The thread for talking about Beer

Thread necro to avoid new thread:
Gentlemen and ladies, I have made (er, am making)... Beer!
Now I get to let it sit and ferment while I'm off at school, come back in a week or two and bottle it, come back another week or two later and try it.
I used a Mr. Beer kit, despite my initial urge to go for the whole kit and caboodle which I couldn't really afford. If I end up really liking doing this I'll probably move on to assembling a real set, and using the 'keg' from this kit for ciders.
What I used:
-Mr. Beer West Coast Pale Ale mix
-"booster" (sugar?)
-1 Tsp Honey
- ~1/4 Anjou pear, diced up and dumped in
I'm hoping to get a relatively dry, bitter ale with a bit of pear flavour in the background. Though I could just as easily end up with something terrible.

Hank's and Thomas Kemper are the best root beer you'll ever have, Hank's also makes great birch beer if you can find it.

BS. Thomas Kemper's is nothing special, Henry Weinhard's is the best Root Beer on offer.

I was thinking of rezzing this thread myself, as I had a particularly tasty beer last weekend, a Big Eddie's Imperial Stout. I looked into it a bit and discovered that Big Eddie's is actually a line of craft beers made by Leinenkugel's, a WI brewery that otherwise makes sub-par beers (with a couple exceptions) while trying to maintain this whole "craft brewery" image. It sucks though because it's only available in Madison, Milwaukee, and Green Bay; I live about 20 minutes from the Leinie's brewery yet I would have to drive more than 2 hours to go somewhere that sells it.

Haven't had it but when I get paid I'll order some.
