Terminal_Gravity Posted November 27, 2001 Posted November 27, 2001 Any one interested in a pub meeting this Thursday? Horse Brass?? ------------------- Guiness Sucks Quote
texplorer Posted November 27, 2001 Posted November 27, 2001 I am interested but I work until 7:30. Quote
hikerwa Posted November 27, 2001 Posted November 27, 2001 Anne, Will and Holly? sounds like the Land of the Lost.... any sleestacks? Make sure to drink a few for me, maybe we should plan a road trip to P-town for a weekend pub club. Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 28, 2001 Author Posted November 28, 2001 TexP, I'm cool with late...hopefully Will & Anne & Holly.... etc. want to show. Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 28, 2001 Author Posted November 28, 2001 To pub or not to pub? That is the question. I am getting an alpine start tomarrow-driving to P town with 13,000 pounds of beer behind my back seat over snowy passes. I'm sure I will have worked up a powerful thirst by the time I arrive. Is Tex really the only climber out there that wants to have a beer? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 28, 2001 Posted November 28, 2001 TG last nights festivities in Seattle was probably the coolest one I ever went to. Even Jonny boy webmeister showed up I drank as much as my body could handle and then some more Have fun if you guys party Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 28, 2001 Author Posted November 28, 2001 Thanks Cavey, Hey; I got an interesting proposal for you. I brewed a beer the has a couple of ingredients not approved by the FDA for human consumption. Initial reports are that it is about 2-3 times as enebriating as regular High Octane beer. with a very euphoric; non-depressant feel. Want to be a test subject? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 28, 2001 Posted November 28, 2001 Bring it up to the Lillooet ice fest. That way all the canyuckers like Drul can get plastered too Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 28, 2001 Author Posted November 28, 2001 one keg? [ 11-28-2001: Message edited by: Terminal Gravity ] Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 28, 2001 Posted November 28, 2001 Dude it would be drank quickly if the same amount of people showed up as last year. But it would be welcomed and you would be a super star Quote
Dru Posted November 28, 2001 Posted November 28, 2001 Hemp Cream Ale? We make that up here but not with buds just industrial hemp... sounds good but TG do you have to drink it warm to have an effect? maybe you should mix some kava kava in. I guess it doesnt meet the Bavarian Purity Law either... Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 29, 2001 Author Posted November 29, 2001 If any one besides Texplorer was thinking of a pub club tommarow...cool. But I am completely snowed in. All roads out of here are closed "until further notice". I will be in Portland Tuesday, however.Pub club then??? , [ 11-28-2001: Message edited by: Terminal Gravity ] Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 29, 2001 Author Posted November 29, 2001 Oh yeah. Dru, good guess. But the psychoactive constituents in my special beer are not nearly so mundane, boring & typical as hemp. Surfed that one already -- so has about every brewer I know. It is more of a combination of the ale drank by berserkers before battle and the gruit drank by the social misfits and the party crowd of 14th century England. It is funny that you mention the purity law. Besides developing a more stringent tax law the Reinhiesibot (sp?) was primarily designed to quash the highly inebriating and psychotropic beers being brewed at the time. Englands hop laws preceded Germany. 1300 to 1500 AD was the golden age of brewing. Herbology was a big part of the art and several herbs that are much more uplifting and arousing than hops were used to counter act the sweetness of malt. There is nothing new about governments making anything that is too much fun, illeagle. [ 11-28-2001: Message edited by: Terminal Gravity ] Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 So TG are you taking kegs to the ice fest? I wonder if they will let it cross the border though? Nine more to 2000 Quote
Dru Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 And I always thought the BPL was invented to ensure that those fruit beers like Blackberry Ale, did not qualify as real beer and hence were labelled girly drinks along with hard lemonade and rockaberry cider. TG you talkin' shroom beer then or what? I heard you can make wine out of mushrooms... : Quote
chelle Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 Sounds like an interesting brew Terminal. If it's a hit at the ice fest, perhaps you can supply cc.com's spring rope up as well. Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 29, 2001 Author Posted November 29, 2001 Cap.C ; Good point about the border police. I'm pretty sure I can't take kegs across the border and they damn well sure won't fit up my ass. Dru - Since you asked. Malt, yeast, water and just a bit of Fuggles hops for aroma. And then, the botanicals!Scottish Marsh Rosemary ( nothing like common rosemary), Sweet Gale and Yarrow. The Yarrow contains a chemical called thujone (sp?) which is the psychoactive ingredient in true Absenthe. (The Absenthe that you can get in Canada uses wormwood that has been bred to have no thojone in it.) Those three herbs together produce a nice old world flavor in the beer and a buzzy, happy euphoria with a bit of sexual arousal thrown in for good measure. That was step one. Now it gets good. I then took some Mandrake and steeped it in ethanol to make a ticture and added that to the boiling wort. Mandrake was one of the most sacred plants of druids. It is in the nightshade family along with henbane. In small quantities it produces great energy and feelings of superhuman strength and invulnerability (the berserker connection). In moderate quantities it can cause loss of muscle control or a coma. More than that it is fatal. The base beer is a sour mash with a bit of smoked malt brewed to be about 8% alchohol. True to form for the special occasion beers of old England. ehmmic, There may not be any of this beer left, but I promise that I will bring as many kegs of IPA as needed for the spring ropeup. Will, I do hope that we all can get together Tuesday [ 11-29-2001: Message edited by: Terminal Gravity ] Quote
erik Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 tg, all i know is that i will be down soon, to get some of that shit. just think how many sorerity parties you could be the MAN at. now i just need to get back college. that or just get me lady all tanked. but seriously. that sounds like some good shiznit and interesting. i bet after quaffing a couple i could send narrow arrow.

But don't drink Hills Absinthe from Czech Republic! That is the thujone-less stuff. More info www.erowid.org Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 29, 2001 Author Posted November 29, 2001 Dru, I am happy to hear that I was mistaking. No true Absinthe in th US. Are you the smartest guy in the world...is there anything you don't know something about? I am impressed. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted November 29, 2001 Posted November 29, 2001 Just give em the KY Slapper like Trask But dont do it in the Fitness Forum they will delete it Quote

No true Absinthe in th US.Are you the smartest guy in the world...is there anything you don't know something about? I am impressed. I know nothing at all about baseball and football trivia. Ditto guns, airplanes, standard clutches, and the dialectics of postmodernism. I know very little about classical music and boy bands. Cell biology, genetics and biochemistry are subjects I am only cursorily knowledgeable in. Can't ski at all. Can't drive standard. Can't barbeque properly, it always ends up blackened anmd half raw. Second to Capt. in posting to this bbs. I have no avatars. Cant remember rules to cribbage. Weak at TV trivia, never seen an episode of Cheers or Ally McBeal. Not familiar with much long hair tight jeans 80s rock and roll. Quote

Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted November 30, 2001 Author Posted November 30, 2001 Drul, Never - ever admit that you can't barbeque. I'm a marginal skier, a sub par aid climber and I've lead less than half a dozen water ice pitches in my life.... but I'm spectacular on the barbee Quote
