This guy kills me. His last beer review, done on his ultra-cheapo Dominican holiday, might just be his best. The guy practically blows his wad in his pants over pouring a Brahma!

Some of the great quotes you'll hear within;
"I'd rather have an adjunct lager than a pilsner", "You can't make a BAD pilsner" and his absolute classic (repeated about 50 times) "Guys! COME ON guys!"

It's almost "Andy Kaufmanesque"....well not really.

Some of the quotes from people who have viewed his channel:

"I HOPE TSA DIES IN A FIRE."

"our beers in australia are quality and always have been and you can get a good beer brewing with kits, stick your mash grain in your arse fuck "head. "

WOW. I think the only way this can be viewed is as high comedy. The alternative is too sad to consider.

God forbid Toronto missing out on a single (albeit very special) beer.

cratez, you have misunderstood entirely... I don't care about Toronto missing it... I care about me missing it!

I am interested to know (Peter or anyone who knows), how many pounds of whole hops were included per barrel, a barrel being taken at 36 gallons and the hops leaf hops?

If leaf hops weren't used, then what were the pounds of pellets? You can add about 20% to each pound to make the equivalence roughly in leaf hops.

In the 1800's, the maximum pounds of leaf hops used for a 36 gallon barrel of beer were 7-8. The strongest porters and finest pale ales, especially when exported, sometimes reach that level. While it is true they sometimes used older hops or hops used in a previous brewing, this was not always so especially for the top grades of beer.

So how would this new beer compare to that, the same, much higher, less?

I wonder if these awesome sounding one-offs will ever be readily available to their hometown customers.

Come on guys brew another batch, you know there's enough curious people out there to make it worth while.

I'm sure there are. I think there will be a reason to run a similar experiment......If you were at Session 99, Serendipity was the 3300 IBU experiment that ran awry.
