One quiz at a time

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 20:43 Tue 11 Nov 2014

It was aged by a second fermentation in bottle (like in sparkling wine).

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:45 Tue 11 Nov 2014

But all bottle-conditioned beer has a secondary fermentation. Can't be this.

It was aged in Lycra.

Post by **flash_uk** » 20:48 Tue 11 Nov 2014

Aged with bottom fermenting yeasts rather than top fermenting yeasts.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 20:51 Tue 11 Nov 2014

Well done Glenn.

Glenn E. wrote:How was this beer aged?

Using time as the main ingredient. In a cheese cave.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 20:52 Tue 11 Nov 2014

I think Owen is getting there. Was it aged with a close awareness of Bergsonian time and a nod to Proust?

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 20:55 Tue 11 Nov 2014

It is bottle conditioned (I believe), but that's not the aspect that I'm looking for.

Not aged in Lycra, though that's the closest guess so far.

I don't know what type of yeast was used (so regardless, that's not the correct answer).

Not in a cheese cave.

Not literary.

I may have been too precise in my terminology. I'm not a beer person, so "aging" may not be the correct term for what was done to this beer.

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 20:59 Tue 11 Nov 2014

Nope, just looked it up online and the brewer uses the word "aged" in the description of what I'm looking for as the answer.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:07 Tue 11 Nov 2014

Lycra was the nearest answer???

Wow.

Was it kept in a sack?

In bourbon barrels?

Yes, bourbon barrels. Bourbon County Stout by Goose Island Beer Company is the beer in question.

Well done, Owen. Or not.

Post by **flash_uk** » 21:14 Tue 11 Nov 2014

In tequila barrels

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 21:14 Tue 11 Nov 2014

Er, in what way is that 'close' to Lycra?

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 21:16 Tue 11 Nov 2014

djewesbury wrote:Er, in what way is that 'close' to Lycra?

It was the only guess about the container that the beer was aged in.

Have another go if you feel short changed otherwise I shall carry on fashioning my train question. I am afraid it was courtesy of you evil genius overlord, google, I mean.

Stupid question of the week:

The woman in green standing in front of 64 different taps at the bar in O'Neil's near College Green, Dublin..,

{engage Dublin accent}

"Which beers do you have?"

Priceless.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 14:29 Fri 14 Nov 2014

Well, what beers did they have? And have you tried them all?

Post by **DRT** » 14:45 Fri 14 Nov 2014

I had a Peroni.

One drink per pub. Now in The Stag's Head on Dame Lane. Fabulously unmodernised.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 15:44 Fri 14 Nov 2014

Lovely. An old favourite. Very good Guinness and they used to have excellent toasties too. Half of Ireland used to survive on toasted cheese and ham in smouldering plastic.

PopulusTremula · Post by **PopulusTremula** » 16:48 Fri 14 Nov 2014

I understand and enjoy the bumpy cheese sandwich but, at the risk of swearing in church, wherein lies the enjoyment of imbibing Guiness? With tar being its closest relative in terms of appearance and flavour, the romantic ideal of G is lost on me. Give me an ale anyday, cold, with head and preferably Belgian. That said i do like the Meantime IPA rather a lot.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 17:03 Fri 14 Nov 2014

Cold beer??

I knew temp would be contentious but hey ho. In other news: fog in the English Channel, continent isolated!

I am sitting at my desk, typing Christie’s data, drinking Offley LBV 2007, and listening to an opera at which I am, again, cackling. What opera? (And, bonus point, what’s cooking?)

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 20:16 Sat 20 Dec 2014

I don't know much about opera. So I would just guess: Magic Flute?
As for cooking: a stew?

Post by **jdaw1** » 20:19 Sat 20 Dec 2014

More recent, and much funnier.

AW77 wrote:As for cooking: a stew?

It has only four ingredients, one of which is water. No, not stew.

Naughty Marietta and soup.

No. It is now resting.

Nixon in China (well I think it's funny) and pheasant.

I do like Nixon in China, but more recent, and much funnier.

No. Not avian.

The Jungle Book and roast beef?

Jerry Springer, the opera and daube en wotsit.

I am channeling Daniel who says; Anna Nicole, Brandy and Benedictine with an egg in it.

Post by **DRT** » 00:08 Sun 21 Dec 2014

I think Owen has nailed the opera.

Brisket?

Yes, a, if not the, fantastic comic opera.

And boiled tongue.

I am looking at a decorative pill box which has three of a particular animal on the lid. What is the animal?

I don't believe you. I have had it before, and will never do so again. If the alternative to eating tongue was vegetarianism I would be all greened-up.

Owen's question: Ferret?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 00:34 Sun 21 Dec 2014

Ferret? Three ferrets? No. Heraldry wise I include sables in the afore mentioned ferret.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 00:36 Sun 21 Dec 2014

A clue so we can all get to bed; this motif is found as far away as China but is not uncommon on the decorative bosses in church roofs.

Post by **DRT** » 00:38 Sun 21 Dec 2014

I know the answer, but it isn't my turn.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 01:16 Sun 21 Dec 2014

Leopards

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 01:20 Sun 21 Dec 2014

Good evening.

Not leopards. Nothing to say about leopards. Apart from 'The Leopard'.

Post by **DRT** » 01:24 Sun 21 Dec 2014

Dragons?
