old beer...

Recommended Posts

When I worked in the Arctic, we placed our beer order once a year. The 2nd boat to come in the spring was the Sea-Lift in early June, and it carried most of the non-perishables for the site for the whole year, including beer.

So come late may, you were drinking 1 year old beer. It was mostly OK (as OK as Canadian, Blue and Bud can be) but you did not notice that it had changed taste as much as when you popped open the 1st fresh ones :)

I'm really not that classy; I just have a lot of friends who run/work at microbreweries. And there are days when it would be nice to trade the teetering stacks of bottle aged stuff in the closet with some plain ol' "drink anytime" beer.



Appreciate you trying to fit in with us low lifes ... :P:P:P

:D:D:D:D


Next time we visit you and Amy, we're bringing Natty Light! :ph34r:

I am so sorry.[:/]
I had no idea you had suffered like that.
I'll try to go easy on you from now on.;)

I can tell when I am serving a beer to someone who has never had bottle conditioned. More often than not I warn them about what they might find in the bottom of the bottle.
Some are shocked, some are pleased. I know at that moment who will be back at my bar and who will not. :)

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

Useless fact of the day - champagne is made via a similar method (secondary fermentation) but undergoes a clever step where they hold the bottle upside down, freeze the neck and remove the ice plug with all the sediment. Then they recap it before it loses its (new) carbonation.

Let see. For 2 years, I worked in the Arctic. That's right. The Arctic. And I worked there. In the Arctic.


Did I mention that I worked in the Arctic?
