What Are You Drinking?

"Blue Moon Brewing Company"

[Blu]

Picked up a Sampler of 24 Beers from the Blue Moon Brewing Company.

In it was the following Beers:
- Blue Moon (Always good on a nice day)
- Blue Moon Agave Nectar Ale
- Blue Moon Blackberry Tart Ale
- Rounder Pale Ale
- Short Straw Farmhouse Red Ale.

That last one, is what I'm drinking right now. Tastes absolutely amazing.

I could be wrong, but I thought you were from Michigan as well, so why mess around with Coors half ass attempt at fake craft brew when you have so many awesome real local options?

Hahaha, I totally am. For some reason, it's a beer I started drinking when I hadn't acquired the taste for beer. Don't get me wrong, I love me some craft brews and local brews. My favorite beer in the world is Keeweenaw Brewing Company's Pick Axe Blonde. But that red ale, is something fierce. Even if it's seasonal, it's still very drinkable for a spring day.

I'm drinking the most expensive beer I've ever brewed. I call it the Emergency IPA. 9 hop varieties, 90 minute boil, 9%. (the emergency services number in the UK is 999 for those that didn't know, hence the name). 15 hop additions over a 90 minute boil. Complete hop monster. Theoretical IBU of about 270~. The human palette can 'taste' bitterness of up to 200IBU. It's like having your tastebuds blown off by a hop-shotgun. Complete palette wrecker.

So it's like the Everclear of beer?

What the hell is Everclear?

I'm drinking another 999 right now in fact, it's a nice and warm bank holiday Monday and this is soooo refreshing straight from the fridge.

This is Everclear and it will ruin your taste for anything and everything. It's horrible.

Reminds me of a party I went to with a friend who was a law student at UNC. He poured a shot of everclear, lit it on fire, went to take the shot, and the glass shattered leaving a trail of fire, the scent of burnt hair, and a destroyed kitchen counter.

I've never touched the stuff, but everclear is still super popular with kids. But kids these days like snorting condoms and spitting them out, so I guess they are up for anything.

The real funny thing is that the same friend now works for the IRS.

Haha nice one JT. Everclear is 190-proof alcohol. Both it and the band are terrible. The "complete palette wrecker" made me think of it.

Just the number 1 ranked beer in the world on Beer Advocate and some Sega Genesis and some playoff hockey
