If my sarcasm isn't easily figured out in my previous post I apologize. I'm joking of course I had a couple buds earlier today myself. Finished up the night with a 2012 bcbs.
I like to think what I type is being read in the tone in with which I'm saying it in my head as I get more inebriated. Which is a dumb assumption of course.
Cheers.
Whoa there, buddy! He's a Budweiser man. Don't ever accuse him of Bud Light!
Just because I still respect Budweiser-drinking Uncle Picklenose doesn't mean he'll respect a Bud Light drinker.

My grandfather used to bring home scrap from the steel mill to use on projects around the house. He reworked some water lines in the kitchen and after that the water tasted terrible. Come to find out that the lines were used cast iron natural gas lines that were impregnated with gas. After that we started to inspect the scrap that he brought home before use.
And as for the stories, I'm not sure if the stories "about" the beer are as funny as the stories about the "people drinking said beer".

My buddy is starting to get into beer. Let him my copy of Tasting Beer and he's starting to learn. Anyway, he asked if Miller Lite is hoppier because it's "triple hops brewed". It was very hard to suppress my laughter (he is new to this stuff to be fair) and I explained how it's a marketing gimmick.

That is the #2 question when people with little to no knowledge about beer ask me upon finding out I'm a proud beer nerd. The first one of course is the famous "frost brewed Coors Light."

Our local free daily newspaper ("Metro") has an article in it today with some suggestions for keeping the pounds off during holiday drinking. The section on beer cautions against additives included by some of the bigger brewers.
I guess that's why when you want a nice, dark stout, you have to use the expensive, high-quality hops like East Kent Goldings, but if you're making a light blonde pilsener, you can use the cheap, crappy hops like Saaz.

I'm perfectly aware that I might be wrong and if I am, please correct me. I searched around a little bit and couldn't find any evidence,
One of the big shots at one of the two largest macros here told us to be careful about the formation of carbon monoxide during fermentation. And this guy is an engineer, with a graduation in some sort of beer science.

The last thread on her beer article was interesting. Her article seemed like a lot of glittering generalities for senseationalistic journalism full of half truths & misleading statements.

Wow just wow
What was even more infuriating than Foodbabe's willful ignorance was the fact that she DELETED comments from professional brewers and from homebrewers like us pointing out the inaccuracies. Such bull***t.

Maybe someone should point out to her the ingredients in that glass of wine she is drinking at the bottom of the article. Do you think she realized that selective grape breeding is technically genetically modifying the grapes?

I was wondering when we would derail into her column.
One of the pro-brewers pointed out that glass off wine she has at the bottom had more sulfite's added intentionally than a beer ever produces on its own.
Did she ever write about what is put into wine that is bad for you?

Wine can be made commercially without sulfides and I think they're getting more popular. Some hippie was pitching it at a recent wine festival me and the wife went to.
Wasn't bad stuff either.

Yeah... artificial selection is not what's typically meant when talking about GMOs. Except by flaming pedants, obviously.

Someone should warn this woman about one of the deadliest, vilest stuff used in beer: dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO).

Thanks for sharing, includes commentary by our very own Revvy as well.

Yea - I went through the aggravation of this article once already. It definitely is the opposite of funny things about beer. Sigh.

I was under the impression that you can make it without sulfides, but that a certain amount is naturally produced in the fermentation process. It's probably not viable for the smaller producers to pull the natural sulfides out.

Good for her that she doesn't know any German. If she had read and understood the current German legislation for beer, she'd know that fining agents of any source are legal to use and, in top cropping beers, not only all kinds of sugar (corn sirup!) and coloring but even artificial sweeteners.
BTW, glutamate is a naturally occurring yeast product.
Why, thank you. I didn't know you cared.
Crossing breeds of anything uses the natural life processes,so they really aren't the same as GMO's. I used to do that with tropical fish...GMO fish?

And it's barely a step away from just sex. Should we call our children GMOs?
Ha. Yeah,it's just a bit more complicated than just smurfin off...I used a seperate tank to get them in the mood with fresh live food & a lil quiet time.

Pretty sure we select our mates and find a quiet place too
Unless you're REALLY adventurous!
My lil Escort tuner broke down in Port Huron once,& we gave the"sex on the beach" drink name it's true meaning once.
I still lol to myself about the guy that said bottle beers don't give good head. I beg to differ...

Censoring? So she really gets journalism.
I'm working from home, and I actually just LOL'ed at this comment. That's funny right there I don't care who you are.
Isn't it ironic that halfway through this I have learned more about beer than reading the informational threads?
Wife says she will only drink a beer that is light and has no hops. I hand her my first non-kit based beer with an estimated 32IBU (4lb LME/2.5g beer batch):
"Not bad, I like that"
At a restaurant with a Shiner Wild Hare:
"Ooh I like that"
What happened to no hops?
