Well in Strike's defense, a hot teenage college football player sounds exactly like the kind of toy my mother would seduce for a weekend's amusement and I was wondering which one was Strike and

Strike and I make friendly banter. Heck, if we'd like each other any more we'd have to get married. None of our mutual insults are ever mean spirited.

Back to beer: anything Belgian for me. When there, I'll have whatever local beer the bar has on draft. You just can't go wrong.

Beer brands can be deceptive. Recipies can be used globally. Some ingredients as well. But fully finished beer is too heavy and expensive to ship all over the world. So brands brew their beers locally. Most notably, they use local water. This accounts for the vast difference in taste and quality of the same brand in different regions and continents. Carlsberg, Heineken - they taste very differently in Europe than they do in America. For the real thing, one has to travel to North Europe.
