“When taste buds rebel and stomachs upchuck you know your palette is stuck on YUCK.”

Written by Ye Olde Scribe

Grab the little critter and squeezzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeee the essence into your glass. Make sure you get both barrels. Ah, SKUNK BEER! If that’s your desire grab your heine and lick it dry!

Anything related to disco is tainted by mere location.

Corn… DMS. Weak body. A slightly sour sense. Weak urine color. What’s to complain about?

EVERYTHING.

Brining awakens flavors in turkey, and allows spices to penetrate the fleshy parts of the bird. As an old-fashioned Thanksgiving tradition, brining the bird in cranberry and beer is a treat that will gain a memorable place in the halls of Holiday lore.

Without intent, I have collected well over 1,000 beer bottles since the early 70s. When something finally had to be done about the cheap paneling in this old modular, I had a choice. Tear down the walls while, oh, so carefully, replacing the often rotted 1X3s. Or: cover them with… The Bottle Collection.

The Professor will provide an occasional odd story: recent or from history, related to beer. This one is from http://ibnlive.in.com. The Professor hopes it was a beer at least worthy enough of losing ones job over.

Bogota: A dead man’s family had to wait for hours at a cemetery in Colombia, as the hearse driver went to have a few beers, leaving the vehicle carrying the corpse outside a motel.
