I believe it is a legal requirement, Grim. Especially considering the stuff that goes into Guiness.

I am not sure you can even buy unpasteurized milk over here anymore.

Grim, not all US beers are pasteurized: Great Lakes (Cleveland) and Lakefront (Milwaukee) are a couple that come to mind.  Of course their distribution is limited by the requirement to keep the stuff refrigerated.
that page with the stats is probably skewed by the microbrews.  IF they did average alcohol per gallon, you'd get some different numbers.

its bad tasting and it is pretty lightweight...whiskey is much better (40% alcohol by volume)

but thats just my biased opinion (as your "beer" is lager...lager is terrible...ale...maybe...stou t probably...)


lager is bad nomatter where its made...


majtom your statement about vodka mkixing with anything is true...but you can mix rye whiskey with milk...if you include pepsi...wich is of course the basic recipe for a paralyzer...

Pasteurized beer ?

Are you mad ??????


Seriously Pasteurisation  is good provided there won't be any contamination by a germ after the process.  

Pasteurisation can even be dangerous in the case of a contamination by salmonella ... example :

Put some salmonella on a pasteurized cheese it spread very very fast ...

do the same on a non-pasteurised it spread slowly ...

Why ? just because in a non-pasteurised cheese salmonella is in competion with some others microbes killed by pasteurisation.

Interesting.  I'm now against pasteurization of ANY kind....  Thanks!

Ice beer is where its at if you are looking to get toejamfaced, higher alcohol content.

Asshouse/Icehouse is the king for that, Natty Ice or Milwaukee Beast Ice are good substitutes.

They do taste like crap, but then theres few beers I can afford that don't.

If your worried about taste, maybe a more fitting drink for you would be something more feminine... like a Fuzzy Navel or a wine cooler.

Same with Guiness - a pint of Guiness in Ireland is much better than a pint in England or anywhere else.


as a guiness only drinker you got that right

English hand pulled ale is not pasteurised. It's alive. That's why it tastes so good, and that's why it takes a skilled cellarkeeper to maintain the barrel in tip top condition.

The chart on the website at the start of this thread also mentioned that there were something like 170 belgian beers. 170! More like 500. I've seen the labels.

Hey Dracken, you back with us Vikings anytime soon?

I remember "Three Horses Beer" from about 40 years ago.  My Dad drank that beer back in 1963...and yes it was Dutch beer.

Green top. Fresh from the cow, you can still get it but usually only in the middle of nowhere. I've never seen it in any large city.
