Yeah, there's at least 2 threads about it already.
New beer documentary airs Jan. 30th on Discovery. My part in it consisted of being the person who rolled my eyes a lot and explained why everyone else in it was full of s***.
The show is sponsored by Miller High Life. lol
So cheesy. Catering to the meat head bmc drinker. The narrator and the constant "BEER saved the world" ruins this for me. Cool to see Bamforth though. Is mosher in this?
Revvy said:In space noone can hear you burp......
WTF?!?!?!?!?! Space beer has to be flat?!?!
I'm sure there's been plenty of burping up in space. I think he's FOS. I'll have to ask my astronaut doctor buddy about this.
I've only just put it on (it's halftime on the pro-bowl) and I'm not impressed. But I'll have to watch the whole things.
People only drink 20 gallons a year???? Really? I drank nearly my entire hundred gallons a year myself....maybe 60?
This hog show is more entertaining.
Hahaha id have to agree. This show was pretty pathetic.
What was the other thing they said? Back in the middle ages that each person drank 90 liters a year. 6 times more than today. Huh? I must drink a lot.
Beer in those days was 1-2% abv at best. It was their equivalent of water. It was NOT the beer we drink today. That was perhaps the only thing the show got right. :cross:
WRONG...Only the 2nd or 3rd runnings beers, called "table" "kids" or "small" beers where 1-2% ABV. Most beers were higher than that. They had everything from barleywines to our "average" abv beers. They didn't sparge, but often brewed partigyles, and made multiple beers from the same grain.
I hope you're pulling my leg.
Kinda presumptuous, no? References please. And don't tell me "Blank Expert Said So". Everyone is an expert in their own mind.
How did they crush the barley? Stone mills before they knew beer was beer? How did they measure ABV without hydrometers or some other modern piece of equipment? Floating weighted straw husks? How could modern man possibly even know what ABV they produced considering it would have evaporated thousands of years ago?
I respect what you say because clearly you are a man who knows his stuff, but I am a scientist by nature and I like facts.
I admit that I've not read them. So please name the best one worth reading sir.
