Default 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.

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..

Better a lowracer than a highracer or upright for riding drunk. 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!

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!

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".

CHOH decreases water capacity, increased water capacity increases
energy output.

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.

Despite its name it is merely a very strong (read high alcohol
content) style of ale though ... not to be mistaken for a session beer
chugged down on a hot day.

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!
