But I have had some home brewed = very-dry Lambic's that were nectar of the gods. So, I know they can be = very good. Just have not found a commercial one that reaches anywhere = near that level. Same for hard cider in the states. I remember hitch hiking around = northern England in the late 80's and being introduced to hard ciders = that were really good, but unfortunately I cannot remember their names = (lots of missing memories from that time). And then there are Bavarian Hefeweisens which were some of the best = beers I have ever had (I drank a lot of them during the time I lived in = Munich in '89), but again there is nothing in the states (so far) that = can equal the local brews from that region (I've tried Paulaner and few = of the other imported brands). Love to get suggestions... Thanks, James On Jun 3, 2012, at 6:03 PM, Paul Miller wrote: > On 6/3/2012 7:18 PM, Rendernyc wrote: >> Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale is $21 a pack here.
