Frohes Neue Jahr – Novare Res

We’re just back from an early New Year’s Eve visit to Novare Res, and an earlier visit to the Phyzgig show at the Portland Performing Arts Center. A wonderful start to the celebrations!

Phyzgig is a celebration of physical comedy, old style vaudeville, wonderful acts including comedy, juggling, magic. A wonderful afternoon for kids or adults. Watch for it next year, it’s terrific.

Novare Res is featuring a tasting of Franconian (German) beers…  There are over 20 beers, all from bottle, available at $2.00 per 2 ounce tasting. We particularly enjoyed the Drummer dunkels vollbier and the Rehbrau dunkel, but the fourteen beers we tasted were truly a parade of wonderful flavors.

Living in Portland ain’t bad at all…

On Drinking Liters, German Style

As a devotee of cask ale, I’m accustomed to standing and chatting with friends, pint in hand. Octoberfest yesterday featured liter mugs, a very different experience.

Liters of beer in a heavy glass mug get tiring after a while. No wonder those guys drink at long tables, they need a place to rest the mug!

One other thing… A half inch of beer at the bottom of the mug looks like just a little bit; tipping the mug up to finish it off means there is a lot of beer heading for one’s face.

I’m too old to be re-trained…  I’m back to pints, thank you.

OK, A Horse Walks Into A Bar…

And the bartender says “So, why the long face?”

Drink, Don’t Drive

From a Beer Activist post entitled Drink, Don’t Drive:

My mom sent me this photo today. I love my mom.

Wow, where can I get me a mom like that?

Back home from our holiday travels at last. It’s good to be home in Maine. I have a handful of new reviews to write, and a trip to the Allagash Brewery tomorrow to pick up some of their aged beers. I’m excited. While we’re unpacking, I thought I’d post a link to a pretty cool beer-themed Christmas picture. Take a look: Merry Merry » Hop Talk

This just in – Warning for men.

Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. 

Many females use a date rape drug on the market called “Beer”. 

The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere.  It comes in bottles, cans, from taps and in large “kegs”.  Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them.  A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex.

Men are rendered helpless against this approach.  After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted.  After drinking Beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before often with just a vague feeling that “something bad” occurred.

At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life’s savings, in a familiar scam known as “a relationship”.  In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as “marriage”.  Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.

Please!  Share this warning with every male you know.  If you fall victim to this “Beer” scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men.  For the support group nearest you, just look up “Golf Courses” in the phone book.

Thank you, and please keep safe.
