Super Bowl Sunday and My Beer(s) of the Week
This week I have two beers being featured in my beer-o-blog-o-sphere. Black Ghost Oatmeal Stout by Madison River Brewing Company (over in Belgrade, MT) and Little Sumpin' Sumpin' by Lagunitas. While I can't say that I have a definitive favorite brewery, both of these brewery's are easily in my Top 5. However, I can with much gusto say that neither brewery has a beer that is anything but deliciously awesome. Yes I can and will claim that, and here's why. I am what some call a beer snob, however not one of those whiny, obnoxious, know-it-all's that claims his/her superb taste for beer is second to none. They have reserved themselves a special place in non-alcoholic hell.
A quick tip to deal with those ass-hats, (1st) hit the mental ignore switch and save your sanity, (2nd) grab a can/bottle/glass/container of the shittiest beverage nearby (the greater the sugar content, the stickier the mess, I recommend Mad-Dog 20/20 if you can find one), (3rd) waterfall said substance on beer snob to end his incessant whining.
Back to my qualifications as a certifiably non-obnoxious, non-whiny... hey put that disgusting beverage down I know what your up too, I invented that technique a few lines back, and besides dumping a beverage all over your monitor won't magically erase my sage internet wisdom, yeah that's right I said sage. Lets just suffice it to say, that I love beer, not all beer, but the majority of beers, from aluminum can to fancy glass bottle to under-carbonated home-brew experiment, I love em'!
Black Ghost Oatmeal Stout is so damn tasty that if there was but one bottle of it left in the world, and the qualifications to acquire it were to wrestle a black bear for its trout dinner, my life expectancy would plummet. Comparatively, Little Sumpin' Sumpin' is great, amazing even, but worth challenging a bear for its dinner, hardly. That said both have amazing flavors, appropriate amounts of hops, and garner and easy recommendation for just about anyone that would enjoy either a stout or an IPA. Might I note that if you are not a fan of darker, full bodied beer, these beers might not be for you.
Final notes, didn't watch the super bowl, don't care. Please don't attempt to fool me into thinking there is only one bottle of Black Ghost Oatmeal Stout left in the world, while it might make for a hilarious YouTube video, the bear would certainly be decimated and the guilt would consume you. A display of my bear wrestling techniques. And I realized that I don't have anything of relevance for our consumer behavior class. Shit, next paragraph!
I promise, this is my last paragraph. Part V - Live Organ Transplants. So, In "The Persuaders", there was that douchy mcdoucher french guy that made all that money from marketing schemes, in which he equated humans to reptiles. People actually paid this man to make a mockery of the common man. I especially hated his smug, know-it all attitude, quite similar to a beer snob. I would pay exactly a third of my next paycheck, around $150, for someone to pour a vat of skunk-gland juice all over him, and then after the shame of being stanky make him fight a bear for its trout dinner. And finally a video to console you for reading this ridiculously long blog post, next time will hopefully be shorter. Stupid, hilarious, and a throw back to the crappy cartoon He-Man.
