Deschutes nails it with the stout! Also really digging the winter ale lately. Hope you enjoy! Have you busted into the magic blue bottle of my Islands best? Just remember to strain it while pouring

You know, beer is a human invention of great antiquity. Preceeds the invention of the wheel by a substantial span of centuries. So, if you were wondering which came first, now you know. We didn't invent beer so we'd have something to do while cruising for hot ghetto babes, we invented the wheel so we'd have some place to drink beer without our wives discovering our fetishes for hot ghetto babes.
Which reminds me, Jason... a paleoanthropologist friend of mine was saying that the Max Planck Institute was hoping to find some DNA from the Boreoeutherian ancestor to solve some big mysteries about external testicles and the evolutionary/genetic changes involved with the conversion of UV vision to blue vision in humans, apes, bigfoot and people who live below the Mason-Dixon line. I told him I thought I could get him some. So, if you wouldn't mind terribly, go in the bathroom and grab a Q-tip and swab the inside of your cheek with it. Drop it in an envelope and mail it off to me. Much appreciated. I might be able to get you and your testicles a bit part in some upcoming scientifical-like YouTube video, or something. You could be practically famous, or something.
Also of note, at the site of Stonehenge there are literally thousands of these gourds or some such shit that the builders drank from during the construction. They're all over the place, and at all the best henge sites. They contain traces of the ingredients of primitive beer. Explains a lot, I think. They also used the shoulder blades of deer and elk for shovels, and tossed them in the beer mug pits, too, when they wore out or broke. I suspect some kind of weird shit going on after dark at the old Stonehenge project, probably conducted on company time with a lot of falsified overtime hours on the time sheet. We may never know how many hot ghetto bitches were sacrificed on the alter during the wee, dark hours of night... but, we can be sure that they only abandoned the site when they heard that there was better beer and more ghetto babes in Ohio.

No shortage of good breweries and girls of ill refute lacking in the old moral compass is these here parts, thats for sure.
I've had a couple of beers based on what you speak of. Fraoch, from Scotland, is an ancient recipe using heather to flavor the ale either during or after fermentation, don't recall when.
The other was Midas Touch by Dogfish head. That one is based on the residue analyzed from ancient pottery found in Greece that turned out to be a type of early beer. If I recall, honey and grains were the primary ingredients.
Not sure when hops were first added to brew but I would suspect northern Europe/England given their growing history. Could be that hops actually originate elsewhere, I've never read up on it. For that matter, when did cultivated yeast for beer and baking originate? Yet another thing to ask the old Google Machine one day...
As for your genotype testing, you'll have to tell the Institute that my line has always been Yankee since the first Scots settled in early New England to the Hungarians and Poles that arrived in New York in the very later part of the 19th century. No Rebels in our line, plus my vision had always been in the infrared. May have something to do with Old Grandpa Vlad...who knows???
Perhaps seeking someone, preferably a Southerner of course, with far more actual human traits would work out best for the men in the white coats. And the men in the dark suits and sun glasses too while were at it.
Ah, to be a fly on the wall at Stonehenge and it's ilk. Bitchin good time I bet! Virgin sacrifices, ale, and food cooked over a roaring fire...sounds like 4th of July at my house but I could be wrong. No virgins around here that's for sure.

Yeah, they'd probably frown on disemboweling third graders on a stone alter, over on the Protestant side of town.
I think visiting the Great Pyramid jobsites would be an enlightening trip. You'd want to know what "Oh, shit!!!" sounds like in the native tongue, first. Might affect where you want to be standing while gawking at all that non-union labor.

It's a strip down and roll around in the snow kinda cider... What's that you say? "No, snow" . Pfftsh, just rip the neighbors fridge out of the wall and paddle down the Ohio river aways, spear fishing for carp naked

Strong... Get you drunk quick kinda strong... When the yeast stopped burping, I added about 3lbs of sugar to feed em, then waited for them to stop again, then added a half gallon of local honey... This is per 5 gal carboy.
I really don't know what I'm doing, I just grab some yeast, squish some apples, mix, throw some sugar in, then let it do it's work. While I was bottling a friend asked if I had hopped cider. I said, "No, I think its too late..." "Can I just add it in the bottle?" sooo that's what ya get boss.. I'm surprised the bottles didn't explode.
