Corona is just very photogenic. Most light golden colored beers are though. How many stouts did you see in the top 10 ;) |

I didn't know what other word to use. But here's what I'd say...
A) Quality is emphasized over quantity
B) May not have wide appeal. (ie. may speak only to a select audience)
Because of this gourmet things do tend to be more expensive and harder to find... |

Just got back from a beer fest. About 30+ different beer samples drunk and pissed away.

Just getting over being tipsy... |

Cheap beer uses rice which usually makes for thin watery brew. Good beer uses all barley.
Cheap beer uses fewer and lower quality hops. Good beer uses better hops and doesn't skimp.
Cheap beer uses additives (foaming agents) to get a good head. Good beer does this naturally. |

You know where one might be able to purchase some of these additives?

If you're just using it for photos then order it from Trengrove Studios if you want to improve your brewing then pick up some heading agent at your local brew store or better yet brew all grain, follow good/clean practices and alter your recipes by adding a small portion of carapils, flaked barley, or flaked wheat. Whichever is more appropriate for the style beer you are making. |

And the best beers come poured straight cask conditioned from a pub where the beer is kept well: the yeast remains in the cask and fermentation continues to keep the beer at its freshest.
Whoever mentioned Boddingtons and Caffreys are on the wrong track: that is sterilised, dull beer. Good beer comes from a pump, never a tap!

Here, Here Matthew...a well pulled beer from a proper pub is the way to go.
Give me an Abbot Ale, Spitfire, or Bishop's finger (all served in a Kent pub) or a Guinness (served in Dublin) anyday. |

most interesting beer I ever tried was made from hemp, from a microbrewery in Montreal...
...and actually I am currently making a batch of homebrew from nettles, of all things - yeah, those stingy plants that raise little welts on your hands. Cooked, they're perfectly edible and taste mildly like spinch, very healthy for you too.
So now I just need to get some bottling supplies...
Oh yeah if you're looking for a ridiculously strong beer, try Labatt's Mongoose. 8.0%. Perfect for playoff hockey! |

Cool! And your nettles brew sounds major funky. One of the weirder ones I've had was a rauchbier that tasted exactly like kielbasa. I've made chili beer, which isn't so weird, but I made it with habaneros. Ouchy.

I imagine that was worse coming out the next day than it was going in.
