Did someone say Beer! Yo ho Yo ho a pirates life for me!
« on: August 07, 2009, 09:34:20 AM »
OK me Bucko's lets talk about some Brew Like I can see myself when I was in a pub with John Entwhistle for the first time, I drank out of a Yard long glass and was drinking a Beer he recommended called Watney's red barrel on tap mmmmm good stuff but I think it may be retired now.  
 
It was great in flavor little amber and little carmel, lighter than Bass ale and now when I go off the beaten track now at home I like the light creamy taste of a Mexican Beer called Tecate..anyone else with some  worldly Beers to try. Speaking of Pirates,...
 I just finished a new song called Sea of Passion( a Pirates tale) anyone interested in hearing it drop me an email and I will send you a clip, it's a little more guitar orientated little Tullish sounding 70ish , its a story about a Pirates life and his Passion for the sea which eventually turns into his watery Grave Arrrrrh...it was really fun to do and has some nice reverse effect guitar soling going on. I played everyhing myself and recored and produced it except for drums were done with loops and the flute was done on a roland guitar synth..but I will be adding real Drums to it , just sent the wave file out to a drummer friend of mine for years who is going to lay it down for me then I will rematser it with his drums....anyway let's pop some tops!

If you can find it I highly recommend Deschutes Black Butte XXI.  It's none more wicked awesome.  I had it at the Portland Brew Pub a few weeks ago when I was in town for a gig.  I'm still kicking myself for not taking several bottles home with me.

I just tried a beer from Boone, NC last night and liked it a lot (a Bass Ale fan).  It's called  Blowing Rock High Country and had real a nice flavor.  
 
On the other note, I'd like to hear your tune John. Please send it along.

Johm:
 
Try that Tecate with a slice of lemon or lime ... yummy!  One of my favorite beers is brewed right here in California:  Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.  
 
And, of course, what is a pirate's favorite consonant?  
 
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

When I was in the UK I couldn't get enough of Old Speckled Hen.
 
'sposed to be available in the States, but I haven't seen in in my neck of the woods yet.

Pretty much my 3 all time favorites (not neccesarily in order)
1) Devil's Mountain Five Malt Ale. Alas, they're out of business.
2) New Glarus Fat Squirrel.  Alas, you can only buy it in Wisconsin.  I'm hoping my current batch comes close.
3) My third batch back - a spectacular (if I do say so myself) cream ale.  Alas, it's all gone.
I guess I need to do some looking (and/or brewing).  Oh, darn

My two favorites are the Marzen from the French Broad Brewery in Asheville, NC. I also like the IPA from the Front Street Brewery in Wilmington, NC.  
 
There is a new brewery, Aviator Brewing, a few miles from me that I am trying to get out to sample. If it is any good it would be nice to be able to pick up a growler on the way home. I use to do that with Left Hand Brewery in Longmont, Co when I lived in Berthoud.

Bill, they're gonna kick you out of Alameda for that, RRRRRRRRRRRRR. There's supposed to be a G in that consonant, RRRRRRRRRRRGGGG, I think I got that info from my favorite Kelsey Grammer movie, Down Periscope. Yep, the Pale Ale is one of my fave's as well.

Gee Whiz (sorry),  
nobody mentioned that Watney's Red Barrel is part of a classic Monty Python sketch with Eric Idle and John Cleese.

I wish you the best success with matching Fat Squirrel for it 'tis a fine brew- but hands down New Glarus IPA (you better like hops) is a favorite of mine as well as Pike Street Stout (currently unavailable in the Milwaukee area).
 
The Oscar Blue's brewery makes another really good stout - Ten Fidy, only available in cans but it certainly is thich and rich.

Peter, I had Fat Squirrel on tap at Wisconsin Dells hard to leave the bar, very tasty.  By the way Victor Wooten is in your town in Sept.  John
