I'm with bbncca!rebbs -- the LA times beer tasting panel must inhabit
a different inertial frame than mine; anybody who rates Schlitz better
than Ballantine IPA or Grolsch has strange tastes.

Also, in wine tastings it is customary not to rate wines that have
obviously spoiled in the bottle.  The LA times panel seems not to have
such compunctions and rated the spoiled beers "standard."

By the way, here in Boston you can now get Rolling Rock in the
traditional long-neck refillables with a horse on the bottle for ten
bucks a case.  Don't miss it.
