"BITTER BEER FACE!"
Posted on 08/05/2021 2:07:35 PM PDT by Mariner
Not too long ago, legalized recreational marijuana threatened to crash the beer industry's party.
The former often "inspired" the latter, but a 2016 attempt by a Colorado brewery to bridge the divide with a CBD beer ran into regulatory trouble after its much-hyped debut.
Colorado brewers are venturing into cannabis beverages, in part as a diversification strategy.
And beer industry icons are joining marijuana companies as consultants, the most recent being Oskar Blues' founder Dale Katechis partnering with Veritas Fine Cannabis.

Their application to beer has been done for decades by home brewers...and likely for centuries by somebody.
Where you would add 1.5 ounces of Hallertau to five gallons of German lager, add an extra 15 grams of cannabis.
No, you cannot double it. And the beers should be drank sparingly. Certainly a 12 pack is not in the cards.
For the record, I don't use either.
But in my youth used to make such brew.
Why ruin a good lager?
Road to Idiocracy.
Watch the movie.
Bong water recycled.
“Why ruin a good lager? “
It doesn’t foul the taste in any way.
And I would not use either today.
“Bong water recycled.”
It’s imperceptible in both taste and aroma.
“Does this beer taste skunky to you?”
It’s imperceptible in both taste and aroma.
The German lager is still ruined by using it. Reinheitsgebot.
LOL, it was a joke on the “skunky weed” line of observations
That depend son the beer you choose. Some beer is just skunky.
“Reinheitsgebot.”
Absolutely.
That’s why you can’t call it a German Lager, like what SudWerk makes in Davis, CA. By far the BEST brewer in the USA.

So a sane man would call it California Special Lager.
The pot today smells like skunk. Back when I used to smoke it in the ‘70s, it smelled much different. And, for me anyway, pot and beer didn’t taste good together. Now I don’t do either.
” Some beer is just skunky.”
These American IPAs are closer to dog piss in aroma.
People who drink them have never tasted a good German lager.
When I was in college there were 2 factions: The pot smokers and the beer drinkers. Never the twain shall meet.
They have THC infused drinks here in the pot shops of California but none with alcohol. They do have at least one that, well, they don’t overtly call it a mixer but that’s sure as heck what it looks like. Not for me, but I know it’s available. I could only imagine what it would feel like to be drunk and stoned.
Pabst Blue Ribbon gives me heartburn from just one sip. I sometimes get a Modelo Especial or Coors but after a few they start to taste funky to me. Heineken or Stella for a plain beer though some say Heineken is too sweet at least I know I can put them away without getting sick. Dutch though not German. I like Fischer but it’s not widely available (French beer, like French Vodka who’da thunk it?). I never got into IPA beers myself, in any case I don’t really drink any alcohol for how it tastes. Sure I can enjoy a good wine and even a good beer but the taste is not the main purpose - for me anyway. Other people have their own reasons.
I drink lots of water though, everyday. I keep a sealed jug by the bed and a liter sized nozzle bottle on the nightstand. Refill it from the jug. Washable.
48 years ago I combined them the natural way. Drink the beer, smoke the pot.
In large quantities.
They seemed mutually supportive to me. :)
Maybe they will put the pilsen (mushrooms) back in the pilsner.
Interesting.
