Beer And Beer Drinking

theres a warrant out for your arrest on a charge of indecent exposure

interesting stats there on the local slaithwaite crimes, i didn't know about that.

its literally impossible to have a 'nice' time in a pub. you will have a traumatic time that will leave bad scars.

The article I referenced was actually the wrong one (sorry!). I meant to link to an article from the Edm0nton Journal (which I couldn't find) that mentions the same statistics, but doesn't end up feeding right back into the hands of the C0nservative Party of Alberta. The Journal article cites another upstart Calgary brewer, Mountain Crest, who doesn't appear to be benefitting from these "tax breaks." Like the Sun article, the Journal reminds readers of Kle1n's friendship with B1g R0ck boss Ed McNa1ly, but in the Journal it is not glossed over. The Journal also reminds readers that Kle1n's daughter is a high-ranking executive at B1g R0ck.

I'm quite certain that Alley Kat, an Edmonton-based brewer, has been seeing none of these benefits. Alley Kat, "tax breaks" aside, has been hastening its own demise by refusing to produce and market an instantly recognizable brand for their lager. "Charlie Flint's Original Lager" sounds like you need a handlebar moustache to enjoy, and it's sold practically nowhere. It's not all bad branding, however, and their Aprikat -- an apricot lager, if you can believe it -- is an absolute coup, but unfortunately it's far too light and sweet to be appealing at any time other than the two months of the year where Albertan weather is warm.

The problem is that Edmonton elects practically NO Conservative members to the Legislature. You can see where this is going, right?

Well, here comes a hopeful gentleman. The full text from this article can be found, courtesy of the CBC, at http://edmonton.cbc.ca/regional/servlet/View?filename=ed-beer-20041230.


Well, I like the idea of of focussing on the lager first, which is what Albertans mainly drink. But Maverick Supreme? I might as well just stop shaving right now...


It's like a pale ale (in terms of flavour and body), but with a more golden tint. And as I mentioned before, it's highly, highly carbonated. The hangovers are horrific, and the smell of lemon juice on my hands in the morning is enough to make me throw up.


Yes.

old skool dissensus

i still cant even walk properly from the time i went pub in august.

don't understand this, how do you get from enjoying delicious bottles of pale ale brewed up by dionysus himself, to drinking pints of flat warm piss at 3.6%

IPA is mostly fine i think, though ive had loads that are dangerously shit

But- when you start getting into stuff like saisons and sours then you're getting too close to the real anorak gear for me. Or the posh stouts- they are one step removed from getting a bottle of spitfire out and reading the real ale guide

I stand by my position

 

[luka]

theres something to be said for beers of 8% and upwards

Ice cold = taste

Who is ready for a beautiful winter special? Introducing...Brazen Raisin - A big, dark, fruit bowl of a beer, with flavours of raisins, molasses and a balancing apricot tang.

Autechre beer, basically.

Anyway, I'll be over here listening to the NTS Sessions and drinking Cantillon Gueuze.

This is like how Jordan Peterson put himself in a fugue state for like three months by drinking a pint of cider.

Draught 7.30

is it something to do with wanting a beer, rather than wine or spirit, basically something with fizz, but that you don't need to mix, but which is stronger, so you don't need a slash as bad and ca eg enjoy at a concert or something?

i've just had my lunch (chicken kebabs and chappati) and gonna treat myself to a 330ml bierra moretti. will probably also have a fag after.

like the french do. a single small beer over lunch, what's the issue.

Bloody hell, Caligula, do you want a couple of roasted dormice to go with that?!

 

[catalog]

i was so excited to be doing it, i went a bit quick on the beer, didn't give myself a break from the food, and now feel a bit bloated.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I suggest having one of your proconsuls crucified on spurious sedition charges. You'll feel better in no time.

as it happens i've got one of my proconsuls sat next to me but all he's interested in doing is licking his dick and scratching his head with his hind leg
