For the record, can we at least agree that not everything God made tastes better without a dash of this and that from the hand of man? I’m agnostic on the issue of hormones, but my guess is that the kind of feed and the kind of cow have a lot more to do with how the cow tastes then whether it had hormones (never mind how it was prepared, how it was stored and the rest). God made grains and hops and all that. Man put it together to make beer and brown liquor. For my cocktail hour I would much prefer a Jamesons or a cold beer than a cup of barley. But that’s just me.
