Beer joke in a Beer thread!

What does a Pint of Guinness and a Catholic Priest have in common?

A: They both wear black with a white collar and if you come across a dodgy one you have to watch your arse.

Thanks to pox, I now have a place to share my beerventures with other newgrounders. I'm goin to try to share and review a new (to me) beer somewhat regularly. Let's give it a try shall we?

Tonight I'm gonna review a Red Hook winter ale, simply named Winter Hook(5.9% ABV). The reason I chose this beer is due to how relatively cheap it was, a lil over $7 for a sixer.
Paired with: homemade stroganoff

The Pour: The color is a dark amber with a wonderfully full tan head.

The Aroma: Hops definitely dominated the smell when I stuck my nose over the glass. It was backed with a somewhat smokey aroma.

The Taste: As the smell indicated, hops was surely the dominating taste, mixed in was a spicy caramel sort of flavor. The hops give this beer quite a bite and a lingering aftertaste.

Overall: When I got down to the bottom of the glass, the head had laced all the way to the top. Quite impressive. I quite enjoyed this beer. While it was rather bold in its flavors, it was still quite crisp. This is my first seasonal beer of the winter, and I must say that it fits quite perfectly. I felt like I should have been sitting next to a warm hearth while I was drinkin it.

Recommend?: While I'm sure this beer isn't going to fit everybody's taste, I would say that anyone wishing to broaden their palette give it a try this winter, especially if the price is right!

Black Label Supreme = Supreme
tastes like a load of shit, but gets you drunk

This belongs in the Clubs/Groups thread, donut?

Oh poppycock. I would never have seen it if it was there. The best thread ever belongs in General, no doubt.

211 anyone?

I am not a big fan of beer, but I do like harder alcohol.

Real men drink Super T...

Its made from bottled Clyde water and battery acid

I haven't tried any new beers for a while. I should probably hit up the liquor store tomorrow after work and get some new/interesting beers for the weekend.

Right now, since I'm in money saving mode, I'm drinking Lakeport Honey. Gross as all hell, but $24 for 24...so it works out fine for my wallet.

ps, holy fuck is my desk dusty. I also need to clean this weekend.

i was at the local bar last night and the barkeep accidentally gave me some Zagorka Special (imported from Bulgaria) instead of my Samuel Adams, and i must say it was pretty good

anybody else ever try it?

This thread kinda sucks in light of the fact that there's so many kinds of beers that you'd unlikely to taste the same ones as another user unless you live in the same state/city :O
booo.

In other news: I've started collecting the labels off the beer bottles. It's fun. I have 45 so far. That's 2 trips to the beer store's worth.

JAGERMEISTER!!!!!!

I won't stop until 100% of newgrounds users have bookmarked it.
Ok 100% is a bit high, maybe 99%.

ha...all you need is video uploading and customizable profiles and you'll be in the money.

Yuengling Lager was the first beer I ever tried and i've been loyal to it since. It's well liked in my area and they only distribute to 10 or so states or so. The brewery has a nice history to it also. My second favorite beer is Corona. But when i'm feeling all traditionall, Yuengling is my first choice. And when i'm feeling really classy i'll go for Rolling Rock.

Pabst is pretty tasty if you are into urinology.

The best example is the tins of Guinness, its just shite.

If you actually drink it straight from the can, yeah. It's just like how you're not supposed to drink wine from the bottle. I don't understand the science behind it really, but when wine or beer is exposed to air for a while and you have your nose right there in the glass, you're getting more of the smell and flavor and such.

The quality of tinned black gold never lives up to the godly bev you get in pintage form.

Guinness from the tap is always going to be better because of the perfect nitrogen and CO2 levels and everything, but the cans manage to get pretty damn close. Don't you get the ones with the widget inside? They put nitrogen in the ball when they do the canning. So when you open it, the pressure inside of the can goes down so the nitrogen comes out and gives the Guinness the bubbles and head, coming close to replicating Guinness on tap.

I drink Guinness cans all the time, just not straight from the can. Pour it in a glass and I doubt you'd be able to tell the difference.

Dim photo. You can't really see the down-trickling bubbles, but they're there I assure you.

Guinness is delicious too. Damn MADD for not allowing me to drink rationally like a human being.

Cellardoor, will you buy me beer?

Don't those cans say "drink straight from the can"?

Or maybe it's the bottles that say "drink from bottles".

Maybe you'd like to taste some GOOD honey beer? Try Barbãr. It's fucking awesome as shit. Ask Poxpower, he probably tasted it because he's so fucking great.

hey im an aussie so i would say that VB is the best but iv tasted a few and strong bows arnt that bad there an apple syder beer like thing if you ever get a chance try them out...

Though I barely drink, I do like drinking beer! Anybody got a cold keg? Any beer would do!

No, it says to pour it into a glass.

I am THE MASTER.

I wouldn't consider you the master of beer, drinking 200 beers in 1 and a half years isn't that much of an accomplishment. Hell, I know people that drink over 500 beers in 6 months (There alcoholics)

And trust me when I say this,
Your not the beer MASTER

Pleas don't ban me
