Wha--? There are a staggering number of beers that are very good
indeed. Certainly the number is in the scores. Maybe you're talking
about the number of big-distrubution "American" beers at the local
7-11. Or something. At least here in SoCal, I can find exceptional
regional brews. Stuff by Lagunitas, Stone, Avery and many other great
breweries.

Oh, you're talking now about Green Flash IPA. I think it's really too
heavy on the hops, but it's like a go od cigar. I don't think cigars or
over-hopped beers are good--initially. Five to ten minutes later,
though, I do a 180 on the subject. In the same way the only really
discerning remarks I can make about a martini is in the first 10-15
minutes or so. After that all most every thing is GREAT!

Amen to that. The worst example I have ever seen is
http://www.billyconnolly.com. Set a stopwatch, go to that site, and see
how long it takes you to find Billy's next tour dates.

I love Flash for advertising. They make such peaceful blank areas on my
display.
