    I just noticed that "ale" is a separate category from "beer" in the voting options. Paul, do you think you can change that before I accidentally give in the my beer geek tendencies and start a thread-jack on beer styles?

    Milk. Coca Cola Classic.

    I do enjoy beer and wine, but usually prefer milk or Coke.

    My classification system on many, many topics has many flaws due to my personal biases. I dont like most ales (especially modern ones), though, I like most beers
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    By "beer" do you mean "lager"? Ales and lagers are different types of beers, categorized (in the simplest terms) by their fermentation temperatures.
    It's not a big deal at all...but I'm just sayin'...

    I count lager as a type of beer. As far as I know lager is largely made of the same ingredients, though, brewed for longer.

    So you just moved ale to it's own category because you don't like it as much as other beers?

    Well as far as I'm aware traditional ale doesn't contain hops.

    That's something I've never heard before. Hops have been used for centuries to counteract the sweetness of malt (ie bitter the brew) and also help preserve beers. But if by "traditional" you mean ancient, proto-beers like gruit then it'd be true, though the mixture of herbs used in those beverages had the same function as hops, which hadn't been domesticted yet, I believe.

    Or it this just might be another case of differences in American vs British English...

    voted "beer" , but it is actually U-brew stout - no preservatives or additives, and about $1.50 per 1/2 liter
