You are what you eat (Beer related)
« on: February 21, 2008, 07:22:33 PM »
..or in my case, what I drink.



This beer is me. I have become it. And I'm damned proud of me. I am man enough to admit that I, Brian, am an arrogant bastard.

The text on the back of the bottle tells the story:

This is an aggressive beer. You probably won't like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We wouild suggest that you stick to safer, more familiar territory--maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you its made in a little brewery, or one that implies their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appearl. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better.  Perhaps you're mouthing your words as you read this.

A fine product from a fine brewery in San Diego, CA.  It is me.  I shall consume this 7.2% alcohol content 22 oz. bottle of beer, and I may even open another when I get into our spa tonight. Either way, I'm an arrogant bastard, and proud of it.

Peace.


P.S. the sign in the background (I know its bugging you) says "Bald headed parking only".  I wish it said "Bald headed parking for arrogant bastards only" ;)

I try to, trust me. I attend the annual Museum of Flight Hops and Props beer tasting event every year since inception. I've tried over 300 microbrews from North America, yet my taste buds come back to Arrogant Bastard for my #1 spot favorite. Perhaps its the name, or the bold taste.  One thing is certain....I'll have another, and I am a beer snob. Miller, Coors, Pabst, Bud can kiss my lilly white arse. :aok

This one has a catchy name and a very stout flavor that is something to die for. It is a deep brown ale that rips your taste buds out of your mouth and tells them "You're not worthy of this beer, punk!"

We have a Top Foods grocery store up in Lake Tapps that has about 200 different types of microbrews in 22 oz bottles or bigger, from North America to Germany flavors. Most excellent! :aok

I've had it. Best served at about 55-60 degrees if I remember correctly.


If you make a trip North in April, I'd be glad to drive you and the Missus to the April 5th Hops and Props event. :aok

OK, so the Con this year I expect you to be there with several samples.  I'll even kick in a few bucks if it will help (I'm serious, I never joke about beer,  well almost never)

Hmmm...well, I have 4 weeks vacation this year...1 week fishing with dear old Dad in Northern Minn for 1 week, 1 week fishing in Eastern WA for Bass and Walleye, 1 week at Football camp on Whidbey Island as a counselor, and 1 week in Disney World in December.  

The con sounds nice, but I pretty much have to book plans out 2 years in advance.  If you are certain you'll be there, get me your name in advance and I'll be sure that the hotel you're staying at has a 6 pack of Bastard waiting for you in the room upon your arrival, compliments of Ripsnort. :) :aok

Oh please Iron...after all these years, looking up to you like and Idol of the gifted ages...don't tell me you're drinking Coors. Lie to me you bastard.  I don't want the image of an AH Icon wasted with an image of you burned in my brain holding onto a piss beer. :)

Well, if I were truly concerned about what others thought of me I would drink Coors Light, or maybe a wine spritzer, or I wouldn't drink at all. Since I really am an arrogant bastard I drink what I like and I'm kinda hooked on Tanqueray and tonic as of late.

If you must drink, drink responsibly, those are more than mere words



What responsible beer drinkers drink...
