Sorry Beerspin

You've been neglected for awhile, work and other stuff has a way of doing that sometimes.

Here's some eye candy to make up for it-

What beer would pair best with these delicacies?

I recently came across (via the internetz) some of the finest and most rare delicacies to grace man's plate. The foods are truthfully rotted garbage that no one should consume and I don't care if it seems insensitive to cultural tastes to say. BUT, could the foods perhaps be improved by the pairing of a perfect craft brew? Just maybe...

Warthog Anus

Made semi-famous by Anthony Bourdain, this Namibean appetizer might be the worst of the list. Who wants to save the best for last anyways? I honestly think the tribesman were just pulling a hilarious prank on Bourdain when he strolled into the village that day to make a spectacle attraction of the people.

Warthog Anus: Taste of, warthog anus.

Pairs well with: This deserves only the finest, try 7-11 Game Day Light. Would also have suggested Michelob Ultra Pomegranate Raspberry but sadly it appears no longer exists.

Soft boiled fetal Duck

Also known as Balut. Poor Donald Duck would be rolling over in his grave if he saw this, although if practiced in more parts of the world maybe it could have prevented Howard the Duck.

Balut: Commonly served with lime or lemon juice and chili powder.

Pairs well with: Abita Brewing Company - Abita Bock

A review and warning -

Based on the recommendation of a site frequent this past week I gave a beer cocktail recipe that was posted. With some free time this weekend and a few friends were supposed to come over, I thought this would be the perfect time to try it.

Touching Story

This is sad but also very touching.

Words of wisdom...

"Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for."

Slow day in beer related news....

The Wall Street Journal reported today on a lawsuit involving a patron and a bar over a game of beer pong gone awry. The law suit in short alledges neglect on the owners part to prevent Alan Berger from becoming too inebriated and later struck by a car attempting to cross a highway. The article partially quoted below:
