What beer are you drinking now? #296

Save the Parabola for a year.
Probably save both for a year.
Pretty nice problem to have though, eh?

 

NOT AT ALL!!! This is the 3200 B.C. Egyptian hieroglyph for beer, if you see the lines on something else running sideways that's later 3000 B.C. . I use it as a touch/makers mark for all my blacksmithing pieces. I had this tankard made for me by a fellow BA. It's funny I get asked this question all the time. People have two responses one like yours or why do you use an arrowhead for your mark? I always wonder what makes people see two entirely different things and what makes them see the one they do. The two wavy lines alone is the sign for river or flowing water. I'm not ranting, just a little history lesson. A few times people knew what the mark really is.

 

Gonna drink the FW XVI, found a local store with 6 more bottles of FW XVI and 4 bottles of XIV !!! Gonna piss the wife off and go shopping!

 

Haha okay okay. I highly doubted it was what I thought it was, just checking. Thanks for clarifying man! Oh and that harpoon opener is sick!!!!

 

I was wondering about the arrowhead.
When I read bifrost's post I noticed the similarity.
Now after reading your post I saw the river.
Damn the power of suggestion. I need a beer

 

Happy Birthday!!!!!
Is your dog camera shy or wanted by the authorities?

 

More importantly, awesome opener and tankard.

 

The whole symbol is an amphora (jug) with the flowing water.

 

Thanks for the lesson. It is unfortunate that many times symbols are misinterpreted due to similarities (or sameness) to symbols that certain persons have profaned.

If I may, the tetragammon/gammdion [sp?] (also known as a Swatstika [sp?]) is an ancient Eastern symbol meaning good and power. Of course it was adopted by some assholes and has now become universally known as a hateful symbol. Perhaps this is the most known symbol that has been f'ed up by atrocious use in our history. Perhaps in another millenia it will be reclaimed for the Eastern cultures that once used it.

Edit: The cultures who originally used it stretched across southern Asia from the original brewers near Sumeria to India. Beer.

 

About that time....

 

Oh, what's that? No rare beers from WA state? Well this might not be a "whale" but it's a damn fine stout aged in dry fly whiskey barrels. Props to Pike for this one.



drinkin this treat while I cook and do some house cleaning on my day off.

 

Sorry guys, I'm not good with photoshop or I would have taken out the word Coconut. Maybe my palate isn't refined enough but if my eyes were closed I'd tell you this was a regular Stone IPA.... weak.

 

Sierra Nevada Beer Camp #93 - IPA.

Cheers!

 

How does one go about acquiring one of your amazing openers?

 

not too shabby...cheers y'all!

 

Schneider Weisse Tap 5 Meine Hopfenweisse - mmm, this is good. I love this brewery. I like how strong German beers still come in 500ml bottles so you can have a proper drink!

 

First Imperial Lager/Pilsener I've tried, and it's outstanding. Making dealing with my parents (well my father to be fair, my mother is a pleasure to be around) and grandmother while on vacation a lot easier.

Aviator Devils Tramping Ground Tripel, 22 ounce bottle. Real real good.
Enjoy all!

 

Just a little DFH 120 in St Bernardus glassware...typical Monday?
