It wasn't until I got into my 40s, and started cutting out wine, that I really started to appreciate beer. I didn't even like beer, in fact, until quite recently. Now I am very fond of lagers and ales and try to sample new ones all the time, and I have recently fallen in love with this one: China's Tsingtao.Is it wrong to love a beer that is produced by a country with an appalling record of human rights violations? Probably. But it's a REALLY nice beer. And the beer-mad Germans, naturlich, did start up the brewery 100 years ago. So I will forgive myself for loving it so much. It's a light, lovely beer with a slightly herbal after taste -- my new favourite beer.

Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations — wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.
