Keith, now I know why you insisted the Polynesians were out of the picture. Lets see as I recall “ . . . a little more to the left, a little more, just a little more, there…” I think we are all onto you now.
Those guys? Man, all they wanted to do was tell me about how they invented the modern beer I was drinking! When I (and everybody should) know that modern beer is the sole invention of the American Annheiser Busch Corporation! It was all "grains" this and "starches converted to sugars" that, and "yeast pooping out alcohol" or some other blather. When I know it took A/B to add rice and more water to make the true modern beer we all love! Sheesh! I'm pretty sure the Polynesians didn't even have Clydesdales back then!
Joking, joking, joking, joking... I firmly believe any beverage produced by the Polynesians, ancient or otherwise, would taste far and away better than anything from A/B (I'm sure that statement will get me in trouble). No resemblance to any history of Clydesdales (or horses for that matter) should be implied. History of beer, the Budweiser name, pilsner style or ingredients, etc. - see previous statement about horses. No Polynesians, ancient or otherwise were harmed in the making of this post. However, a certain balding, fat, eurocentric guy did get a hangnail. Hopefully he'll survive the amputation with his dignity intact.
