HopHead Brew Blog

I know that many people, who have done host transfers, may be wondering what all the fuss is about, I’ll explain. I have several domains, each with many layers, many problems you can say, but, it is all done now!

I will be back to my regular reporting on anything I can find about beer! Tonight, I have to do a follow up to the Keystone Light post The main thing I have to say is, if you like beer, not just the expensive stuff, but all beer, you have to have a baseline or benchmark to go from, and personally, for regular beer, it is Budbrewski for me! Since my break, the keystone post, I haven’t had a beer! Tragic I know! However, after it is all done, except for the fine tuning, I wanted to have a beer! Remember, keystone is the norm here, I wanted a bud, and comparing the two is a bit like chalk and cheese! They start out the same, but finish much different.

When drinking the Keystone, I had this overwhelmingly stupid feeling, my brain was out of order, yes, gettin drunk does that, but I barely had a buzz! After drinking just 6 of my Budbrewski’s, I had mor of a buzz, but don’t have that cloud in my head! Hmm, for $3.24 a twelve-pack difference, I will buy the Bud!

I still have some work to do, and guess what, I can do it, even on my “vacation”, I know this, once I get my hands on some Arrogant Bastard, I will appreciate it even more!

If you have visited this blog in the last week or so, you may have noticed that there just wasn’t much happening, I am soory about that, but it is due to many things, mostly preparations for the move from Yahoo to Hostmonster.

I have been paying $526.20yr for my hosting, but once I get everything switched to HostMonster, it will only be $125.40! Better Service at a Better Price! I love it!

I do want to say this, when I first signed up with Yahoo, it was perfect, and for anybody that has zero knowledge on web-design, or only wants a simple site, Yahoo is perfect! But, once you learn a bit, get more than one site etc, it is time to move on!

Homebew Fanatic.com is the first one to get moved, but the others will follow soon. I have to admit I was a bit scared, I didn’t want to mess up the mess I already had, and I will no longer be able to use Yahoo Sitebuilder for my sites, this is the best WYSIWYG editor available, but I have learned how to use other tools, I will miss the simplicity, but it is time to move on!

I want to thank everyone for their patience, I have a million plugins to set up, RSS feeds to be replaced etc, but things will be rolling again soon!

Have a cold one for me!

Ok, Ok, I can hear everybody already! No, this beer is not a “real” beer, it is not in the same class as even a Budbrewski, but, I am writing this as an “honorable mention”, why, you might ask? IT COMES IN A LONGNECK!

I mean how often do you find cheap beer in a bottle, much less in a longneck! I do have to admit, for $6.99 a 12 pack, it is drinkable, if you chug down the first 3 or 4, it works just fine!

Where I live, in the sticks, this is actually the beer of choice! In fact, the best beer you can buy around here is Bud! Maybe a Shiner, for $7 a six pack! (Not worth $5), but when visiting a store here in the Somerville area, you will find the most, buying this stuff. Today, I just had to know, so, I looked and there it was, a 12 pack of longnecks for $6.99! This is a place that Bud longnecks are $12.99! Any wonder why it sells?

So, now that I have slammed all 12, what do I think? The buzz sucks! I am going to have a hangover from hell! I can tell that this is an adjunct brew, I don’t think it even has any barley malt in it! Nor does it have any hops! I have a strange buzz, almost scary, yet a Bud is way stronger, you don’t know that you will have a headache until the next day. I have to say this, if you want a cheap headache, this is the way to go, but unless you are an alcoholic, don’t mess with it!

After reading many other posts about this brewery, i decided that I just had to try it! Just so that you know, I am not a big fan of beer made from anything but barley or wheat, but this one was really good! I have to say that I will buy it again.

One remarkable thing is that this beer didn’t taste like an ale, which usually has that ale yeast characteristic, I would hate to think that a brewery with a name like “Real Ale’ could possibly be using lager yeast, and no I am not accusing them of that. What I am saying is that it has a very clean, crisp taste. As far as the rye part goes, it just doesn’t have that bitter twang from rye (I don’t mean bitter from hops!), but it does have a nice hoppiness.

Overall I give this beer a thumbs up, it was different from other rye beers that I have tried, I actually liked it, so go get some of this and tell me what you think about it!

Just to let everyone know where I have been the last couple of days, I have started another Blog, what else right? Just as I have strong opinions about beer and brewing, I have some doozies when it comes to politics, world news, and of course the war on terror, not to mention several other things that are too numerous to list!

So, while you are out browsing, check out OpinionHead, my newest creation. If you too have strong Opinions, register, post a comment, and if you are interested, I need authors with varying opinions to keep the site content balanced, you’ll find a link on the About page that will send the email to me, just tell me a bit about you and so on, and I might make you an Author!

Remember, as it always is, it is about sharing ideas, that way we can all learn from each other. Should you want to go directly to the first serious post, you can click here

I hope to see you all there, and bring your attitudes! Bring some facts too!
