I just have to dodge the odd indian raid, learned my lesson and keep wagons circled at all times now).

**Frazzled**

Always sound strategy.

Ironically there's a South Afircan term for circled wagons that sounds like a beer.

**agnosto**

I'm down with anything that sounds like a beer.

Well, define 'beer'...

Does that include Ales, Stouts and Lagers?

**chaplaingrabthar**

Shiner Bock? You poor poor fools.

**MasterDRD**

God it must be fun to be Texan. *that's a JOKE, people*

But seriously... I want one.

**Frazzled**

Well Canada has some decent beers, but they also are a gateway drug to really good European beers.
Shiner's decent, but merely decent. Having said that its scads better than the stereotypical American beers.

**SilverMK2**

You mean fizzy wee?

**Frazzled**

What?

I find it interesting that Anheuser Busch makes (or did at one time) Killians red, and some nice other "internationals" but then makes Bud. Why? WHY????

Scots unleash world's strongest beer
Alert Print Post comment 41% ABV 'Sink the Bismarck' torpedoes German rival

A Scottish brewer appears to have torpedoed a German rival's claim to the world's strongest beer, by bottling a "quadruple IPA" weighing in at a liver-bashing 41 per cent ABV.

Just weeks after German outfit Schorschbrau floated its 40 per cent Schorschbock, Aberdeenshire hop-botherer BrewDog has counterattacked with the provocatively-named Sink The Bismarck!

BrewDog MD James Watt, pictured above (r) with fellow beermeister Martin Dickie (l), said: "In true BrewDog fashion we've torn up convention, blurred distinctions and pushed brewing to its limits with this audacious amplified ale."

The company's website notes: "By pushing the boundaries in brewing we can highlight all that is exciting about craft beer and make more people aware that an alternative to mass market beers exist. As a company, responsible consumption and better education about beer is ingrained in all we do.

"Beer has a terrible reputation in Britain, it’s ignorant to assume that a beer can’t be enjoyed responsibly like a nice dram or a glass of fine wine. A beer like Sink the Bismarck! should be enjoyed in spirit sized measures."

Well, at £40 for a 330ml bottle, we doubt anyone will be quaffing a Sink the Bismarck! like Saturday night fighting lager. If you like your beer "officially cranked up to 11" and have the stomach and wallet to handle it, Sink the Bismarck! is available only online, right here. ®

My dad has a couple of bottles of one of the previous "strongest beers in the world" (think they are about 35%?) on display in their house. They look very beery.

And a lot of the "American" beer we get here has been described to me as not very good (going as far to be called "fizzy wee"). Hence the comment.

Though I was debating putting a silly face at the end to show that it was not meant to be taken seriously.

no face needed. Thats pretty damn accurate.

Sadly due to college kids being cheap as sin the beer companies feel they can put out a cheap product to satisfy this hunger for craptastic beer. The lack their of for delicous hops brewed just right or in the form of a nice thick stout I dare say has fallen on deaf ears for many now adays. Alas the best beers to find are often the home brews

If it's a semi-automatic, then it'd be legal. Tho I think there may be an issue with the amount of ammo it can carry.

I would think that if Mexico tried to re-annex Texas again, we'd see even more Americans stepping up to defend our Texan brethren, so no Alamo 2... Also, if we capture the Mexican general, we're not going to fall for the "honor" BS - we'll ship him to Gitmo!
