RE: [Way, way OT] Beer (was Re: Questions...)

Since Indians have been using canoes for centuries, I'll stick with
canoes.  
I never claimed the joke originated here, but it was how I first heard
it.  
There's a justifiable pride in this region regarding the quality of our 
beer, and a desire NOT to have it associated with the big US macrosludge

breweries.

To bring this back on-topic, if that's possible at all, I'm considering
the 
possibility that on other planets, as we colonize them, we'll be finding
new 
edible plants (Sources of sugars to a brewer/distiller), with new
flavors, 
and thus new alchoholic beverages preferred by the populaces of those 
worldss.  Might make interesting background material for people to add.
