Tigga --

Bass Ale is readily available in the States. I can easily acquire a case or even a Keg of it at my local (Wash. DC) booze retailers.

I used to be able to get Double Diamond, Burton Ale. I greatly prefer this refreshment over most any others, though I am not able to find it in my area anymore. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Cheers!

Cripes, I am somewhat surprised that you can readily get Bass Ale over in the States and double diamond!, blinkin' flip - I havn't seen that around in absolute ages.

I think it is fair to say that Bass ale is not as universally available over here as it definately used to be. I think most discerning ale lovers would probably blanche at the thought of drinking bass these days.

It may be that Bass is treated liked DirectorTsaarx mentioned Fosters was ie something shipped over to johnny foreigner who couldn't tell good beer if it rained on him

At least it is not US beer. We have a saying about America. We say you can buy anything you like in America, except the beer and the food because both of those you just hire for a while

I seroisuly wish I could get Double Diamond here, but I have not seen it in months. I do occasionally get Celbrator Double (Dopple?) Bok.

As for Bass Ale being "Americanized" I think that is a failry accurate statement. As with many things that are initially imported, they get "watered down" to fit the generic desires of the disposable income spending mob.

One of my friends will not drink Guiness anymore, unless he is over in England/Ireland. He says the difference is just far far to great.

Is anyone here a wine connoisseur? I am always look for more information on wines as well.

Trajan,

As joint manager of the Cantina, I naturally have a major interest in wine and like to think I am an informed amateur on the subject.

I am a major fan of all cote du rhones and particularily enjoy some of the new world whites -Friday night without a bottle or two of Banrock Station or Oxford Landing just would not be right

Setting aside the chess game, In a low voice, but deep sonorous Paladin starts to talk.
A relaxed countenance exudes a peaceful demeanor but those eyes communicate the wariness of a man who has many enemies.
“Have a seat mac.” The delivery made it clear, Not a request, not an order, Just a statement.
A casual signal brings a FBW over. Paladin request she bring mac what ever he like for lunch. He passes the FBW a Metal coin, tells her to keep the change.

Fetching slip of paper from his pocket, he shows it to mac, Notes the nervousness of the poor fellow, tells him to relax. I'm not here "for you". I am here because of you. I believe you were interested in my services. :: Hands him the slip of paper ::

EDIT: Spelling

"Hmmm" thinks Growltigga, "I wonder if this PaladinofEarth fellow and The High Gryphin are one and the same people?"

"There is no sign of Grphin at the moment, and this Paladin person has the same poor spelling ability as El Gryphho does"

"The mystery continues"

A wry smile crosses the lips. The eyes shift from mac to the well appointed kat. Nice threads, I’ll have to ask who his tailor is.

*TerranC comes in, looking miserably, seeing how he quit his job here and had to bail out of 3 PBW games, among other things, to sip some brews until he feels drowsy and weak and forgets everything.*

How's everybody?

*TerranC takes some of that German beer, and falls down drowsy*

Mac nervously accepts the paper, it reads "have friend that is missing due to a dastardly, unscrupuless deed, contact Mac at the Ye New Glactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina, Mac re-reads the paper, scratches his head, Thinks to himself, now why did I send that he tries to remember, as those cold, calculating, remorseless eyes from the stranger star into and through his countenance, sending shivers down his spine, This one, he mentaly remarks to himself, is definitly not the cream pie type, oh me oh my... and then it dawns upon his expanded scientific mind,.. could it be in regards to ......

to be continued

a bewildered mac
