Guess the beer.

[Orfy]

I thought this might be a interesting game.

Post the text from a label and see if others can guess the beer.
If it fails just use the thread to post a label text you like.

Here's the first.

This is not the lowest common denominator beer
This is an aggressive beer.
We do not merely aspire to proclaimed heady heights of conformity through neutrality and blandness.

It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate the depth, character and quality of this premium craft beer.

You probably don't even care that this rebellious little beer contains no preservatives or additives and uses only the finest fresh natural ingredients.

Just go back to drinking your mass marketed, bland, cheaply made watered down lager, and close the door behind you.

Any ideas?

Arrogant Bastard? It sounds like a Stone to me.

EDIT: I couldn't take the suspense and googled it. I knew it sounded familiar, but I was wrong about where from.

 

[philrose]

i think thats on a stone coaster

 

[dataz722]

I would guess Stone from the "Just go back to drinking your mass marketed, bland, cheaply made watered down lager, and close the door behind you."

 

[Orfy]

no and no.

 

[dataz722]

Coming from you, who knows what it could be.

 

[slowbie]

I like this game. I have a fun one that I'll post later tonight after I get home. I think mine will be easier to guess, though.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Is the 08 Vertical Epic?

 

[Orfy]

If you don't know then google but please don't give it away.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Flying Dog Raging Bitch? Ah crap yer a cheshy. Prolly don't get that there.

 

[IrregularPulse]

If you don't know then google but please don't give it away.

So we're not supposed to guess without google? What kind of game is that?

 

[Orfy]

Take a guess before you google!

 

[Orfy]

Is the 08 Vertical Epic?

Nope........

 

[Orfy]

Any one else got one to guess?

 

[dataz722]

Ok, I cheated. And yep, I would have NEVER gotten that.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Ok, I cheated. And yep, I would have NEVER gotten that.

Ditto, never heard of it.

 

[Orfy]

Here's another.

From the crucible of brewing comes the elixir of flavour: the four elements of Earth, air, fire and water summoned together a pale golden potion of red hues. ***** has a heady burst of fresh citrus aroma derived from three infusion of Styrian Goldings Hops.

This is better known in the USA and from the UK.

 

[Orfy]

Ditto, never heard of it.

If you are a hop head it's worth seeking out. I'm on my fourth.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Knew that one only by reputation. Still had to google it to be sure.

 

[slowbie]

Here's the one I wanted to post.

Thanks to our craft brewing process, when you take a swig of our [beer], it will taste smoky, robust, dark and bittersweet. Thanks to our environmental efforts, if you take a swig of Lake Erie, it won't taste smoky, robust, dark and bittersweet.

Any ideas?

Lagunitas IPA? I know this label and I would have guessed Arrogant Bastard first as well. But I've read this many times before.

 

[philmin9]

The smooth Pilsner with All-Natural Ingredients.

 

[Orfy]

Lagunitas IPA?

Nope.

Not from the UK or US

 

[Haputanlas]

This was driving me nuts. I had to peek and see what it is.

I know that I've had this beer before and I can confirm it through my beer wall. I don't remember if I liked it or not though.

However, It seems misleading because it feels almost like a ripoff of Stone.


Very good choice. It should throw most people off.

 

[philrose]

looked it up, woulda never guessed.

 

[MVKTR2]

My guess, just because they've been in the news, would be that it's brewed by BrewDog or their German counterpart/competitor (can't recall their name).

Does that narrow it down?

[beerjunky828]

So do we have to wait certain days for an answer?? I refuse to google this. When I read it I immediately thought of Stone.

 

[remilard]

The first one is a blatent rip off off the Arrogant Bastard text, verbatim for a dozen words or so in a couple of places. I wonder if that was done with or without permission.

 

[GoldMiner]

Steel Reserve?

You don't know, Stone may have ripped them off.
