man, my uncle's an alcohol because of that shit.
Not to put you off or anything, but he got hooked on his own brew
and it's pretty much fucked up his life. I wouldn't go near anybody's
if I was offered.

Ooo, I love waggledance.

Waggledance is utter shite.
It's for southerners who think they're drinking bitter.

It's for people who like it.
It's very simple.

I'm not a fan of honey beer.
If I want a sweeter pint, I'll go for a fruit one.

Real men drink bitter.
The clue is in the title.

Sweet beer indeed....*mutters*

Stout FTW

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 23:24, archived)

Basically, anything other than "sweet beer".

Ideally
all the sugar turns to alcohol, like Jeff Goldblum used to say. If that sugar happens to come from honey then so be it. It comes from something sweet whatever... no... it IS something sweet. IT'S FUCKING SUGAR.

But, and here's the important bit
it doesn't TASTE sweet.
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 23:31, archived)

It depends
On how heavily a beer is hopped and what types of hops are used as to how bitter it tastes, also what malts go into the mash. A lightly hopped beer made from pale malt will taste a hell of a lot sweeter than a ruby ale hopped heavily with something like Target hops.

Look.
Shut up.
(rnuk http://flickr.com/rnuk, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 23:36, archived)

Like fuck will I
Similarly German and Belgian wheat beers have a sweet taste which is rather pleasant.
( Lord Gnome, Fri 12 Jan 2007, 23:38, archived)

Alternatively
Bitter men could be drinking real ale.
