Can be any worse than lambic beer! Bought a few and simply cut out the middleman and poured down the drain!!

That stuff is the result of someone making an infected batch and marketing it well.
Never in my house thank you the drains don’t deserve it!

I once bought Dunbar 0% alcohol by mistake and thought that was off until i realisedy mistake, I hate to think what that tastes like
Did you buy from brewery or a shop? That sounds lovely!

I cannot remember where I got it from to be honest, and a cursory internet search is not throwing up anything conclusive.
I do remember it being a bit of a revelation though so a more concerted effort to source a couple of cases may be in order....
Bloody awful!
That also sounds good!

This summer I had a couple of 20L pins of cask ale that had been brewed to utilise the natural wild yeast in the air.
The brewery is housed in an old farm outbuilding and the brewer told me that he got the idea whilst watching clouds of pollen being wafted from the elder flowers.
He started the brew off by using a classic EPA yeast and then moved the brew outside and just loosely covered it with a cloth, two days later and the fermentation was progressing like a volcanic eruption.
The brew was called Wild Wood and came from The Crafty Monkey Brewing Co situated a short way from Hartlepool, initially it took a bit of getting used to but once tapped it began to mellow, I enjoyed it that much that I had a second pin a couple of months later.
It was a one off and can never be truly recreated as there is no knowing what yeast was responsible.
Here’s to true craft brewers keeping the cask ale tradition alive.

Not a beer or cider, rather a liquor. May be the most disgusting flavor on the planet - alcoholic beaver glands.
I have trapped and killed a lot of beaver, and the castor smell is not unpleasant in its place but concentrated in the mouth it’s horrid. Even a bit of beaver meat tainted by a knife that’s touchéd a castor gland can be unpalatable

Why just have one? Polygamy Porter is a smooth, chocolatey, easy-drinkin’ brown porter that’s more than a little naughty. Take some home to the wives!

I worked with a deeply disturbed Swedish field ecologist once (‘Mad Fred the Swede’).
He had a home made beaver gland concoction, created by steeping beaver gland in lab ethanol he stole from the lab he worked in before coming to us.
I couldn’t bring myself to try it, and you could smell it coming off him.
He’d go on solo benders, starting drinking at 9 in the morning. Then show up in our common area at 4pm, wearing nothing but a pair of red silk underpants, with his testicles dangling out. He’d sneak up on unsuspecting people from behind and attempt to rest his bollocks on their head or shoulder.
Last I heard, he’d disappeared into the sub arctic somewhere to do a PhD on wolverines.

Know a few Norwegians who are not too dissimilar!
It seems quite common in the far north!
