re: Best/Worst beer, IYO...

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I got this one. At least the worst end. Anybody who doesn't say Hecht Schlenferla Rauchbier has never tried it. It is so awesomely awful that you must try it if you have the chance. Nevermind beer - in my life I have never tasted anything so disgusting. Drank it all down, of course, other than offering a few sips to tablemates to watch their expressions. Flying Saucer in Memphis is the only place I've ever seen it. No surprise as they have just about everything.

Best: Hard choice. All of the German beers my wife has smuggled into the country on her numerous trips there are very good. Every Aktien and Bitburger variety is really good. Domestically I'd have to go with Southern Pecan from Favre-land.
