MILLER FORTUNE BEER....undistilled

[L1truckie]

....... Only the choicest hops were selected. Seriously - only 3 hop cones made the cut for the last batch. Those hop cones were also undistilled.

So THATS where Millers "Triple Hops Brewed" comes from!!!

Oh no! No no.


Miller makes it's fermenters watch a documentary on hops 3 times a day. No actual hops go into the beer.

Well actually... Each keg is rolled off 3 small ledges. The height of the drop is calculated to be just large enough to cause the keg to bounce (or "hop") exactly one time. You are absolutely right that no actual hops are used typically, though. Their standards at Miller are so high that the hops rarely pass QC.

SO! how do they produce that undistilled aftertaste? What were the words...Sparkly finish? Spicy?

Has anyone had one of these beers?

It seems counterintuitive, but they do it by distilling. You see, they actually distill the flavor and aroma compounds and recycle that part as water used for the "It's a Small World" ride at Disneyland. What remains that has not yet been distilled is green Miller FORTUNE. Because of their agreement with Disney, when they send water over, the good folks at DL provide water from their pond by the big castle. It is the local ducks that give the water its "smooth" and "spicy" quality. The biological processes by which the ducks contribute these trademark qualities would bore you, but the gist of it is: food goes in, spicy silky smooth goes out.

Edit: I forgot to address the sparkly quality - Tinkerbell Tinkle.

 

[roastquake]

well, the undistilling process produces glitter, that's where the sparkly finish comes from. and since undistilling occurs at such high temperatures (at least 10,000 degrees F) it makes some spicy esters

Sinks. Now furniture.

My kitchen is furnished with a sink, not yours? Hell, even a door handle is door furniture.

 

[Zuljin]

Has anyone had one of these beers?

Six of them. I did not get spicy.

Hmmm. Apparently it is marketed as an alternative drink for millennials who like to drink distilled spirits. It's just a poorly scripted catch phrase that does not apply to beer lovers.

Research is really really dull!!!

Research.....A witch! Burn him.....

I actually saw this commercial, for the first time, last night and laughed out loud thinking about all of the examples of ridiculousness in the post

Come on now, we're civilized here... Hang him!!

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I'd prefer to be burned please, if that's OK with everyone.

Yeah, research sucked all the fun out of this thread for me too. I deserve to die.

 

[boydster]

You can't believe everything you read, LGI. Some folks will say just about anything.

That reminds me of a Colbert quote...

"We go straight from the gut. That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. Now, I know some of you are going to say, "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book. Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that's how our nervous system works. We go straight from the gut. Right, sir? "

I remember that!!! So much great writing on that show, that I reckon I have a lot of it stored away in the part of my brain that is supposed to remember stuff. Wow, if only the brain was built in such a way that one were able to access memory on a more regular basis. Stupid brains.

Silly rabbit. You must first see if he floats, or, possibly, build a bridge out of him before declaring a witch.

In other news:

A moose once bit my sister.

I was at a restaurant last night. Told the waiter my fork was dirty...... Those guys are serious about customer service. The chef was a bit crazy. But he died.

Don't know why I just thought of that.

The chef dropped dead because a fork was dirty? That is customer service!





*EDIT* my opinion of you is shattered. You missed my slow ball monty python reference

Coulda hit that outta the park with ease....*

No, it is customer intervention. You will see his name in the papers soon. "Idiot stabs chef with fork while knives were readily available"

Chose not to swing. Too easy.

Cheezy swings both ways. You just can't stop him!

Is that true? I once rode an elephant.

Yes, Cheezy swings both ways.....But at least he doesn't **** elephants!

Not a dream. I think it was an Applebees.

Ha!

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Boydster. You really do need to tell us more about this chef you murdered over a dirty fork. You left it a bit ambiguous.

He didn't say that the chef "was killed", he said "He died"......not what a murderer would say.

trust me, I is a GENIUS.

"HE died" says "of natural causes".

You missed the Monty Python too? Disapointing.

 

[boydster]

I didn't murder him. At least, not directly. He was clearly disturbed, and also I think he had a thing for the restaurant owner. Anyway, we said something about the fork, one thing led to another, words were exchanged, and the chef took his own life. I really think he believed we were being unreasonable. The fork was dirty. Not filthy. Just a speck, really. Anyway, I blame our mental health system for missing that opportunity to help. The food there is great.

I went my own way with what I had in front of me because I swing that way. To accuse me of not knowing Monty is probably the biggest insult you can offer a Brit of my age with anything resembling a sense of humour.

You are dead to me.

Not dead in the sense of being no longer alive, more like dead in the sense of being slowly strangled, cut up into little cubes, and fed to a dog with bad table manners.

When I say dead, I don't mean in the heart stopped beating sense. I mean going back in a time machine, killing your grandma when she was six years old, and kicking your grandpa in the nutsacks with really pointy boot. In other words, never having existing dead. Technically, never having been alive kinda dead.

Visit the Kayak thread. I'm the ******* that posted a very abstract post with the Monty reference that everyone ignored or didn't get. I simply did it because............Oh! Mrs. Megaton's brain just exploded!
