Beer And Beer Drinking

[catalog]

As luke has said, there's a line between hair metal and Brewing, and I would throw rugby league in too, so some of it is innocent. Magic rock probsbly OK. That's a Huddersfield one.

But as tea and slothrop said, blackened sun is not even trying to hide. And I'd say same to black iris. Just a bit odd to blacken something that is traditionally depicted as colourful/bright? What's that about?

The blackening, to me, is about sharpening. Equally it could be about saving money on printing, who knows. But paired with some of the titles, some of it is definitely fishy. Or just people living in their own worlds, who knows.

But the other weird thing is it's not an isolated phenomenon, there's a lot of examples.

interesting to me that americans use the term "nazi" when they have their own all-american version. i gues sthey call it "white supremacy"?

 

[luka]

evidence suggests I've had 3 perlas, one punk ipa, one augustinier of course one Schneider's and working on my 2nd kernel

what was the full tally in the end?

 

[yyaldrin]

do you drink from the bottle woops or pour it in a glass? do you have a drinking "style"?

 

[luka]

he never ever pours into a glass. his drinking style is 'drinking tortoise' incredibly slow and methodical but after about drink 6 or 7 he speeds up to normal pace.

 

[woops]

what was the full tally in the end?

followed the above with 1 rothaus 2 litovel premiums and 2 further kernels

i was saying yesterday i think you can be very proud of yourself. particularly given the circumstances (dreary day, no company to egg you on, indoors etc). and more than that i can tell you that all of dissensus is proud too.

woops what is your opinion on the popularisation of the hell style? like, o you drink the camden version?

 

[luka]

his opinion is the camden one gives you a headache. stick with the originators. also the english varients have a tendency to be too sweet.

i thought he would be snobby about it. i'm quite snobby myself about it, they are generally sub-par.

 

[luka]

yeah its not snobbery its just that they are a palpably inferior product

 

[luka]

if you want to prove your a man you should try and beat woopsies tally from yesterday starting now.
imagine how good youll feel if you manage it. plus you can lord it over him

One of the big IPA-forward breweries in California is Stone Brewery:

View attachment 15163

That one just looks more generically 'metal' than fascistic, per se.

 

[luka]

horrible beers though. cant stand them.

post your way through it too, bottle by bottle

I had one of theirs years ago (in California, as if happens) called Arrogant Bastard. Can't remember if it was actually good or I just liked it because of the name and the goofy label art, and because it's quite strong.

 

[luka]

might tate better before it gets shipped halfway across the world i guess.

 

[luka]

they were in the shops here long before most uk craft breweries opened.

I'm gonna try reign it in for next couple of weeks, more for money than anything else, I'm spending too much on beer. The deal I have with my wife is I can do what I want bug if I get drunk I have to do DIY next day and I'm sick of it now (spent all afternoon yest and this morning digging garden up to prepare for slabs)
