HERE'S A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE DRINKS...I MEAN "LINKS"
Great beer has taste. It need not be high in alcohol, but it is full of flavour. Some great
beers have only two or three percent alcohol; others have nine or ten. One might be a
summer refresher, the other a wintry nightcap. It Is their flavour that makes them
great. Wine language can seem pretentious to beer drinkers, but the pleasures of
malt and hops are no less varied than those of the grape".
-Michael Jackson (Beer aficionado not pedophile)
Where's that bloody pub...I'm
gasping for a pint !
"Beer for me, is more than something I like drinking.  It's a litmus of
civilisation. If the society is making good beer, then it's a healthy society.  If
that sounds a bit preposterous, look at this.  Beer -- real beer -- is
something that you can only make if you love it.  If you want to make money,
then you won't make beer -- not real beer -- you'll end up making
something that looks like beer but that isn't really beer at all.  By the time
you've filtered it to take out the yeast sediment, sterilised it, and put it under
the pressure of CO2 you'll end up with an inert, lifeless corpse of a drink,
dolled up with gas to pass itself off as living.  Making real ale demands
dedication and affection for the product.  It's a real and alive thing.  That's
what makes it difficult to keep and that's what makes it worth looking for.  A
society that can still produce real beer has still preserved some values that
are not based on greed and profit.  So let's lift a glass to CAMRA's Good
Beer Guide for keeping one element of our society healthy for over thirty
years !"
-Terry Jones
A legend passes and we will not soon forget his contributions to our
world.  It is now the task of you and I to carry on Mr. Jackson's works.
We at Dunkles & Jaffa Cakes salute you Mr. Jackson.  We will drink and
toast your honor tonight (9/1/07) at our monthly committee meeting.
God Bless You and happy journeys to that great pub in the sky.
"Many of the world's best-known beers are almost tasteless. Their sales may be huge, but, like
many popular products, they are not memorable. To produce a tasteless brew from barley-malt
and hops is a difficult, but dubious achievement. These are not great beers. If it tastes like
soda-pop with added alcohol, it is not a great beer; it is a means of delivering alcohol to the
brain without the intervention of taste.
-Michael Jackson (not "that" Michael Jackson)
