Oh the perils of beer reviews
I’ve recently discovered that there are many different beer brands in the world. Even a few that I have yet to taste. One such anamoly is Abita. I’ve heard some decent things about them and see them around the local Package Store (for those not familiar with the lingo, a package store is a liquor and beer store, not FedEx Kinko’s). So when I saw that a fellow beer blogger had reviewed one of Abita’s beers, naturally I clicked the link. FYI, this blogger calls himself Trub Wörtwurst, which is probably not his real name.
Generally I find beer reviews fairly boring and full of themselves, but not this one. Nope. If you’ll notice, the name of the beer is Turbo Dog. You might also notice that there are about 5 million dog references in the review. I’ll admit, after the first paragraph I stopped paying attention to what Trub was actually saying and starting counting dog references (I found nine). Key learnings from the Turbo Dog review:
- Try Abita Turbo Dog
- Not all beer reviews are stuffy (some are corny!)
- There are many dog references that I need to incorporate into my daily vocabulary (put a muzzle on it!)
Trub’s actually got a fairly extensive list of beer reviews, so be sure to visit him if you’ve got a hankerin’ for a brew. He also includes pics and –yes– even videos of the beer.

Pour out all of that skunky beer before I have the health officials on your ass! What are you fellas, ANARCHISTS?!?!
Never listen to what my beer reviews say. I pay the neighborhood crazies to write them.

I’m slight upset and offended by what looks to be a FROSTED GLASS in the photo. A frosted glass is only ever acceptable on the set of Cheers, when it’s probably filled with cold tea anyway. With a stout? In the words of Ian Paisley - NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
