Ms. Keelalagirl I can actually explain the price difference, and pack design. A bud has roughly 4.2%abv, and uses less expensive ingredients. A 60 is 6%abv, and uses roughly 9 times the amount of hops as a bud (hops are expensive). Hops are what give beer it's kick. The 60 is a bitter (and I mean that in a good way) beer that's a good entrance to the land of ipa's. 90 is 9%abv, and has 13 times the amount of hops as bud. Again, more hops, more expensive the beer (120min is $10 a bottle, and as I told Sam when I got to meet him last year he could raise it to $20 and I'd still pay. They not only hop it that long, they dry hop it). The 90 is actually an east coast style ipa, meaning it's got a sweeter kick than that of the west. In certain states it's illegal to sell a beer in 6 packs above 6.3%abv, hence the 4 pack.... Sorry, I can go on forever about beer... :)

I never delved in to what makes beer taste the way it does, ingrediants and all. But I'm very picky with my beer.

Currently I have a keg of Spaten in my kegerator. I'd love to know what's in it, compared to some other swill, if you happend to know off the top of your head. I mean, what makes it taste so much better to me? I used to drink crappy bud light and coors light, and always hated guiness. But once I tried Spaten... I fell in love! :hubba:

Whats everyones favorite music? Name some artist if you like. :headbang: <----thats mine

This does NOT speak for my general taste in music, as I love pretty much everything. I used to be heavy into stuff like pink floyd and the doors, then industrial stuff like NiN and gravity kills, then ska, then "teckno" (deep house),

But this artist from the netherlands combines so many aspects of things I like.. "Caro Emerald". It's like ska/big band jazz/house/velvet female voice/ all on crack.

Check out her "back it up" video on you tube.. the best merge of modern and retro I've seen in a long time. Just can't get enough of her.

Snow sir I would have loved to join the chat, but at about 11:45am I kinda passed out here in my computer chair... Wife came and yelled at me at around 1am and said get to bed.... No sleep all week finally crash loooking at code... Oh well.... Maybe we can try again tonight?

Popeye sir Spaten uses a specific line of Bavarian hops, not to mention their brewer'as yeast they use has been refined for generations. The yeast itself gives another aspect to the taste of beer, why two companies can make the same type of beer with the same exact ingredients, and it comes out different... Not to mention what temps they use, etc... A lot of variables come into play when making beer, it really is the greatest form of chemistry. :)

Ms. Linrag all I can remember is how bad my friends and I were during middle school... I hope none have put you through what we put our teachers through....

thanks for asking, mr. m -- i can stand up today so that's a good thing!
And i'm sure you've already tried caffeine for your head, but for some reason that's one of the few things that'll stop my headaches...a regular real coke. not diet, not mt. dew...just regular old red coke. hope today's better for you

Jbmcdan sir my caffeine intake is already sky high.... Been addicted since I was around 8 thanks to asthma meds (suffered from that until I was 16)... Thank you for the advice though. :)

Thank you Maxwell sir for the musical moment. :)

Tempted to post a video of myself venting angrily at the anti-ecig powers against giving smokers the choice to not die from cigarettes. Sorry, I didn't check to see first that it was not embedded by the guy who made the video buy stealing the song and pictures from EMI, Apple. Weird of them not not share what they stole. lol

I tried to make a google ad for my ecig blog, but google won't accept ads for the ecig, causing me to flip my friggin lid. ....removed by maxwell_edison.... (check youtube beatlesnumber9 channel). Grrrr at the world. :) BANG! BANG!
