Not like today's thin beers.
Gruit uses Herbs/Flowers instead of Hops.
It's what for Supper Beer.

Re: Wise words from Thomas Sowell

IDK, but it looks like bad journalism as well possibly because the numbers don't appear to be inflation adjusted. The numbers in the study they were talking about were inflation adjusted, I didn't read the WaPo article. My personal take is the lower mid and mid-mid stats are why so many young peopl...

It was a beloved beverage, celebrated in poetry and song. But it was also recognized as a potent force whose consumption could prove risky. In...

Re: Kenosha Riots Turn Deadly as Shootouts Erupt

Serious question, has Trump tried to call for calm and healing? Or does he only threaten to send in the military/National Guard? Maybe he will tonight in his acceptance speech? Do one or the other I guess. Doing both would be strange, but not inconsistent with how he does things. If the left is usi...

Re: Mask Question

So time for everyone to give their opinions. A year from now, will we all still be required to wear masks in most public places? How about 2 years from now? And if mask requirements under the law go away, will there still be a sizable majority of people who continue to wear them? If so, will most o...
