(113,213 posts)always thought that hops and barley were. . .well. . .plants. Apparently I was wrong. Does this mean that I have to return my Master Gardener certification??
Even though I can't drink it, I thought I understood its basic composition.

Why would anyone indulge in something made only for herbivores?

(112,065 posts)After all, the beer commercials keep saying that I should go out and get some meat. And of course, your post #69 is directed towards me and gay beer. Coinkydinks?
Retired Engineer Bob
(759 posts)LOL. I had a client that referred to Miller as a gay beer, apparently he was a upset about a stance Miller took. Sorry to say I nodded and agreed and took no stand to defend myself.

I did try Old Froth and Slosh (also a seasonal limited edition) once though, and as I recall it was pretty good. But that was over 50 years ago.

Warpy
(111,222 posts)although I know some tribal people in central Asia ferment the milk of their herd animals into an alcoholic drink. I'm lactose intolerant to the max, so I'll pass. I also wouldn't call it "beer," following the lead of anthropologists who have tasted the stuff.
soldierant
(6,836 posts)What ferments to make alcohol is the carbs. We may need to eat them, but most animal parts don't have enough carbs to ferment. Even many plants need sugar added to ferment. But, yeah, I guess milk could be fermented, with some effort.
Warpy
(111,222 posts)but the feremented kind, not the chewed and spit out kind. The fermented ones pretty much follow the barley based beer, maize and possibly other local grains sprouted to release the sugars, dried, ground, and mixed with hot water and allowed to ferment for a week or so. The stuff I've seen in videos comes in a lot of colors, so they're likely sweetened with fruit flavors. Chicha will also get you hammered if you drink enough of it, it can be as potent as homebrew, my homebrew delivering a solid kick.
Still, the ognorance quoted in the OP was absolutely staggering. Even people who don't brew it have a hazy idea where it comes from.

(715 posts)impression that ALL beer is plant based. Maybe I misread your post but isn't all beer made from materials drawn from Kingdom Plantae? I LOVE the hard cidres, fruit liqueurs, ales & meads but beer? (as in hops & the like?), No mam! I have to say I wasn't aware that there has ever been a beer made from animals..Maybe, I'm woefully uninformed? What am I missing here?

I didn't know what it meant either, but found the answer with a Google search. It happened yesterday, apparently.

Aristus
(66,308 posts)I heard Coors Lite is made when a dyspeptic brewer with gonorrhea and a urinary tract infection pees into stagnant rainwater, collects it in an untanned deerskin, leaves it on a dusty shelf for three years, and then cans it.
I don't know what sleight-of-hand Coors has to do to get the FDA to label their stuff 'beer', but they're allowed to get away with it...
