Thread: Beer of the Day !

Gonna work my way through these ample bodied, nubile ladies tonight, I'll report back after each conquest...

Well the first one was a quickie. Nice. Sort of like a stout except it tastes nice. 5.6%, so not dangerous strong but still wife sending you to bed strong. Nice label. From the Clare valley, South Australia (just down the road); I thought it was German imported when I got it. Like the labels. Very nice.

The White Rabbit Dark Ale was nice. Again, a little 'stouty'; not that there's anything wrong with that. I myself am a little stouty these days. Nice. And if you drink a six pack of these 'round a fire, you can put on some psychedelic pop, such as The Brian Jonestown Massacre (my favorite band) you can go all trippy looking at the label very closely, which features a forest scene such as may be featured in a children's book. Five, no, 16 and a 1/2 points for presentation. 4.9% alcohol. What I call mid strength. Happy with that. Victorian beer (i.e. not cellared in Victorian times; from the state of Victoria, Australia.)
South Australians sort of have a problem with Victorians. They think they play better footy than we do. They play Aus Rules like we do. Queensland does a lot of that funny footy; with the scrums and putting your fingers up the other guy's date and stuff. Have you seen the size of those rugby guys though? They all seem to be mad gamblers on the pokies, and wanting a bit of biffo all the time. At least that's the gist I get from the media. Buts let's face it. Rupert and that other guy, and now that mining woman tell us everything we know; unless we seek it out and experience it ourselves. Like I was saying, the White Rabbit's a fine ale...The next review is fast approaching. Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale...Stay tuned...

Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale

Well. Firstly I'm a little perturbed by the lack of any sort of apostrophe whatso ever in 'Coopers'. Surely, it should be Coopers'. Being that fact it's a guy and his Son/s. When I tasted it I thought "Well, of course. Coopers is the best brewery in the world". It's South Australian, you see. STILL run by the family. I grew up on Coopers Sparking ale and Coopers Stout. The stout was the cause of me punching the door of my Valiant Charger. We'd been up on the roof of the house drinking, us flat mates. We were about 19. Now we were inside at the kitchen table 'embellishing' the buzz. An argument happened. Just from an idle comment. I pushed a large glass ashtray violently across the table to my twin brother and it crashed into his coffee cup and broke it. He'd been eating pickled cucumbers and drinking coffee. The coffee went everywhere of course. He got up from the table and left. 30 seconds later I got up to see where he went. He was in my bedroom throwing pickled cucumbers at my walls; splattering them everywhere. We tussled. Pushing each other. Then I hit him in the jaw with a right cross. It happens very rarely; but when it does it just does. he fell on his back and I stormed out; into the drive way, on to the road and punched the door of my Valiant Charger.

For some reason that incident made me feel more like a man than anything else ever...

I love IPAs. My most recent selection was Stone Pale Ale from Stone Brewing Company, North County, San Diego. It's my dream someday to brew my own IPAs that match my palette and share them with my friends. Alas, that's on the back burner for now.

Perhaps you might want to revive this thread on Home Brewing.
Namaste,
Morty -_-

That will be me; I have attached a few picks of the batch of mead that I brewed in March, it is still aging and will be sampling one on Thanksgiving Day. I know, not exactly beer but this was my baptism by fire on brewing. HOG
