An expert in beer answers your beer questions.

I am one of the world's foremost experts on beer.

I will be offering my expert knowledge and answering your questions here for a limited time only.

Fire away.

Is there a beer as powerful as vodka?

Depends on the definition of beer.

Conventional beer yeasts won't ferment much beyond the mid teens (ABV ~15%). It's possible to get a little more alcohol by fermenting with yeasts that will go a bit higher (eg: wine yeasts). Still nowhere near vodka.

You can freeze the water out of beer or distill it in a conventional manner and make it as alcoholic as vodka, but is it still beer? Some breweries have done this, mostly as a novelty thing.

You could call whisky distilled beer. Excluding the hops it has the same base ingredients.

How does the typical beer snob differ from the typical wine snob?

Is there any overlap between the two groups?

Thanks! Does it taste better with coke or pepsi?

In my experience there is little overlap between the two groups. I have seen quite an overlap between fans of beer and whisky though.

Beer snobbery has got somewhat closer to wine snobbery in recent years. A growing number of breweries are putting out a very high end product specifically aimed at fans of fine beer. They aren't quite charging wine prices yet but the days when you could get the best beers in the world for little more than 'regular' beer are long gone. There are clearly a growing number of people willing to pay up to $30 for special and rare beers (750ml bottles).

The cost of very high end wine necessitates that it became more a hobby for the very wealthy. High end beer is certainly more open to the average person. This is certainly evident if you go to any gathering of beer fans.

I'm glad to see that you are a fan of comic books. They never really were my sort of thing though, seemed far to geeky. Whatever floats your boat though my friend.

not to discredit you, but i think stu is more of a beer expert than you are.

My local pourhouse is no longer able to carry Bitburger in draught form. How can I contact the distributor and force them to ship Kegs to Canada again? Alternatively, what's a good draught beer that will replace my delicious staple?

How much better is Coors Light than every other beer? Like waaaaaayyy better, or more than that even?

Which is closer to donkey piss consistency: Coors Light or Corona?

Micro brews, they are still the same size as regular brews. I was expecting a beer for ants. what gives.

Draft
Bottle
Draft Bottle
Cask-conditioned
Cans

whats best and under what conditions? Why

also, how much do dirty taps affect the taste of beer...cuz I have seen those things been cleaned, it is nasty.

Best I could find is a 55% proof beer served in a squirrel.

Out of all the great beers in the world, what the hell is it with white college kids always drinking corona?

I think the OP is actually a BEAR expert.

OP: What bear is best?

No idea who this 'Stu' is but I sincerely doubt it.

Do you know for certain if they have stopped sending kegs to Canada or if it's just that this bar has stopped carrying it? If they have stopped sending kegs to Canada they are unlikely to start again at the request of one drinker.

Bitburger is a pretty much an average German pils, there are plenty of others that are close enough. If this 'pourhouse' has a large selection of beers they should have something similar, but without knowing what they carry it's hard to recommend anything. Have they got a website?
