The Man Law ruling: "Don't fruit the beer."

$240 for that? I’ll buy Yuengling. Better beer, cheaper and still American owned. Boston Beer went woke.
Yuengling has a brewery tour of their brewery here in Tampa. At the end, free samples ..
Leftist causes!! Sam Adams must be rolling in his grave over that..
A friend and I tried a raspberry lembick at the beer fest on Young Circle in Hollywood Florida 20 odd years back.
We sipped our free sample, shuddered, spit it back in the Dixie
cups and looked for discarded cigar butts, dog droppings, anything to kill the taste!
It wasn’t a bad night except for that, free beer, free food samples, free bands.
Boston Beer is American owned.
So! Fortified beverage it is!
“So! Fortified beverage it is!”
Not fortified.
I toured Guinness in Dublin. It’s become more of a Disney type attraction with a brewery on the side. Quite fun.
Buy Yuengling.
True. The German purity law does not apply to US brewers, but even with that, a 28% alcohol beer is closer to a brandy or other fortified beverage than a beer. Nevertheless, it’s all about marketing and uniqueness, and don’t forget the money.
—”Don’t fruit the beer.”
That sounds serious!
T.G. Monday now and This was a sport bar discussion.
“Not fortified.” So you would call it...?
They fortify this years brew with last years brew to promote it as unique and having extreme alchol content. (Banned in 28 states!) Otherwise its a discussion about “blended beer “ which I suppose you could also call this but that just sounds funny. Maybe they should just distill it, but I am not certain what the Hops would do to the taste of whiskey?)
I can see Missouri from my back porch, so I sit on the edge of “Malt Beverage” land. Beer brewed with Rice as an Adjunct. In the popular mind it’s still called beer. (Boulevard Brewing here in KC is owned by InBev but does not use Rice.)
(TexasGator; Florida flag, Texan living FL? Sort of Blended!)
One, please. (At a time)
Yes the liver yells STOP one is more than some six packs.
The Sicker Quicker Liquor!
I had a stout that was 11% once. But that’s still less than half of this whatever-it-is.
