Strange Brew Part Deux
A couple years ago, Jay and I played a game I like to call "Strange Brew." You go to a beer store, find the weird beer section, and grab two beers that make you laugh. Tim and I actual went for a two round game and picked up two beers each.
The first round was Tim's "Doppel-Hirsch" which he picked because it had a deer on the front and my Heuchmansteiner. Both are Bavarian beers with those fancy tops. I clearly won this round. Tim's beer tasted pretty gross at first, then mellowed out, and then came storming back with the aftertaste of death. He was pretty sure it had a deer on the front because it was made from deer poo. Mine wasn't great, but it wasn't nearly as bad as Tim's, and I was too busy laughing at him to notice the taste of mine.
Round two was much tamer, and luckily for Tim, his beer had a very simple label. There wasn't even a hint of deer poo. He went with the St. Peter's Golden Ale while I chose the Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale. Both were decent so we'll call this round a draw.
Give it a try sometime. I like to think of it as Russian roulette with beer. It's great fun to watch your friend gag on his disgusting beer and then realize that he spent $4 on it.
