31 Jan 07 - 05:48 AM (#1953306) Subject: RE: BS: BEER,BEER and More BEER From: jimlad9 I used to frequently frequent a nearby pub were the phrase 'The customer is always right' did not apply. A fellow drinker had the temerity to ask the barman to change his pint because the beer was 'cloudy'. The barman said "there is nowt wrong with that beer,its crystal clear". Then as an after thought he added " Its the glass,its filthy !" |

31 Jan 07 - 06:30 AM (#1953320) Subject: RE: BS: BEER,BEER and More BEER From: Scrump Well, Mr Fox, I've enjoyed pints of Dog's Bollocks, and other 'rudely-named' ales myself. I just think the names probably appeal to a limited market of 'hardcore' ale drinkers (like me and presumably you), and they may be alienating a lot of other people who might be otherwise interested in trying them. It just seems sometimes that the brewers of some ales are deliberately trying to stop people drinking their ales, which seems odd. To me the name doesn't matter if the ale tastes good. What's wrong with names like Bitter, Best Bitter, Mild, etc.? It just seems brewers are desperate to think or more and more daft names these days. I think I'm probably just being a Grumpy Old Man though! :-) |

01 Feb 07 - 09:57 AM (#1954551) Subject: RE: BS: BEER,BEER and More BEER From: Cluin I was watching "Daily Planet" on the Discovery Channel a few days ago and they reported on this study. Apparently they added a few drops of balsamic vinegar to a glass of beer then had several people try it and compare it with a glass of the same beer without vinegar. Those who knew which glass contained the added vinegar preferred the beer without it by a large majority. Those who didn't know which glass contained the added balsamic vinegar preferred the taste WITH it added by an almost opposite majority. The experiment was set to investigate the effect that foreknowledge of the added ingredient would have on taste preference. So last night I poured myself a glass of Keith's and added a few drops of balsamic vinegar. I found I did indeed like the taste of it in my beer. I don't know if it improved it or not, but it did make a nice change and I'll probably do it again, especially with some of the blander tasting beers. My suggestion: try it yourself and see if you don't like it. p.s. I think it might actually have had a beneficial effect on that slightly bloated feeling you get after a beer or two as well. |

01 Feb 07 - 10:01 AM (#1954556) Subject: RE: BS: BEER,BEER and More BEER From: Scrump What a long link ;-) A small amount of acidity from the vinegar might well be pleasant in a bland beer as you say. It would have a similar effect to adding lime juice to lager or drinking Mexican beer with a slice of lemon. I might well try it sometime... |
