when i was waiting tables, i used to work with this irish guy - i followed him around constantly because i couldn't get enough of his accent. he said that his dad worked for guinness, and everyone who worked there got a free pint a day. those were probably after the mandatory AA meetings.

I tried my second gluten-free beer tonight, from the same brewery as the one I couldn't drink. This one was New Planet Pale Ale, which was actually pretty decent, nice and hoppy, though a bit heavy. There's such a stark contrast between the two that I'm wondering if I had a bad bottle of the Amber Ale. Who knows?

It could have been a bad bottle. If you like cider they have Red Apple Cider that is also gluten free.

I like cider, but it just can't replace beer in my heart.

can people brew their own without the gluten? that might be a little more trouble than you're willing to put in. have we talked about this before? i think we have, but i'm not sure it was about the gluten-factor.
the gluten-factor! starring wesley snipes and carrot top!

the gluten-factor! starring wesley snipes and carrot top! LSHIP! When a friend and I brewed beer before, I hadn't developed my gluten thingie yet, or at least I didn't know about it yet. It was fun but it's a lot of work, especially if you do it from scratch, not from syrups. These days I'm just too damn lazy. And I don't drink nearly as much as I used to. So now, I drink whatever I like and occasionally get a reaction.

This one is for you ladies out there. It's called Big Cock, and it's from Iowa.

Do they have a rooster on the label or something more graphic?

I'm sure the makers of that know the adolescent jokes will be limitless. When gusts arrive you can offer them a Big Cock. It could go on and on.

Yeah, that's true. It's not bad, actually. 7.1% alcohol so has a bit of a buzz to it.

Sounds like that Big Cock has some balls.

You could say that, yes.

And I did. Do you think Uranus would like a Big Cock?
Please, stop me
