Stunningly beautiful labels!
I’m certain the beer is equal!
After 25 years of homebrewing, I ought to have learned how by now!
Thanks for the kind words,
Cheers,

Hmmm....no. Doesn't ring a bell. And I can't seem to figure out the punch line to that one. There is a punch line...right?
1. Dogfish head 90 minute IPA
2. Stone IPA
3. Long trail unfiltered IPA
4. Old Smutty Nose IPA
(I like IPA). ;-)
When I said “complain about the brand” I was referring to euro ale lager malt black mollassis with a fancy lable and impossible to pronounce name.
When not at work, I pretty much have a AB product close by at all times.
I’m just a BudLight/BuschLight kinda guy.
I guess it’s just what you’re used to. When I was younger, everyone drank domestic ultra-light lagers, and I thought I didn’t like beer, because it tasted so bitter to me.
Then, I discovered, it was just that there was something missing: a malty body. Once that’s added, the bitterness has something to balance it out.
That’s why some of us like “fancy” beers, and even brew them ourselves. In fact, I don’t even really like to drink store-bought beer much anymore; I prefer my homebrew.
Bartenders tell me about this mysterious drink called ‘Youvehadenoughnow’ . Never seen it though .
Are some of those beers from Massachuasits ? I had some lovely beers from around there when I was over your place .
I always heard it was like making love in a rowboat, probably for the same reason. Something about being close to water, no?
A friend of mine has been musing about this brew for some time. I almost lost it when I saw your picture here. Needless to say, a copy has been sent for his amusement!
I like IPA, too. Will agree on the Dogfish Head, Stone, and Smutty IPAs, but not so much on the Long Trail. I used to love the NW IPAs when I lived there, but of course, cannot get them so easily anymore. I will tell you about the one I brought back to my buddies on my last visit: Southern Tier IPA (from Lakewood, NY) it was worthy of my hard-drinking friends!
The "Old Frothingslosh Brand" was developed' by a local morning radio host named Rege Cordic back in the 50s. The guy aired all kind of skits with fictional characters and did spoof advertisements. (Same kind of stuff everyone from Saturday Night Live to Limbaugh do now, but Cordic was probably the first.)
Cordic, BTW, was the the inspiration for a guy named Adrian Cronauer who interned at the station during his high school years. Cronauer went on to some sort of fame as the character played by Robin Williams in the film 'Good Morning Vietnam'.
All the characters and skits you saw in that movie were inspired by the stuff he (and I) heard every morning on Cordic's show back in the 50s. It was really funny stuff.
I’m from NH, not Mass! ARghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
(Long trail is brewed by hippies in Vermont, Dogfish is from Delaware, Stone comes from the West Coast, I believe Oregon, and Old Smutty Nose is brewed right here in the Live Free or Die State. )
Sorry, by ‘your place’I meant the US in general . Last time I visited New York, and found myself almost living in a couple of bars around West 14t St & 6th Ave.
I’m sure I had Dogfish , and a lethal , sweet one called Rattlesnake from Louisiana .
Any way , I’m planning to go over to NY again in July , so maybe I can sample one beer from each state !
