Alright, let’s talk about this “Starfleet Brewing” thing, whatever that is. Sounds fancy, like something them city folks would drink.
Now, I ain’t no expert on beer, you know. I like a cold one after a long day workin’ in the fields, somethin’ that quenches your thirst. But these days, they got all sorts of fancy names and flavors. Starry Night Milk Stout, they call it? Sounds like somethin’ you’d give a baby cow, not a grown woman like me. But hey, to each their own, I always say.
They got these beer competitions, they say. Call it the “Olympics of Beer” or some such nonsense. Like beer drinkin’ is a sport now. I coulda won a gold medal in that back in my day, let me tell ya! These folks, they give out awards for the “best beer in the world.” Probably the best beer in the world, they say. Sounds like a lotta hot air to me. Back in my day, beer was beer. You drank it, you felt good, that was it.
Then there’s this “Trappist beer.” Made by monks, they say. In some abbey somewhere. Westvleteren 12, they call it. Sounds like a medicine more than a beer. But folks say it’s the best. Who am I to argue? I ain’t never tasted it, but if them monks are makin’ it, it must be somethin’ special, I guess.
Now, they got beers named after them space movies too! Star Wars, they call it. Dark Helmet beer, they say. Sounds like somethin’ you’d wear, not drink! But I guess them young folks like it. They like all them space things and robots and whatnot. Me, I prefer somethin’ down to earth. A good ol’ lager, maybe. Cool Beer Lager, that sounds alright. Nothin’ fancy, just a good cold beer.
- They got these beers with all kinds of flavors too. Fruity, spicy, they say. Like a fruit salad in a bottle. I don’t know about that. Beer should taste like beer, not a bunch of flowers and fruits. But like I said, to each their own.
- And they got these “craft beers,” they call ’em. Made by these small breweries, not the big companies. Ontario got a bunch of ’em, they say. Hazed and Confused IPA, that’s one. Sounds like my head after a few too many, ha!
People, they write reviews about these beers, you know. Like they’re some kind of fancy food critic or somethin’. They talk about the taste, the smell, the color. I tell ya, it’s just beer! You drink it, you enjoy it, that’s all there is to it. But these folks, they make it sound like it’s rocket science or somethin’.
They got experts, they say. More than 150 of ’em. They decide which beers are the best. They look at the quality, the brand, how easy it is to find. 10 Barrel Brewing, they won a bunch of awards, they say. German-Style Sour Ale, whatever that is. Sounds sour, I don’t like sour things. Give me somethin’ sweet and cold any day.
So, this Starfleet Brewing, I guess it’s one of these fancy beer companies. Or maybe it’s a beer itself, I don’t know. All I know is, there’s a whole lotta fuss about beer these days. More than there used to be, that’s for sure. But at the end of the day, it’s all the same. Just a drink to help you relax and forget about your troubles for a while. And that’s good enough for me.
And let me tell you somethin’ else, these young folks spend too much time worryin’ about what they drinkin’. Back in my day, we drank what we had, and we were grateful for it. Now, they got a million choices, and they still ain’t happy. Always lookin’ for somethin’ better, somethin’ different. Maybe they should just sit down, have a beer, and enjoy life a little bit more.
