What Beer Are You TTing With?

“I made some Guinness ice cream once.

It SUCKED with a capital SUCK, LOL”

“like a guiness float or something”

“What'd you ruin a good Guinness for?”

“Thats alchol abuse Tilt, not to mention a waste of a perfectly fine beer.

I'm having a Sam Adams Summer Ale.”

“Live & Learn!

I pushed the envelope a little too far that 4th of July... but I was young, stupid and looking for cheap thrills.”

“Arrogant Bastard Ale...Hoppy as hell..7.2 percent alch...a true beer lovers drink!!!”

“I had this "Dirty Dick's ale" at a restaurant/bar. Couldn't repeat the name, just said I'll have another”

“Who did that comedy routine years ago.... "With a name like '10,000 Nuns and Orphans Eaten By Rats' it's got to be really great jam!"


Isn't that a lovely sentiment? <G>”

“Give me a good bourbon such as Woodford Reserve, Old Weller, Knob Creek, or one of the other quality KY bourbons over beer.

BTW this does not include rotgut such as Jack Daniels...it is Tennesse whiskey made using bourbon style production. Federal law prohibits any other whiskey from being called "bourbon" unless it is produced it the state of Kentucky using charred white oak barrels.

As far as Tennesse whiskey goes, George Dickel beats Jack black hands down in my book.”

“This early in the morning, sticks?

I just want some coffee.”

“I'm not much of a whiskey person. Italian roast does it now for me too.”

“No beer for me, not for awhile anyway. I lost enough weight on the first 150 miles of my SHT trip that my jeans just sort of hang around my hips. It's a long ago feeling and, wanting to enjoy it for awhile, I gave all my beer (it was crap anyway) to my next door neighbor. Back on the trail Monday to do the last 50 (class reunion tonight).”

“the corona I had last night didn't really taste that great. Back to the wine for me. Any tried a good low carb beer?”

“I haven't had mass produced low carb anything that tasted good...mother nature is the only one that can do that.

I love chocolate and tried the Hershey's 1 carb bar, I threw it away after the first bite.”

“Corona and 1 carb chocolate bars.... <GAK!> LOL”

“I drank 4 beers last night and they really did a number on my head for this morning...3 Sierra Nevada Pale Ales and a Jug of Mud from Mississippi.

If I'd've only drank some water or ate something prior to bed I wouldn't have felt half this bad.”

“I've stuck with dark chocolate, the regular stuff in small amts. Couple of squares instead of an entire bar.

Back to wine for me. Gamay Beaujelais is now my "beer"”

“Watch out for that Gamey Beaujolais...”

“Had a great excuse for a couple of margaritas with salt, so I took it. The original sports drink. ;)”

“Drinking a nice cold Saranac October Fest Lager.

Mmmmmmmm”

“Just tried Lawson Creek Vanilla Cream Stout. (I'm a vanilla head) Plenty of stout, not enough vanilla. Pass this up unless your into a strong hops flavor. Back to Miller Lite for me.”

“Shiner Bock,Lone Star and Lone Star Light”

“Nothing. I'm at work.”

“Abita Amber. Muuuuum Good!”

“Vanilla isn't even a real flavor, LOL

"Give me Chocolate, or give me Death!"”

“I will be drinking some Corona's tonight when I get home.”

“I heard adding lime to beer was done originally to get rid of the metallic taste from cans.



(Beamish Stout don't need no steeeenking lime! [VBG])”

“Abita Amber, my fav!

Currently have a Samuel Adams Boston Lager by my 'puter.

Had my first Abita Amber at Madinsonville's Wooden Boat Fest a few years ago! You ever go?

Abita is pretty well stocked here in S. MS.”

“Chocolate flavored beer. You'd make a killing with the ladies.”

“Steamboat Anchor Liberty Ale”

“I'm having an Amstel Light to help get me through tonight's homework.”

“Mmm...Magic Hat #9 -- a little piece of Paradise Vermont here in NJ...”

shiner all the way”

“Anybody ever try chili beer? Beer with a chili pepper stuffed inside. If you thought beer farts were bad before . . .”

“I have been to the Wooden Boat fest. I love Madisonville! I would live there but work in Ascension Parish which is about a 75 minute drive. I live on the Amite River in Port Vincent. My home town is Maurepas on the western shore of Lake Maurepas. Maybe we can tilt a few Abitas in Madisonville some time. I fish at a friends camp in Bay St. Louis occasionally that must be close to your home.”

“mmm yuengling lager”

“Aspen Edge, low carb. Not bad if you drink enough of them. I'm on #7. Go Yankees!!”

“Low carb does not mean low-cal. Alcohol itself is highly caloric, then add all the malt used to ferment beer. Low carb sounds all good, but add the facts together and it's evident that Iraq was palnning on creating weapons of mass destruction once UN sanctions were to be lifted.

btw - How'd I do tonight?”

“Alcohol has 7 cals per gram, but thanks for the heads up Mr. Bush.”

“Once again, your just dead wrong on the facts.

Malt is not used to ferment the beer. Yeast is what causes fermentation to occur. Malt, along with other grains is the material that ferments and its inherent sugars are converted to alchohol.

Thank you, that is all.

;)”

“You Go Roam!! oh and BTW where's your chainsaw?”

“Oh but you TOO are wrong...That is if I may be as technical as you.

Beer is not fermented...it is the WORT, the cooked mixture of water, malt and/or malted grains and hops, that when cooled and fermented by yeast, turns into the potable potent, beer.

I used "malt" in the above example because it is the original caloric ingredient to the fermentation process. And not all malt sugars are converted to alcohol, inturn leaving a sickning sweet alcoholic mixture, and that is why the bitter-tasting hops are added, to counter-balance and buffer the sweetness into a "balanced" taste of not too sweet and not too bitter. Of course, a well-balanced beer is ideal, but there is a wide spectrum of sweet to bitter beers having the well-balanced beers somewhere in between.

Thank you, that is all.

;)”

“You are absoulutely right, I stand corrected.

Beer is the result of the fermentation process as you so clearly described above.

I must admit that I was suprised to see you apparantly mistate the facts, given your wealth of experience with alcohol (and other substances) in your younger years. I'm glad to see that you really do seem to have full command of the facts and were only generalizing in the original comments.

Thank you and God Bless America.

Roam A.”

“i was TTing with pretty much every alcohol on the shelf last night. except i wasn't on TT, i was downtown.”

“dance on any table tops Scorchy?

If so - are there any pics?”

“Chocolate Stout has been done before, though not commercially, perhaps. The variant I tried was homebrewed.

Perty Good!”

“Young's Double Chocolate Stout is yumbalicious. I've even had a Rogue Chocolate Stout which is quite dark and opaque, thick and tasty.

Warblers are cool, but I didn't know they drank beer. 8P

“I have tried that one, Buddur. Oh, how I wish I could find more of that around here. That Double Chocolate Stout was my most favorite beer I have ever drank in my life.”

“Hey, what's this about well-balanced beer? Sometimes a person wants a malty sweet ale, like when they are celebrating the Jayhawks victory over K-State. In this case, you might go for a McEwan's Scotch Ale. Double yumbilicious and has a taste of scotch.
However, sometimes a man wants to go all out for the bitter hops, and chooses a Hazed and Infused. The range between these two is vast, but don't think that you have to drink "well-balanced" to be a connesieur.
Glad to see GW is well-versed on his fermentation process, though.”

“I don't know how it's brewed and it ain't got chocolate in it. I'm talking Long Trail Ale - Blackbeary Wheat variety. Since it's called ale, I don't think it's beer but I figure it's close enough.”
