A hop experiment turns to blows
After listening to an episode of Basic Brewing Radio, Jeff came up with a genius idea. We’ve been wanting to get a better feel for specific hop flavors/aromas and what they add to a beer. Instead of actually brewing beer to perform a controlled experiment, we’re going to do the next best thing… drink Coors Light.
Tonight we will be trying about a dozen different hop varieties by adding them individually to a 12-pack of Coors Light. We chose Coors because it doesn’t really taste like much so we should get a better sense of the hop contributions.
Unfortunately, this means that one of us will have to BUY a 12-pack of Coors Light. There has already been some fierce debate. Joel has outright refused, proving once again that he is not a team player – and, in fact, a major tool. I might have to take one for the team on this one, but to all you MNB guys: YOU OWE ME BIG.
(FYI, do a Google Image search for Coors Light and see how many pics of scantily-clad females come up. That’s how you know Coors Light tastes so good.)

I would like the record to show that Jonathan himself–who feigns willingness to buy coors light in the post above–in fact pulled a “Joel” at a recent Braves game. He refused to purchase a cold coors light poured into a cheap plastic cup–that staple of baseball stadiums everywhere–and said he wouldn’t drink anything less than a fine belgian lambic!

For crying in the mud…weren’t any of you young before? I remember thinking that Natural Ice was the shit!
God knows I was WAY off on that one. When I go back to to school, the thought of choking down that mop-buck-runoff makes my stomach turn, nonetheless I still manage to get a few down. After that, it’s smooth sailing! Until the morning anyway, but that’s another story for another day.
Have fun with the Coors.
