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 |

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.. On Mar 4, 8:37 pm, Tom Sherman wrote: Does barley wine qualify as beer?

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 |

Does barley wine qualify as beer? Finest kind in my book. I'm not sure technically, but any beer review site will include it. The brewers often call it beer. It's in the beer section at my local bottle shop and my local supermarkets. It's a beer to me! I will have to give the recommended beverages a try. Cool. 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". |

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 will have to give the recommended beverages a try. 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. Nay, drink only water, the true nectar of the Gods! Regards, Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
