"Chicago area man and son on quest to recreate Most Epic Beer Ever Made"
Chicago - A Chicago area man, Pappers_, and his son met with a fortunate accident a few months back when his son, who had been visiting Europe previously, read their thermometer in Celsius, rather than the ubiquitous Fahrenheit. Correcting this mistake caused a chain of adjustments that eventually created a beer so tasty the two men ended up hoarding the bottles from everyone else, including Pappers_ own Homebrew Club. As their supply of this life-altering brew dwindled the two set out to try and recreate the process and reclaim the happiness they found with that first batch.
"I just don't know what we did right!" a sobbing Pappers_ told this reporter. "We started out in Celsius, as before, but from then on everything was a blur!" Pappers_ blames their snafu not so much on the Celsius issue, but on the fact they were also sampling a high alcohol homebrewed bourbon porter made last year.
Knowing that retracing their steps is critical to recreating the events of the brewday, Pappers_ has planned an extended vacation in Europe in the hopes that this will eventually lead to being to duplicate the errors that led to the transformative brew. In the meantime, Pappers_ has sworn off all beer. "Average beer is just not enjoyable to me anymore." Pappers_ explains, "It's like drinking from a cesspool after drinking from the cup of God."
