OT - Beer
A while back I read about a barley wine on this group. It inspired me
to try a couple, and I was hooked. New favorite fireside beverage. So, I only thought it fair/fitting that I mention my newest discovery here. Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot. I enjoyed it on tap over the weekend at the Pepperland Cafe in Berwick, ME. Great place, if you're even in the area go there. Seriously. Anyway, they had 2 barley wines on tap, Blithering Idiot and Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. I've had the bigfoot, and I like it, but I decided to try something new. I'm so glad I did. Not as malty/hoppy as the Bigfoot, but oh so good. Anyway, figured I'd throw it out there in case one of you comes across it and wonders. It's got a firm recommendation from my camp. Oh, and at 11% go easy, lest you become a blithering idiot. Dan |

Re: OT - Beer
Could be like the Hiney Wine in the green bottles.. But 11%!!.. Call it whatever you like, and call me a cab.. Could make a person prefer a tadpole over a lowracer... And for the record, blithering is not encouraged on ARBR-- It would confuse our fulltime blatherers..

Falls do not hurt that much when you start 30 cm or less from the ground. A go cart track, a tadpole and being drunk would be an excellent combination! -- Tom Sherman - Holstein-Friesland Bovinia The weather is here, wish you were beautiful |

If you get a chance post back with what you think. Have you had barley wines in the past? |

Heh... for the first time in my life I now want a trike. Not nearly bad enough to buy one, but it's a fun thought. I know where I can find a go-cart track I could sneak into in the wee hours of the morn. That'd be fun explaining to the cabby. "I just need you to take me and this trike to the go-cart track." "Of course I know it's 2am, do you think I'd be able to get this thing on there in the day?". "Why yes, I am drunk. I had 2 beers! That was an important part of this plan". "No, I'm not a lightweight. You drink six of these things and you'll become a blithering idiot". |

wrote: > > Does barley wine qualify as beer? > Barleywine is to wine what chicken-fried steak is to chicken. Yes, it's beer, but with an alcohol content similar to wine, hence the name. Some local food labeling laws cause it to be marketed as "barleywine-style beer" which leads to a misconception that it is not actually barleywine, when that's exactly what it is. Such laws are to prevent stupid people from thinking it's grape-based. |

I urge all and sundry to stay away from such beverages. If you partake, they will cause your feet to go numb. Then you will be as numb down below as you are top side.

No, but since I like wheat beer [1], it appears promising.

It is true that at the public school, most of his classmates were Muslim, but it was not a Muslim school. Next, you'll be telling me he's Jewish.

<sunsetss0003@REMOVETHISyahoo.com> may have said: >Does barley wine qualify as beer? This is locally variable. In some places, a fermented beverage whose ingredients do not include hops cannot be sold as beer; the same is often true for uncarbonated brews. "Malt liquor" may or may not be an effective synonym for "barley wine" in some places. The situation is at least as complicated as that of the varying definition of chocolate between Belgium and England. This may have changed, but at one time Cadbury milk chocolate contained too little cocoa solids to qualify as chocolate by the Belgian standards, but it reportedly contained just enough dairy content to theoretically be able to be called "cheese". The shifting definition of "Sterling silver" between different nations is another example of locality-dependent terminology. -- My email address is antispammed; pull WEEDS if replying via e-mail.
