Because we're lazy, and we want our beer now, we dont' want to have to search for a bottle opener. Americans are constantly searching for the easiest, quickest way to do everything.

Why are there not more beer bottles with twist off caps?

Most mass-market beers, like those made by Anheuser-Busch, Coors, and Miller have twist-off caps you can open with your hands, but craft brews tend to have pry-offs that require a bottle opener. Pry-off capping equipment is slightly less costly than twist-off equipment, which is a factor for some small breweries. But many craft brewers choose pry-off caps not for the savings but because they believe those caps provide a better seal against oxygen. "Oxygen is one of beer's greatest enemies; it causes beer to become stale," said Garrett Oliver, brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, which uses pry-offs. It's difficult to say, however, how much of a safeguard pry-off caps provide. Steve Harrison, vice president of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, says that his R&D department has studied the oxygen barriers on twist-off and pry-off caps for a dozen years. In those tests, they found a slight difference, but not enough to have a significant effect on the beer. (Sierra did, however, recently switch from twist-offs to pry-offs. The reason the brewery began using a new bottle-cap lining material was that provides a much better oxygen barrier but is too stiff to work with twist-offs.) Maybe people just think pry-offs are more legitimate. The Brewers Association, a trade organization for craft brewers, estimates that 80 to 85 percent of its members use pry-off caps on their beer bottles. This reinforces the idea among craft-beer drinkers that only good beers use pry-offs. Admits Oliver, "Twist-offs have a cheaper image." Another good reason for the pry-off is the feel of the mouth of the bottle on the lips of the drinker. The little ridges on the mouth of a bottle with a twist off cap feel unpleasant compared to the smooth glass of a bottle with a pry-off cap. When Pete's Brewing Company switched to pry off caps about 6 years ago, this was the primary reason their marketing department gave for the switch.

How can pilsner beers with their hoppy bitter taste be lagers which by definition are beers made with relatively few hops?

Lagers are beers using a bottom fermenting yeast which works at a lower temp than Ale yeast. The lower temp takes longer to work so they are "lagerd" [German for "stored"] Lagering makes them smoother but has nothing to do with the amount of hops they contain. FYI: The only Pilsners with few hops are the so called American pilsners made by the big boys [AB, Miller, Coors, etc.] these are actually American Style Lagers which are falsely called Pilsners.


Do caribou live in the ice caps?

No. Caribou live on the tundra, not the ice caps. There is no vegetation that caribou can eat on ice-caps, thus they are only able to live on the tundra.


Cant have beer made with potatoes or anything to do with them eg Dextrose which beers would be ok for me?

Most German beers conformant to the Rheinheitsgebot or the Biergesetz will avoid starch stretchers such as potatoes, rice, millet, dextrose or woodshavings. You are likely to find that the overwhelming majority of Czech and Belgian origin beers also use only traditional ingredients. Check the label, find a beer you like, stick with it (and its near relatives). If I were you I would start with Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen and Czech Budweiser (which is a different story from the American copy), then maybe develop into Belgian Abbey beers from there.
