I don't drink beer or even alcohol much anymore, maybe 2x a year. But I used to drink Amstel light in France. It was the only beer I ever liked.

(42,406 posts)If it doesn't say "Colombia" on the package label, it's from somewhere else. There are good, even great, coffee beans from other countries, but I'm still partial to the coffee from Colombia. (As long as I can afford it.) I've been stocking up on my favorites for the past couple of months.

(9,212 posts)On the jar it says: 100% pure coffee and Classic Roast... at the Folgers website it says they have a ground Arabica I think and it says Columbian on it so that one is 100% columbian. I am not sure about the one I drink it could be a mix of arabica and robusta from Africa and or elsewhere. I started drinking coffee again after 40 years of only tea, about 1-2 years ago, so I have forgotten what I may have known about it, but I posted this website on a post here a while back. 😁

This tariff shite can be schizo
FakeNoose
(42,406 posts)Too many people are PISSED OFF about this nonsense. The tariffs are nothing but TAXES on us, not on the foreign countries. We knew that and we told the MAGAs but they wouldn't listen to us. Now they know.
Plus Chump is tanking the economy, and the billionaires aren't happy about it.

Can't speak for the coffee, but there's lot of good American German style beer.
