Toured Budweiser brewery, came out changed

[BrotherGrim]

The "drink this and think of ____" trick can be done to find almost anything in any beer. This is why beer labels often have long descriptions about what you should taste and smell. This primer for your senses is powerful. It's also why genuine taste tests are blind.

And why my beers taste like gold.

Wow.... maybe that explains it... I was contemplating a good time with my girl, and took a sip of one of my homebrews and it tasted just like A$$. I dumped the bottle and figured it was an infection



LOL

Green apple you say?

Pretty cool to see the homebrew side of A&B.

I interviewed for A&B back in 2000 or so for a Database Admin position; they absolutely loved the fact that I was a homebrewer. They even split up the position in 2 to hire me, but I ended up passing on the job for $$$ reasons.

On an interesting side note, it was the first time where I had a beer at lunchtime during a job interview. You can easily imagine that I didn't order a Miller.

Thanks for the post, this (and the Jelly Belly factory) has been on my list of "to-do"s before leaving Davis.

At the Festival of Wood and Barrel-aged Beers in Chicago last year, there was a large MillerCoors showing. I was skeptical at first but was gladly proven way wrong. The brewers there are just as talented as anywhere else, maybe more so since they need to be so ridiculously consistent.
