deleting old photos off my phone and came across this gem from a bar in Chi-town. Apparently Miller Fortune is, "brewed with cascade hops to give it a bourbon-like flavor; resting somewhere between a craft beer and a light lager" I love these, but never seem to remember to write them down. Anybody got any others?
I think that description was stolen... http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...rs-seeks-spirits-fans-with-bourbon-like-lager
Boonesborough Indian Pale Ale was brewed in Philadelphia between 1790-1700.2. It was a highly hopped ale, so that it would age well, to be sent distances to soldiers on the frontier.
I've never seen a dumb description like that, but I see style and abv listings on menus get messed up in dumb ways fairly often. (a bock listed as an "ipa", etc.)
that's awesome also love "the best selling alcoholic drink in Ireland" why describe the beer when you can just say its the go to way to get drunk in Ireland
Several years back, this was the description for Pilsner Urquell on the website of the once well-respected beer bar at The Old Bay Restaurant in New Brunswick, NJ - written, obviously, long after both the split of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and Old Bay and their "Beer Guy". The replacement beer guy at the time - not quite so up on brewing history... The website* for a Jersey City liquor store called Broadway Liquors once noted that they sold these "beers": Bass L Magic Cat Whole Garden Heartsas well as: Heniken Guiness Peronni (note they gave Guinness' second "n' to the Italian beer...) *Always sorry I didn't so a screenshot of it, because it was quite a fun little "How many mistakes can you find?" puzzle. Gotta say those first four out loud to figure them out. I assume that the store owner told their web site designer (probably not a beer drinker) the brand names over the phone...
Great photo! I love how they add the local source on the menu by the macros... And that Heineken description just makes me want to jump on that bandwagon and be proud that I helped contribute to their massive production volume. Something about knowing their 2007 production statistic (in liters) would definitely sway my palate if I couldn't make up my mind between gold medal winners, and that mysterious bourbony cascade hop.... And the Irish, they're all such raging drunks over there, that if it's the best selling alcohol on the isle, it's gotta be good! i can imagine this bar being the lamest place on earth.
Was entering a restaurant in beautiful downtown Asheville (aka the beer mecca of the East) and saw a placard proudly stating they served Guinness, "the original Imperial Stout."
