I never thought of Sam Adams as regional. Sam Adams is widely available here; not sure about elsewhere in the country. I like some of their seasonal beers. The regular Sam Adams Boston lager is very good too.

I mean, I used to see it New York State but it's more ubiquitous in Massachusetts.

Drinking the Sapporo now. It's not bad. I can sort of taste the rice flavor. I guess it would go good with Oriental food. Not very remarkable otherwise, but it was worth a try.

Take this as someone who has lived in Miami damn near my whole life, it feels terrible to us too. Lol


In fact during summer everyone talks about how hot it is. I would imagine Brunswick isn't too different.
Yeah I thought Brunswick wasn't so bad. Weather History for San Juan, PR| Weather Underground

And I'm sure Miami feels significantly better, or the same, as where I was born. Average 24C dew point for the whole of July with an average high of 32C in same.

Asahi has some less rice flavor than the Sapporo. But, my top foreign brand is Heineken, I love the malty and hoppy flavor it has. Domestic beer, I like Coors the best

I don't really mind the rice flavor. I just wish I was having some interesting food to go along with it.

All the main mass-produced domestic beers are the same to me. Drinkable, but nothing special at all. Craft beers are better, but more expensive, obviously.

I wonder if Americans' overall opinions about Russia have shifted a bit more in a positive direction lately. Putin seems to be the only one who's serious about ISIS. And he damn well should be after those rats blew up that airplane and killed over 200 Russians, plus four Ukrainians and a Belarusian. I hope Russia wipes them out.

I'm actually looking forward to the day when other countries take care of the world's problems. Let Russia and France dispose of ISIS for us, considering we squandered a trillion in Iraq for no good purpose at all.

We need to save our money for more important things, like Social Security and Medicare. That's gonna be a matter of life and death for me in about 16 years...so I'm keeping my fingers crossed we'll be soon able to relinquish our role of the world's policeman.
