    Ow my Mouth! Bayern Dragon’s Breath 

    2009-11-01 13.21.18My local beer swiller has a “bargain bin”. Sometimes, I find some real gems in there. Like the Mendecino Black Hawk Stout. Other times however, what I find there truly deserves its shelf location. I should have known better when I saw the full six pack sitting there, instead of the usual single bottles.

    I won’t labor on the review too much other than to say “ew’. Like “omg ew”. Like, what were they thinking? Its labeled a “Dark Heff”, but I’m not sure what that even is supposed to mean. It is an assault on the tastebuds the like of which I haven’t had in awhile. The flavor was so all over the place, its almost like something I would recommend everyone try, just so I could watch the look on your face when you drink it. Its the beer equivalent to “Hey dude, this reeks….come smell it”.

    When you think about it, they did warn me a little by naming it Dragon’s Breath. That being the case, I’ll finish out this little review with an unintentional review from dear Gollum: “[Dragon's Breath] It burns! It burns us!”

      Sounds pretty lame. What’s the local beer swiller? I’m looking for good stores. I pop by Belmont Station from time to time, but I need more ideas.

      It is pretty nasty stuff. I got it at Market of Choice. Belmont Station is good. I’ve also heard good things about Beermongers (1125 SE Division St), although I haven’t tried it yet.

    Schlitz Malt Liquor 

    schlitz bullPart 2 in my continuing series on Beers Whose Artwork Can Kick Your Ass. The giant blue bull flaring its nostrils at me from the 24-oz can of Schlitz I bought should have been a clue as to what this stuff would do to my stomach. Much like the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, the Running of the Schlitz through my digestive tract the other night led to lots of goring, trampling, and internal organs running for cover. My gall bladder jumped out of the way just in time, climbing up to the top of my ribs to avoid the rampaging $1.19 beer. This crap is horrible! I guess that’s no surprise — you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Really, Schiltz is not that great-tasting of a beer? Thanks a bunch, Mr. beer-rater-guy. Next, can you get to work on that whole global warming issue.”

    So why do this to myself? Why should I complain, when after all, I’m named “Walt Liquor”? More to the point, why should you bother reading it? Because I believe there are tolerable cheap beers, and then there are ungodly awful cheap beers. And it is worth it, nay it is imperative, that we figure out which is which. Because if you’ve only got $2.19 to spend, you might as well spend it intelligently.  And my friends, Schilz is NOT the way to spend that money.

    That, and I’m too cheap to buy an expensive microbrew every time I want to review a beer…

      Owee. If there was an award I could give for “taking one for the team”, you would certainly receive it. For the sake of your family, why not have your next review be on a beer that won’t send you to the hospital. Your wife know where we live…

    Its amber colored. I guess it gets a point.

    *Have you ever wondered why mormons don’t drink? This is why.

    Now I was warned about how pitiful the beers were in Utah my my brother in law. I had the chance to visit Zion this past week were it was a balmy 115 degrees everyday, and I figured that a nice pint might take the edge of screaming kids and schweaty ballz. After plunking down my $5 at the Zion Pizza & Noodle Company I was ready to taste something better than the camp site water I had been drinking thus far. Shoulda stuck to the water.

    Best way to describe this beer is by describing the taste:
    (intentionally left blank.)

    There is hope that there might be a better brew in Utah, but Im not gonna take a chance again. At least the camp site water was free.

    dogEven their brewery dog thinks its crap.

    * total generality. in fact if you are mormon I hope you drink. alot.

      ROFL! I wouldn’t assume that the warm yellow colored liquid the dog is looking at is actually beer … My condolences Utah.
