Although I’m having a hard time wrapping my mind around it, Yahoo News is reporting that the rumors turned out to be true, and the very liberal Tony Blair has converted to Catholicism. Go read the whole story.
Do You Hear What I Hear?
This is great! Hat Tip: Taylor Marshall.
I just finished Beer: Domestic, Imported, and Home Brewed by Eve Adamson. As you can probably tell by the title, the main topic of the book is beer. It has two chapters about beer, its history, its types and styles, and how to enjoy it. The lion’s share of the book, however is a region-by-region look at the beers of the world. Each of these chapters has a historical overview of beer production in each of those regions, along with who the brewers are, and a breakdown of individual products to try based on style within that locality. The final chapter is a brief overview of how to brew your own beer.
It’s a nice overview for someone who enjoys beer tasting and beer drinking.
Hm. A stout-style beer made with lager yeast instead of ale yeast? Wouldn’t that technically make it a schwartzbier instead of a stout?
Who cares?
Millstream’s Colony Oatmeal Stout Lager is a great beer. I normally prefer Imperial Stouts to Oatmeal or Dry Stouts, but this is a beer that can hold its head up proudly with the best Imperials. It was extremely well-balanced, with not-so-subtle hints of chocolate and roasted coffee.
Or, to put it more simply: yummy!
O King of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart; O Keystone of the mighty arch of man, come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust.
