Anybody who has struggled through a 10 min. conversation with me on “beer style” or so-called “craft” beer, will probably know why I like this video by comedian and fellow Hoosier Jim Gaffigan. He and I seem so simpatico on this that I wondered if he and I share some genetic connection somewhere in the distant dark hazy history of the Indiana woodlands? It’s pretty funny….enjoy.
HAHA! That was great and how I feel most the time. I do like to do the odd experiment of “I wonder how this would come out”… But when I want beer, I want actual beer, not something that was put together in a juice bar! Thanks for the laugh Jim. Man….I can feel my old man curmudgeon coming out. Get off my lawn and pull up your pants!
Haha that’s good. Thanks for sharing Jim!
Cheers

Fermenting: We Are The Dreamer of Dreams (NEIPA)Good stuff. It’s just general enough to where anyone can make it about what they want I think. Like, a person who dislikes hazy IPAs but likes classic bitter, piney american IPAs can say “yea, what Jim G Said!” while someone who just likes to drink Coors Light and hates IPAs can say “yea, good simple lager, FU IPA people, what Jim G said!”
Except those chocolate avacado orange kids, damn all the thousands of breweries in the US making chocolate avacado orange beer!
As someone who is always looking for hidden meanings (paranoia), I was trying to dissect Jim’s veiled reference to Simpatico beer (a really awful Mexican Lager, IMO). Fess up, Jim, there must be some story behind this like waking up in a South of the Border village with a really bad hangover and maybe other things.
Ha ha, that’s funny Chuck. I totally forgot about Simpatico. Talk about a blast from the past. ….and by ‘other things’ I assume you mean STDs??

Jim, that never crossed my mind. True story though, after college, one of my friend went to Mexico – got blackout drunk and came back with a wife.

Ryan,
You are right. Spirits, food, art, etc. are all subjective. I started making beer and wine back in the 1970’s and the results of my efforts were poor. So I quit doing it. There was no Internet and because it was new at the time there were few resources to expand ones knowledge. I do think in the future, people will look at this point in time to be a golden age of brewing. So many people pushing the envelop on beer styles.
I will say that since I got back into Beer making, I have developed a greater appreciation for some beer styles I did not like in the past. Still I cannot go for a strawberry IPA.
