    Stop right there. I have Celiac Disease, so can't drink beer because it's from malted barley, which is as bad for me as wheat. 40 years ago when I did drink beer I was very particular. I loved Loewenbrau and Heinekins and found Coors almost as good. Nothing else tasted decent to me, particularly not the beers I drank while in the US Army in Germany, the Dunkel and the Helle (Dark and Bright). I guess the beers I liked were not German style but Dutch style.

      You know, there are now gluten-free beers available.

        I actually haven't been drinking beer for a while, because the carbonation is so hard on my digestion. I like beer, but not enough to offset the inevitable misery. I don't drink soda anymore for the same reason.

          Do they taste as good as Heineken's or Loewenbrau? Or even Coors?
          Actually, doesn't matter HOW they taste, they're full of hops, and hops is now an established health food. It's even good for my migraines.

            I haven't tried them, because I have no issues with gluten. I believe Omission brewery has an entire line of gluten-free beers.

                Speight 5 Malt Old Dark Ale is rather good. (especially when I'm down in Dunedin at the Speights Ale House that is next to the brewery)

                "TASTING NOTES:
                5 malt old dark was introduced into the Speight's range in 1992 to meet consumer demands for the classic 'dark' beer. No prizes for guessing why it got its name. By carefully selecting, roasting and matching 5 separate malts we have crafted a dark beer that gives rich, creamy, chocolate fudge flavours swiftly followed by coffee overtones. Perfect for warming the cockles on a stormy night."

                  Looks like it's unavailable in my area. The only NZ beers available are Steinlager (which I've tried) and a couple varieties of Moa.

                      As the old Irish toast so aptly puts it:
                      Here's to a long life and a good one, a quick death and an easy one, a long love and a true one, a cold beer and another one.

                      I'm always still in trouble again

                        See if you can try the Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin (IPA). It is like the gateway drug into IPA's! haha.

                        I, personally am not the biggest fan of IPA's, but the Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin and regular Sculpin are quite tasty. I highly recommend it.

                          I really like Weyerbacher's Blithering Idiot (having one now). It's got quite a kick, though (11% ABV).

                            I've been successfully staying away from beer for the past few months, because of how hard the carbonation is on me. I'm a little bummed, because I do like it, but oh well. My guts thank me for it. (Beer is by no means the cause of my gut problem, but the carbonation is nothing but bad for it.)

                              Just had a Moa Imperial Stout.

                              Zym, you might try tracking some down. It had pretty much no carbonation.
