I have an oid old bottle cap opener from Griesedieck Bros.brewery in St. Louis , a light lager. The brewery shipped a lot by train. In the Ault Haus in Ohio the thing to do for fun was to slip the water soaked lable off the bottle by hand and flip it to the celing. The celing got well covered over time. Funny how some things never get forgotten.

Do you want a lid on your coffee?
Red solo cups of suds on Amtrak on bad track are a bad idea. While beer does burn like hot coffee, arriving at your destination smelling like a frat house is not desirible.
The gyroscopic bar car may make draft beer is solo cups socially acceptable.

I recently had Guinness flavoured potato chips. Really! They were pretty good. I just can't figure out what beer to have with them.
Beer Flavored Potato Chips!
The fact that some products cost more then the package bothers me. I do have the option of refilling my growlers of beer and have considered installing my own keg system. I think that Amtraks Snack car would go to Red Solo Cups and a draft system that might be better,
Cornbelt beer is no longer an option. Sorry. Hope springs eternal.

There has been no early frost in the tall potato state. The solution to the potato chip crises is a superior substitute in good supply.
Popcorn!
Product density is not a great freight rate issue. Popcorn comes condensed. It transports in bulk for bagging. If a hopper car is lost for a few weeks crossing Chicago, spoilage is not as crucial as chips.
Pour the kernels into a pan of heated to liquid lard and popcorn expands light and fluffy. Apply salt and melted butter to taste.
With what one saves with popcorn versus chips, nothing foul must you sip. Budweiser be banished. Make way for Michelob.
tree68There was an episode on one of those food shows a while back concerning a burger place that does exactly that, and apparently hasn't changed said grease in years. They just keep adding as needed...
Unless I am mistaken, that would have been Dyer's (here in Memphis). Just google "Memphis burger grease" and look what pops up...
OvermodOn the other hand, one of the best ways to cook hamburgers is to immerse them in very hot grease. Flash-cooks them with most of the juice sealed inside, and most of the grease just drains off when you take the burgers out ...

An oldtimer once explained to me that if you wanted really flaky pie crusts, you need to use lard. I think the same would be true of french toast. The traditional English diner-ype breakfast included fried bread.

If it ain't fried, it ain't food!
Barley is malted in North America, but it seems the majority of malting is done in Germany, the Czech republic and Britain. I've been in smaller operations around Guelph, Ontario but they weren't large enough to supply any of the major breweries. Barley is grown here, malted there, shipped back and turned into beer here. And remember, what's good for Milo Minderbinder is good for America and everyone has a share!

railtrail "How do they get the chips into the aluminum cans? It seems like the opening in the top of the can would be too small for chips of any decent size." Beer Can Potato Chips I think U are on to something.

We cant malt grain here?
A large proportion of barley used for beer production is malted at the Weyermann plant in Bamberg, Germany

You like Black & Tan from Yuengling's? You are a gentleman of good taste! I'm not familiar with Black Douglas and Broughton, they sound English. Are they? As an aside, this weekend is Cask Days in Toronto- look it up on your googler. There'll be real ale from Britain and California and I sure could use some Sierra Nevada Torpedo on cask and that's a fact!
54light15 A really great inexpensive beer? Yuengling's!
If I may make a suggestion -- their Black & Tans are ambrosia! Almost as good as the New Amsterdam Black & Tans, which are right at the top of the list for me.
I'll also put in a plug here for Black Douglas, the official steam technologists' drink. (Broughton also does IPA, and probably does it quite well...)
Ballantines' IPA is coming back? That to me was one of the benchmarks of the American IPA style and for the price, you couldn't beat it! Sure, there's better beer around these days, but I sure have fond memories of it. A really great inexpensive beer? Yuengling's! Not that I want to turn a train column into one about beer but beer and trains go together like beer and hell, anything!

The most rewarding flavour in this man's world

54light15 I sure miss Ballantine's India Pale Ale, though.
You do know that in August they brought it back, trying to re-create the original formula.
I honestly don't know whether this was a New Coke sort of situation. I had only peripheral exposure to 'true' Ballantine before they changed the formula, and if memory serves it was kind of like the Laphroaig of brews -- 'it takes a verra determined laddie to get that stoof doon' ...
The 'revised standard version' has been available all these years (if you don't mind that its brewing has been outsourced to Miller 'and it shows' ... ;-} )
