I Dare You To Brew With This...

Anyone interested in a can of pre-aged malt extract?

I bet anything made with this stuff would end up only slightly more palatable than prison hooch.

I think that beats my Quarts of Chaos that used six-year old pre-hopped extracts!

I'm a little thrown by the swastica... is this for making neo-Nazi booze?

It's backwards though, I wonder why

The swastika in various forms was a good luck sign for lots of different cultures for thousands of years. Until some short little jack*** with an inferiority complex ruined it.

Yeah, I just did a little bit of googling and found some other information on the "backwards" swastica, its prominance in Thailand and Japan, etc. Seems that it may indicate nothing worse than the fact that all of the ingredients are vegan.

Hey, whatdoyouknow... I learnt something tonight!

Yes, it is backwards and therefore, NOT a Nazi symbol.

It is, among other religions such as some Native American nations, a Buddhist symbol.

When people don't know the difference between the two it shows their ignorance of other cultures...

You'd better hurry up and drink your beer before you learn anything else. One thing a night is plenty

Damn vegans gotta go and ruin it for the rest of us! Better throw some bacon in that malt to freshen it up a bit.

it might be cool to buy as collectors item, though.

I am pretty sure that if you managed to somehow make a concoction that combined the best of beer and bacon you'd make a lot of people very happy.

Serve in in the cleavage of a beautiful woman and you'd be elected Evil Overlord of the Universe the next day.

So thats were our "short little jack*** with an inferiority complex" (nicely summed up alemonkey!) went wrong!

Must have been tricky for the rest of the German Guys trying to understand his Austrian accent.

"NO! I said more Breasts, Bacon and Beer!!! NOT annex Poland!!!"....

Actually i'm more shocked at how the buyer has been ripped off! $15 (plus postage) for 2.1/5lb of LME???

But it's vintage. That makes it OK to charge astronomical prices, apparently.

Well, there's *some* historical evidence (not terribly strong evidence, but some) that Hitler wasn't exactly into "boobies," if you know what I mean...

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

So you were saying he was an ass-man? As Rodney Dangerfield would hear all the time, "Hey, you're an ass, man!"
