Cliff we tried to use that very same excuse to visit the local drive-through. However my wife quickly reminded me that we don't own any cattle. Guess I'll have to drink all the beer I bought myself. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Ahh,

You need to spike your food with it too. I don't think the cows were drinking the beer.

You'll need some recipies I suppose?

I beleive the Japanese have a form of finishing beef in which the animal is fed beer. There is a name for it but can't recall it.

Beer is ok but this is how the whole stupid mad cow thing got started. In those feedlots they feed cattle everything. It's always best to buy from a reputable breeder or rancher that feeds his cattle out on good old hay and grain. Much better beef and better for you.
