Strange Brew eh?

Advantages: Great film eh!!
Disadvantages: Bit old now.

...Strange Brew. What is it? Well, it?s a film about Bob and Doug Mackenzie and they are a pair of Dumbwits that are supposed to live in Canada. All they are interested in is Donuts, Beer and Hockey. They make a real stupid film and get stitched up by the brewery. That is all I am saying or I will spoil the plot for you!!! ~It?s a real old film (about 1982) and stars Rick Moranis in his early days. I really think you should watch this film if you like Canada and Hockey. Oh and Beer!!! Great quote from the film ? Take off you Hoser!?. Its hard to get hold of in UK but you can order it from special shops. Not as good as the hockey fillm Slapshot but quite funny....

Review of Strange Brew DVD

Satan's Brew

Advantages: There are no advantages to drinking this poison
Disadvantages: Tastes absolutely disgusting

...Special Brew, eh? The creme de la creme of Tramps' Stew style beverages. If you're drinking this rather than Tennants' Super, then you're obviously a higher class of hobo. It's not cheap, but that isn't really the point, because a pint of this stuff does things to you that normal pints will never do. I last had this stuff when I was sixteen but boy does it stick out in my mind even today. I drank three cans and proceeded to get lost in a field. I eventually came to after being enveloped in a nightmare for nigh on three hours, by which time I'd walked into a telegraph pole. Twice. It tastes worse than almost anything else I've ever tried. Only (a) tramps and (b) Chavs out to cause trouble, are ever going to drink this stuff habitually. This drink doesn't deserve any stars at all. In fact I'd give it negative stars if I could....

Review of Carlsberg Special Brew Lager

SPECIAL BREW .. OH IT'S DEFINATLY SPECIAL

Advantages: CHEAP NIGHT IN - GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY - A STUDENTS WET DREAM!!
Disadvantages: TASTE ISN'T THE BEST - POSSIBILITY OF WAKING UP IN A&E

...Well well well .. me and the mighty Special Brew meet again and to be quite honest I'm glad theres a screen between me and the might lager as I can honestly say I've had some good times but oohhh I've definatly had some bad times on it! The first time I ever drunk this so called lager was at the age of 15 (nearly 5 years ago) in a park close to my home. I only had £10 per week from my paper round and armed with a bottle of White Lightning and 4 cans of Special Brew I decided to take on the world. Anyway with a bit of courage I decided I could drink all 4 cans with ease and still stand to tell the tale - I was definatly niave then!! Anyway after pulling back the ring pull and taking a sniff I realised why it was so cheap as the smell of it spelt out disaster but anyway I decided to close my eyes and take a swig ... first of all I...

Interesting Home Brewing beer and wine resource

Advantages: Regularly updated, pictures, detailed reports, intersting mini-projects
Disadvantages: Kit brewing only currently

...Bell's Beer Home Brew Blog (at http://bellsbeer.wordpress.com ) is a really interesting and useful resource for the amateur home brewer. There are extremely regular posts (several times a week) which means there is always something knew to read when you decide to take a look. The RSS feed is brilliant for being able to keep up to date. There a a large number of photos included with the posts, which is both athetically pleasing, and useful. The posts are also very detailed, explaining exactly what was done. In addition to just reports on Bell's beer and wine, he also undertakes numerous interesting experiments and mini-projects, such as how to attach and remove bottle labels, and the conversion of a cupboard under the stairs into a brewery. This are pleasant asides from just brewing reports. While the blogs writer is a relative...

Review of Sonic Brew - Black Label Society

An exotic brew

Advantages: Healthy, tasty, organic, caffeine-free, yeast-free
Disadvantages: Price

.... ~ Internal use ~ It is known to cleanse the blood and improve liver function. Firstly it helps remove toxins from it, secondly it increases bile flow so more fats can be broken down therefore it aids digestion. It also acts as a mild laxative and diuretic (removes excess water). ~ Side effects ~ No side effects are known when consumed though it can cause occupational contact dermatitis when handled at plant growers. The brew I pour just boiled water on the teabag and leave for approximately five minutes to soak. Spices need slightly longer brewing time as they come from hard or fibrious parts of the plants and therefore need to soften to release their flavour and beneficial contents. Egyptian Spice is a toning, energizing and soothing blend of cinnamon, ginger, orange peel, cardamom, black pepper chicory root, barley malt...

Review of Yogi Tea Licorice Egyptian Spice

Glorious brew.

Advantages: Unusual peach flavour makes it a bit different.
Disadvantages: Maybe not to everyone's taste.

...This is a very unusual, deliciously light and refreshing beer, which is ideal for drinking on a summer's evening. At 4.5% abv it is not too strong and you can appreciate the subtle flavours and aroma without getting completely wrecked. It is brewed by Hall and Woodhouse, Dorset and comes in a bottle decorated with peach blossom and hops, which gives a clue to the unusual floral aroma and peach / melon taste which greets you when you open the bottle and taste the beer. This may not sound very appetising to those who like their beer unadulterated, and if you are in this category, I would steer well clear of this particular version - as it is quite strongly flavoured. There are many other flavoured beers out there, but I don't know of any other peach-tasting varieties, so this definitely stands out from the crowd. However, it is...

Review of Badger Golden Glory

NOT SO SPECIAL

Advantages: Um...err....
Disadvantages: It stinks

...Preferred tipple of the downtrodden...or, more accurately, the down-and-out, Carlsberg Special Brew has got a bit of a reputation. Nowadays, Buckie seems to be the choice of the young juice-head, and CSB is seen as more of an old dosser's drink. Is this fair? Probably. It's not a drink I would normally put anywhere near these ruby-reds, but while working down in Nottingham last week, some kind previous occupant of the flat I was staying in had kindly left a can or two in the fridge. Not one to look a gift fridge in the mouth (and having ran out of beer myself) , I nonchalantly popped open one of those cans. Was this such a good idea? Let's find out. Carlsberg was first launched in 1847 when Captain J.C.Jacobsen, plotted a course "to develop the art of making beer to the greatest possible degree of perfection". It was the first...

Review of Carlsberg Special Brew Lager

Brewing coffee

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...A little joke to share with you on this happy Saturday afternoon - it may help cheer up all the Rangers supporters!!! :-) A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee." The husband said, "You are in charge of the cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." The wife replies, "No you should do it, and besides it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." The husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." The wife then fetched the Bible, and opened up the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed said...

Fancy a Brew

Advantages: Looks fantastic, makes perfect drinks
Disadvantages: Cost of drink refills

...I absolutely adore my Tassimo, it was a spur of the moment buy whilst I was in Argos looking for a gift. I got it in silver to match the rest of my kitchen appliances. I thought it was a fair price, I paid £99.99, I know it seems quite expensive for a brewing machine but as well as basic coffee you can have cappuccino's, latte's, tea and even hot chocolate. I thought it was a bargain. With my Tassimo I got the machine (obviously), a cleaning disc, a cleaning tool, User guide, quick start card and a registration card. I love the design of this machine, it's really sleek and shiny (for now). It is mainly silver but the cup stand is a nice gleaming black. It looks really modern and fits in brilliantly with my kitchen décor. There is a 1 litre water tank. It has an adjustable cup stand and drip tray. It also does not take up a lot...
