Those are actually a very, very enjoyable time, provided you finish them within about a week, which is generally no problemo. Much tastier than out of the bottle. Probably deserve a review, in fact….

Well played on some VERY inside references.

I have to admit… I… may well get one of those Heineken mini-kegs soon. They just look… nifty.

Excellent beer, and excellent candid of bungler. My only beef with Newcastle is that they call their beer “Brown Ale.” That’s kind of like saying “Rude Parisian,” in that ale is assumed to be brown until noted otherwise, I’d say. Comments? Spears? Non?

The whole Heineken “skunky” thing is a feature common to many beers from the Low Countries, so-named for their propensity to drop the suspension on their 6-4s and El Caminos, which they consider “badass,” or “fly.” I enjoy the occasional Heiney (heh heh), though I do agree it tastes better at the brewery. When they used to let you get loaded there for cheap. At 11 in the morning.

Kolonel will be posting this evening. Jet was broke today so I’m a little peeved, and there’s a tripel in the fridge that needs some drinkin.
