Beautiful Ambrosia

[kandrathe]

The best beer I ever had was the first; It was hot, and I mean really hot. Like 101F with 90% humidity hot -- I was out in the fields loading hay bales onto the back of the wagon all day, with punctuated breaks to unload the hay bales into the hay loft. I got the job of being in the 110F loft catching the bales, and packing them into the loft. Anyway, it was the kind of day where you sweated just standing still.

My mom brought out a bucket of icy cold Budweisers (IIRC) and mmmm they were just what the doctor ordered.

For the best beers I think one must sample the local fare from Germany. Almost every town has their own label. Some American and Canadian micro breweries are getting closer in making a passable beer.
