    When I used to teach European students, they would invariably go out and buy the cheapest crap they could find like cases of pabst genuine draft and then complain how bad the American beer is.

    I think the British equivalent would be if I bought a bottle of frosty jack and used it to declare all British cider to be shitty.

    You gotta spend some money to get good American beer. Pretty much all the nationally brewed stuff is shit. There’s a lot of local stuff that’s actually good.

    I’m not sure how European beer culture works, but one of the reasons to drink shitty American beer water is that you can drink it all day without dying.

    One more useless fact: I long thought that adjuncts in shitty American beer like corn and rice were strictly cost cutting measures. There’s definitely some truth to that. But the origins apparently go back to nineteenth century brewers being unable to achieve a clear lager with the barley that was available in America. When they used the barley exclusively, they kept getting a cloudy product.

      At least where I’m from (Portland), it’s really not hard to find good beers, ciders, and so on. There are food carts that have 20 beers on tap and an extra collection of bottled/canned options.

    Did an AI edit the image? Why is Jimmy fallon there, why is Fry there? What do they have to do with beer or the Monty Python joke. I’m so confused

    Has anyone here ever had sex in a canoe? I can only imagine the logistics of laying down enough life preservers to make it comfortable, and any sidewards motions should be right out unless you want to turn this into skinny dipping. I guess you could use the momentum to your advantage to get some good thrusts in, but really, has the bottom of a canoe ever smelled sexy?

    Just something to think about.

      The only advantage to a canoe is it’s slightly drier than the water and slightly less sandy than the beach.

        That last point, maybe sex in a canoe that was beached? Then it wouldn’t tip over and you wouldn’t get sandy.

      Canoes also have crossbars every 4 feet or so to keep them reasonably structurally sound. So those are very in your way.

      In all of human history? Almost certainly.

      Also, there is this sort of canoe, which would be much more stable for fucking in.
