Budweiser introduces projectile vomiting in a can

[charby]

Two bottles of Lambic beer and my head is buzzing.

[Declaration Day]

I'm gonna try that one Manedwolf, I'm sure the specialty store where I got my Mead has it. 

Mead comes from a store?!?!  I get mine from the basement

I used to homebrew a long time ago, when I had few bills and lots of spare time.  I may or may not have been under age. 
I'll go to great lengths to find truly good brews, so if you've got some of that mead to "give away" (you're a homebrewer so you know why I said that) I'd gladly "take some for free".  I live in Redford and pass through your town on my way up north frequently.

Oh, and try Third Coast Old Ale.

Budweiser has been projectiole vomiting in a can since it was made.  This is just taking it up a notch.

Since this has turned into a favorite non-crappy beer thread, anyone Michigan way should try Founder's Dirty Bastard.  Probably the best Scotch ale I have ever had.

Scotch ale is some potent s**t, in terms of flavor.  I'll add that to the list.

And I agree, Budweiser is carbonated urine at best.

I have and I agree that it is good!

Obviously you've never had Pearl Light or Milwaukee's Best.

Never heard of Pearl but Milwaukee's "Best" is foul 

Ever notice that any beer that has "best" or "premium" on the can / bottle is just the opposite?

There's also Dogfish Head Midas Touch, which is somewhere between a beer and mead or something. It's from an ancient Sumerian recipe. Trying to have several will put you on your ass pretty quick. Not sure what the alcohol content is, but it's over 15%, I know that.

Someone I know had two in a row, and discovered that their legs no longer functioned properly. 

Dogfish Head makes GREAT beer. Their 120 Minute IPA is around 21%ish which is up there. It tastes good too. Their old school barelywine is about 15% I think too. I think their old version of Worldwide stout was around 22-23%. They toned it down a few years back to around 18-19% though.They also recently had an imperial pilsner that I loved. Sam Adams makes one even stronger that's I think around 23-24% but it tastes more like a strange weak cognac than beer....and it doesn't taste that good overall anyways. I like to drink a lot of Imperial Stouts and other big beers that usually end up around the 10% range. Some of my other favorite breweries are Victory, Rogue, Allagash, and Stone. I've tried a few Bell's stuff that was good too but it's been a while and I can't get it here. I remember it being good though.

Back in the day.......
I would have a "red beer".V8 and whatever was left over
from the night before.Nurse 1 or 2 and your back in shape
for a straight beer.Only recommended for a hangover.

Speaking of mead..  Can someone describe Mead to me...  I have been wanting to try it.. but leary of getting something i won't enjoy... like the last 2 bottles of wine....

[Gewehr98]

Mead is dangerous stuff - made from fermented honey, it'll go down smooth, fast, and with little warning.  Think honey wine with 12.5% alcohol content.

(I still have several bottles of Doomsday Mead from my last trip to merry old England...)

Honey wine, yes. Made from fermented honey. One of humanity's oldest alcoholic beverages.

It's really easy to make, and also really easy to make badly. Some local stuff I get (Piscassic Pond) is wonderful. Chaucer's, the mass-market brand, is harsh swill that I don't like at all.

If done well, it can be complex and subtle, with a fragrant nose and honey finish. If done badly, it's harsh like cheap sake, with a nose of rubbing alcohol.

[Antibubba]

Aroma is like concentrated Long Island Sound. Brine and spice with a distince dead sea creature nuance.

After taking a sip, I died a little inside.

I had a hard time just forcing my self to take the first sip. After the first sip, I could not force myself to take another sip. I had to pour the rest out, this was one of the worst beers that I have ever tried.

I saw this beer and had to try it becasue, it looked so bad. It was so bad that I had to buy a couple of can to take back for the friends to try.
 

I've never had the misfortune of drinking a glass of fish blood, but I expect this is what it tastes like.

Flavor is so bad I can scarsely describe it. Pain. Fear. Agony. This is what cancer tastes like.

I was instantly reminded of the smell of beer and pizza vomit and it took a couple of gags to get the first few sips down, but as my palate broke down and figured out a lot of competing flavors, I found myself compelled to drink more. Kinda like sniffing at a dead skunk I guess. I would buy more, but only to make other people unwittingly suffer.

Yeah, my last batch may be closer to the latter than the former.  I wanted to experiment to sulfide-free mead, but then I had a baby and a move and a lot of other stuff going on, and it oxidized a bit in the carboy.  It is not fabulous.  I would love to give ya some for free, but I fear you will be disappointed.

I like those responses.  The stuff has a prominent location in my local store, so I guess someone is buying it.  I have yet to try it.  I've eaten clams.  No problem.  Tomato juice.  It's alright.  Budweiser.  Not my favorite, but far from the worst beer around.  Clam juice.  Clam juice?  WTF is that?  Did they just squeeze a variety of animals until juice came out, taste it, and determine what came from the clam to be superior?

[Fly320s]

You buncha wuss pansies.

Brad

Isn't that like a double negative?

What's also good to make is Cyser. It's apple honey wine. I've made some good batches of that with some spices in it like raisins, cinnamon and clove for the holidays. Dangerous stuff though. I prefer the dryer meads myself but the sweet ones are good sometimes too. Stay away from that Chaucers crap like Manedwolf said. Some of the other ones are bad too. Make sure you read the label because some stuff that says mead on the bottle isn't even really mead.

Don't go out and buy a bunch of honey (it usually costs quite a bit) thinking you're going to make some great stuff. It's easy to make but make sure you read up on it a bit before trying. It costs a bit to make and you need to let it age a while so if it's not good to drink you might be really let down. At the minimum you'll need a hydrometer, sanitizer, carboy w/ air lock (2 of those is better than one), the right kind of yeast (personal preference) and a place to ferment it with a stable temperature in the right zone. Some recipes say to boil it but I wouldn't because you'll lose a lot of the flavor. You can heat it up to 170 for a while to kill the nasties in it. I've made it without even heating it at all before and had no problems. Then you need bottles and a capper or some other way to store it and all that small misc crap to rack it from one carboy to another and blah blah.

Once I kegged some mead. That was interesting having a 5 gallon keg of that around.

Two negatives make a postive.  Algebra thing.

Brad

[280plus]

So they're positively wusses AND pansies? 

[RocketMan]

Schludwiller.   Anyone remember that one?

Clam juice.  Clam juice?  WTF is that?  Did they just squeeze a variety of animals until juice came out, taste it, and determine what came from the clam to be superior? 

Clam Nectar is popular among some folks in this neck of the woods.  It's the liquid left over from making a batch steamer clams.  A lot of people drink it after eating the steamers.  I do.
The clam juice in the bottle I've seen in the store looks like clam nectar.  Don't know what it tastes like as I've never tried it.

...and Keystone.....

....but you're right about Budweiser. And Miller.  And Coors, too. 

I like Blue Moon Belgan Pale Ale, myself.....

Blue Moon is Coors.

Seriously. It's their product, under a hidden name. Google it.

That's the new thing, the big beer-in-steel-vats companies making fake microbrews in steel vats and using deceptive labeling.

I buy local. Smuttynose, Red Hook, etc, or craft breweries that are unquestionably that.  Or a growler right from Martha's Exchange near work.

What else do you do on a Friday night?  Did that past-time suddenly become unpopular?    Sippin' on some badger juice right now.  Sorry, Tejon.
