I'm no judge of ales since I never liked them. Lagers were my usual tipple. Oland is another ale made, as it happens, by the makers of Moosehead.

Actually, wanting to make love in the worst way involves standing in a hammock in a sandstorm.
You can brag about having done it but there is absolutely no erotic pleasure derived from doing it.
Many things in life are like that, and usually involve poorly thought out wagers or becoming involved with a fraternity.

The only truly world class Canadian beers that I've had (and I've had quite a few) are those from Unibroue from outside Montreal. Most, if not all, of their beers are Belgian clones, but really good ones that all rated near the very top of their respective styles.

Griesedieck Brothers was very big in St.Louis before Anheuser-Busch came along. In fact, Harry Carey did broadcasts for them before Busch bought the stadium.
The name couldn't have helped. Yes, it's pronounced nearly as bad as it looks. The family later expanded and also produced Stag and Falstaff, both of which I remember folks consuming when I was a kid. Both tasted like crap.
My first place, my best friend/roommate came up with a metal sign that covered the entire wall. It was the Falstaff symbol, but said Griesedieck Bros.
Can't find an image like it on the net. Sure wish I had it now, probably worth a few bucks.
