not sure I even want to know and I'm afraid to google it
as per Wikipedia.

Castoreum /kæsˈtɔriəm/ is the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) and the European Beaver (Castor fiber). Within the zoological realm, castoreum is the yellowish secretion of the castor sac which is, in combination with the beaver's urine, used during scent marking of territory.[1][2] Both beaver genders possess a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands located in two cavities under the skin between the pelvis and the base of the tail.[3] The castor sacs are not true glands (endocrine or exocrine) on a cellular level, hence references to these structures as preputial glands or castor glands are misnomers.[4] Castor sacs are a type of scent gland.

Today, it is used as a tincture in some perfumes[5] and as a food additive.
 
SWMBO asked for a beer and said she wants the lighter one. I asked what she meant by it as my mixed fruit blonde is 7.5% and lighter bodied and my cherry wheat is 5%? and more full bodied.
Her response was "add water to the mixed fruit blonde". :eek:

I hope you put her in time out! my MIL drinks BL and CL on ice. otherwise it tastes too strong or "dark".

I thought that was the raspberry flavoring? Never mind. I see this was already covered. This thread is going through déjà vu.
I believe it was the anal gland for the raspberry. which is now the reason I had to give up on of my favorite hard candies.

It's all coming back to me now.

There's a regular at the place we go for bar trivia that does that. I don't know if he...

A) Can't drink a beer if it gets warmer than 35°.
B) Thinks his Bud Light doesn't taste watery enough already, or
C) Somehow thinks that the glass full of ice makes him drink slower when he's there for several hours.
 
At the company Christmas party recently. A coworker I'd had over for a few was talking with a skeptical "Bathtub Brew eh?" guy. I brought a case of Centennial Blonde to the party. The guy who had a few pints at my place the weekend before: "That's good beer. I mean if you don't like that beer you're an idiot or something!"

Huge hit, everybody loved it.

funny thing is my MIL thinks it's something special & unique. she kinda brags about it. "I like my beer on ice! " no, you like CL flavored ice water.

I'm pretty sure I've told this one here before, but I'll tell it again.
I worked with a guy in Wyoming that usually drank whatever light beer was closest, but he really did love many styles of beer. he and his wife were in Spearfish, SD for some reason and stopped in at Crow Peak. they both order the 11th Hour IPA. the 2 owners (at the time) used to work the floor quite a bit. the brewer of the 2 brought their beers out. my coworkers wife quickly slammed 1/2 of it and proceeded to fill the rest with Clamato. the brewer was all, "OMG!! What are you doing to my beer?!?" my coworker says, "She does that to every beer she drinks. I don't get it either."

What is even more scary, is that when trappers talk about beaver caster they mean the actual gland the but juice comes from! We use them dried and ground up to make lures for many different fur bearers.

I'm gonna guess it doesn't work for lady fur.
:pipe:


Billy,
it must work very well for both man fur and lady fur, It sells to perfume' and calogne makers for big money! LoL
 
Just last weekend my mother was telling me how barley upsets he stomach and she can't eat beef and barley soup, as she's drinking her miller light.
She also claims to be lactose intolerant but half the cheeses and things she claims give her trouble don't contain lactose, and every time I talk to her she has another story of how she accidentally ate butter or something and miraculously didn't have any reaction.
 
I was in the LHBS weighing out some hops when a somewhat older gentleman walks in.

Customer: Hi, I was hoping you could help me put together a recipe.
LHBS: Ok! What do you want to make?
Customer: Well, something a little on the dark side, but not too dark.
(I manage to not roll my eyes, even though I had my back to him)
LHBS: Ok. Umm, well what kind of beer do you like?
Customer: Uh... well I had some Dos Equis the other day. That was pretty good.
LHBS: ... I think I've got a Dos Equis clone recipe around here somewhere.
