GENAU.

Red State's Ward Clark correctly notes, "If you have to adulterate a beer, then it's not good beer."

Exactly.  "A proper beer has only water, barley, yeast, and (not too many) hops."

Mr Clark demonstrated an appreciation for those traditional Milwaukee brewers.  "We Boomers grew up in the halcyon days of cheap American lagers that were best drunk ice-cold, and after a long, hot day out in the sun, there was nothing quite like an icy-cold can of good old American lager."

These days, alas, those traditional Milwaukee beers all come out of the same factory.  They're still closer to proper than not, as in not overly hopped, not given overtones of citrus (and who let those wine snobs into the conversation), and as for that wedge of lime in a Corona, well, Mr Clark might have just caused an international incident.  "I'm reliably informed that the original purpose of that, in Mexico, was to keep flies out of your beer (yuck), and besides, Corona tastes like river water anyway, so a lime or lemon wedge could only help."

It IS Oktoberfest season, and there are a few more pleasant evenings to quaff a Marzen, and maybe enjoy the sunset and the moonrise.

Prosit!
