Questions, questions, they abound today in the beer blogosphere.<\/p>\n
* Mike Sweeney at STL Hops<\/a> asks, “Can a<\/em> beer ever be life changing?” It sprang from a tweet about Pliney the Younger: \u201cGreat beer = yes! Life changing = no\u201d Read the answers (comments).<\/p>\n * Mark Dredge of Pencil an Spoon fame<\/a> tries various beers with Jambalaya. As much as he loves Thornbridge Jaipur it doesn’t work with the dish. But Budweiser does.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve got no problems drinking Budweiser and as a beer it fascinates me, particularly its history. It\u2019s very pale, doesn\u2019t bellow out a huge aroma (most people drink it straight from the bottle so forget late hops), but has that classic bite of apple. It\u2019s clean and crisp, cold from the fridge it\u2019s uncomplicated and easy to drink: it is what it is. With jambalaya… it was perfect. I wanted it to just be ok, but it was spot on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I ask, why aren’t more people who take the time to drive across a town or a country to find a beer different this open minded about Budweiser? <\/p>\n * Alan McLeod,<\/strong> not surprisingly, manages to pose a pocketful of questions<\/a> without using a question mark. (Disclaimer, and he politely links this direction.) You need to head on over<\/a> to understand the headline at the top.<\/p>\n
