quote:

A new study from the American Association of Wine Economists explores the world of beer rather than wine, and the findings indicate that you could be buying a favorite brand of brew for no good reason whatsoever. While the experiments conducted were limited, the results show that when labels are removed from beer bottles, drinkers can't tell different brands apart—sometimes even when one of those brands is the taster's go-to drink of choice.

...

In the blind tasting condition, no beer was judged by its regular drinkers to be significantly better than the other samples. In fact, regular drinkers of two of the five beers scored other beers significantly higher than the brand that they stated was their favorite.

That just refers to the sort of boring-rear end lagers that Americans mostly think of when they think generically of "beer", though. There's a shitload of variety in the beer world, from sour cherry krieks to coffee-like stouts.

All that said, we must point out the study's shortcomings. The beer tastings were very limited in scope. It's not like tasters were asked to compare Bud Light and a hoppy craft IPA, and then failed to tell the difference. And just because some volunteers couldn't differentiate between beers doesn't mean that you, with your superior palate, would be just as clueless. You may very well buy your favorite beer brand because, to quote an old beer ad, it "tastes great."

Different types of beer, mostly.

Every country has their lovely lagers that don't taste that great and you drink just cause you want to drink a beer, cheaply. VB, Asahi, Fosters, Corona, Heineken, Bud. There's nothing wrong with lovely beer, unless you're being a beer snob. It has its place. Every country produces poo poo beer, every country drinks poo poo beer; that's not the same as saying "all the beer made by such-and-such-a-country is poo poo".

"Good" beer is beer that's actually tasty, at least once you have developed a beer palate. Belgian beers of various type, pale ales, pilsners, IPAs, stouts, etc etc. I find American style pale ales like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or the Australian Little Creatures Pale Ale actually have fruity notes to them, and that's actually entirely from the type of hops used.

poo poo beer is beer that's either bland or actively tastes bad. I swear, I've never had a Carlton Draught that didn't taste like it had expired. But other than that, VB, Foster's, Coopers, Crown Lager are all pretty much fine. Just insipid and a tad unpleasant, but one and a half beers in I find my palate adjusts. Or I've deadened my taste buds.

sucks to be right

What a strange trick.

Hot glue is usually about 200°C /400°F when it comes out of the gun so it not only hurts like gently caress but it'll give you second degree burns pretty much immediately, and then you'll tear off small chunks of your flesh when you try to peel the glue off your skin. "Hey let's deliberately adhere something that's twice as hot as boiling water to my loving epidermis" is a remarkably dumb idea.

Edit: from their youtube video comments

quote:

It only left a couple small red burns no blisters or anything but to answer your question there was zero intention of burning him and the reaction was not fake or planned. Like I said above the original plan was to have the bottle glued to his hand. We tried three times trying to get it to work before looking back at the footage and realizing how good the first shot looked. The second attempt we let it cool down too long and the third attempt the glue was still too hot to hold his hand still. Here is a direct link to the footage of the first and last attempts with sound.

:yeah:

The most popular beers in almost every country are all very similar, but there are beers that are so different you'd think it was a completely different type of beverage. Which I guess it basically is :v: The first beer I tried that I actually enjoyed was a very dark, nearly sirupy imperial stout. Since then I've also acquired a taste for sour beers. Doesn't look, taste or smell anything remotely like what most people think of when they think "beer", it's like apples and oranges.

Yeah, I'm the same way. I thought I hated beer for a long time, but it turns out I just hate the pilsner/light lager stuff that everyone else seems to like. Once I was exposed to stouts and porters I was all about beer.
