SASless OK?
I'm impressed that British beer has such a following among our Atlantic cousins
Dear Boy.....you should be appalled that there is a British following for American "Beer".!
These folks are surprisingly good
though most tend to be too hoppy for my taste all said and done) Love Street
Guns and Oil American Lager
Lorelei Blond
About Theakstons: after my tour of the Lake District, and a memorable afternoon at a Theakston's pub (late 80's), I have a special place in my taste buds for that particular family of ales, and their Old Peculiar.
And of course, Guinness is in a class by itself. I just don't have one after a hot afternoon of yardwork; it's very much "a pint at the pub with friends" kind of choice.

I see American Beer being like making love in a Canoe....f@cking near water!
Bell....I shall stipulate to your appraisal....as I do not have the basis upon which to judge using your standard which I assume you do.

Have to agree with Lonewolf - I had some Sam Adams in San Francisco a couple of years ago - certainly a decent micro brew and so far superior to Bud and Coors.
Crab, I don’t think Sam Adams is any longer considered a micro brewery, along with others, such as SweetWater(been a Brit never understood their 420 brew!), that started as micro brewery and now are available outside of the USA.
Lonewolf, my wife is American and enjoys the occasional Guinness, but says it doesn’t compare to the Guinness that she had the first time I took her to Dublin, that said it was St Patrick’s Day so things might have got a little blurred!

Fortunately the Veterans Administration is picking up the Bill....after almost two years of fighting the admin system to get the approval....and four calls to the White House VA Hotline!
It took one full year for the VA to approve it the first time....but they approved it for the wrong hip....which necessitated starting the process all over again.
Those who wish for Single Payer Health Care do not understand what they are asking for!

Nomorehelos - yes, I found Sam Adams in Majestic recently
As for Guinness, hated the stuff until I drank it in Ireland at 3am after a long night SAR job out to 17 West - tastes completely different (and the Queen was paying which helped).

crab, that's interesting about the Queen's paying for Guinness and flavor.
My wife says that dinner always tastes better when I do the cooking.
Hmmmm,

Sasless survived the hip replacement surgery.....is well doped up with pain killers and has fallen in love with his Nursing Team!
Some Physical Therapy and it is off to the Goose Bay Tea House to convalesce.
One night in hospital is standard these days.

Quick update.....yesterday's post was a bit premature.
Factually correct but a bit optimistic
When the remaining effects of the anesthesia from the surgery wore off....and my five hour kip allowed for the Pill type meds to wear off....someone had snuck into my bedroom and extracted some revenge for past sins.
I felt like I had gone 15 Rounds with Mike Tyson and Mohammed Ali.
I was unable to get out of bed without real assistance and then only with a prolonged visit to the Hurt Locker.
This morning, having gotten back ahead of the pain, and having a good nights rest....a huge cup of coffee....life is much improved.
Getting behind the Lift/Power Curve is one thing.....but getting behind the Pain/Meds Curve is far more serious an error.
No John Wayne show of toughness from me.....yesterday cured me of that silliness.
My Lady asked if I was hurting....and I told I was not....and that I just felt a good cry now and then was good exercise for the tear ducts.
I am very thankful of all the help and assistance all my friends have shown me during this.....both of them.
Now who hid my jar of Opioids?
