There is no single “American” beer. There are hundreds of breweries producing what may be a thousand different varieties.
But I’ll agree with the rest that what comes out of the mega-breweries is pretty lousy. But there is lots of really good stuff that comes out of local micro-breweries. But the really good stuff usually has pretty narrow distribution, so you might not be able to get what you consider the “good stuff” close to home.
Fortunately, there are quite a lot of micro-breweries in northern Virginia, so I’ve got a nice selection.
FYI: Glenn’s book was fully backed on Kickstarter and the campaign is closed, but it’s not too late if you want a copy – he’s now accepting pre-orders for when it ships.
Back when I worked in a office, we had an AED. We had a training course, but the ones designed for civilian (not hospital) use are very straightforward. When you turn it on, a recorded voice tells you exactly what to do. So you just have to listen, answer its questions and do what it tells you.
I used to live in a neighborhood with lots of black walnut trees and squirrels in said trees. Those critters are really good at throwing the walnuts to the ground – usually to break them open on driveways and sidewalks – but they have also been known to hit pedestrians. And the roof of my car has several dents from them.
