Looking for new beers to try? Consider the "Rave" link at Rate Beer. It's a constantly-changing list of beers that have most recently received great user reviews. But a warning: when I first clicked on it yesterday, the beer at the top was an oatmeal stout (Terrapin Wake-n-Bake Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout). I don't know anything about that turtle beer, but the only oatmeal stout I've ever tried was one of the most gosh-awful concoctions crafted in Satan's barrel. * * * * * * * Fan of sin stocks? Be careful: some people think that shares in these coffee and beer companies are over-priced. * * * * * * * Pretty good slide show: The Most Ridiculous Beer Names Of All Time. A few of my favorites: Hoptimus Prime, Polygamy Porter, Blithering Idiot, Old Peculiar, and Face Plant.
