Yes, I should have placed the quotes as you have. That's the way I meant it.

     I've been a beer snob for a long time.  I'm actually a wine judge -
     I'll be
     judging  the  Canadian Amateur Wine championships next month, but I
     really
     prefer beer.

     I  think you meant 'American "beer"' (a slight difference of quotes
     :-) ).
     Which  is  not  to  say  that  American's can't make good beer, but
     Budweiser isn't
     it!  And "what made Milwaukee famous" is a national disgrace.


   Yes,  I  should  have  placed the quotes as you have. That's the way I
   meant it.
