Scientists Create Extra-Long Life Beer

[Paradoxrifts]

Aged goat's urine is still goat's urine. Enzyme or no enzyme.

Now, what any self-respecting ale-head will tell you is that strong beers already age very well. This new barley is really only relevant to the flavorless goat pee that makes up the vast majority of successful canned beers. To wit; This new barley probably won't make Foster's taste any better, but at least it can't make it any worse.

Are you trying to tell me that people actually drink Fosters?

Not "people" per-se. Australians.

You won't find any Foster's here, mate. We export that shit because we refuse to drink it yet Americans pay top dollar for it because it's Australian and Beer at the same time.

Toohey's and VB are what you want to be drinking if you want good Aussie beer.

I don't drink beer but my mates do and sometimes they drink Fosters
Basically depends what's cheapest at the moment

Beer does not last long around me so all this science may be wasted.

I just came here to say that. Seems like my work has been done for me.

So, if anyone needs me, I`ll be at the bar... Bye.

Damnit, double ninja'ed

Aged goat's urine is still goat's urine. Enzyme or no enzyme.

Well if you drink goat's urine because you thought it was beer, I can understand why you don't like beer.

Yaay, now idiots can get drunk for longer on less money! That's just wonderful. I'm so glad this is a thing.

No? I just makes the beer have a longer expiration time, and not smell so bad when left unattended for a night.

So it lasts longer, so people can buy more and not worry about it going off, so they overall buy less over time. Really, the last thing Australia needs is more kinds of beer, or things to make beer better.

You didn't really just call VB a good Australian beer did you? VB is just the worst, James Squire is where it's at.

Maybe? Most beer gets drunk before expiration, at least that I know of.

You're worse than Hitler! (slight hyperbole).

This is irrelevant to my brewing needs. A good quality high strength beer with a focus on malt will age very well without this new barley while a good beer that has a focus on hops and therefore does not age well will not benefit at all because it should be drunk as soon as possible before the hop flavour mellows too much.

As the article states: this is a development to prolong the shelf life of mainstream flavourless "premium" (piss) lagers that have next to nothing in terms of malt, hops or flavour.

Heineken is in dire need of it.
Don't judge, it was a very good sale, which I have regretted ever since, also the second time because I thought it would be different.

Beer is an acquired taste, as in people generally acquire it from their alcoholic parents.

Then all my friends are children of alcoholics, time to revise the alcoholic statistics, speaking of which the guy in your avatar is a spitting image of the guy I drank beer with yesterday.

What definition of "alcoholism" are we talking about here? The one that is pushed by the preventative healthcare lobby wherein if you touch a glass of alcohol on consecutive days and you're a raging drunk, or the more widely accepted version that centers more on the type of people who destroy their livers by drinking themselves to sleep most every night?

And that's a picture of a young Aleister Crowley. He's been dead for almost sixty-five years.

You know, you should really polish your hyperbolic practice because it is very misleading.

But I guess most would fall in the former, I don't personally know any functioning (real) alcoholics (I can smell it on people's skin). And I tend to view alcoholism as if you have to get a (or half a bottle of scotch) drink in the morning to just to be able to function.
Speaking of which, saw a few guys sitting and drinking 7:50 this morning on the way to swimming (which was closed for repairs *sadface*)

Well it looks like by friend in that picture, not so much in others.

I am a 27 year old beer swilling, footy watching Australian male, and i've never drunk a Fosters in my life...In fact the only time I've seen it advertised was in a closed bar window in Seattle.

Fosters is the most famous Australian beer we never drink.

I like how you take offense to being told you drink Fosters but not to the implication that you're not a real human because you live in Australia.

The implication that we drunk Fosters had much higher priority on the scale of insults.

Clearly this is the most important scientific discovery of the decade, until they find hangover cures.

From what I understand from my Aussie cousin, they don't actually drink it, they just export it.

oh that's going to be a hilarious new insult to add to my arsenal
