[Sca-cooks] Beer was: Period gifts in jars

[Micheal]

 I have to agree most commercial large producers simply do not make a real 
good beer.  It matters not which country the large producer brands tend to 
be less satisfying. Simple reason they are attempting to please the 
majority.  Try some micro or local brews before opening a can of worms.
