I agree....Beer and tubas are a very ON topic discussion....but I'm a homebrewing tubist from way back. If I can't get my junky Ebay Eefer in shape, I'll convert to a tap for my kegged homebrew system.

I see a very positive correlation between tubas and beer.

I just looked at "festival" and "American beer" and wondered why they were in the same sentence. I can only hope that these aren't typical mainstream American beers.

I had the same reaction when I saw "great" "American" and "beer" after another

For those of you going who like strong beers and ales, may I suggest you try these east coast brews, all around 10% alcohol. On Long Island, we have the Blue Point Brewery and John Harvard's. If you find Blue Point, check out their Old Howling Bastard. John harvard's has Hoppapotamus, which is another great, strong beer. My favorite of the strong ones might be Dogfish Head's 90 Minute IPA, brewed in Deleware. Wish I could go!
