I tried making my own beer one winter and even using a commercial malt extract rather than doing it from scratch, it came out great. Unfortunately I quickly found that having gallons of great tasting beer readily available created certain personal issues for me. 
Actually I think it may have been ale I was brewing because of the yeast. Fascinating process though and you don't even have to bottle it since there are some smallish kegs available for the home brewer. Alas, I have no self control....
Mover Over Magnus!!!

Yeah, baddogno, it would not do for me to have access to gallons upon gallons of beer. No self control here, either.

LOL, what a moral dilemma, must have been a tough decision to drink it all :P
but yeah American home brewers make some beautiful craft beers for sure although it must be difficult for them in summertime to keep temperatures down in places like California and Texas without some kind of refrigeration where here in the frozen north of Europe its rarely a problem.
Yes, PBR is NOT the cheapest or the worst. For that, you would have to look at these beers:
Hamms
Old Milwaukee 1865 and 1865 Light.
Anything witht the word 'light' in it.
Coors. ALthough, not cheap price wise it certainly is quality wise.

Nothing wrong with Coors Banquet Beer, AKA: "Colorado Kool-Aid". Coors Light is watery. Coors Extra Gold was good, though I haven't seen it anywhere for about 20 years.

They still make Coors? It thought it died with my grandparents. They were the only people I ever saw drinking it.

They've never stopped making regular Coors (tan label with "Banquet Beer" on it), though it can be hard to find, especially at bars. Ask for a Coors at a bar and in all likelihood they will give you a Coors Light (which, along with Michelob Light, seems to be a favorite among women, and guys barely out of their teens). Tell the bartender you want regular Coors, and you'll probably get nothing more than a blank and confused stare.
Smokey and the Bandit (1977) centered around smuggling Coors Banquet Beer:
"In 1977, Coors was unavailable for sale east of Oklahoma. A 1974 article in Time magazine explains why Coors was so sought after that someone could be willing to pay the Bandit such a high price to transport it. Coors Banquet Beer enjoyed a brief renaissance as certain people sought it out for its lack of stabilizers and preservatives. The article explains that Vice President (at the time) Gerald Ford hid it in his luggage after a trip to Colorado in order to take it back to Washington. President Eisenhower had a steady supply airlifted to Washington by the Air Force. The article also mentions Frederick Amon, who smuggled it from Colorado to North Carolina and sold it for four times the retail price.The lack of additives and preservatives meant that Coors had the potential for spoiling in a week if it was not kept cold throughout its transportation and storage at its destination. This explains the 28 hour deadline."

WOW! A coors aficionado.
My grandparents lived in Oklahoma. I would assume it was not available east of there because my grandfather drank it all before it could go.
Magnus beats up on weak Indian GMs while falling asleep. That is arrogance!
hehehe, gonna need a whole LOTTA voodoo dolls. Start manufacturing!

Beer making began in your part of the world. Even if you don't drink it, you can appreciate the historical aspects of it.
Edit: Modern beer making. It is believed the Egyptians had essentially the same drink. But it disappeared and reappeared at or near Pakistan.
Okie.
I also personally think that chess originated in Pakistan, not in India.
There used to be a brewery in Pindi, the Murree brewery, not sure if it still brews though.
Dunno about that.

You may like to take the 'ugly' word back.
Actually Carlsen was lucky, if Vishy had found ...Nxe5 in game six I think then Anand would be the Chess King of the world and bathing once more in sweet Arunas eyes!
