You know when Lockdown is getting to you when you choose a beer that reminds you of the SEA!
The sea?? Yes indeed, the sea. I have a beer quite literally made from salty sea creatures!
That's right Sister-Brother-Men! Salty sea OYSTER beer.
So here we are again. It's Saturday and that means me slopping beautiful nonsense into my mouth which is the exact opposite from the norm where beautiful nonsense quite literally slops out of my mouth!
Somebody touch my downstairs lamp.
There be changes afoot you might have noticed. There is only one beer to review?!
What?!? What what?!?!
I know. I can't get to the beer shop, supermarkets have shit beer (mostly) and the second beer that I had planned to review this week didn't arrive in my amazing beer box.
Out of stock they claimed. Have you ever heard of something so inhumane?
I will tell the Judge that they led me on good and proper and that is why I had to DESTROY THEM.
Maybe.
So what is this beer really all about? Let us get stuck in and sea.
Boom boom!!
They claim that 'Oyster Chew is a slightly more saline and less sweet version of our beloved stout, using hundreds of oysters in making the beer.'
That's nice. I don't mind a salty himjimminy. Hopefully not too salty. I don't want it to taste like the inside of a Mexican farmers hat.
It's a dank black with the smallest hint of brown. Like the grease a black-hearted pirate might use on his pole when giving the cabin boy what for.
Interesting indeed. Let's go!
Oofty boofty, I don't know about Oysters but hell, this tastes like seaweed sprayed in squid ink with a subtle hint of beer!
The brackish salt of the Kraken was almost overwhelming at times but for a man of my caliber it was easily bested. A good beer but not amazing. A fair 7.5/10 booms.
Right, I am on to the pales!
Let's light a candle for the end of this darned lockdown so that my beer Saturday's can get back to normal!
Cheers, have a good weekend everyone!
O goodness this just does not sound right - I will stick to oysters on salt cookies with a dip thank you.
Mmm. That sounds yummy!
So sad about the limited beer supply. I really feel for you man!
This lockdown hits in so many unforeseen ways!!
Have you ever had a beer and clam? It's red.
Is this naughty talk? Is that a thing!!
We have this strange liquid in Canada called Clamato. It's some wierd mixture of tomato juice and clam "juice" along with some other spices. You mix about two parts beer one part Clamato, maybe more beer. It fucking tastes great.
You know, I can really imagine that tasting great! I love the idea of it. Maybe I have to run with it and bring it over here!!
Man if you can find some Clamato over there you'd be one lucky guy. The pros like to rim the cup with some of that salty stuff and then they'll throw a stick of celery in there. Fancy shmancy.
I mix beer with Dr. Pepper as well but most people just think I'm crazy.
I have mixed red wine with cokey cola, that read not as bad as it sounds.
But the clamato does sound good! I must try it!!
Got a cup? I'll pour some on my keyboard and hit enter when you're ready.
Well the riots will begin once they run out of beer.
Never a truer word said. It's how they keep the masses happy!!
Ahah! Another beer man... =) oysters... only reminds me of good flavors...=) Love oysters!
I love them too!! But in this case I want to happy!! Long live the beer!! :0D
It doesn't bode well that you can't get even beer delivered on time anymore lol. I mean, it's not like you ordered N95 masks or anything. Hope the Good Lady and the young Boom's are weathering the 'quarantine' well. May it be over soonish!
We are weathering it, that's about the best that can be said!
I would kill for an N95 mask, you know you can't really get masks or hand sanitizer here! It's all been panic bought, the feckers!!!
Same here. I've got a yard full of aloe plants and a couple bottles of rubbing alcohol so I make my own sanitizer. Guess when the alcohol runs out I'll have to use moonshine lmao. Lots of folks are making their own masks too, but would feel much safer with an N95.
Stay well and keep the family safe. It's a tall order these days, but one day you'll tell your grandchildren about these interesting times that you survived lol. All the more reason to document them on the block!
You know, as soon as I heard that hand sanitizer was needed I thought, I will make my own and went to order rubbing alcohol and even then it was too late because all the sneaky folk had cleaned that out too!!
It's funny, I have been dating to the family that they will look back on this as story to tell when they are older!
A salty oyster beer!? 🤔
Will this be the most weird one ever?
Proost, have a splendid weekend!
Settling for a Duke Jan spring bock tonight.
It felt like the most weird ever!! A fine bock for you!!!
Cheers mate, proost!!
Thanks! Have a nice sunday mate!
I will do. It has dawned bright and sunny here. Have a good one dude!
Thanks man! Over here it is lovely weather too, it is a beautifu day!
some cool beer to chill during this lockdown
A very cool beer. Thankfully!
Probably good that beer wasn't accompanied by another - sounds bizarre!
Enjoy the pales, I've been a good lad this eve and not touched a drop :O
The pales are very good after the fishy madness.
It's Saturday, why on earth haven't you indulged!
I had my Saturday on Thursday and Friday, although i do wish i had bought just a few. Anyway, the night is done and I escaped!
The night is done but didn't that mean that tomorrow becomes the night instead. Oh noes! Hanover Monday!!!
