Stop - you had me at "It's the same liquid as a regular coors."

Coors Subzero.

The future of schloss?

Initial reaction:
You can take this machine and shove it up your ass.
Shove it way up in there.
Saw this posted on the Drydock website/blog:

...and the last step of the process, is when the beer pixes come and p*ss in the glass, thereby giving the coors its distinctive flavor.

As long as you dont mind waiting half an hour for your f**cking COORS beer, then this may be a nice novelty for you. But its still coors, ladies and gents.
How many people will put the glass off centre and the bloody thing goes flying across the bar?

I think you'll need a lot of pressure to keep a liquid from freezing, requiring specialist machinery. Liquids dont compress easily. Crystals in beer?
I once made myself a SchlenkerlaZubZero. Completely by accident. Left it in the freezer. Tasted terrible, but possibly better than Coors subzero. I also tried to do a BilkSubZero, but the thing exploded milk beer all over my freezer, along with a thousand tiny crystals (they were the undrinkable kind, being made of glass).

This new (desperate for renewed sales) beer technology kind of worked (in terms of sales, but not beer quality) with a Guinness, but they used tiny people in creme jumpsuits:

Actually, Guinness has that silly surger that uses vibration to impart energy to the gas in the beer, thereby creating those magic bubbles.

Magic?

Opens up a whole world of possibilities...


Hmmm... is this gonna go the way of the Nespresso? Or will it go the way of that stupid vibrating guinness machine? If u ask me, both are stupid.

Its still coors, even if with this space age technology, it came out of Astronaut John Glen's ass, its still coors.
"Its the same liquid as a regular coors." - they could have stopped the presentation there.

Kirin pilsner - it's funky.

Here's an article relating to this article explaining why I found these babies in my local convenience store.
Apprently, Kirin are bringing back 'the old recipes' for a special 2 beer 120th anniversary release - or so they say. The ingredients still list rice starch, so that could be total BS.

My taste reaction?

Boy, is it funky.

That's just the first word I could think of, after taking a first sip.
The fact that I accidentally snorted some of the head up my nose didn't help matters.

Man, I still have the taste on my tongue. Weird.
Dry, clean tasting(but wiht a strogn tinge of funk) a bit hoppy but still...funky.

Well, perhaps not that funky.

Even the Kirin logo is funky. Got some kind of green hoppy funk goin' on there. The carbonation is all funky. The huge funky bubbles in the funky head are, well, funky.
See for yourself: I'm not sure if I had this before but I should've remembered, if my reaction was like this.

Why not try it and see if you've got the funk, too?

Kirin funky pilsner 5.5/10 (Cos it's funky.)

Yebisu silk - it's weird but does it taste like worm's ass?

As reported by those Good Beer & Country Boys, Yebisu has recently released a new brew.

Yebisu Silk.

First impression from the picture above is WTF?
Is that head horizontal?
What the...?

How on Earth and according to the laws of physics can a beer have a head that pours at an angle?

This cannot be possible!

Inspired (and with sod all else to do), I decided to check it out.

Being the scientist that I was (It was a long time ago. I was young. I needed the money), I devised an experiment, to prove once and for all if this beer actually does pour at an angle.

I took one of my glasses and poured myself a Yebisu Silk.

Lo and behold, the results speak for themselves:For some strange reason, this beer does not seem to obey the universal laws of physics. It seems to take the Gravitational constant and twist it on it's beerational axis.
Perhaps as the silk worms pump this stuff out, the vortex created by their twisted anuses somehow twists the very fabric of space, time and beer.

I shall write a report and submit my findings to the next edition of El Natural and the Intersensational Journal of Science.

It seems this beer can not only taste strange, it can behave strange also.

My next experiment clearly shows that it's strangeness knows no limits:

So, how does it taste?
Like it came from a worm's sphincter?
Well, truth be told, I wouldn't know - my limited funding wouldn't allow me to get hold of some silk worms, to find out.
It does, however, taste quite smooth and silky.
To quote Nate, from GBCB:

"This is the least palette offending Yebisu made to date.
The can says it contains wheat malt, which is where the 'smooth' comes from."

Smooth. Unoffensive. Unfeeling. Uninteresting? Perhaps.
Truth be told, I just drank three of the buggers, during the course of my experiments.
Does anyone know how to get beer stains out of flooring?

Yebisu Silk 4-5/10

I poured myself a murphy's and I jizzed in my pants

Updated boozelist and added 2 bars - taking a break

I took advantage of a 150yen a 500ml can of Murphy's offer in a nearby store and stocked up my beer fridge.So, next, I took advantage of my abundance of Irish stout and grabbed a well earned break:Try saying 'Murphy's', without going "Mmm..."
