I did, it's good, but not exactly my cup of tea. My friends would say it's not tar-like enough for me lol.

I also tried Corona Familiar. I was at a store bummed that they didn't have the big bottles of Guiness stout I like, looking with distaste at what they had (Foster oil can? Warmed over nasty Heineken?), and a big Mexican guy came up to me. He was scary so I shot him. Just kidding :-) He said try the Familiar, it's what they really drink in Mexico. Long and short another lighter (to me) beer but with a pleasant sharper taste, I thought much better than regular Corona.

Thanks! And thanks for all the beer recs.

Burning River is one of my all time favorites. Folks who think it's too charcoally generally prefer the Dort. Edmund rocks too.

The label on 'Holy Moses Ale' cracks me up, tho I'm not a white ale fan. The Founder of Cleveland was Moses Cleaveland (an early paper didn't have enough room for the whole name across the top so left out the 'a') (that's our story and I'm sticking with it :)). Moses parting Lake Erie with Cleveland as the promised land:

Holy Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Batman! :) Yeah, I'll shamelessly plug the poor depressed Forest City whenever I can.



Lol! It's more of a Night Train vs Mad Dog kinda thing :D

Yeah, he was a darned capitalist land speculating pig :D Surveyed the area and split.

The area is called the Western Reserve. I found out accidentally that it was originally the 'Western Reserve of Connecticut', controlled and originally settled by Connecticut, and it shows in some areas, very New England-ish in places.

Or as one older lady newly arrived from NYC complained to me once, 'Geese, geese, geese! (in kitchen decor slathered all over everything). Don't you have anything modern?' :)
