A Quote & A Beer – October 2018

After reading various tweets and social media posts about the low quality of some beer, I usually think, “boy, these professionals are lousy at picking beer” but then I do realize that there are some hurried or weird finished products out there. I was reminded of that when I saw this quote from Sean O’Casey….

“All the world’s a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.”

I am also partial to this quote, obviously because of the cool first name, but also due to his theatre work. For all the breweries out there, you need to bring your A game. If recipe 3.4 is just about there, head to 3.5 or 4.3 if needed. Or you need to make that beer to steal a theatre term, “preview”.

A Quote & A Beer – August 2017

There are too many great quotes out in the world to counter-act the crazy-ass tweets from SCROTUS. Time to highlight some wise words instead of breathlessly regurgitating nonsense and since this is a beer blog and not an anit-alt right blog, I will also suggest beers to pair with them. (Except for this first one of course)

“I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading:/ It vexes me to choose another guide.”
Emily Bronte

What kind of beer pairs with non-conformity? If I told you, well that would run counter to the advice from Bronte. But without giving a specific beer order to be followed, let me say this. Don’t order the IPA unless it is from a new brewery. Don’t order a barrel-aged bourbon stout: look to a pilsner. Find a hop that nobody is talking about, yet. Look over the whole tap list. If it comes down to it, order blindly. Call out a tap number and see what happens.
