IDK, the myth about vaccines causing autism seems to be doing numbers

Damn... That's good painful but good.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that "michlen" means Michelin — heck, even my fucking spelling correction instantly corrected it to that. And the Michelin guide only does restaurants. So this person is like a starfish: shit comes out of their mouth.

No. He meant his uncles Mitch and Len got hammered one night and wrote a blog.

MAGA is doing a pretty good job of weakening the economy and safety of the United States without a pandemic or actual war.

u/Worldly-Card-394 13h ago

they got no pandemic, but they are collecting epidemics at a very fast paced rate

In no universe ever is American “alcohol” the finest in the world in any category of any alcohol produced in the history of mankind

u/ThisWillTakeAllDay 14h ago

You obviously haven't read the "Michlen" guide to the finest toilet brewed hooches in the world.

u/Worldly-Card-394 13h ago

it's a guide written on a towel by OOP's friend, Michlen

Would you take food and drink advise from a tyre manufacturer?

Bourbon. I think we might just about be able to give them bourbon

u/Nzgrim 13h ago

That's like saying Americans are the best in the world at American football. Like, sure, technically correct, but it's leaving a big part out.

2

u/EddieGrant 13h ago

And even that was invented by the Irish, Brits and French. There's a reason it's called Bourbon.

u/Hattkake 13h ago

It's like what Monthy Python said: "why is American beer like having sex in a canoe? Because it's fucking close to water".

u/Daztur 13h ago

Right, because nothing whatsoever has changed about American beer since the 70's so that joke is still 100% timely!

u/CautiousLandscape907 12h ago

No one offended by Monty Python has ever been the hero

-3

u/Daztur 12h ago

Monty Python was spot on...in the 70's. Just there are a gazillion kinds of American IPA etc. now so the joke is just a tad bit dated now.

u/edgefinder 11h ago

That kind of beer doesn't get exported. Coors is still piss.

-1

u/Daztur 11h ago

Plenty of it is exported if you know where to look, I can find it easily here in Korea.

Coors, like Miller and Budweiser, is not even American owned anymore. The biggest American-owned breweries are now Sam Adams and Yuengling, both of which are fine.

u/edgefinder 11h ago

Okay sure, you know where to look and what to look for. That is not the case for most people. Reputations exist for a reason, and even at the craft tier of brewing, I'd stake the best of Canadian craft beers against America's best any day.

u/Daztur 11h ago

I'm still annoyed at the false advertising of Keith's "IPA" and the horrors of the Ontario beer store. Quebec was lovely though.

u/Tiddles_Ultradoom 13h ago

In fairness, some of the best Napa Valley reds are pretty good. The problem is they rely on exclusivity and hype. I had an excellent bottle of Cakebread Cellars Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc that was as good as a Grand Cru Pauillac. But a waiting list for Screaming Eagle at £5,000 a bottle? I could be wrong, but that sounds like a 'Boomer Cav' wine made to be seen being enjoyed.

Also, Pappy Van Winkle is excellent. Again, the exclusivity and hype take over; I had a glass of 30-year-old Highland Park once, which is cheaper and about as rare as a bottle of Pappy and it was just as excellent... and that's not even in the top tier of 'finest'.

u/visiblepeer 14h ago

There is an excellent Budweiser brewery, but it's not in the USA.

u/Miss_Annie_Munich 13h ago

It’s the original one.
But it’s the same with the movies: if a European film is locally extremely successful, they’re doing an American remake which usually isn’t half as good as the original one

u/peterburress 13h ago

An American scotch or American Canadian whiskey is really good

3

u/Justredditin 12h ago

Wtf is "American Canadian"? I think you mean American/Canadian or American or Canadian... We are two completely separate countries with two separate whiskey industries, who both have different regulations around distillation and aging. They are not the same. Still tasty, but not the same.

2

u/peterburress 10h ago

I thought the sarcasm was clear enough. Scotch is only made in Scotland as well

1

u/edgefinder 11h ago

You can just call Canadian whiskey "rye"

This conspiracy theory is made out of bits of litter and chewed gum.

Christ, stupid is spreading like a disease and is worse than evil. At least evil can be bought, reasoned with, or shamed, stupid will kill until it's dead

Can I have a pint of “3 star Michelin” piss water please!!!

u/Electronic_Excuse_74 13h ago

Those are all words, but I’m not sure I understand them in that order.

u/GwimWeeper 13h ago

What "miclen" reviewed american alcohol is world class?

Jack Daniels is one of the best valued brands. Yeah okay. They move volume but all else being equal, it's far from the best.
