Truthfully, I don't know what the difference is between a Lager and an Ale, but blonde/pale ale's seem to get my favor these days. Liquor stores are few and far between here in the Bible Belt; many towns are dry but there are two stores on my way home from work. I'll look for Sleeman Honey Brown but it's not likely I'll find it.

BTW beefy, I neglected to congratulate you on your new gig. and send money!
