The Glade 4.0

Oddly, when I tasted the Smithwick's, it had a stronger irony taste to it than what I had in Ireland. Still good, but they must have changed the formula a little when they imported it.

Oh and Yuengling Lager = Great tasting beer, with that nice doughy, yeasty aftertaste that I like. Not as pronounced as the Foster's, but there nonetheless.

For me drinking at all is mostly about the experience. Spend 4+ months deployed in the Arabian gulf, take an afternoon and go for a good 10 mile hash in 100 degree weather and (after a couple quarts of water first to hydrate) a tall glass of Fosters with 20+ old and new friends goes down mighty smooth.

Or take a tall glass of Killian's Red (which happened to be my first Killian's) after finals unwinding at The Moosehead with a few friends crammed in with a bunch of young local girls. /sigh smooth, clean, nice smell, nice flavor, and the beer was good too (har har).

Guiness Stout in the glass. A little thick, a little chewy, but I like it.


Budwiser can go die in a fire.


In general, I prefer my beer icy cold, that's about my only requirement.

Had a $28 bottle of Allagash Four Ale last night. Four malts, four hops, fermented four times.

Was delicious.

Heh, not like the Alanis Morissette irony. I mean irony as in tastes like the metal.


Gorse:

You are the second person who expressed H8 for Bud to me. What did this beer do that pissed so many people off?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

When you die, you are taken to purgatory. In purgatory there is a barrel with every drop of alcohol you ever spilled. You are lifted by your ankles and suspended above the barrel, slowly the winch drops you into the barrel until the top of your head hits the bottom of the barrel. You are left there for one hour, then winched out again.

Will you survive and go to heaven, or will you drown and spend eternity in hell?

There are two known ways to survive. Can you figure them out?

learn to drink lots of beer while hanging up side down and possibly with out air.

Never spill, or never drink.

Spill as little as humanly possible and learn to drink upside down are the correct answers.

I had a friend many years ago that worked for Paul Masson Vineyards as a forklift driver. A preventable loader malfunction he had been trained not to let happen cost him his job and the Vineyards over 20 pallets of wine.

He's going to Hell.

I believe the word you seek is "ferrous."

Ouch. I'd say more that his Paul Masson employers are going to hell. Mistakes happen, man, even if you've been trained. And, heck, it's just wine. Not like it's beer or whiskey, ya know?

What I want to know is, where are all the drunk Rodahn pictures taken during this experimental stage of your life.

Rodahn is actually an elected state representative in good standing with the legislature in his State. It would not be appropriate to publicly reveal his identity, especially since his wife and his mistress, the bartender serving him all of these beers, know each other slightly having been rival cheerleaders in high school. Americans, we're weird about sex you know.

See the fact that they all know and prob experiemented in high school cheer leading showers demand pictures

We could show you, but then we would have to nuke Australia from orbit, and its too nice a place for Americans to go on vacation to bother with that.

Ha! Haven't gotten sauced . . . yet. Takin' it one beer at a time

And Micheal, sometimes I wish I were a state elected official. I'd adopt an Austrian accent, hold up a broom and give a "time to clean house" cliched speech.

Anyway, this weekend = new round of beers to try.

Heineken Light Lager =

Very smooth overall taste, effervescent texture, very little aftertaste (I like the bready aftertaste, but no aftertaste is better than a crappy one). Only negative is that it has that weird ferrous upfront bite to it (I wonder what causes that).

Observation: I thought Heineken was a German beer, but it's actually Hollish.

Dutch.

I know, but Hollish is so fun to say

Not anymore Kaffis, Hollish has taken its place with the (especially the younger) people of the Netherlands as being more accurate than Dutch. It is commonly used in referring to the people and the language. It is as much a rejection of the similarity to Deutsch as it is recognition of Holland as being a major part of their national identity.

But my first thought was Dutch as well.

So Rodahn, you thought you were deliberately wrong, but you were wrong, you were right. Unfortunately, two wrongs do not make a right, so even though you were right, you're wrong.

Wrap your mind around that for awhile.
