I'm drinking a plant-based beer tonight.

[Aristus]

Damn you, President Biden!

I was so looking forward to a good pork beer.

This malted-barley-with-hops monstrosity just won’t catch on, I’m sure of it...

[Mme. Defarge]

1. Brew hoo!

[Aristus]

6. Madame!

[niyad]

2. Until that moran spoke, I had always thought that beer was "plant-based". At least, I had

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.

How was your anniversary celebration?

[Aristus]

9. Well, we knew the GOP would send their worst and dumbest

to oppose President Biden’s Green New Deal, but I had no idea how bad and dumb they would be...

[soldierant]

39. The fermentation is done with malt,

which is related to yeast, and I understood both were close to fungi. But even if they were animal in nature, I certainly wouldn't expect anyone in the GOP to know it.

[Kali]

44. malt is just sprouted and (usually) roasted barley

yeast is the fermenting agent and is a fungi

[unblock]

3. "Hops? I swear I thought it was hogs!"

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

51. Series? Hawgs don't hop!

Have a frog beer. Very hoppy.

[Sneederbunk]

5. Now I am suspicious of whiskey.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. Don't forget grapes!

Kudlow probably thinks chickens make wine possible.

[soothsayer]

8. This cracked me up

[2naSalit]

18. And they're evil.

[Laffy Kat]

10. LOL. I, too, enjoyed my first of the season plant-based libation this afternoon.

[TexasTowelie]

11. I'm in worse shape than you.

My beer has pilsner and wheat malts, Vanguard hops, and raspberry puree was added after filtration.

Why would anyone indulge in something made only for herbivores?

[Aristus]

13. Any more of this, and I'll grow rabbit teeth and whiskers.

Man was never meant to consume plant-based alcohol!

[Retired Engineer Bob]

31. Gonna turn you gay for sure

Happened to me, 2 -3 years of soy boy vegan Miller Genuine Draft is what was responsible.

[TexasTowelie]

32. I actually believe it is the opposite.

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]

37. You had me looking for post #69 for a minute

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.

[wendyb-NC]

12. Are you, really?

Who'd would have ever imagined, that plant-based beer,would ever be a possibility?

[Aristus]

14. I know!

Darndest thing!

[Retired Engineer Bob]

15. Damned Biden pushed me to a vegan Manhattan

The horror....

[Aristus]

16. And the cherries?

The cherries were animal-based, I trust?

[Retired Engineer Bob]

17. Not "cherries" per se

We use Rocky Mountain Oysters. Fulfills the Kudlow edict I believe.

[denbot]

19. I heard barley and hops are a good substitute for fishbeer.

I’ll try one tonight too.

[MontanaMama]

20. Dang it...

I was hoping to hang with you cool kids tonight...but all I had to drink was a lovely plant based Pinot Noir.

[DBoon]

21. Have you tried Hamm's beer?

From the name, I suspect it may have pork products in it.

[jmowreader]

33. From the commercials I think it contains bear meatt

Be sure to cook Hamms thoroughly before drinking it to prevent trichinosis.

[GReedDiamond]

22. Here ya go...Meat Wave IPA...

(You'll have to add your own pork, though. The label is a little misleading.)

[RestoreAmerica2020]

23. How adventurous of you. Cheers!

[ Note: First time I used that emogi!]

[Aristus]

25. And to you!

[pazzyanne]

24. After picking dandelion flower heads for several hours

to make my dandelion wine, I know my wine is definitely plant based! I wouldn't have it any other way!!!

[Aristus]

26. Dandelion Wine...

One of my favorite books as a kid...

[pazzyanne]

28. + 1 nt

[niyad]

49. A friend makes a beautiful dandelion wine jelly. Delicate and delicious.

[Ocelot II]

27. Commie. I suppose you drink plant-based wine, too.

[brewens]

29. I had a plant based brownie earlier. I think we're onto something here. :) n/t

[3catwoman3]

30. I "suffered thru" some plant-based Mike's...

...Hard Lemonade with dinner. It went down well with the non-vegan Mac-n-cheese with bacon from a nearby tavern-eatery.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

34. Thanks Joe Biden.

But surely the good ol' boys have had enough! It's just flat out un-American ... !

Edit: brain fart. Kudlow media whore, and executive lackey. never elected

[House of Roberts]

36. Kevin Harvick's car sponsor today was something called 'Dog Brew'.

Draw your own conclusions.

[soldierant]

41. In the Rockies there used to be a seasonal, artisan brewed beer

calle Bear Piss. Never tried it, so don't ask.

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.

[Ollie Garkie]

38. they can pry

They can pry my bacon double cheeseburger pilsner from my cold dead hands!

[Warpy]

40. I shudder to think what a non plant based beer might contain

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]

42. That was my forst thought.

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]

43. One I'd like to try some day is chicha

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.

[roamer65]

45. Kudlow must be on the nose candy again.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

46. Okay, admittedly, I don't drink Beer. Can't stand the stuff but, um, well, I was under the distinct

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?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

47. Larry Kudlow was complaining about Biden's environmental...

... strategies on Fox News, proclaiming that we'll someday be unable to consume animal products and instead be forced to grill Brussel sprouts and drink plant-based beer.

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

[In_The_Wind]

48. I found a Strawberry Wine that's darned fine.

[Aristus]

50. Sounds Heavenly!...

[sarge43]

52. Is it true

Coors Lite is made by waving a slice of bacon over the vat?

[Aristus]

53. That's not what I heard.

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...

[sarge43]

54. That was vivid. Gross, but vivid.

I applaud your descriptive abilities.

[Aristus]

55. Well, if it puts people off of Coors Lite, or any other beer labeled 'Lite',

my work has not been in vain.

Life is too short to drink bad beer...

[sarge43]

56. If anything can, that should do it. n/t
