd have
to be crazy to not drink too much there. My Ex loved the fruit lambics - kriek (cherry),
framboise (raspberry), peche (peach) - Any! These were good as long as it was just fruit
juice that was added, and *not* sweetened fruit juice.



Gueuze is a type of lambic beer:

Did you ever try sour beer. You put raspberry syrup in it. Takes a little time to get
used to it. Supposed to be the oldest drink in existence. It is ferminted in the bottle
and you do not drink the dregs,

BTW, I have heard Cramer say on more than one occasion that 5 to 10 stocks makes a good
portfolio for the individual beer drinker. Less than 5 - you are not diversified and more
than 10 you have a mutual fund. 1 hour per week homework per stock and average pickr does
not have more than 10 hrs for home work. Cuts into beer time - I suppose. He has also
said that no more the 20% of your port should be speculative plays. I did not dream this
one up. Decent advice for the average joe watching his show during cocktail hour.

Ps. Yuengling and Guinness are my everyday brands - home made black and tan

Peter, careful with the sushi! Recently, there was a story out of NYC about sushi made
with tuna having dangerously high levels of mercury. Also, the sushi that can be bought
pre-made in stores is made of cheaper tuna and is also high in mercury. If you and
daughter #2 eat it, I wouldn't eat much. This, coming from a longtime sushi lover. It does
go great with beer though!
