Kinda reminds me of the UK opinion of our "tea".

There are hundreds of microbreweries around that do have excellent selections of beer. The problem is in our free market economy you have to pander to the masses. (Whoops! Did I just say that? That's positively antithetic to my blog. (shameless plug)).

Thank you, RMMC for rummaging around and finding the Fire-brewed masterpice on which I was raised. And thank you, Kelkhil for having it hidden just for us...

There are some good domestic beers, in my opinion, though I have to agree that most come from microbreweries and people are too stupid to want to try anything they haven't seen on TV. I think that all of the Sam Adams beers are good, as well as Killian's, on a national level, and I enjoy several other less known/microbrews: Abita makes good beer, and locally in Atlanta Sweetwater, Red Brick Ale, and Dogwood (before they closed down) made some damn fine stuff.

I make it myself, but I am a bit biased as to the quality of those beers.

The reason why they say "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and then fail to explain fully, is that it can be enjoyed ANYTIME!! (In fact, I'm now imaging rum-drizzled pancakes (hotcakes? What do you call them down-under?) and grits. How shall I explain grits to the uninitiated? Have you Cream of Wheat or Malt-O-Meal? Or Farina? A bit like those yet a bit different. Porridge, oatmeal, mush, gruel...(some terms stolen from wikipedia which has a suprisingly extensive list of related grainy pastes and goos). Flavored to taste (or not at all). Correctly pronounced "gray-its" most notably said by Flo at Mel's Diner on "Alice". Probably not seen in Aussieland.

EDIT: Yes, y'all. I'm outed: Ah'm a Yankee in Reb's clothing. But Ah do mah Grits/Cream of Wheat/Malt-O-Meal using only milk no water, slathered with heaps of butter not margerine (that Oleo to y'all) and heavily salted but NOT like Vegamite. Holy ! is that stuff salty!!!
