September the 24th in the year of our Lord, may He bless the Apple Growers who provide us with those wonderful, crisp and delicious Cameo Apples, which are far superior to those mushy McIntosh that are so loved by the unwashed masses, 2007.
(Webmaster's note,(Oh, good Lord, What is this bozo on about now. Probably snorting his applejack again.
There is no apple in this beer, there is no taste of apple in this beer, and even the original Bozo wouldn't let this clown near a keyboard. Why Me!))

Blanche de Chambly,
Unibroue,
Chambly Quebec.

On this the 17th of September in the year of our Lord, may he bless the farmers for they produce the wheat that goes into this the wonderful libation we shared today, 2007.
(Webmaster's note: (Just where, exactly, does this bozo think barley and hops come from? Good grief! the things I have to read.))
Scriveners note: What the hell are you on about. This is a WHEAT Beer! Farmers also grow rutabagas and peaches, but I didn't say anything about them, did I?
(Webmaster's note: (If you ever actually read what you wrote, you'd realize you never really say anything at all!))

Bavaria Original Brew

It is and shall be December the 10th in the year of our Laird, (for you Bubba, you Yankee, Scots type. For the rest of you wannabees, it's Lord), 2006, may he bless you and keep you, for we want nothing to do with supporting and keeping anyone, or blessing for that matter, unless you are one of the chosen few, and those spots are taken up by the august members of this 'Committee', and there are no spots available unless someone becomes incapacitated in some way, (falling down drunk does not count), or some more evil thing befalls one of us, and we all intend to live to be at least 70, so you have a couple more years to wait. I have typers cramp. Waaaah!

The 'beer' of the day was, (should really read: swill, sludge, crap),

Bavaria Original Brew,
Bavaria Brewery,
Lieshout, Holland.

Tasters present were the entire 'Committee', plus our esteemed guest Clifford E.,better known as 'Bubba'.
Let the puking begin, (I am surprised that no one did, after looking at these ratings). I shall begin with the procurer of these sad libations,(you should be ashamed), Nemsis the cookie monster. (inside joke, but I will share. He begged the poor wife of mine for some home made cookies to take to his office Christmas party, {yes Christmas, and if you politically correct asses don't like it, you can kiss mine}, and then took them home and ate them, hardly sharing with his brother. What a prince you aren't!). Anyway, here we go!

On this, the 3rd day of dazzling December, in the 2006th year of our glorious goddess, and in honour of the 10 leaping Lords of the libation... and especially the 3 esteemed and present in attendance to we 2 lovely, of the ladies dancing, as we frolic in the festivity of this exceptionally sunny Sunday morn.

Innis & Gunn, Oak Aged Beer 6.6%,
Edinburgh, Scotland

As the procurer of this proffering, I shall commence with mine own sage sentiments - noting that I devotedly and dauntlessly searched hither, thither and there to bring and bestow the most beauteous of brews, to be brought forth for blessing by the noblemen and noblewomen of this fine establishment, alike. And lo... I did bow down before them, ready only to arise and accept the predestined praise for which I have for a lifetime prepared - to finally and irrevocably remove the sinfully scandalous stain of the past and "unspeakable" profferings I've presented heretofore, forevermore.
All in attendance, tho' Jack did not presently partake of the merry-making (and will be added later)
And here's what we had to say... beginning with She of the most discerning devotion and peerless palate... me!
(Webmaster's Note, ( Good Grief, she does carry on doesn't she? (In a literary sense, of course.(Come to think of it, maybe we should spin this little hobby off in a new direction)).

The 'Scrivener' on this page is NOT, I repeat NOT Devoid!

November 5th in the year of our Lord, may he bless the tasters of beer, which are us for we have returned without vengeance I might add, for are peace loving folk except for Nemsis who always wants to kill something or other. (Join the NRA for heavens sake). (Webmaster's Note,{I did that years ago, they refuse to teach me to make an atomic bomb using French red wine for the core. I don't know, something about hurting poor defenseless people who can't even do a good job of sinking an unarmed Greenpeace ship even when it's tied to a dock. You figure it out, I can't}, You should be glad we are, or we could send the Nemster to your door dressed as a Gestapo agent smoking a big ciggie in a holder, speaking with a Cherman accent, telling you, that you will like it, we have ways of making you like it! 2006.

Yankee Jim Honey Lager,
all natural, premium.
