Another new euphemism
I was musing aloud the other day that alcohol free beer should have another name. If'n you weren't expecting it to taste like beer some brands would actually taste OK. And the name has to be appealing, so that the designated driver enjoys placing their order for a drink. A friend, listening to me, piped up "You mean like A Big Dick?". Exactly.
Who doesn't want to stride into a bar and confidently say "mine's a Big Dick!"? It works for all genders, all situations. Try ordering a Big Dick in this thread tonight and you'll see what I mean! Sent by thought transference |
So, you're going with Big Dick?
We don't even get to come up with names? What if you want a double? I'd like a double big dick? |
no...you want an African big dick
|
No I don't!
Near Beer is no good? Failed Ale maybe? Sassparilla? O'Doules? Malk? Anyway, do you actually drink it? I don't know anyone else who does. If I am the DD, I would be drinking Coke or water or coffee or tea, I reckon. How is it? Are there different kinds of tastes, like real beer? Is there a bitter hippy kind, and a smooth lager kind? |
Brand naming. I likey.
I'd suggest Courage if'n if hadn't already been taken, because it takes courage to order a non-alcoholic drink of everyone else is drinking. How about Punnish? That spelling? |
The fact that no one drinks non-alcoholic beer just confirms my belief that everyone secretly knows beer tastes like ass, and they only drink it for the buzz and the social acceptance. You get neither with the fake beers, so no one drinks them, even though the flavor can't be that hard to mock up.

I drink fake beer. And like it.

Beer sometimes tastes really good. Depends on my mood. One thing though, this fad of ordering pale ales makes no sense at all. I think people are just able to remember that pale ale is a kind of beer, so they order it. It can't be because they like the taste. Pale ales are horrible. Lagers are where it's at. Even a pilsner is better than a pale ale.
Really though, I'm happiest with a red wine. |
glatt, you get used to that bitterness, and it becomes rather refreshing. I used to hate the citrus taste of an IPA, but now, I actually prefer them.
I used to like sweet beers, like Tripel Ales and Lagers.... but now... I really like the HOPS. You have to train your tongue. there are beers that bridge the gap....like.... If you have some extra $$, try Duvel. it's $13 for a 4 pack... but it is the champagne of beers. dry and slightly fruity... crisp.... thin and quenchy.... it's really really good. http://www.chengdubeer.com/wp-conten...3/03/duvel.jpg BEER ADVOCATE'S OPINION Quote:

If you ordered " Duvel " in a Montana bar, you'd likely get Moose Drool.

The Firkin chain of pubs used to stock an amusingly named range of beer.
Firkin Dogbolter being one of one of the tamer ones. Occasionally a punter would already have suveyed what we had on the pumps but would try to embarrass us by asking for one of the fruitier names that they knew perfectly well we wouldn't have - being a freehouse. I can't remember any of the others, but I do remember my response to that one. "No, but I do have hia cock in a jar." Nonsensical but immediate and on the spot. And made it clear to said customer that the majority of barmaids had heard the lot. I think that's why Ben mostly employed student nurses. Funny how the ones with big tits seemed to get the most shifts though. |
I remember seeing a newspaper headline about the latest complaint from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA): It simply said: 'The Gripes of Froth'.
Barmaid! A pint of Stench & Dredge's Old Peculier, if you please. |
0Beach bang. 'Cause it's fucking close to water.
I drink low alcohol beer. It's fine. Now the regular stuff tastes funny. It's just what you get used to. Why do I drink it? So I can drink more :D I drink at home, though, so no DD required. But beest is on kid taxi duty ;) Tonight is a midnight pick-up for the freshman. I've still had little enough to drive, but by midnight (a) I'll be asleep and (b) I won't be driving any more. I'm too knackered anyway. I did the early morning shift and to the party. |

Hey! I've been there, the Old Pequliar. It's pretty nice, though I don't remember them having Stench & Dredge's on tap. I'll make a note for next time. |
|
Bloody hell, that'll put hairs on your chest.
I remember trying to like it when I was younger, because of its reputation. Nah. |
they drink quite a lot of it in Germany.
|
I like Old Peculiar too. Thanks for picking this up and running with it in my absence. Yesterday I had two pints of Nuts (can't remember the brewery) and a pint of Jarl. Now I'm home I'll be back on the Big Dick!
|
Ohhh there's nothing like a having a Big Dick waiting for you when you get home.
|
You gurlz R nasty.
|
And that's before we've even mentioned the Fox's Cock or the Bishop's Finger!
|
what do you call the relationship between you and the ex's new wife/husband/ S.O.?.....
|
Insignificant Other?
|
awkward?
A Duel? Relay Race |
Her next victim?
That poor guy? Funny, but not indicative. Her/His Husband/wife 2.0?, 3.0, etc. |
Actually, it's probably best not to refer to them much at all anyway.
|
Soon the boys will be grown and she won't have to. :thumb:

Took a picture of a pie for you today. M&S not Waitrose, aalthough I'm sure it's lovely.

I was watching yet another repeat of 'Flog it!' two or three evenings ago and an elderly, but very sharp, lady pitched up with some silver ware to dispose of. Her name was Mrs Theakston and she was a member of the brewing family of the same name. She explained that the beer took its name from the 'Peculier Court of Masham' (Yorkshire) which was an ecclesiastical court that enabled the parish to govern its own affairs, independent of the rest of the diocese.
Now, that was worth waiting for, wasn't it? |
I did not know that. Though it makes perfect sense now you say it.
