Guinness Stout

Weird ? What's weird about it ? Seems perfectly normal to me. At least its named after something that exists not like some of the pommie ones like Hobgoblin and Tanglefoot. And don't the Canucks have one called Moose Drool ?

[Niner]

They got one called Moosehead. That one is pretty good.

[Niner Delta]

They do have one called "Moose Drool", had a few bottles myself. Not too bad.

Also had "Bastard Ale" and "Double Bastard". But have never seen "Blue Tongue" locally, will look for it.

Bastard Ale and Double Bastard. Now there's a couple of names that would do real well in Oz.

I wonder if the brewer knows any aussies ?

[tonsper]

Yes, unfortunately we do have one called Moosehead. It has been named for the wrong end of the moose. It is more rightly called Moosepiss, which is more like its taste.

I was thinking "Moose Drool" beer was from Canada, actually it is brewed by Big Sky Breweries in Missoula, Montana. OOPS!

When I was growing up in Washington state there was, and is, a local beer called Olympia. We called it "sex on the sand", because they are both "f**king near water".

A friend gave me this, I have yet to drink it. The lady is supposed to be Trooper Jane Ingilby. The label states ; In 1644 after the battle of Marston Moor, the victorious Oliver Cromwell sought shelter overnight at nearby Ripley Castle. Sir William Ingilby, owner of the castle and prominent royalist, feared for his life and hid in the secret Priest's Hole in the Knight's chamber. Meanwhile his sister Trooper Jane, who had fought alongside her brother at Marston Moor now stood guard over the astonished General all night in the castle library brandishing two pistols to ensure his good behaviour.
