Being a kid in California, we did the A&W drive-thru thing. I remember the commercials in the 70's where people would hold the can with their thumb and pinky to make it look as if they had a glass mug. I spent lots of time as a kid trying to do that.

I loved those cold glass mugs. Root beer is the only "brown pop" I like.

I only found out this year that locals pronounce "Latrobe" with a long "a". Who knew?

All are delicious - I almost never drink pop because I'd rather save the calories for booze, but a good glass of pop is pretty special.

well, bitter is a beer. bitters is a digestif. which are you referring to?

"...from the glass-lined banks of the Latrobe river..."

- Is English Bitter Beer like IPA or Brutal Bitter out of Portland, OR? (I gotta start somewhere...wiki perhaps...)

Si !

no, it's pretty medium in the hop department, interstingly enough.

English Bitter has some bite, but doesn't usually seem to go overboard with the hops to the extent of smelling like a christmass tree.

Thx Jeff. Tasty maybe w/ fairly low ABV. glenn says sweet...
...Someone gave me a Moxie not too long ago. The rep is they taste nasty - I thot it wasn't so bad w/ the gentian - rooty taste - better than a malted battery-acid Cola far as I'm concerned.

...and I vastly prefer Manhattans made with good orange bitters to those made my Dad's way with Angostura (which used to be the only bitters anybody had heard of or could get back in the day).

- On the Caff to Cocaine Spectrum, Guarana is in-between somewhere - & they promote these drinks as having less caff than coffee (prob. to kids too!)...I do it *myself* for work in place of coffee sometimes - but I see somebody w/ a can & do think 'speedfreak!' somewhere in the back of my mind...
