ITT, Squiddy reviews beer.

[Doktor Howl]

Squid, dare I ask if the kids are insured?

Oh HE has insurance, yeah.
I'd go broke and toothless before he went without anything.

Kinda figured.  You seem like the ferocious mom type.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

I'm only gettin the one so I can't make a new one of I screw this one up or break it

He's my reason for living.

Yeah.  

I know how you feel.  

My kids are the only reason I keep this job and stay in this state.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Pretty good. Not much else to say.



Lobster lovers? Really? It was amusing, but on the sweet side for my tastes. Full-bodied.



This was some good shit. Medium-bodied, the coriander was a nice accent.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Hmm. Is it really a trippel? or is that just what they call it? corriander might indeed be an interesting touch to that.

i had a half liter of hoffbrau today cause i went out for german food.
it was a decent lager. went great with the food.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

It's really a trippel. Brewers around here (and Colorado) do not fuck around with names because it would piss off customers.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

sounds good.
i like trippels

[Suu]

I had Franziskaner Weissbier this weekend speaking of coriander. It was delicious. If you like that trippel Nigel you will probably like Leffe. It's an abbey beer that's pretty spiced. It's one of my faves.

Hmmm, if I see it I'll have to give it a whirl!

More beer parade:


Like most stouts; goes down easy, makes me fat.


Tasty; hoppy


Totally meh. Lacking in body, strangely insipid.

[Suu]

I've never had luck with organic beers.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I've noticed a trend myself. And organic wines are invariably awful.

[Suu]

In theory, all beer and wine should be organic. The mead brew that Richter and I did was pretty close because we used tea and lemon to balance the pH instead of store-bought tablets that do so and it was delicious. It shouldn't be gross. If anything the addition of chemicals should make it more disgusting imo.

THIS.  Also, I'm now reminded that I wanted to try my  hand at making brew this year.  Fuck yeah.

With beer and wine, it's not anything about the brewing process that makes it "organic". The "organic" label refers to how the grains or grapes used to make them were grown.

Which is why the predictable badness is that much more mystifying.
