There might have been a problem with the sewer backing up that day, Tron..its been known that when the Yankees come to town that the sewer pipes systematically back up.

Well it was definitely the right colour then

You probably had a Red Hook Ale. Thats what you described anyway....my favorite is anything from the Pike Brewing company.

Edit: I take that back, Red Hook is brown, but clear. You may have had some flavor of a Wheaten or Oatmeal ale.

If it's brown and in a glass...I will drink it for the taste.

Having been to Canada many times, and enjoyed their stronger varieties of beer(mostly for the strength, not the taste), I've found that it's nearly impossible to find a happy medium between alcohol content and taste.

Anyone got any suggestions I could actually down here in the states? I'm drinking an Icehouse right now and for some reason, can't get the malt-liquor association out of my head.

I think in Vladivostok you'll have a chance to taste Russian strong beer: Stariy Melnik Strong, PIT strong, Yarpivo Strong and others. Just don't drink Baltika #9, it's a bottled headache! But I think that in Far East you'll drink better alcohol, like Ussurian balsams made on taiga herbs.

Please check your mail, I'm sending you a contact to my friend in Vladivostok now.

well you wont find any good main stream American beer thats STRONG (for the most part out side of the "ICE" beers)

Best ting to do is find a TAP ROOM or a micro brewery they usually will have 1 or 2 strong beers in the nature of 9 - 15 % alcohal.

I just picked up a case of Troegenator Double Bock, made in Harrisburg PA, 8.5%. It's a pretty decent beer, a little bit of malty sweetness on the finish and crisp and hoppy overall, not "chewy" like some really strong beers can be. It's better than the Späten Oktoberfest I had last month that seemed to have not been handled well.

It's a good time to like beer and live in Pennsylvania. A lot of craft breweries are making some good beer here, and the larger breweries like Lion and Yuengling, Rolling Rock and Straubs are putting out acceptable mainstream product.

Tis the season for a strong beer:

Doggy Claws at 11.5%

Most of Hair of the Dog beers, in Portland Oregon (Microbeer capitol of the world), will run around 10%.

Listen to Funkypants. Also you should try "Faro", not too strong, and it's made wiht malt.

Mhhh... wish I were not in the office now.... farooo...
