that would be great! we could pound back some beverages at the pub.
When you say the word 'beverage' I am reminded of this article by Jeremy Clarkson (http://my-nepenthe.blogspot.com/2006/02/worst-word-in-language.html) - WARNING: not for humourless PC wallahs.
But yeah, a British real ale pub or a Canadian beerhouse? I like the old man's type pubs, with pork scratchings on the bar and the fresh dark mild just waiting to be drunk.
lol great article! beverage is a common local word for beer here, used in a mock-serious way. it's a term we reserve for an alcoholic bevvie only (do you use that word?). we also say "brewski" lol
we have a great place called Brewster's which makes barleywine nommmmmm.

a real ale pub would be awesome.
I thought "beverage" referred to any consumable fluid you can buy. If you're going to buy someone a "drink" it better be alcoholic. A "beverage" could be a diet coke.

i like my beer to be 100 IBUs/International Bitterness Units or higher. your toes would curl from the double IPA's i enjoy. you're silly.
No they would not I make 200 ibu beers (seriously) not that it matters once you get to a certain point perhaps 150 it's not noticeable ,
I do it for preservative reasons .
that sounds awesome!

your tongue must not have a lot of bitter taste buds. i have more than enough for 2 people. i can't handle ANY amount of bitter.
i am a supertaster, but i killed just enough tastebuds that i am enjoying some bitterness. beer and black coffee taste so good to me now! i've only been able to drink beer or black coffee for about 3 years. forget most green vegetables, though, and still can't eat or drink anything too sour either. do you think you might be a supertaster?

it does mean that, yes. but we refer to beer like that, sort of a nickname i guess.

to quote w.c. fields- "all the good things in life are either illegal, immoral or fattening." no more bacon and cheddar fried spam for me
i suspect you wouldn't like the cooking of graham kerr, who is big on using arrow root to give his sauces and gravies a nice smooth full-bodied mouth feel.hyperlexian wrote:

rhubarb is way too tart for me but not to the point of bitterness. but i can't live without a bit of tartness, it is essential in most sweet beverages and desserts and candies and such. and my life would be considerably diminished if there were no such thing as a good sharp cheddar cheese.

when it comes to sweet/sour/bitter, i am a supertaster, but am the opposite when it comes to salty/umami, which i can't get enough of.
ohhhhhh i missed salty! i have problems with that, can't even eat too many potato chips. can you eat hot/peppery stuff? how about cheesecake? sweet is the only one i have never had a problem with, but the texture of some foods like cheesecake makes me feel ill.
i can only handle a hint of hot and spicy. spicy by itself i like to have a lot of, just no mouth-burning hotness. i don't have a sweet tooth per se, but i like a mild mix of sweet and sour in my beverages and desserts, just a little more sweetness rapidly deteriorates into cloying excess. i do have a salty/greasy/creamy tooth, as gravies of whatever stripe are my best friends. mouth feel matters a lot to me. whole chocolate milk [like what wilcox farms used to put out] is nectar of the gods, AFAIC. chocolate cheesecake, atop a chocolate graham cracker crust, with cherry pie filling atop it then with whipped cream atop that, is similarly divine. i love sweet hard cider, it has just enough alcoholic bite to make it memorable but sans bitterness. the original dos equis was dark and syrupy/malty, but not bitter. i miss it. molsen golden is gold. i wish they sold it in washington state. keystone light is nominally refreshing but mostly insipid. poutine with nice soggy but thin-cut fries is to die for [literally].

Wow just like Homer Simpson
And would you care to guess which one is the best
Beer gravy, but of cause mine doesn't have dead animal floor scrapings (sp)
Still mighty tasty though
Up everything, onion, herbs, garlic etc etc though you need to be careful it's quite easy to over bitter it , use an old aged stout (high gravity) don't try it with an IPA

back when i had more gumption, i used to love to cook with beer, red wine and JD. sauerkraut and beer, sauerkraut and red wine, beer gravy, whiskey in beef stew, beer or wine in chicken or turkey stew. sausages cooked in beer or red wine.

I've known about the Real Ale Twats for years.
Right, I'm off to the Cask and Fuggle for a pint of Muggeridge's Old Stinker, a 6.4% strong dark ale.
... with a light, hoppy finish
