There certainly are quite a few beers with strange names. I sort of wondered who would actually ask for some of them.

I am feeling like I'm suffering from a hangover. This is unfair as I do not drink (or rarely do - A wine at Xmas or occasionly at a BBQ). I think I might be coming down with a wog. Typical - I've just started two weeks holiday!

zozo - hope you soon feel better. I'm assuming the phrase "coming down with a wog" means something different in Tasmania than here, where you would instantly be branded a racist!!

Try a glass of Sutton's "Knickerdropper Glory" or maybe Dalesides's "Old Legover Country Stile" - that should perk you up a bit! LOL

Oh go on then, I'll challenge BL's entry on the grounds that "Kolsch" is a "pale top-fermented ale named after Koln (Cologne) in Germany", and therefore should not have been included for points. Also I suspect the "German style" bit is dodgy - all the sites (bar one) that I've seen just call it Goose Island Summertime Kolsch.

Can't judge until Bridelady defends !!

Challenge Mama as well- porter is a type of ale too!!

Bit more info - "porter" is a "dark brown/black British ale, the precursor to stout".

Also Mama didn't say which country the beer is from, though I'm assuming it's American.

Gee, Somali - What'd I ever do to you???
I did forget to say that Portland is in the US, but I didn't know that Porter was type of Ale. I just thought it was a part of the name. I'll have to defer to them what knows!!!

Sorry about the challenge Mama, but there was no way I was going to leave it to BL to challenge you! LOL

Incidentally, I found the definitions of both "Kolsch" and "Porter" in the beer glossary link that BL so kindly provided earlier in the week!

I'll forgive you this one time, Somali, but don't let it happen again!!!
The quiz for today in my local paper is a perfect way to find out how much we all learned this week (Ok, how much Fort, Annie and I learned, and how much the rest of you already knew!!!) Anyway, check it out: http://quizine.thekansascitychannel.com/services/quizine/quizine.cfm?quizid=31052 &SITEKEY=KC1

I'm so much smarter than I was sober on Monday!!!

What does that mean Somali?

LOL Mama. Smart versus sober? Hmmm, I think I'll still go with Fort's idea on the Bahama Mama's. I've got a lot to learn. Whoever came up with that song about 99 bottles of beer on the wall, never knew about the internet.

Well, I take it everyone has enjoyed this week's topic !!
Can I have a volunter to nominate a subject for a game in two weeks time.

You see, I will not be around much that weekend 16th - 18th June as it is my sister's wedding, so thinking of a topic will probably be the last thing on my mind, as well as scoring...but I will try and get that done. Any ideas...just PM me or E-mail me.

Thanks

I have an idea Sypher. I'll send you a PM now.
Have a great weekend everyone!

All this beer is going to my head and making me reckless, so I'll live dangerously and have a go at challenging Pling's entry as well!

From what I can work out, Redhook is the name of the brewery and so Redhook Winterhook Christmas Ale is legit, but the Blackhook part refers to a different beer altogether (a type of porter) made by the same brewery.

I know the site where Pling saw this entry and it is a dodgy one. The official Redhook Ale Brewery site clears it up. In fact the word "Christmas" no longer seems to appear on their labels - but I have seen it elsewhere.

Hi annie - just seen your post up above. Re: "Drunken cock-up!! Ignore" - with my love of challenges I was going to have a go at Mama's entry of yesterday for not naming the country her beer came from, but then realised that she meant ERB Co was the same as the Eel River that BL had used so decided not to bother. A case of too much beer affecting my thinking!

Somali, the word wog has two meanings in Australia.

The first is racist though it is a milder insult in Australia than in Britain and it can be used affectionately in certain cases.

The second refers to the flu or other illness (i.e. stomach wog).

I can't stay in bed because if I lie down I have trouble breathing (I am asthmatic). I am a little worried because I forget to get my flu shot this year.

Thursday's jokes on Friday or making up for lost time..!!

Devil
The Devil walks into a crowded bar. When the people see who it is,they all run out except this one old man. So the devil walks up to him and says" Do you know who I am?" and the old man sips his beer and answers "yep".
The Devil says "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"
The old man looks over and says "I've been married to your sister for 27 years, why the hell should I be scared of you."

Breakfast
The angry wife met her husband at the door. There was alcohol on his breath and lipstick on his collar.
"I assume," she snarled, "that there is a very good reason for you to come waltzing in here at six o'clock in the morning?"

"There is," he replied. "Breakfast."

Octopus
A guy walks into a bar with an octopus on his shoulder and tells the bartender that his octopus is a musical genius. "I'll bet you $10 he can play any instrument."

The bartender pulls out an electric guitar from behind the bar and says, "Well lets see him play this guitar."

The octopus takes the guitar and starts playing just like Jimi Hendrix. The patron pockets the $10.

Next the bartender pulls out a trumpet, the octopus grabs it and his playing would make Dizzie Gillespie proud. ...$10 later.

Now the bartender pulls out bagpipes from behind the bar and gives them to the octopus.

The octopus starts fumbling with them for a moment, and the bartender says "I think we stumped him, he can't play those!"

The octopus retorts: "Play them ?! As soon as I can figure out how to get these pyjamas off I'm gonna' boink them!"

Bad Date
A guy walks into a bar, sits down, and orders a beer. After he finished the beer, he sits the empty bottle in front of him and orders another beer. He takes that beer and pours it on his hand. He does this two or three times.

Finally the bartender comes up to him and asks why he keeps pouring beer on his hand.

The guy says, "I got to get my date drunk before I go home!"

Beer Bottles
Three guys are riding in their truck, drinking beer, having a good ol' time. The driver looks in the mirror and sees the flashing lights of a police car so he pulls over.
The other two are real nervous, "What do we do with our beers?

We're in trouble!"

"No," the driver says, "just do this: pull the label off of your beer bottle and stick it to your forehead and let me do the talking."

So they all pull the labels off their beer bottles and stick 'em to their foreheads.

The policeman walks up and says, "You boys were swerving down the road. Have you been drinking?"

The driver says, "Oh, no officer," and points to his forehead, "we're on the patch, trying to quit."

Sypher, we got called away suddenly this morning and will be gone for most of Saturday thru Monday. I'll try and post late Monday night, if we get back in time.

BL

All of Somali's challenges were valid, so several players got zero for Friday.
